For those of you who are not Irish, that reads as “Technology sometimes lets you down”. In other words technology would drive you feckin mad at times. In the past twenty four hours I have been more than a little disappointed by it’s shortcomings. Take last night for example. I came home from a night … More Technofeckinology!
Do you pass judgement on people you see without ever knowing them? Many years ago whilst training to be a nurse I spent time in a childrens hospital in the accident and emergency department. While I was there I got great experience which was invaluable in my nursing training. However it was the lessons in … More What do you see when you’re looking at me?
I think the world can be divided very simply into two types of people. Those who write lists, and those who don’t. I am in the latter, as you may have guessed, and my overly organised mother, and very non free spirited husband, are in the former. Not that I am judging, but I’m just … More Five reasons I hate lists.
The final letter this weekend is a very powerful letter, written by Confessions of a Nail Technician. I am sure it was not an easy letter to write. She has bravely waived anonymity. Dear Craig, I was 24 and fairly naive when you met me. You were 16 years my senior. Did you really think … More Series of letters. Letter 7.
The next letter in my “series of letters” comes from Duncan over on madhatters. While what he writes in this letter is true, I am sure it is told with a hint of Duncans wicked humour. Letter to my Dad I’ve heard the story so many times at family parties over the years – how … More Series of letters. Letter 6.
This is a lovely letter from a mother to her children. It’s writer blogs at Its all about a bit of this and that.

The internet here in Ireland is buzzing tonight, and the reason behind it? Katy Hopkins. A British upper class “lady” who makes her money in some small measure by courting controversy. She is very opinionated, and has a most unusual take on a lot of women’s issues. The rumours tell us she will be speaking … More Katy Hopkins, look at me I am a stay at home mom.
It’s winter in Ireland, a time of rain, gales and cold weather. Viruses and illness are everywhere. Similar to flue and swine flue, this country is in the midst of an epidemic. It began slowly two weeks ago and has now peaked. It is called Garth Brooks fever. I have been struck down. Badly. The … More I’m sick!
My youngest who is still eleven asks me almost daily “Can I have a sleepover for my birthday?”. She is my fourth child so as you can imagine, I am not a novice in this. I know the word sleepover is a joke. There is no sleep in sleepover. Without hesitation I say, for the … More Can I have a sleepover?
This day last year “My thoughts on a page” was born. I remember so well that very first day when I wrote my first post. I thought the web was a huge place and I would be relatively anonymous.
