Changes are Afoot

Posted by: Rox on: 29/07/2009

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been in my humble (rented) abode for almost 9 months now, I’ve really enjoyed my time here but life never stands still.

More Quirky Than Normal

Posted by: Rox on: 16/05/2009

The latest quiz running around the social media sites at the moment is the What kind of man/woman are you?  found on the HelloQuizzy site.  These quizzes can be fun, a bit like going to see a fortune teller or a psychic and the results should always be taken with a heavy dose of salt. I mean, [...]

After Work Drinks

Posted by: Rox on: 29/04/2009

It always fun to join coworkers for a few drinks after work as it’s great way to break the ice and get to know everybody better. So in true fashion, my co trainees decided to celebrate our first pay packet by charging across the road last Friday to the local pub where we were rewarded [...]

Curly or Straight?

Posted by: Rox on: 17/02/2009

It’s time I had a wee poll.
For those of you who don’t know me well, I have very curly hair,  and for special occasions, have had my hair straightened.
Straightening my hair is not a job for the faint hearted and not one I care to do myself.  The time and energy it takes, vigorously pulling [...]

The year started under a black cloud, I had just entered my 25th year of a very unhappy marriage, while at [...]
