Work may well be a four letter word, but right now it’s one I’m happy to be using again. I’ve been working from home for the last two months (minus some holiday time) and the much needed time off has worked wonders for me. But now that the book publishing project is finished bar promotion, [...]
It’s 12 of 12 time once again, and after five years you really don’t need me to tell you it’s 12 photos on the 12th of each month to represent your day do you? Of course not, nor that Chad Darnell is the creator of the original (and best) version of this global challenge. Before [...]
This is a compendium of several posts that charted the start of my journey with Diet Chef. Rather than make readers click through several different posts I’ve collated all the info into the one place to, for want of a better word, digest. Once upon a Snickers ago I used to be extremely…chunky. Alright chunky [...]
I survived my first week of homeworking without doing any of the following: Going mad Playing games all day Eating enough to go up a jeans size Procrastinating for eight hours a day Buying an iMac So all things considered, pretty good. Homeworking is a slightly odd experience, and I’m sure anyone who does it [...]
I’m on another one of my life laundry/declutter your existence rambles today. Since taking a step off the seemingly never ending treadmill of day to day living for a short while everything has seemed so…so….quiet. You know what it is like sometimes, one hundred and one thoughts racing through your mind and barely enough time [...]
I feel a little bit like a mouse running around in a wheel inside a cage at the moment, the subject of some great experiment. The experiment would be titled something like “Give Someone Who Never Has Time All The Time In The World”. As I have previously mentioned, I have just parted company with [...]
Sometimes writing blog posts is easy, I just sit down in front of the WordPress editor and I’m away. Other times (like now) it is a painful process that could only be made more unpleasant by being presented with a large bill at the end whether I’ve written something or not. Perhaps it could be [...]
Thanks to the excessively cold temperatures this past week we went without any post until yesterday when this bumper crop arrived. To be honest I’m amazed it all came at once Planet Terror and Crank 2 were from the Play.com sale (£9.99 each, the only non-digital sale items I bought this..no wait..last year) and Bayonetta [...]
All of my friends around the world who are used to dealing with snow and ice regularly are more than welcome to point, laugh, giggle and perhaps even guffaw right now. Yes, England isn’t particularly good when it comes to handling snow. Winter tyres on cars? Nope because we roughly seem to get two or [...]
I’m a big fan of what is usually referred to as “life laundry” which essentially means “get rid of all the junk you don’t want/need/have any further use for”. Which when done correctly means I end up with a tidier house/mind, a happier spouse and a feeling of inner goodness for donating a load of [...]
