About once every 6 months or so for the last 18 years one or both of my girls have asked if we can get a pet. It used to be Guinea pig's or hamsters and over the last 5 years or so they have asked for a cat and most recently a dog. Becky has been scared of dogs since she was about 3 years old so the thought of getting one has never been a thing but a few weeks ago Becky ended up dog-sitting for ..read more

Sunday again! This past week has flown over, it doesn't seem that long since I did my last Project 365 post. We have had a good week. Ellie has been off college for her Easter break, I did have to check when she went back and I'm glad I did as she has Monday off as an extra day. What a treat as it's Stu's day off work and after Becky sleeps off a night shift it means we can do something as a ..read more

 A little while ago I saw a post from Jennifer over at Jennifer's Little World about the things that she collects but doesn't need. Those sort of things that we just can't help collecting and keeping and it got me thinking about those things too.These are the things that I collect which I don't really need.Wires and Cables.Every time we throw away anything electrical and it has a spare wire ..read more

I am not massively into make up and hair products and did think about skipping this month's Share Our Lives link up. It's not because I don't use make up and hair products but because mine are pretty basic and I don't spend a lot on them! There's nothing fancy here!Dry shampoo!I am not fussed about the brand but I do like to have some in the house for those days between washes when my hair needs ..read more

Happy Sunday! I hope you all have a nice relaxed day! We don't have much on today, I did all the housework and gardening yesterday so I think today will be mostly sat, complaining about my achy back while catching up on the first night of Wrestlemania 40! We have had a good week with Stu being on holiday from work and Ellie off college, we have indulged ourselves with lots of yummy food and ..read more

This week my Word of the Week is:When I was thinking of a word to use I couldn't decide whether to us indulged or overindulged. We have done everything to an excess this week so I think overindulged is the way to go.Stu has had a week off from work and Ellie has been off college for her Easter break which has meant we have had a lot of family time. Stu especially needed the break after having ..read more
