THE LESS BORING BIT
Joanne lives in a creaky old house by the seaside in Brighton with her partner and two children, whilst coaching clients all over the world by telephone.

Her only hobby is spotting ridiculous things and awarding herself imaginary points. This week:
1. A man on stilts walking into a terraced house - 8 points
2. A lady pushing a pink dog-pram - (She had 3 dogs so they had to take turns). 4 points (points reduced as this lady has been spotted before). 1 bonus point as Joanne had to swerve her own pram (carrying a REAL HUMAN CHILD) out into the road so the dog-pram could pass.

UPDATE - JUNE 2008
Joanne has a new hobby - picking up red elastic bands the postmen leave behind. She's stringing them together and planning a really big game of french skipping.
