WHY DON'T THESE BASTARDS RESIGN?????? Part 2
The Beat Goes On - as katray would say. Tessa Jowell, Health Minister, gave two keynote speeches yesterday at health worker conferences, and received a barrage of awkward questions, boos, jeers, laughter and slow hand-clapping.

I JUST GAVE AWAY A FOURTH TV!
It's been over five years now since I owned a TV. The moment I made the decision came in 2000. I was sitting in a flat in the Barbican, London - it came with the job I had at the time - and I was ready for a cozy night in. Take-away food was laid out ready. Beers in the fridge. TV remote by my side....

WHAT IS DIGNITY?
T said an interesting thing the other day. She'd read in a parenting book that, when changing a nappy, it's important for the baby to retain his or her dignity throughout the process. We both loved the sentiment behind this idea, but then I started wondering what it actually means. Now, I don't...

CAN YOU COME TO MY 500th BIRTHDAY PARTY NEXT MONTH?
Sam is at his very best in the mornings, around 10am-noon, after his first two feeds and his morning nap. Mum, who lives just up the road, tends to babysit in the afternoons, a couple of times a week, when he can get a bit crochety. She rarely sees him at his gurgling, cooing, giggling best! So this...
