I have worked with computers as a web designer and developer for the last 5 years. I use a computer all day at work, and often for a few hours at night. Well I did until recently when I was struck with RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).

After visiting a doctor and then a physiotherapist it turns out that I was developing the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. It all started one night when the fingers in my right hand went number and had pins-and-needles. The numbness went away to leave a burning ache in my elbow and shoulder. It all passed within a day and I put it down to sitting badly at my home computer that night.

So after a long search of more than 2 years, Paul and I have finally bought a house!

It’s very exciting to finally own a house, even though the moving was not the most fun experience ever. It’s amazing how much space things take up when you move (we didn’t really have that much stuff) but still managed to fill a large removalists truck and still do a few trips ourselves.

But even though it was tough, we have now moved in… now to just unpack everything.

So there have not been many posts lately; between work, trying to buy a house and my MacBook becoming a paperweight there hasn’t really been much time for anything else.

Hi and welcome to my website / blog. I am Helen Johnson.

I have been working in the online industry since 2004 as a web designer and developer. On this site you can find out more about me or take a look at my portfolio of work.

On this blog I will be discussing my work as well as any ideas, tools or resources that I come across in my daily travels.
