305 365 Hello baby xxx

  • I wouldn’t have met MrSpud. Thank you internet dating and the cringemakingly named www.woohoo.com
  • I wouldn’t have met my best friend
  • I wouldn’t have had the best EVER  support network during pregnancy, birth, the baby days and beyond. The PP ladies…you know who you are xx
  • I wouldn’t have got back in touch with so many friends from childhood, schooldays, uni days and beyond
  • I wouldn’t have patched up a dear friendship recently, trashed many years ago but now alive and well
  • I wouldn’t be in touch with so many of my mother’s former pupils to reminisce about the old days and hear their memories of her (thank you Facebook)
  • I wouldn’t have landed a big account for a former employer (thank you LinkedIn)
  • I wouldn’t have made so many brilliant new local friends (thank you Twitter)
  • I wouldn’t have hooked up someone looking for a job with someone looking for an employee (thank you Twitter again)
  • I wouldn’t have got in to photography (thank you Flickr)
  • I wouldn’t have read blogs, started a blog and met so many fascinating people
  • I wouldn’t have laughed so hard I spat tea at my screen (thanks to all the funny and witty people out there)
  • I wouldn’t have written a book
  • I wouldn’t be nearly so well informed as I am. The jury is out as to whether that’s a good thing or not.
  • I wouldn’t be nearly so time starved
  • I would be a lot more lonely

    the internet can be such a blessing! when people see it as such a negative thing, i often think: yes, you can use a car to run over people. but that’s not exactly what it’s there for. you might as well go lovely places with it. no?

    happy weekend!

    Truth that + I wouldn’t have access to so many of the questions I have at such quick notice – day or night.

    You wouldn’t be consistently touting tent carpetry around the interwebs ;)

    Brilliantly put – was having a ponder on this in the bath the other day and realised that without the internet life would have been very different

    For me the likes of Twitter and blogging mean I am far less isolated than I otherwise would be
