Random Things I Recommend

I would say that one of my hobbies right now is maintaining as close to my ideal standard of life as possible while spending as little money as possible. With 2 of us self-employed in the house, income can sometimes be, shall we say, a little unreliable. We do ok, but considering my “ideal standard

October Favourites

Can you believe it’s October already? I read somewhere the other day that time your perception of time moves proportionally quicker as you get older. You know how when you were a kid a year was FOREVER, but now it’s gone in a flash. We all pretty much know that, right? But the scary thing

August Favourites

Hi there, how is August treating you? I’m liking it a lot better than July so far, mostly because it’s been cooler. But enough about me, lets move on.  This month I’ve been sent a few nice things to try, and I’ve also splashed out on some nice things myself, so, today is my monthly round-up

April Favourites

Somehow it is May already, and I have spent much of the last few weeks trying to catch up with a load of stuff that I didn’t do when I was feeling really ill earlier this year. Which means sending lots of emails that say “Hey sorry for not replying to this in February, that’s

March Favourites

Hi there! I hope regular readers will forgive the relative quietness around here recently. 2018 hasn’t started off in the best way health-wise, and I’ve been keeping up with the essentials, and not much else. I shan’t bore you with the details. Not in THIS post anyway. If you’re not a regular reader and you

You Inspire Me

Did you know you’re an inspiration? Because you probably are. I’ve had a few conversations over the last week that have made me realise how damn important it is to get out there and do what you love doing, and not to hide away until you feel you’re somehow worthy. Last week for Sport Relief
