Taking one’s own advice – or not as the case may be…
This is a picture of me about to tuck into'The Slag Of All Snacks' This can mean only one of two things either; I'm pregnant (these were my cravings when I was on both occasions), or the author of 'The Simple Guide To Meal Planning' did not heed one's own advice. It's the latter. ...

My time-management skills leave a lot to be desired By attempting to post everyday it has made me realise that time runs away with me, particularly from 7pm onwards. Thursday is now my 10km run night, and by ...
