Making new friends: As part of my global takeover bid for all things parent and family related, I organised a meet up for website readers and their children. The parents came and sat down, the children vanished and were seen running around, climbing and having a good play while I was able to introduce myself to a few new faces, gain some feedback about the site and discuss some of my hopes for the future. I came away feeling that the day had gone pretty well and look forward to bringing more people together with another meet up at a location and at a date to be decided.

Not coming to a TV screen near you...
My house is spotless. Absolutely spotless. Even the PC, monitor, scanner and printer are fingerprint and smudge free. Border TV wanted to film me infront of a computer with screen shots of my ManxParents website. So the train set which has been residing on top of my desks was dismantled and packed away, the PC was brought back downstairs, scrubbed and put together in it's "usual" place. Darn shame then that for the purposes of Filming for ITV's "IT's For Life" they needed me to be sat infront of a TFT screen (due to screen flicker).

Once the interviews were over at Manxland and the play and eat session drew to an end I was whisked away to the presenters office to "surf" on one of their computers. Oh well, at least I can see my carpet now.
