I'm totally paranoid if it was someone I know in real life or just random. Cross with myself for letting it annoy me but I'm not thick skinned enough for that.
Thanks for all your kind words. I will still be reading all your posts.

Just Another Day At The Olympics

Don't be cross with yourself - something like that is bound to sting. I don't agree with the 'It's only the internet' crowd personally - I think that it doesn't matter if it's left as a relatively anonymous comment or yelled across the street, it's still upsetting. In fact I find internet stuff MORE upsetting because I'm sitting at home reading it so it feels like they've got into my house. Okay, maybe that's a bit mad.

I really hope that you decide to come back to blogging eventually as I really did enjoy reading your posts when you linked to them. :)

Oh and I think it's probably some random dickhead. It pretty much always is. Isn't it trolling season right now what with the school holidays and all the rain keeping them all indoors?

This holiday we are going to arrive with toothbrushes, underwear and a phone charger and we are not going to lose our luggage, leave the front door keys in Beijing or arrive on the wrong day 'cos I've got the packing list to end all packing lists and I'm sticking to it ... hopefully ... kind of ...

Last Olympic one from me I promise. But we were there yesterday, London 2012, absolutely incredible and we had front row seats by some way of enormous fortune!

[QueenMaeve]

You're probably right MmG. Thanks for that

New on the blog.....I'm experimenting with more ways to clean with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. If things make cleaning quicker, it's a winner in my book - and vinegar and bicarb are cheap, green and non-toxic too. Perfect!

Fridges, floors and showers....vinegar and bicarbonate of soda clean them all!!!

Getting back in the harness after a holiday often feels like getting slapped, very hard, across the face with real life.

American writer EB White once said, ?If the world were merely seductive that would be easy. If it were merely challenging that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and desire to enjoy it. This makes it hard to plan the day? lifeafterdebts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/real-life-revisted.html
