New Photo Section

// October 30th, 2001 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

I’m very pleased to say that my new, revamped photo section is complete. All sorts of new stuff is there, and the old stuff is currently being rather splendidly converted…

A particular favourite is my entry for the World’s Untidiest Bedroom…

Advent Calendar and Quote

// October 29th, 2001 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

Woohoo! Regular as clockwork, Dad’s bought me my Christmas Advent Calendar! A rather splendid Mars one, too.

And another classic and completely unprompted quote crosses my mum’s lips: “I’m very glad to say, Simon, that you’d look absolutely appalling in a dress.”

You’re not the only one that’s glad.

BBC Vocabulary Quiz – I got 2/10. Pitiful.

Birthday knees up

// October 28th, 2001 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

Well, what a weekend! a BIRTHDAY weekend, to be precise. An enormous knees-up with subsidised drinks in Bar Zuka and The Drink with Michelle, Becki, Nick, Paul D and Tom, followed by a good old get-together in Cranleigh watching Sparky sing away splendidly, with Jac, Simon H, Shaun, Elli and Zoe. I am now recovering. And trying to get the photos online before I fall asleep.

I should think I’ll probably fail…

Ciara – Most avid reader

// October 26th, 2001 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

Most Avid wibbler.com Reader of the Week Month Year: Ciara B. Ciara phoned this morning, wished me Happy Birthday, told me things that even I didn’t know about my site, and then complained about the distinct lack of updates last week. She then rounded it all off with a stonking party invitation. CRACKING girl. Splendid.

Happy Birthday to Me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MEEEEEEEEEE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

Just unwrapped this and this. And a tennis ball from my dog, bizarrely. I think Mum might have had a hand in that…

Ooooh, AND a birthday mention on Eagle FM. I’m honoured!
