Daughter No 1 has been off on her Duke of Edinburgh award expedition last week. She left for school on the Wednesday morning announcing that she was off on a day of navigation skills, followed by camping out, then a long walk, more camping out, then a walk back to school. "Where are you going?"
I got into the office today to find Sam sitting against the wall. He was red in the face and his legs were shaking. I could have got quite concerned that something serious was wrong until he announced that Des had done 1 minute 45 seconds and he had to beat him! Next up was Colin who finally slid to
I'm back! Well technically I've been in a out of the office a few times over the last week or so but to be perfectly honest I've really not been up to much. But now I'm starting to get some energy back and have realised that the mountain of paper work on my desk really won't just
I'm signing off for a couple of weeks from tomorrow – I'm back into hospital for another reconstruction op at the Christie Hospital. If ever there was an uplifting place it's The Christie. It's a dedicated cancer hospital so you'd think it would feel all doom and gloom but it doesn't

Sometimes I really do sit back and think what a fun job being at the marina is. I used to hate Monday mornings but the last few have been really great fun. It started off a couple of week ago with a visit from a reporter for Radio 4's Farming Today – they were running a week on rural tourism and
Half way through the school holidays and I'm doing quite well at keeping everything up in the air – balancing the kids and work can be quite a juggling act. Typically I spend most of my day at work feeling guilty I'm not at home doing things with the girls....then I race home to find they haven't
I've had a bit of a treat today – I took the executive decision to get out of the office and onto the Wheelyboat. I gatecrashed the 10.30am trip and had a lovely time until Rod handed me the tiller and said "she's all yours". The look of horror on my face must have been a picture
