Rainy days and Mondays always bring me down

We’ve had a great time with the kids so far, Friday was all about the Easter egg cake and yesterday we actually made it to the beach for a picnic but it was hit and miss with the weather so we didn’t stay too long. Movie night was a blast with homemade popcorn, hotdogs &…

I’m a BAD Diabetic!!

  I’ve just read this article in the Spectator from a Doctor who has stated that he would rather have HIV than diabetes and it got me thinking. For years I was worried that I might have contracted HIV – it was the worst possible fate I could think of as a young adult in the…

There was a real party atmosphere in town and we spent the night celebrating it being Friday and…

My blue cheese spiked Waldorf salad

I’ve had a hankering for Waldorf salad for a week now. I don’t know where it’s come from but I reckon as a lunchtime meal it’s a much better alternative, for me, to sarnies but it a little more filling than a plain old salad. But as usual I want more!! and in order to elevate…

This week something Flabulous happened

This week saw something very different happen. Someone must have had the bright idea but it has spread like wildfire and already spawned many imitations including the one below, but to be honest I don’t care how it started or how many times it’s imitated as, in a world of awful news this is something…
