Mixing business and pleasure while keeping it real.
Starting a business twitter account has been quite an eye opener. I never actually tried to build a network on twitter, it frequently surprises me how many people are signed up to listen to my ramblings. So having to go out there and be interesting on purpose bewilders me slightly. I know what I like,…
Competing for Christmas.
Times are hard, as I’m sure most of you have already noticed. In the process of setting up a new business venture (feel free to take a look over at our wonderful website package and sign up or tell other people about it) we’re not rolling in spare cash at the moment. So I’m doing…
Top Dollar Mobile
Mobile phones, recycling, decluttering and making money. All topics you’ve read about here before. But not in all at one I don’t think. This is a sponsored post, but you might want to read on anyway, it might be useful to you. You may have noticed we like mobile phones in this household. But what…
Book giveaway round up #3
I have the best intentions to do this regularly, but somehow it rarely happens. However, I’m having another go. There’s a copy of Defiance up for grabs on realm of fiction. International, ends around Friday (rafflecopter, I can’t figure it out). The Cait Files has Unspoken, which sounds rather fun, and that’s open for 26…

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists – exclusive screening ticket giveaway.
We love Aardman. Adore them. I was absolutely thrilled to be invited to an exclusive screening in London next week, of the new Pirates film before its release on DVD. And not just a screening, oh no. There will be fun food, and best of all, a modelling workshop with Aardman Animation, where the kids…
Blog tour: Control Point by Myke Cole – Review, Q and A and giveaway!
I recently got the chance to read a new Military fantasy novel by Myke Cole and then join the blogtour for the book launch. I took the book away with me camping last week and read it in a field. My review? The negative points – I did find the military jargon interfered with the…
A week off. Oh, and the winner is…
I’m having a week off the internet. It’s a bit forced, in that we’re heading to a campsite without signal or wifi, but I’m sure it will be good for me. (Who am I kidding? We’ve not even left yet and I’m hyperventilating!) See you next week. Be good. (ps any posts that crop up…
The things I don't want my children to learn from their parents.
I don’t want my children to learn to hoard. I’d love for them to be organised and tidy people, not follow my example and live in a slightly tottery chaos. I’d like for them to buy what they need and not feel the need to surround themselves with stuff. I’d like for them to know…
King Lear in the Forest – review and giveaway.
Last night we had the excellent good fortune to attend the press evening of Red Rose Chain’s new Shakespeare production King Lear at Theatre in the Forest. We’ve seen them before at Rendlesham, doing Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s a play I love and I figured it was one of the best introductions to Shakespeare I…
