Flo is so good at make-up but she’s been wanting to have her hair done professionally so that she can get an idea of how to do it herself […]
Package Holidays: Do I Still Need to Take Out Travel Insurance? Package holidays are back. And they could have COVID-19 to thank for their change in fortunes. Since the mid-2000s and the boom in independent travel booking, the proportion of holidaymakers booking package holidays has been in steady decline. In 2019, the figure stood at just 39%. But according to figures from UK travel agent association ABTA, holidaymakers may be having a change of heart about packages. 27% of people […]

It’s all about poo! What […]
Valentine’s Gifts To Make Your Heart Pitter Patter! It it commercial? Yes! Is it lovely to love though? Yes, yes, yes! While some don’t put much store into gifting loved ones for Valentine’s Day, I have to say, I rather go in for it. Both to offer my own love and, hopefully to receive a card (at least)!

While I hadn’t enjoyed being the plumper me it had […]
Do You Have A Wicked Uncle?! We all had those aunts and uncles who didn’t know what to buy us as kids. Through no faut of their own, generous as they were trying to be, we’d end up with gifts that were very definitely never going to be played with or used. I’m sure they tried very hard, as hard as we had to show glee on our faces when opening a hand bag (me aged 7) or a toy […]
