I’m so sick of trying to salvage my cat blog that I’ve decided to go back to Blogger - Nooooo, not really!
I have decided to completely zap Simplycats off my server, including the sub-domain.  Then I shall load a new copy of WordPress 2.7, make my sub-domain again and drag my old back-up into the [...]

What a Christmas present!
The only reason I have not put my ‘Frustrated Babs’ doodle here is because it’s Christmas, and I didn’t want to spoil the Christmas mood.
About a week ago, I updated my Photo Blog to WordPress 2.7.  I chose just the one so I could be sure it would go OK, and to [...]

Mo and I have been following the X Factor (UK) this year again, as there are a few brilliant singers in the ‘over twenties’.  This week was Mariah Carey week, and she was present, and worked with all the singers.
There is just no understanding the way the public vote.  There is a chap who, although [...]

Just two days after the [...]

For those of you that probably won’t know, ‘Fings ain’t what they used to be’ is an old Cockney song ;O)
I went to a party last night.  It was a great party but I had two disappointments which were both to do with food.  It was a lovely spread that was all very fresh.  The [...]

I hope you’re not all bored with this WordPress stuff, but…..

Our cooker started acting up the other day. The timer panel wouldn’t allow us to use the oven. After all that’s gone wrong with us lately, that was all we needed!
We found a cooker repair company and was given a quote for £200, and told we had to wait 8 days, as they [...]

I got my new carpet laid today. It was the final stage in a very long and very messy job.
