I decided to start a blog, to track my knitting, my container gardening, my beer intake (hmmm) and my general day to day stuff and thoughts. Not sure how often I’ll blog or how long I’ll keep it up, I’m a notorious starter of grand schemes but rarely a finisher!
Why doodlywhatsits then? Well, it’s favourite word of mine. To be used, usually as a noun, whenever the right word just won’t come out of your mouth. For example “Pass me the doodlywhatsit please”. People usually know what I mean.
Who am I? I’m Jill, I work as a Financial Controller for a local company which sounds very grand but isn’t really. I’m mum to two teenage boys, the eldest of whom has just gone to York University studying Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. I’m divorced but have a lovely boyfriend, Patrick, who I’ve been seeing for 4 years now. We enjoy the same things, mainly food and drink!
Hobbies are knitting, which I take everywhere with me, reading or listening to audiobooks and podcasts, watching football – I’m a Hull City fan for my sins. I also enjoy Real Ale and Belgian ales, having been converted to beer by my previously mentioned wonderful boyfriend, as well as nice wines and good food.
If you’re still reading and having died of boredom yet, I just want to tell you about the website I bought my mobile phone from. I got a really good deal on my HTC Wildfire Android with 13 months free line rental but there are various deals and free gifts to choose from on every network and every package. My phone arrived next day and I honestly cannot recommend these people highly enough. If you are considering getting a new phone, please have a look at them, using this link Mobiles.co.uk or the one in the right hand side-bar. I get some commission for recommendations!
