A lifestyle blog
Random, as it suggests!
When I got the first one it was going to be the only one. I didn’t really have a desire to cover my body in ink, just a wish to remember two friends in some way. To remind myself that life is for living and that tomorrow you could be on holiday and die in a horrific freak of nature called a tsunami. That is what had happened to our
What do you weigh? No not in kgs. But as a person, if you added up your worth, what would you weigh? Hang on, let me explain. There’s been a definite shift recently in being body positive online. Hell I should know, I have even done it myself over the past few weeks. Posting far more selfies in a fortnight than I have in the past eight years combined.
You are most interested in the seagull poo, aren’t you? I have to be honest and say it isn’t the highlight of my year driving a convertible (as you would expect) especially as I was 100 miles from home and en route to a funeral. But I had to just sit there, laugh, and take it on the chin. Or right shoulder to be more accurate. The perils of being
Thank you for being my friend, Kate. Thank you for being a friend Traveled down a road and back again Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant Thank you Kate for being my friend. For being a little ray of sunshine in my inbox or direct messages. For travelling down many roads and back again. Your heart was indeed true, you will always be a pal and
Press releases land in my inbox all the time. Several times a day in fact. Some get instantly deleted as they just aren’t relevant. Some I keep for future reference, and some…. well some make me do a little scream out loud. The latest one that had me doing that was the one I received on Friday announcing the launch of Shop Disney, a new online one
This is another regular blog feature that got binned because I thought regular ranting might not be good for my blood pressure. But I have missed getting stuff off my chest so have decided to bring the feature back, though I can’t promise it will be every week. In fact this one has been in my “I really must blog about that because it is RIDICULOUS” pile for a month.
I wasn’t sure what to call this post that wasn’t a long waffly one but this is the last post from me that will land in your inbox because I am turning email notifications off. Not my last ever post (don’t be ridiculous) but I won’t be sending them out automatically and landing in your inbox anymore. For all sorts of reasons I have decided the time has come for
Custom Star Maps I had no idea what to get my daughter Caity, and her new husband Dan as a wedding present. They had been living together for a couple of years and had most of the things you would expect to buy for a newly wed. Then I was asked if I wanted to review a custom star maps and you could say that the “stars aligned” (did
There are lots of reasons to love the Warner Bros studio Harry Potter tour. Many. But one of them has got to be how it is constantly changing. Yes the major attractions will always be there: The Great Hall / a model of Hogwarts / the wand room but along side those there are ever changing exhibitions that focus on a part of the films. The Goblet of Fire was
Top Tips for being Mother of the Bride Have a daughter Wait for her to get engaged Until earlier this year I thought that was pretty much it but since Caity has started planning her wedding in earnest over the past six months I have had more of an insight into what the role of Mother of the Bride actually entails. Or doesn’t. The temptation is to get heavily involved
This weekend was my future son in law’s stag do, and next weekend is my daughter’s hen do which means one thing: their wedding is imminent. This time next month in fact. They have been engaged for almost two years and saving hard from the minute the ring hit Caity’s finger at the Trevi fountain in Rome. All the plans are in place now (except for bridesmaid’s dresses, don’t mention
I was recently tagged by Nickie at I Am Typecast in an old school, this is me post. Not so much because Nickie wanted to tell us more about herself, but more because she wanted to participate in a blog post meme like we all used to do when we first started out on our blogging journey. When not every post was sponsored or a review (which I am
