I know it seems like I always talk a lot about cakes. The reason why I probably do this is because they’re treats, it’s not something I have on a daily basis, or indeed a weekly basis. They’re just that, treats, although admittedly I do try to find an excuse to indulge myself. For the [...]
I tried to set-up an appointment for today which, for one reason or another, didn’t come to fruition. Initial communication was by email and he text me later on in the morning, which I really don’t like to do anyway unless you’re a client I’ve seen before but this chap was quite apologetic for not [...]
Well, I hope everybody’s plans are coming together for a wonderful Christmas and all you last-minute types got everything done. Me? Well, would you believe when I did the food shopping yesterday morning I had forgotten to get dinner for tonight, so when I came back from my outcall last night I made a quick [...]
How’s everybody’s christmas preparations coming along? Me? Well, it’s all been a bit last minute. For some reason I’m just not feeling it this year. I’m not sure why.

….and get a new laptop. Which I find hard to believe I had to do considering the previous one only lasted a couple of years. If you’ve been paying close attention you’ll remember I alluded to having laptop problems after I finally got my broadband connection sorted out. My keyboard and touchpad stopped working a [...]
Doing the shopping this morning, going all the way through the checkout, bagging my groceries, collecting my points, opening my wallet, only to find that I have the grand total of £5 in it. I realised to my embarrassment that I had left the shopping money at home. The cashier saved my trolley for me [...]
Except it wasn’t the bag, it was the bloomin’ wallet. I had forgotten I’d bought the wallet at the same time I bought my bag, but because the wallet was inside the bag I didn’t think it could be that. I was in my local shopping centre again this morning and sure enough, I was [...]
