Random, as it suggests!
And in the grand scheme of things five miles might not sound a lot. Eddie Izzard for instance ran ten times that in a day this week, having run 25 marathons over the previous twenty five days. The man is a machine. A hero. A legend. Which really makes our 5 miles nothing in comparison. But for me it was quite the challenge. Let’s face
the anatomy of a desk The joy of working from home is you can work from anywhere. Bed. The garden. The local coffee shop when you get bored. The kitchen table. The corner of the dining room. Or a room you call your office. You might not even have a desk to work on, I know that I am very lucky to have one that is just mine,
Seeing there was an exhibition of watercolours from a local artist on display there made Mr B pick the Aldershot Military Museum as our destination for this week’s Saturday afternoon mooch. To say it was an exhibition was a bit of stretch since there were only about ten pictures but it was lovely to see 19th century paintings from the local area that we are now going to investigate
Cavities, gum disease, stained teeth and other more serious dental problems are all something that most of us want to avoid. But in order to avoid these issues, it’s vital to have a good oral hygiene routine in place. Taking good care of your teeth doesn’t only improve their appearance, it also helps to minimize your risk of issues such as gum disease, plaque, cavities, abscesses and even losing teeth.
It’s today, International Women’s Day 2016. I am sure there will be lots of campaigning going on today. As there should be of course, possibly some of it being about gender equality. As is right. I guess. I don’t actually want to be equal to men if I am honest. I like that Mr B holds doors open for me, that he lets me get into a
That pic up there is our patio. Was our patio. Last year I was picked to be one of Karcher‘s “Super Bloggers” (I think my name must have been included on the list in some kind of clerical error) and throughout the year we were the lucky recipients of five different cleaning machines. Everything from the hand held window vac to the beast that is the patio cleaner. Fast
I seem to spend my morning school runs discussing driving safety tips with my youngest who does her theory test next week. How that is even possible when I am still only 27 I really don’t know. What I would like to scream is “You are never driving on your own in the winter. Or after 5pm. Or in fact in the summer” but I know that
That should be the tag line of my blog: “Keeping it real” not the, “I am not a sodding potato” line it currently is (due to the fact people think my avatar shows a potato and not the duck that it is). Over the past few months I have found more and more that everything in the social media world is stylised, beautiful, perfectly lit or just pretty. Don’t
. Well actually it isn’t really a resolution, it is more of a switch I guess. You see the new year is full of “New Year, New You” type slogans and messages in the media but i don’t want to resolve to make a new me. I quite like the current me. What I want to do is make a better me. I want to just make
Yay. Congratulations, you are moving house. It is all very exciting. You have found the house you want to buy and you have found a buyer for yours. All is good. Until somebody pulls out and the chain collapses. How often have we heard this? Time and time again a chain collapses and dream houses are lost. So I thought I would share with you my top tips
. Desperate. That is how I would describe Da’ed and Manar’s lives now. The two sisters living in a basement flat with not only bars at the window but also boards up so they can’t see out. Presumably also so people cannot see in. Maybe it is the lack of natural light in this room that makes me feel their situation is desperate, I don’t know.
“You all packed?” “Hell no, I have to go to the tip yet, take down the Christmas lights, phone the dishwasher repair man, take two chinchillas to the vet, clean out the fridge, get my car cleaned, do a food shop, Hoover the spare bedroom, write 16 over due reviews, drop something off to my granny, book the kennels for the dog in the summer and tidy away a pile
