Will disputes: How does one cope?

Losing a loved one can be very difficult. Besides the emotional upheaval there are so many things to worry about like the funeral arrangements. I think that this is such a busy time that you seem to just be going through the motions. It is only after the funeral that one really starts to mourn as it is here that one says their final goodbye. After the death of a loved one, one has to be practical and then there are the more difficult things to take care of – the selling of the estate and of course –  the …

Would you like flawless Sk:n?

At my age, and if you want to find this out you may need to be following my blog more, one begins to worry about fine lines appearing. And no, I do not have wrinkles!! However, my skin is definitely not what it used to be 20 years ago and when I look at old photographs, I do envy the young me in them. My skin, if I may say so myself, was flawless and I never required any foundation or make up to make it glow. My face was my fortune –so to speak! I may have been famous …

Relived: Visits to a few amazing cities in the world

I love going on holiday and have been lucky enough to visit quite a few places before I had children. I love sightseeing and can walk for hours taking in the sights. I like going on long holidays but with a family this can be really expensive.  I love visiting different cities as I find that there is so much to do there. All cities have great sightseeing, shopping and food and night life. I also like the fact that city breaks can be short and you do not really need long vacations. It is nice to be able to …

Test Driving and Finding the Perfect Car

When we had 2 children, we were quite happy with our saloon car that managed to fit in two car seats quite easily and when we occasionally had to ferry someone else, I happily managed to fit between the two seats as Jadyn needed just the booster. With the arrival of A, we found that it was a bit of tight squeeze in the back of the car as we had a rear facing car seat for her and a Group 1-2-3 for E, who was almost 3 then. J was also younger and so she managed to fit in …

Health and Safety and Accidents at Work

Do you often wonder why so many office workers are out and about during the day sharing a coffee or taking a break from work? It is just them ensuring they are sticking to health and safety regulations. And no – that does not mean taking a break that is longer than a period of work! A tired worker is no help to the organization or to himself and can jeopardize himself and the organization especially if dealing with machinery and equipment. It is for this reason that the Health and Safety at Work Act was passed in 1974. Most …

Gifts for any Occasion from Best Gift Company

It’s September and we’ve all got back to school, school runs, lunch box ideas, uniforms and homework. Before we know it, it will be half term and then – my favourite time of the year: Christmas. I am like a child and love Christmas. And like a child I love getting presents. (well, who doesn’t anyway?) Surprises, packed in wrapping paper and tied with a ribbon. Gifts big or small. And as much as I like receiving gifts, I love giving gifts too. It’s a special feeling to search for the perfect gift and see a smile on someone’s face …

Krazy lunchtime with Warburtons

Lunchtime is always quick in our home as our main meal is dinner when we all eat together when Hubs is home.  During the holidays, the children are constantly hungry and by the time it is lunchtime they are quite bored as I am slowly running out of new ideas to keep them entertained. To liven up lunchtime, Warburtons have brought “Krazy” into the kitchen and launched a game show on their Facebook page. Two families the Griffiths and the McDermotts go head to head to compete in crazy challenges while the kitchen goes “Krazy” around them. The first three …
