Eight weeks after accepting an offer and we finally have an exchange and completion date, now the only problem is the completion/moving date is just 6 days away, so I’ve been on the phone all day sorting things ready for the move. I forgot how many places my address needs to be changed, so it’s […]

Looks like my blogs fillining up with my “Random Twitterings” from Twitter, it’s a good reminder for me to post more often I guess.. I’m still waiting on exchange and completion dates for my move, so life’s kinda on hold at the moment, just the “calm before the storm” of moving I guess, but it’s […]

wow, my house is half empty! Ira (aka the “X2B”) has moved out and is taking the last of her share of our stuff with her tomorrow, so my house is a little empty. I also spent most of last weekend (easter bank holiday) filling up a skip with all the stuff that seems to […]

well it looks like after four years of living on the outskirts of Cheltenham I’m finally going to live a bit closer in to town and not have to pay £7 each way for a taxi whenever I want to go for a beer! I’ve started hunting for a new flat/house to live in and […]

13, unlucky for some, or so they say.. Well, I just signed my second divorce petition and returned it to my solicitor today, dated 13th of Feb, on a leap year too, another date that will be easy for me to remember. Isn’t it strange how numbers are sometimes. I suspect it’s because the Universe […]

This may seem a strange thing to post about here, but there is a reason.. My dad is taking my sister on holiday with him in a couple of months to visit Las Vegas, and it looks like they should choose a hotel other than the Monte Carlo to stay in, as it’s currently on […]

I was back in my home town of Hay-on-Wye on Friday night to watch my Son Sam turn on the town’s Christmas lights. He won a competition in school to design a new flag for the town and this was the prize, so there was a big turn out of “clan Garrett” to watch. Unfortunately […]

it seems like Gemma, my daughter, has inherited the family traight for enjoying, and possibly even being reasonably good at, art. When she was staying with me last weekend I caught her “doodling” whilst watching TV and she was generous enough not only to let me see what she’d drawn but give me the original […]

I’m a very proud dad tonight. 🙂 My son, Sam, Skyped me earlier tongith to tell me he had got some good news today. There was a competition in his school a little while back for who could design the best flag. He found out today that he’d won! and the prize..? The prize is […]

Apparently Layla Cox, who did the Conversational Traits Video I posted yesterday, missed one, so here it is: – are you a “one upper”?

Well I managed to sneak away for my traditional few days camping with my kids and parents this weekend and, apart from the night we arrived, the weather was perfect, real hot sunny summer weather, at long last… Here’s a couple of photos of Rhosilli beach to prove it, the quality’s not that good as […]
