I haven't been writing on this blog for a while, just too many other  things on the go! We've finished the kitchen in our house and paid the builder, gotto sort out some spare cash for Christmas now, not as easy as it sounds!

I managed to annoy a load of friends with a facebook post about the public sector workers who went on strike, as you can imagine being self employed and totally responsible for my current and future finances I have little sympathy with council/gov workers who get 5 weeks paid holidays a year, paid sick leave and a guaranteed pension of any sort, non of that happens for me! My choice but still not sympathetic.

Had a couple of cousins visiting this year which is really nice and quite a change cos we live in the back of beyond, first Jane came down and we had a blast then Netty & Nick which was a quieter weekend but great funa dn really good to see them with enough time to chat & socialise.

As always, I'm a boring old git, just working all the time, eJurassic is ticking over nicely, down a little on last year but still bringing in a wage.

Our website www.wills.org.uk is gearing up for a really good year next year, we've sort of re-invested in the site, we tried to get an automated system working but it was slow and clunky so we've reverted to me writing all the wills from the online form and for the time being, that's working well. If anyone reading this wants discount off the wills on that site there's a discount code you can type in to get 10% off - FR33H1T - feel free to tell anyone you know about that code as I'm happy to get clients cheaply rather than paying affiliates and/or advertising.

Cats are being a pain in the arse, for some reason they're peeing everywhere inside the house, some sort of teritorial stuff going down, I looked up reasons for this on the web and found that a typical reason for this behaviour is having a kitchen fitted out and we've just done that so brought it upon ourselves, hey ho!

Got Anya and co coming down next weekend for an early christmas family dinner, Anya's cooking at our house, new kitchen etc. so we're really lookign forward to that. Then we've got christmas proper at home, Mum & Dad coming around after watching the harbour swim and the obligatory hour in the Kings Arms!

That's about everything as far as catch up goes, Merry Christmas to anyone who reads this (which is quite possibly only my best mate Ger in Houston, Texas) friends are what life's all about!

View Article  Mad family wedding

Just come back from a big weekend up near Manchester, big family wedding and it was one to remember, loads of fun.

Pretty little country church to start off with, ceremony started as usual, then the rings were flown into the church by an Owl! rest of the ceremony was pretty much as usual but at the end they had a gospel band just like in "Love Actually" singing "All you need is love!" with a guitarist and a sax player popping up just like the movie!

The reception was at Lyme Park which was the setting for the famous Mr Darcy coming out of the lake all wet in the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice, what a beautiful setting for a wedding. During the meal we had a wedding singer keeping everyone entertained, 2 close quarter magicians and dancing between the tables between the courses! Apart from the food being of top restaurant standard, it was simply the best Lamb I've ever tasted.

Joe Hart was there, the England keeper, he's a mate of my cousins so like a fool I had my photo taken with him. We danced the night away with family having a great laugh then at 10.30 there was half an hour solid of fireworks, not one going off and an oooh, aaah, but 5 in the air literally all the time for half an hour, it didn't seem to end! Even better than Weymouth beach during the summer (council pays for that one!)

That's it now, back in Dorset feeling a little better about our situation, up there we were definately the poor relatives! Think about the quality of life Matt!!!!!
