It's a good job that I didn't get as far as making New Year's resolutions this year. Top of the list would have been moving house. In theory, it should have been easy to achieve. Ours was already on the market and there was serious interest. We had made sure we had a portable mortgage when ...
You wait for ages then two turn up at once. That old adage about buses seems to accurately describe my life at the moment. Everything of note that has happened over the last week has been doubled.

I'm Tom Briggs. A proud dad of three and, somehow or other, a multi-award-winning parent blogger.
