It's Friday Guys - time for No Waste Tastes Great. There is a video of this week's Friday fridge. However after waiting about an hour for it to upload to YouTube I have given up. I actually hadn't planned on videoing my fridge this week, but it seemed easier than explaining through words. The sound of my washing machine in the background proves I hadn't ...
How To Win A Minion / Focus 2014
I know how to win a minion. Not a million, but a minion. We frequently holiday at traditional British seaside towns. As someone who believes in developing traditions and creating memories for the Kids, each holiday typically includes a brief visit to an amusement arcade. This last holiday to Norfolk was no exception. This post isn't a debate on the ...
Food Waste Friday / Birthday Leftovers
Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born. I started participating in October ...
No Waste Tastes Great / Taking A Holiday
We've been back a few days from our tour of the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. I'd like to say I'm back on track - but that wouldn't be true. This morning, for example, I haven't been able to follow my usual Friday routine. There was a school trip which I had volunteered to help with. I am so behind that I never found time to reply to last weeks Food waste ...

Remembering To Consciously Spend
Last weeks theme was all about being in the present. It was about remembering to be mindful, and even delved into videoing my fridge. It was about paying attention, and being in the moment. Another area of my life, where I pay attention, is with finances. We're talking money. In particular spending money. Now seemed a good time to publish a repeat of a ...
No Waste Tastes Great / Watching What I Eat
It's Friday Guys - time for No Waste Tastes Great, This post probably isn't going where you think it is from the title. We're not going to be talking dieting. No way Jose. But there is a slight double meaning in the title - as it will be the first time I have uploaded a video of my fridge - so you can 'watch'. (Fridge Vlogs, how will I top that going ...
Remembering To Be Mindful
I grew up watching Ruby Wax on UK television. If my, now fading, memory serves me correctly, there was one show I particularly enjoyed, where Ruby went out and about meeting people. And that's as much as I can remember about the detail. In my defence we are going back a couple of decades. What I do remember is she was funny. I have always found Ruby Wax ...

Make Decluttering A Daily Habit
Frequently experts advise the way to achieve your goals is to work toward them daily. I'm someone who rebelled against routine for many years, believing myself to be a free spirit, ready to go wherever the wind blows. Rather than a creature of habit - a creative creature of dreams and wishful thinking. All of my spare time during my early 20's was spent ...
