... but I am loving hating it!It's like Back to the Future II where they go back and the once lovely neighbourhood is now a broken, chaotic hell hole!The heat is wiltering... I have just spent 1.5 hours walking to a Boots type/baby food selling shop and had to take 4 elevators and 2 bridges just to cross the road. Sweat is pouring from my head and both Harry and I are bright red and drinking

People loved him and life was nothing like you'd

I am not sure I am quite well in the head - I have left packing to the last minute - my rucksack feels like a coffin full of dead rugby players and I have three pieces of hand luggage. My poor drunk and was-going-to-help-me mother has given me a cool, kind, generous but ultimately heavy and bulky going away present which has doubled the weight of my hand luggage (and now she sits snoring, having

Hey!You might be interested to know that today I made a payment to Warchild for just over £1,200 raised by the book You're Not The Only One - see below for all the details...It wasn't as much as I was hoping for but sadly life got in the way of pushing this as much as I wanted - Warchild are chuffed to bits and we will be added to their contributors on their site shortly - not to mention we have

It's getting to be a bit of a chore rather than a pleasure I'm afraid and I am sad to see it go, but the little fat blog thing now and I are going to say goodnight... Maybe I'll start a new blog with pregnancy and baby stuff on it, as that's pretty much my life right now, but I have gone as far as I can with this blog ...... I've kept up the You're Not The Only One posts, and hope you'll buy

UPDATE 2: Hey guys - thanks again so much for all your comments and emails saying you've ordered the book and/or have received it and enjoyed it. Yay! I do read them all, things have got a bit crazy in my world of late so I haven't had a chance to answer you individually or even blog properly. Will be back as soon as poss - we've raised over £800 in the first week for Warchild and the total still

OK, we're nearly there. I'm hoping for next week! But if not, due to certain technical things, I am hoping it will be by the end of May. That seems like a long way off doesn't it? But no longer than that I really hope. There's one large thing I am trying to do which will make the whole project even better, so hang with me just a little little and we will have the best charity book ever!

Hey, just a quick heads up, because I know you're all desperate to know, I'm back on the internet at home and got lots of proofing done this weekend, so very very shortly we will have our book! Warchild are still reading it - I will chase them today - and the artwork is still forthcoming. Again, apologies for the delays...and no I will not give a sneaky peak of the line-up to you yet! Come on

Well, the annoying and frustrating news is that we're going to have to delay "launching" the book til after Easter. Sorry about that. There are a few reasons: -Still waiting on a cover. We have a few people working on that now, which is great.Warchild haven't got back to me and approved the racier submissions (there are only a few).Plus, I haven't heard back from a few submitters - can you check

Hey, we're nearly there with the book, editing and re-reading and slotting it all together... but we still haven't got any cover art finalised and so, if you fancy submitting us something, please do.We are waiting on a few people who said they might be able to get us something, but we'd thought we'd throw it out there for good measure just in case.DEADLINE: Sunday 16th March - 9pmSPEC: Something

NEW DEADLINE SUNDAY 9TH MARCH 08"Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them!"Shit, I think I was just on TV. Our workplace has been in the news a bit lately (for boring not scandalous reasons, sadly) and as it's a media company there are often cameras and semi-famous people milling around which I usually tune out unless they're particularly ridiculous but

It would be the week I start this blog book up and have a hideously large work project come up that my flaming internet connection at home goes awol wouldn't it?We've been booing (as in tears) and ahhhh and ooohing at your fantastic submissions - so varied, so well written, so damn moving...

THE BOOK IS OUT! GO HEREOne of the things that a lot of us love about blogging is that we share experiences. We may not meet or even see our fellow bloggers but we feel we know them. For many of us it's an important part of feeling connected, almost like having another support system. Recently I tagged some bloggers on memes requiring a bit more info on who they were and what they felt and what
