An Unexpected Bonus - 27 Feb 08
Isn’t a great feeling when you put on a coat or jacket that you haven’t worn in a while and find some money in one of the pockets? It might be £5, £10 or even £20, but the amount doesn’t really matter. What’s more important is that you didn’t know you’d lost the money, so when you find it, its like getting something for nothing.

Going Green - One Year On - 10 Feb 08
On the eve of Mad Eejits hosting the Carnival of the Green for the first time, I thought it might be worthwhile to look back on our first year of trying to be more eco-friendly to see what we’ve achieved.
Daddy Day Care Survived! - 08 Feb 08
Sarah arrived back home this morning, officially marking the end of Daddy Day Care Week and I’m happy to declare it a success. Ben and I both made it through unharmed, well-fed and cleanly clothed. I managed to squeeze in two nappy washes over the week, so running out of clean ones was never likely to happen.
Daddy Day Care Update - 06 Feb 08
Well we’re still alive, so that’s good.
We’ve been having a great time, but as much as its fun, its also very tiring as there’s always something to be done. Some things are easier to do once Ben is asleep and some things you can’t do then because they might waken him (e.g. hoover, which by the way, Ben thinks is hilarious).
Daddy Day Care - 01 Feb 08
Tonight Sarah heads off to a trade fair, leaving Ben and me to fend for ourselves for a week. Its the first time that either one of us has been away, leaving the other one ‘holding the baby’ and I’ll admit to being slightly nervous about it. Its not like I’ve never looked after Ben on my own before, but there’s never been an ‘overnight’ involved before, nevermind 7 of them.
