Annoyed at my wastefulness (is this is word?) I have decided to have a go online. The main reason for this is because I have been following several bloggers for months now( jaynebeth, exmoor jane, milly - and many more. So caught up am I in everyone elses life, I thought I'd have a go at recording all the things that happen to my family, so here goes. My name is Jacqui and my hubby is martin. I have two kids in primary school (one boy, one girl) and we live in a small town. Our tiny cottage will hopefully be extended at some point this year although we arent holding our breath (planning issues/building certs etc). My ideal home would be close to the sea and my love of the country comes from spending all my summer holidays in the west of ireland with my nan (who is 94). If anyone wants to comment on anything I write, I'd be delighted.<br />Recent Comments<br /><a id="collapser" title="Toggle the full view of comment.." onclick="document.getElementById('9025').style.display = (document.getElementById('9025').style.display == 'block') ?

Welcome,look forward to your blog.<br />Posted by MILLY<br />February 15, 2007 02:44 PM<br /><a id="collapser" title="Toggle the full view of comment.." onclick="document.getElementById('9029').style.display = (document.getElementById('9029').style.display == 'block') ?

I have recently started buying lovely boxes, tins and bags to keep my things in but I suppose this just adds to a different sort of clutter. My hubby is very amused at my antics and has a standard reply of "just what we need" everytime I bring something new home. As you say, its hard to be creative and tidy.<br />Posted by JacquiMcR<br />February 15, 2007 03:04 PM<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2494633268487315674-4982097778299940825?l=blogs-from-the-past.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JacquiMcRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00708104008809827371noreply@blogger.com3
