    This morning, before I came to work (and by that I mean went for Physio and then turned on my laptop), Sian asked me to pass a tissue. But whenever Isaac hears the word tissue he automatically wipes his nose on whatever he can find. The sofa, the floor, Anna, whatever really. So Sian did [...]

    Mmmmm. I agree with a lot of what I say too… I think it’ll just be my mobile switched off. You can always get me on the landline. Unless we’re out. Which we probably will be. But people used to manage without mobiles didn’t they so we should be ok. Also – I’m not sure [...]

    Ok. Here is something I’ve been thinking recently. Mainly because Sian thinks I’m addicted to my iPhone. I probably am. I check my Twitter far too much. I locked my Facebook App the other day so haven’t been on that for nearly 48 hours. It hurts. But also I noticed the other day that I [...]

    ThumbnailHello all. First – sorry this is so late – I kept meaning to write this but then thinking “I’ll get more time later” and then never actually got round to it… I would say the wait will be worth it but to be honest things have been crazy busy and I haven’t really given it [...]

    Evening all. I’m cutting it a bit fine bit fine on this one but have just checked and it doesn’t look as if I will be last. Ok then. Super power. Tricky one. So many to choose from. Seriously – there are loads. The Official Superhero Database lists over 100 super powers. So I’ve decided to [...]

    Ha ha – yeah – it’s a way of tracking back from one place to another… an automatic way of knowing when people link to you or reference you or similar.

    It happens automagically but I coded this theme and don’t remember putting anything about trackbacks in!

    Mister Mush has joined in too – and I think that is my first ever trackback on the site. I didn’t even know trackbacks worked…

    Mr. Bump is my favourite. I don’t really know many of the Mr. Men, but I do remember making a plaster model of Mr. Bump when I was a child. You had a red rubbery mould that your poured the mixture into. Once it was set you’d get to paint it. Awesome. That’s probably an [...]

    I was going to say that my favourite thing about the Mr Men was that they all wore brogues but I see from the picture of Mr Happy above that he is now sporting a more casual look. I hope this is just because the particular picture above has captured him on the way home [...]

    That’s right – it’s back. What do you mean “What’s Back?”?* It’s not been gone that long and back in the day it was, apart from Adam Perrott’s Vlog , the centre of the blogging universe. That’s right, it’s the blogenge. “Yay,” I hear you cry.** And I can’t think of a better way to start off [...]

    Yeah – also – it’s called “Home birth” – does it have to actually be at home or could she have had the baby at the church?

    The wedding was excellent.

    But John’s speech was too good so I did any impression of Smithie off Gavin and Stacey.

    So, how did it go down? Hope it was well received. One of ‘my ladies’ was meant to be at a wedding on Saturday. Her husband was going to be best man, it was his brother’s wedding. They missed it but possibly had the best excuse ever – she gave birth 11 minutes before the [...]

    Ha – not quite enough for me to quit my job :)

    I reluctantly use layer groups… using them still makes me feel too responsible and dull…

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post PS – I Love You   5 months ago · View

    I keep offering to pay you!

    Also… Glad you’ve learned the value of layer groups!

    About time.

    Hi Sue,

    Yes – that Pixels short was fantastic wasn’t it! And yes, I would love to do this a living, but unfortunately no-one will pay me ;)

    ThumbnailHey hey folks, First off – many apologies for my continued absence from the blogosphere. I will try to blog more often in the future, but I’ve been pretty darn busy. Most of my busyness (yes – it is a real word and yes it is spelt correctly) has been design related – a lot of you [...]

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post Officially the Best Man   5 months ago · View

    Hmmm.

    I’ll be honest… “I suppose it would do” isn’t quite the reaction I was going for.

  • Andy Hoyland wrote a new blog post: Officially the Best Man   5 months ago · View

    Howdy again. I just wanted to mention another great day in the lives of Hoylands that is coming up this Saturday – Jack and Nats are getting married (Susie – Did you know about the wedding? Jack sent a text round…) While I am very excited and looking forward to the day very much I [...]

    Didn’t you get the text?

    Sorry.

  • Susie commented on the blog post Anna Begins   5 months, 1 week ago · View

    This is cool. Yesterday I was driving back from Suffolk with my friend Izzy. As is customary on long journeys we did all that favourite song, films etc stuff. I played her Anna Begins on my iPod and said it was definitely one of my all time favourite songs, and she said how very apt [...]
