Living with Dyspraxia
Firstly, I didn’t know I was dyspraxic and mildly dyslexic until I was university, in my second year. It wasn’t a shock, it just made sense. I had to do my research about what it meant and means. The truth was I was 21 and fully functioning. I chose an Art degree because I am…

Setting Goals: Happy new year
I am not a fan on overpriced New Year’s Eve parties. I feel they are a waste of money and energy! You can enjoy the same evening on a normal Saturday night out!But I don’t mind a house party or a nice meal with friends. I have had some great New Years. Two Hogmanay’s in…

Christmas Panic Consumerism: None of it matters
It’s Friday 21st December Christmas Day is in 5 days. If you are working right up until Christmas you may not have as much time as you think.

An anniversary of sorts : for the love of October
So I have always loved autumn. There is something fairy-tale like about the leaves changing colour. With the hot summer we have just had the crisp cold weather is a much needed respite. A Brit moaning about the weather, what a surprise! The temperature dropping excites me. Jumpers, boots and hearty ( healthy) meals. Everything…

Is the wedding dress a waste of money?
The wedding dress dread continues with price tag. I am concerned that the wedding dress is the biggest waste of money. I just can’t get over the price tag! You are wearing a dress you wear once, once. So the idea of spending £2000 on a dress, it just baffles me. Some of you will…
