Today is world teachers day, so of course Blogtober’s prompt of the day is Education. I’m going to share the story of a special teacher, who made a massive difference to my life. Back when I was in year 4, (or 2nd year Juniors), I had a teacher called Mrs Roach. I’d had a lot…
Today is #NationalPoetryDay and the #Blogtober prompt is Ditty. I’ve written a few poems over the years, over on my other blog. The two which spring to mind are the ones I wrote when my parents passed away. I am no poet. I write for me, not for others. It was years before anybody saw the…
I don’t talk much about my hubby over here, but maybe it’s time I changed that. When better to start than today – national boyfriend day. (OK, OK… day 3 of Blogtober’s theme is Couples, so that may have twisted my arm, really)! I figured I’d talk about our first date, and the early part…
I am the proud owner of a pair of small boobs, and today I’m sharing how to check small boobs for cancer. Why, you ask? October is breast cancer awareness month, so the Blogtober prompt for day 2 is “boobs”. The word itself makes me laugh a little. Mostly with embarrassment. How to check small…

Autumn is my favourite season, and this year, I want to try to mix things up when it comes to Autumn Fashion. Usually, when buying clothes for myself, I tend to stick to skinny jeans, and t-shirts (long sleeved ones in Winter). Or I’ll wear leggings and a tunic if I want to make a bit…
Over the years, my husband has worked as a sole-trader (with or without a trading name). He has also formed limited companies. In each case there were reasons for choosing the route he did. Today he is sharing those reasons in this blog post. If you want to know more about setting up a limited…
If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I am a huge bookworm. I have always got a book on the go, and frequently read more than one in a week. I was recently asked to join in with the book tour for “A Lover Too Many” by Roy Lewis. I’ve read…
We have 2 boxer dogs, and a cat. All 3 of them have pet insurance, and we thought that meant we wouldn’t face huge scary bills if they ever got sick. We were wrong. Sneaky Pet Insurance Rules Monty – our male Boxer has always been on the small side. At his 1 year check,…
