Daily Snippet 15/02/18 – gone off sausages!
Rather weirdly of late, I’ve noticed I’ve gone off certain foods (nope, not pregnant, just for the record) and the thought of eating them, makes me feel nauseous. I’m not a big meat eater. I like a good steak every now and then, and enjoy a roast lamb lunch, but I can go without meat […]
READ MOREWhat I really want for Valentines Day…
It’s the 14th of February and around the world many people are celebrating Valentine’s Day. It’s a day of fun, joy, romance and love for some, and for others it can be a disapointing and painful day. For us, in reality it’s just another day. Both of us are working, and the children are home […]

READ MOREDaily Snippets 7/02/18 – I must not stay up all night binge watching Grey’s Anatomy…
I was a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan, and watched it from the start, enjoying each series as it came out. I will admit to thinking it got a bit stupid in places and having worked as a nurse in a couple of very busy hospitals, I can tell you that doctors, nurses and medical staff […]

Planning the details of special celebration for someone can be a lot of work and a fair bit of stress. When you are marking an event such as an anniversary or a big birthday, you want to make every aspect of it perfect and for the guest of honour and all their guests to enjoy […]
READ MOREPretty little things for Valentines Day, with Hunkenmoller
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and whilst I am a pragmatic and practical person, and I don’t particularly do romantic in a very overt way (the husband is the opposite, we balance each other out nicely) but I do like nice things, and I do appreciate a little spoiling on valentines day (although […]
