    Just a quick apology guys,

    When I cut and pasted my blog, it placed the entire blog into one long paragraph.

    I have spent the last 15 minutes trying to correct it and make it more readable, However the font is a little larger than I prefer but it won't let me reduce it further.

    If Sky Rich could go into my blog and make the font a little smaller, I would appreciate it.

    I'll have to apologise in advance then, the last one was about 2900 words.

    The next one, (already finished and waiting about a week before I post it) is over 3500 words.

    From what I understand, we all have about a month (maybe 6 weeks) to post our blogs.

    Unfortunately, I have actually finished 3 of them already, (1, 2 and 4) and am currently working my way thorugh number 3.

    The biggest problem I have found with writing them is that once a subject gets into my head, It keeps bouncing around until I get it down. The end result is that I cant sleep.

    Also, I have found that until I get them down on MS word, I am scared of forgetting stuff. This keeps me awake more.

    I draft them out and over a week or so, I make various changes, take out jokes that aren't that great, add new stuff I think of and generally tinker with it till I am happy.

    I have actually changed that particular blog too many times to remember and it bears no real resemblance to it's original form.

    I am still tinkering with number 4, but number 2 is ready to go to print.

    I do need to wait about 10 days before posting it as I have 4 really good idea's at the minute, unless I get a flash of inspiration, I will need to spread them out a little.

    Personally, I think number 2 is a lot funnier than number 1, but I will let you lot decide that.

    The sad thing is.......

    Number 2 is actually about 95% true.

    Touchy subject.

    My old man started decorating 18 months ago. He gutted the entire house..........

    Not done that much since mind you.

    It's a good job the nieghbours are broad minded, had no bedroom curtains now for well over a year.

    I have frightened/aroused the window cleaner more than once.

    I am not sure what to make of that remark. Either find out where you live and avoid at all costs or find out where you live and bring my ladder with me.

    Brilliant pennage Hayley!

    Awesome read.


    The font-size is a little too small for me to read, but it's beautifully Presented.

    That is the second comment on the font size being too small.

    On my computer, it is way too large, but this may be because I am the poster.

    I will increase the size now, can people let me know if this is better?

    Give me about 10 minutes.

    I have now increased the size.

    Better or worse???

    I need a bit of help here as It seems too large for me now, but like I say, it may be just I am the blogger and it appears larger for me as I post/edit it.
