Three random things that have aggravated me in the last 24 hours in no particular order:
- Grandparents: when taking your grandchild to swimming lessons please don’t applaud repeatedly and shout suggestions of technique to them. For one, it distracts the child. Secondly, it annoys the teacher. Finally, and most importantly, it completely pisses off the parent sitting next to you who is trying to read her Practical Photography magazine in the only half hour she’s had to herself all summer.
- Drivers who pootle along at 40mph in a nice wide, straight and open “National Speed Limit Applies” road (with unfortunately no overtaking opportunities due to level of traffic) but then speed up when they reach a 30mph zone. Wankers.
- Pissant bullying lawyers who suddenly offer no-win no-fee for superfluous libel cases. Because obviously being a top childcare guru just doesn’t pay enough to obliterate any site on the Internet that doesn’t agree with you. Naming no names of course. (Legal fund here. Petition here.)

ARGH. Blogger ate my blog. I am mortified. I know you were interested in the Gina Ford stuff I wrote. I managed to save most of it. I am now at http://www.doingitallagain.com if you want to continue reading.
Bah. Technology. I’ve also linked to you from my site. Hope that is ok.

Thanks Emily – have updated the link to you from the relevant Gina post :) I’m honoured to be linked to from you :)
Sounds like you’ve had as good a day as I have…

I can’t thank you enough for sorting the link out. It’s been a nightmare. I was *this* close to dumping the blog and saying to hell with it. All that time and effort into communicating with people and then blogger eats it!
Hope your day gets better too. I think it has been a global bad week from all the blogs I’ve read!

Ahhh Pew,
Your comment on drivers made me chuckle. I have this great image of you forming the words but not vocvalizing due to the little ‘uns being in the car…

Lol Ayrt – and this is why I blog – somewhere to send the bottled up expletives :)
