What a day it has been… First up was the new Overhaul Bootcamp…the first session which saw us tested…how many push ups (on your toes not your knees) can you do without dropping in 2 minutes? Well…I honestly didn’t think it would be any…I haven’t done a proper push up yet as I’ve been doing … Continue reading »

In today’s modern world we are often quick to look for the simplest way to fix an issue…once it becomes an issue that we can no longer ignore… With research and development of medical treatment and pharmaceutical products, there seems to be a pill or machine to make everything better…or at least make it appear … Continue reading »

Organising events is something that I really enjoy doing. Deciding what to include to make sure those involved have fun is one of the parts I like most…coming up with activities that most people don’t do regularly or perhaps have never done before! This is my third year of volunteering as the Car Rally co-ordinator … Continue reading »

The Seven P’s are a well known mantra for successful people… I know it…yet for some reason there always seems to be more ‘last minute’ things to do than I expect when planning an event.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not a romantic person…but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the idea of romance and it also doesn’t mean I don’t like being spoiled! This year sees the fourth Valentine’s Day that David and I have spent together…and once again he put thought into how to … Continue reading »

Now yesterday I wrote that we would absolutely have to get the costumes finished by tonight…and I was right….but it turns out that making giant, stuffed felt popcorn pieces is more time consuming than I thought. Thankfully we make a great team, so with everyone doing their bit…we got it done.    I cut them out … Continue reading »

After a trip to Spotlight on the way home from work today to pick up this…. And some teamwork and inspiration at home…it became this… Not finished yet but not bad for an evenings work. We’ll definitely get them (yes, there are three of these) finished tomorrow night so they can be packed, ready for … Continue reading »
