I’ve long had frustration with how our capitalist system works. Especially since having kids. Things get damn expensive. This post kind of focuses of the children/family angle, but will hopefully show how our society is driven to spend and we increasingly feel tied down because of what we feel we need to commit to.

I have no friends
Well, I do really have some. But if you would like to learn tips and tricks on how to connect with people on the internet (some people call it social media) then maybe you can come to a wee workshop I’ve conveniently called – I have no friends.
Magazine – Women of Influence in Software Testing
“13 of the World’s Top Women Testers Share Unique Insights Into the Profession” is the main feature of the STP magazine. I’ve been listed as one of them and wrote an article called “Use the Social Web to Build Your Career Brand”. You can download it for free (but you do have to register).
2009 & 2010
I don’t do new years resolutions and if I did I wouldn’t publish them online 2009 was a tough year.

Freedom…well almost!
Next week my boys start a new year at Lewes New School. I’m excited because it marks a big change for moi. My eldest is soon to be a whooping 6 years old. That means it has been around 6.5 years since I felt the loving yet physically difficult pregnancy that really changes everything. It’s [...]
