I was strolling the floor of our local mega-supermart yesterday when I happened to find myself in the toy aisle. Resisting the impulse to clear the shelves into my trolley I stuck to a single item for as little as I could get away with. One rubber duck, mine for one pound twenty pence. Because, …

Guess the Band
Get ye over to MusicalMystery.com, answer the questions and win a prize. Go on, you know you want to. On the topic of music, you will be pleased to know that I have not been neglecting number one son’s musical education.

Travel
It’s not all dirty nappies and vomit caked t-shirts here at Chez Todd you know. In the search for an Easter break for the family I cam across this list of the top five cities in the world that you should visit. Well bugger me if we haven’t been to three of the five already …
Common People

My apologies for the lack of anything actually about me around these parts recently, but the apple of my eye has been teething and frankly I’ve been lucky to get five minutes …

There are some compensations for being at home with number one son. Apart from the obvious bonding, family related things of course. Shooting to top of the list today is the fact that we have Sky. Which means that I get to watch all of the England v West Indies test series. Marvellous.
Woops There Goes My Credit Card
This just in, I discovered a couple of new (to me) books on Amazon UK this evening. When I was a man of means and employment I would have ordered them on the spot because there is a special deal if you buy the two together. Now that I haven’t got an income I shall …
SAHD Man
My first day as a SAHD has gone quite well. It started at 5:30 or so, there was a brief respite between 6:30 and 8:00 and I am just now winding down at 9:00pm. Rather strangely for me there has been virtually none of that there intarweb surfing that usually occupies so much of my …
