Why do you blog?

I was thinking yesterday that I'd not blogged for a few days then thought back to how long ago I started this and why I carried on. I find it really useful to look back on things and see how I've moved on, can see the days when things were bad and realise that apart from money being incredibly tight we're doing well now on the whole.

I started my blog as somewhere for me to let off steam, my feelings about big things as well as day to day stuff. It's evolved to be somewhere I can keep a track of details about things as well and share day to day stuff with people I know and probably others that I don't.

So, fellow bloggers - why do you blog?

Today E has gone to my parents house with several bags and suitcases, 17 year old girls don't travel light, and after tea they're all setting off to deepest Crawley to stay with my sister for a couple of weeks. It's my lovely niece's Christening on Sunday so E is going so that at least one of us is there for them. We'd have loved to go too but it's S's birthday next Monday and we just can't afford it with us going camping next month.

This morning I nipped into town and bought the Christening present, a silver necklace with two stars and a chip of diamond. I can't find the same one online but it's called D is for Diamonds at:

That's was quickly wrapped before being added to one of E's many bags! So now there's just me and S at home until J gets in from work. R is at her other grandparents until tomorrow then it's just filling each day until next Monday. Wish it wasn't raining! Maybe the sunshine is saving itself until camping next month.
