Starting at the bottom and working my way up

Graduate placements aren’t as easy to come by these days. At a recent staff meeting we decided that we would attend a recruitment fare and see what we could offer to the up and coming students ready to leave high school. Lots of the students we met with showed a huge desire to get […]

The evolution of style

Isn’t it incredible how the style of prom dresses changes over the years? When I had my prom many moons ago, the style was somewhat ‘big is beautiful’. Nowadays it’s a case of less is more and the style is a lot more classic and elegant. But aside from formal wear, what is with […]

Ready, steady, go extreme

I love the outdoor life and have recently made a purchase to help make it easier for me to enjoy my outdoor pursuits. The latest purchase is a yakima bike rack so that I can bring my bike safely and securely with me when I’m heading off to my extreme destinations or if I’m […]

It’s not the winning, it’s the taking part that counts!

I’ve had a carb filled day so my lower ab workout this evening will need to be extra tough. Carbs are my biggest weakness. But I’m trying to turn negatives into positives. We had a really successful team meeting today and before we knew it, it was time for lunch so we all […]

Helping the needy do the needful

A friend of mine has started to use the diet pill phentermine but it seems there are lots of scams out there relating to this drug. I decided to checking out some phentermine reviews from people actually using the product. My friend is a bit naïve with this sort of thing and I’d […]

Sometimes less is more

I’ve often wondered if there are any diet pills that really work. Then I joined a weight loss programme at work and several people recommended the same diet pill and told me how much weight they’d lost using it. Normally I’m a sceptic about these kinds of things but listening to several independent […]

Last laugh on me but the joke is wearing thin

I regularly buy a men’s health magazine. In this month’s edition there was an article that intrigued me. It was about natural male enhancement. Thankfully I have no need for such treatment but I got caught reading the article in the canteen and now I’m the talk of the office for all […]

Not quite keeping it in the family

Flicking through a magazine earlier today I read an article about the top 5 colon cleansers and which products actually work. I’ve always been curious about them but couldn’t see myself actually going for one. Maybe I’ll mention it to my physician at my next full health check and find out more about […]

Hello? Is it me you’re looking for?

Coming home this evening I found a blackberry smartphone. I called the last number dialled in the hope of reuniting the owner with their phone but the last number that was phoned was a wrong number so that was hardly any help! Bizarrely there were no numbers stored on the phone. My imagination […]

Stepping up to the challenge

Shopping wouldn’t be one of my strongest attributes – just ask anyone I buy presents for! A voucher is about as good as it gets from me. But I recently visited one of those shopping outlet malls and discovered that I can actually enjoy shopping in the right environment. And bargains help! […]
