More and more employers these days are offering their employees the chance to join the 'Bike to Work' scheme - mine included. I'm a huge fan of the scheme and have a bike that I paid for using it so today, I thought I'd tell you all you need to know about the scheme. I bought a second hand bike a few years ago after I realised how much I enjoyed riding my exercise bike but I was so disappointed after my first couple of rides because I felt like it was ridiculously hard work just riding around the block so I relegated the bike to the back of the garage and went back to my exercise … [Read more...]

Why sleep is so important to me right now (and how I make sure I get it)….
This year has been a hard year.I started to feel ill between Christmas and New Year and by New Years Eve, I was on the phone to the Doctors because I was so poorly with a chest infection. They gave me some tablets and I started to feel a little better by the middle of January with just a niggling cough that wouldn't go away. Fast forward a month and I started to feel worse again with the cough getting so severe that the Doctor I saw described it in his notes as being 'severe and violent'.I got worse and the cough was making me sick several times a day and definitely stopping me … [Read more...]
How to make a Mason Jar Salad….
The first title I gave this post was 'How a mason jar salad is going to change your life' but I thought you might think I was exaggerating a bit so I toned it down a bit but actually I still stand by my first one. Honestly, if your days are as busy as mine and you want to have quick, tasty and healthy meals for your lunch then you really should consider learning how to make a mason jar salad. A mason jar salad will last up to five days in the fridge if you make it right and store it properly so in theory, you could meal prep your lunches for most of the week on a Sunday … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved bargains {April 2024}….
You all know that I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online and this is the return of my monthly post to share some of my bargains with you! This always used to be my favourite post to write each month and even though it's been a while since I've actually shared any of my bargains, I've still been enjoying my regular mooch around the charity shops in my area and picking up bargains when I see them. 😇Where I live now, I'm a five minute walk from the village high street where there are four charity … [Read more...]
Social Media made me buy it – The Crimpit….
Today, I'm sharing a little CrimpIt review with you all as it's a little gadget I bought recently and absolutely love. Does anyone else buy random things after seeing them advertised on Social Media?I realised a little while ago that I'm like an advertiser's dream right now as I've bought things recently that I may not have even known existed if it hadn't been for Social Media and its advertising algorithms that somehow know what I want before I even know myself. I started a cheeky little blog post series last year called 'Social Media made me buy it' but after a couple … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved bargains {November 2022}….
You all know that I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online and this is my monthly post to share some of my bargains with you! This is my favourite post to write every single month and even though it's been a while since I've actually shared a monthly post, I've still been enjoying my regular mooch around the charity shops in my area and picking up bargains when I see them. 😇I haven't bought as much lately if I'm honest for a couple of reasons. The main reason that I'm buying less is that … [Read more...]
