What you can learn from “Desperate Housewives”

I’m not ashamed to say that years after “Desperate Housewives” has finished I am once again addicted! I started watching it again a few months ago only because there was no “easy watching” TV on. And, well… I’m now on season 6! The reason I’m telling you this is because last night I watched an…

Something That Will Always Stay With Me…

One of my most favourite things to do in my ‘down time’ is watch documentaries. I didn’t enjoy learning whilst at school but in adult life my mind has opened like a parachute and I enjoy nothing more than curling up on the sofa, putting my phone on silent and allowing myself to be absorbed…

Chasing Two Rabbits At Once…

  Have you ever heard the saying… “If you chase two rabbits at once, you will catch neither”?   Well it’s based on the principle that if you try and do two things at the same time, you will not succeed in doing either of them…   Of course this isn’t 100% true with EVERYTHING……

Surviving An Attack From A Wild Animal!

The other day I was at home having a rare quiet evening in to myself and I was flicking through the films on Netflix. Now you know when you don’t know what type movie you want to watch but everything on offer seems to be rubbish… That’s was how I was feeling. Comedy… No! Action……

Success for James

So there I was at 4:00pm sat in my silent empty classroom, 30 minutes after the infamous ‘end of school’ bell had rung and 100’s of children raced for their freedom outside of the school gates. I was sat there racking my brain on how I was going to get James to “enjoy “ story…

There’s No Day Like a Snow Day!

  So currently in the UK many of our streets have been dusted with a sheet of perfectly white snow. Our roofs, cars and streets are coated. And unless you’ve attempted to commute to work this means only one thing…. Snow Day! Now snow days, for anyone unfamiliar with this term, is how we describe…

New Year, New Start!

  So like millions of other women (I expect) I’ve decided 2015 will be the year of regular exercise and healthy eating. No more over indulging. More greens. Less takeaways. New year, new me! All that jazz. And so far mid way through January I’ve been able to stay away from all things cake related…
