I have been debating this for a while. I want a new phone. I need a new phone. I want a swanky one that I can get emails on (I have never had a fancy-pants phone before). The uber-generous SnugMan has offered to buy me an iphone4, so I was all geared up for the [...]

SnugBoy#1 has almost completed his first year at school, and is doing stupendously well. He is very settled and enjoying both his lessons and the more social side of his academic career.
