I’m going to answer the above question here and now: NO. I could not live without the internet! I mean, obviously, my heart wouldn’t stop and I’d carry on breathing, but my life would be next to impossible without the internet. I work online through my blog and other remote writing jobs that I do. I do all of my banking online. I pay bills online. I shop online. I even pay for Sausage’s school …

Outdoor Living for Any Weather
Here in the UK, we all seem to love the idea of spending more time outdoors, but the reality is that our unpredictable weather doesn’t always allow it. Wanting to get outdoors and being able to (without the use of dry bags!) are two very different things when there’s a threat of rain or it’s just too chilly, but there are things that you can buy from Cox and Cox which mean that your gardens …
Eleventh Anniversary Gifts from F Hinds
This year, Husband and I will be celebrating our eleventh anniversary. We got married back in 2006, which seems like only yesterday but also a lifetime ago, all at the same time. We were engaged within six weeks of meeting and married within six months and had a LOT of doubters, expecting us not to last, so to be eleven years on and going strong I feel well within my rights to stick a big …

Shoring-Up Personal Financial Accountability
In addition to daily spending obligations, household budgets also accommodate “big picture” goals, such as home ownership and retirement. And while it may be relatively easy to track day to day outlays, plotting and planning for long-term financial success calls for another layer of management. Financial accountability within your personal budget ensures long-range goals are recognized, without leaving you vulnerable in the short term. And though each person faces unique financial conditions, some of the …

When it reaches this stage, it’s time to wage war on clutter. #1 – Get Organised Everybody hangs on to things ‘just in case’. It can reach the stage when …
What Are the REAL Essentials for Babies?
Burrito Baby is almost three and a half and will be starting nursery in September, so our baby days are well and truly over. Husband and I have made the decision that two kids is enough for us, so newborns aren’t something which will feature in our future, however I was recently speaking to a pregnant friend about how much simpler parenthood was the second time around because you don’t feel as pressured by all …

When you are talking “night out”, this is your opportunity. It is your opportunity to let loose and feel completely confident in your skin. A “night out” is going to be different from the normal. It is going to be exciting. You are intentionally getting ready to be unrestrained in some way, form or fashion. A “Night Out” Means Different Things Depending Upon the Company You Keep A night out with the girls is different …
In the Wake of Terrorism: Do We “Let Them Win” By Changing Our Plans?
It feels wrong to be writing about this less than a day after the horrible events in Manchester yesterday but it also feels wrong to let it go without saying a word. Apologies if anyone feels like the subject matter is too raw, but timings can’t always be perfect. Since the news broke about a suicide bomber at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, I’ve seen a lot of people reconsidering their own plans; one …
Sudocrem – Getting Kids to Play Outdoors
Hands up who’s relieved to have seen a little bit of nice weather this week? In a week full of terrible news and nasty political tactics, sometimes something as simple as feeling the sun on your face is enough to bolster your mood a little.
