Sometimes It's Prudent: December 2007
http://sometimesitsprudent.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Not too much. Not too little. Just enough. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Well, I'm not one. But how does it happen every Christmas, that we end up needing about 3x more money than we think we have? Even more amazing is the fact that we somehow magically end up with just enough cash to cover everything. This is why I still believe in Father Christmas - I can't think of any other explanation.

Sometimes It's Prudent: July 2007
http://sometimesitsprudent.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Not too much. Not too little. Just enough. Friday, July 20, 2007. Single parents to be forced back to work". There are some huge and silly assumptions in the title sentence, which I took from the thread about this news story. On one of the HE lists. The news story concerns the green paper published by DWP this week: In work, better off: next steps to full employment. Deadline: end of this month.). The government has been trying very hard to 'change hearts and minds' on the single parent issue. But I thin...

Sometimes It's Political: About Gaza
http://sometimesitspolitical.blogspot.com/2009/01/about-gaza.html
I moved the soapbox over here. Sunday, 4 January 2009. Have both blogged eloquently about this, and I've just watched America's only intelligent politician. Talking about it and other things. Well worth a look. I want to know what we can do, though? How do we stop these so-called 'pre-emptive' strikes, as Ron Paul describes them? It doesn't stop them. What will? I've read quite a bit about what's happening in Gaza and am as outraged as everyone else, but this post. Posted by Gill at 08:55. Mm well I don'...

http://sometimesitspreposterous.blogspot.com/2008/04/whats-going-on-here-then.html
This is rant corner. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. What's going on here then? Bit of snaily snogging? Edit: forgot to add this one. Same question, really, but different animal this time. Arriving at our home ed meeting today (in the LA education admin centre. We couldn't help noticing these mattress boxes in the carpark skip:. And are now all wondering . why? Posted by Gill at 6:54 PM. LOL, that's not very ranty, is it? Couldn't think where else to put it! Not enough blogs.). April 30, 2008 at 8:06 PM.

Sometimes It's Preposterous: "GILLIAN, don't hide from your free Experian credit report"
http://sometimesitspreposterous.blogspot.com/2008/03/gillian-dont-hide-from-your-free.html
This is rant corner. Thursday, March 13, 2008. GILLIAN, don't hide from your free Experian credit report". Says today's load of aggressive spam from this supposedly reputable company. For the record, I'm not hiding from it. I just don't want it any more since I found out they 'needed' my debit card details and a monthly payment setting up in order to give me this 'free' thing. I think I might spam them back. Posted by Gill at 11:36 AM. Thank you for your email, which we received on 14 March 2008. Subject...

Sometimes It's Personal: August 2007
http://sometimesitspersonal.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
This is just me, wittering on about me and some non-specific family-type stuff. Well, I've got to do it somewhere. Friday, 17 August 2007. It's a while since I've been blog-surfing but. I've found a new favourite:. Just what I needed to make me feel cheerful today (as well as a few other people - you know who you are! Posted by Gill at 19:59. Saturday, 11 August 2007. Beatrice Kilner, 1898 - 1982. This is my maternal great grandmother, Beatrice Kilner:. In the picture above, she's holding my Christmas pr...

Sometimes It's Preposterous: June 2008
http://sometimesitspreposterous.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
This is rant corner. Monday, June 16, 2008. I just want to have a very quick rant about the deliberate and cynical redefining of certain words in common usage, as I've been listening to the radio whilst working out in our field. And been feeling increasingly irritated by it. Is one that we've been hearing a lot this week, because people who are paid to be 'carers' are apparently undergoing the same fate as single parents. Work' doesn't mean work. Last but not least, poverty. So it doesn't matter what pol...
