Bit of an update on ye old driving lessons… I ONLY WENT AND PASSED MY THEORY!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! So, that’s one test over and done with and it’s such a weight off my mind. Goes to show, revision does really pay off and I think with my newly confirmed knowledge, it will go a long way(…)
Zooming back to July 2009, pregnant and having just moved into our first home …attention naturally turned to decorating the nursery. I remember mulling over colours and furniture, wanting that perfect place to bring home our little bundle. I remember us both sticking on the sheep and gingerbread men debating on their placement, arguing over whether(…)
No… don’t worry, it’s not that game. It’s a family friendly one. Simply things I have never owned/worn/ate… you get the picture. So here we go… I have never… …owned a Mr Frosty Yes, I know. Heart-breaking isn’t it. And I still don’t let my parents live this down. I wrote a very detailed list to Father(…)
If I’ve been a bit too offline for your liking then it’s because we have been busy working and squirreling away in preparation for our holidays!! WOOOOOO… *HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE* It’s been a bit touch and go scraping the pennies together so we’ve resorted to tactics ranging from selling clothes online to(…)
ME!!!!! I cannot apologise enough for the load of tosh my poor subscribers/visitors have just had to read. It seems some clever little fellow *WAVES FIST* managed to create themselves a login to my WordPress account only to write to you about the very important subject of ’Cheap Oakley Sunglasses’. They were so uniquely written(…)
There’s nothing better than cranking the volume up whilst your favourite song is playing to liven up boring car journeys. This isn’t actually my favourite song in the world but it’s one that I love to listen to in the car. I remember when I first heard it years ago (pre-Squish) when I was visiting(…)
In September, my son will be embarking on his first day at nursery school and although I worry about how I am going to keep it together whilst sending him out in his little uniform and waving from the school gates, I have to keep in mind that it’s my little Squish who will be(…)
*Consideration was received for the editing and publishing of this post* Maximizing your quality of life at a given income level is all about living within your means. If you play your cards right, you can live a life on par with others with the same income as you, but you’ll find yourself financially ahead(…)
I’m now onto lesson 10 but if you want to catch up you can read the following: Part 1: Lessons 1-3 Part 2: Lessons 4-6 Part 3: Lessons 7-9 Having reached lesson 10 without crashing I am secretly high-fiving myself. Jonathan promised me that I’d be infinitely better by this point several weeks back and although I(…)
Just in case you have missed them, check out part one and part two. It’s lesson seven. I get in the car and Jonathan (my very wise instructor) asks me to drive the usual route which I eventually do, although when we get near to Salford Uni we usually turn off the main road and(…)
I’m going to get all emo on you. Growing up I’ve always dealt with any emotions by surrounding myself with soundtracks. Certain songs can catapult me back to how I was feeling at that time… admittedly most my teenage years involved a large amount of wallowing to the sounds of The Smiths and Radiohead (whom I still(…)
Last week we were lucky enough to go and see Cbeebies’ new show ‘Justin & Friends’ at Manchester Arena. This was the first show Squish had been to so I went in with my fingers crossed that he would sit long enough to enjoy it. I’d been putting off going to shows for a while(…)
Right, I’ve been a bit lax updating everyone with my driving journey so there will be a few parts in succession to catch up!! You can find out about how lessons 1-3 went here. On lesson four Jonathan started the lesson by having a chat about my little nerves problem… or as I like to call ‘shaky(…)
On Saturday we were invited to come and try out a new bar/bowling alley in Manchester city centre called ‘Dog Bowl‘ which is part of the very popular Black Dog Ballroom chain of bars. I must say, we were very impressed. As you walk in the entrance leads straight onto a swanky bar/dining area and(…)
