I don’t drink a lot these days, barely anything. Occasionally a beer if we’re out for tea somewhere. My kids got me a couple of non alcoholic ones for Father’s Day because I’m just not that bothered about it anyone. I used to drink a LOT. I suppose that’s what university is for. If I …
It’s Mother’s Day this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend a lot of money on her to let her know you love her. Mums simply want to spend time with their kids. This is perhaps easier to do when children are younger and don’t have as much freedom to go out with …
There’s a lot of talk today about BritBox, a new streaming service fronted by a BBC and ITV partnership. I’m all for business & new competitors against the likes of Netflix will only lead to the best succeeding and better content for us, the viewers. As of yet we’re not sure what BritBox is going …
Sometimes we must push ourselves out of our comfort zone. Recently a potential client asked for training, rather than me doing the work for them. This is totally new to me but something I want to try as I’ve been asked on a number of occasions if this is something I offer. I took ages …
Wishing you all the very best for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Have a wonderful fun filled festive family time & make some awesome memories! Hope the big man visits tonight too! Ho-ho-ho!

I’m all for saving money & keeping waste out of landfill. I spotted this BBC News article about tip shops. Just one shop has sold 1 tonnes of stuff in one month (October) which otherwise would have ended up in landfill. The shop is in Wales & there are plans for others to be opened …
I’ve talked about this trick before, but if you start booking your holidays off work for 2019 now, you’re more likely to be the one who gets the most time away from your desk and make the most of your allocated holiday days. You can use only 8 days off to have a full 16 …
This is an odd one to me. Waitrose are trialing a new concept, one which has proven popular in other countries but I see loads of problems with. The delivery driver will deliver your shopping, but also enter your premises and put it all away for you. Madness. Essentially we’re all too busy to not …
With all this talk about Christmas, I encourage you to give something back to the community this festive season. From donating items to a foodbank, to volunteering your time with a charity, it’s a great time of year to give a gift from the heart. At our church we put together hampers for those in …
