Closing Out The Year
Posted: Mon 31 December, 2012 Filed under: 2012/13, D4D™, Domestic Leave a comment »Today proved to be a day for getting things done that I hadn’t got round to doing for a while. The full list is ineffably dull (as these things usually are) so I won’t bother with the full thing. Suffice it to say, it’s been a pretty productive day.
The real key thing though is that I’m now registered with the local GP – I don’t need to be, per se, but well, I figure it’s better to be registered than not.
As longer-term readers of D4D™ know, I bloody hate GPs in general, but still, it’s better to be with a local one, rather than the one in Suffolk I was registered at.
Anyway, all told it’s a decent way to close off 2012, getting a few things off the list of stuff that needed doing.
Apostrophes

Maybe if it were taught like this in schools, people would remember it better.

What a Year
Posted: Mon 24 December, 2012 Filed under: 2011/12, D4D™, Domestic, Five Year Plan (now Ten), Thoughts Leave a comment »It really has been quite a year.
In the last twelve months, I’ve…
- Moved house. Twice.
- Changed jobs. Twice. (And also gone from Contractor to Permanent Employee)
- Declared Bankruptcy
- Started rebuilding everything
There’s been a fair amount of other stuff going on as well – not least, a constantly increasing workload – but they’ve been the main events.
This time last year, I had eased off D4D a lot – there was only one post in December, for example – but that’s slowly coming back. It’s not back to the old glories yet – maybe in 2013, who knows – but things are definitely on the way back up.

Yep, 12:12:12 on 12/12/12
I am *so* infantile.
Greying

What the hell is it with hairs growing on ears? It never used to happen – why has it started to as I get older?
