Hobbying at times when theres no times for valentines!

I’ve recently taken up card making as a hobby. It all started rather by accident after I realised how much I was spending on greetings cards and other valentines day gifts. It was outrageous.  So I decided enough was enough and I bought a book on card making and bit by bit I started to […]

What a difference a day makes

There I was trying to get more done but could i get it done on Monday!

At a bit of a loss for words

My brother in law is looking for a new job having been made redundant recently. He’s in the insurance business and while he has a good wealth of experience behind him, I’m a bit perplexed as to why he’s looking at Speech-Language Pathologist Jobs! Doesn’t make any sense! Now, maybe I’ve misinterpreted what […]

My eyes are definitely bigger than my belly

My nephew had a birthday party last weekend. He’s crazy about football and his mom threw a football themed party. The kids had a blast. And the adults that were there had a blast too; we were treated to a wonderful spread of culinary delights including seriously delectable football strawberries. I’d had a big […]

Thirst quenching puff of smoke

My boss has a bit of a penchant for cigars. I wanted to buy something a little special for him this year as he’s retiring. Whilst researching different kinds of cigars I discovered Padron cigars and was really taken with their mission statement and their story. I’m not a smoker myself, never […]

They say eyes are the windows to the soul so maybe that’s why women are so concerned about doing everything they can to accentuate their eyes. There’s mascara, false eyelashes, eyelash enhancers, eyelash extensions and all sorts of other ways to enhance eyes. It’s amazing the difference that cosmetics can have on the […]

It’s all in the name

Is it just me or are name plates making a bit of a comeback? I’m considering getting personalised plates for my car and maybe even a name plate for my desk. And depending on who I get in the office party Secret Santa, I may even push the boat out and treat someone else […]

First class marketing, first class everything

We were at a seminar last week and instead of the usual rubbish marketing material that we get to bring home at the end of it, we were all given some really rather nice leather backpacks in which to put all the usual garb! The company holding the seminar went all out; the venue, […]

Oh the weather outside is frightful…

It’s that time of year again when we need to start digging out those snow chains. Is it just me or do the months seem to be flying by quicker? Or are the winters getting longer? Hard to know which it is. But I do think that the winters are getting harsher. […]
