House Revolution Blog (Dev)

Happy New Year one and all !
I have a feeling its going to be a big one for House Revolution…I say feeling, I kind of mean ‘Plan’. Yes, I am a man with a plan and its a quite a cunning one really. It involves an awful lot of your help but I’m not going to say anymore at this stage. You will just have to wait

Now it feels good to have a plan, especially a new and really really good one like the one I have (the one I’m not going to tell you about just yet) … Continue Reading

If I said ‘touting’ what image would it conjure up? A shifty, dishonest person outside a concert venue peddling tickets? How about an estate agent knocking on the doors of home sellers trying to persuading them to ditch their chosen agent in favour of them?

Do you feel that life has become overly protective ? Everybody telling us what we ought to be doing and how we should behave – ‘Warning, this coffee might be hot’ or ‘Warning these peanuts contain nuts’, that sort of craziness.

Not sure why but i don’t seem to have any interest in my ramblings just yet. Not sure if its me being dull or Google not picking the blog up. What ever the reason I’m quite enjoying both the thinking and writing so I’ll carry on for now.

I was pacing around the house last night trying to switch of but thinking about work when my daughter asked if I would read her a bedtime story. She finally chose a suitable book (finally = how can i delay my bed time as long as possible having already played the ‘lost tooth brush’ game again. I know …I’ll spend 10 minutes finding a book for daddy to read) was ‘Horton hears a who’ by Dr Seuss
For those of you not in the know it’s all about Horton the Elephant and how he struggles to protect a microscopic community of … Continue Reading

Hi There, welcome to my first blog, not quite sure of the netiquette involved so apologise in advance for errors. Be sure to let me know if I’m doing it wrong.
So, why am i writing a blog, i clearly don’t the time. I’m crap on the key board, my spelling is terrible and, well i can be a little lazy at time and put things of to the last minute. Kind of like doing your whole summers home work on the last Sunday of the holidays…while songs of praise was on.. you get the idea!
Anyway, back to the question. Why … Continue Reading
