I’ve heard people talk about Probiotics for years. I bet you’ve seen them on the TV talking about yogurt that has this special stuff in it. You might even have heard of Prebiotics as something slightly different.
The main thing I’d heard was that you should take them after antibiotics, but when I went to investigate I got very confused and ran away from the health food shop.
Then last year I met a lovely blogger at an awards ceremony (which you are . . . → Read More: What on earth are Probiotics and do you need to take them?

As most of you know we are on a big cost cutting, money saving campaign in this house at the moment. The big hairy northern one has got a job, but it’s a contracting job, so we decided we needed a more detailed plan and budget. We want to insure against was sudden big bills.
What was concerning us most was cars.
Firstly there is petrol. Then there is the sudden big bills of tax, MOT, insurance, tyres and servicing. My service is technically paid for but I still got a sudden ONE THOUSAND POUND bill a couple of months ago and . . . → Read More: How buying a car can save you money!

With great trepidation I decided to take a week off ‘reading’. The idea being that it can be a way of avoiding life sometimes.
Being a busy mum I don’t get much chance to read, so I thought about what I do read. Mainly it was Facebook groups, my friend’s Facebook updates, twitter, and a couple of online newspaper pages.
So I decided to unplug for a week. I’d reply to people, mainly because otherwise I’d come back to a confusing mess. But apart from that I wasn’t going to spend time surfing online.
What would happen? I . . . → Read More: What Happens In A Week Off Reading, Facebook and Twitter?

Do you know someone who needs a Big Break or needs some money? Well if so, you can nominate them for a Big Break by clicking here.
Each month a lucky someone will get £1000.
Plus each time someone is nominated Marie Curie Cancer Care will get a donation.
It’s kind of a win-win situation heh, hence I accepted the opportunity to blog about it and nominate someone myself. Then I spent days trying to work out who on earth to nominate as there were so many people.
In the end I chose Becki . . . → Read More: Nominate Someone For A Big Break

I spent all friday filming a ‘thingy’ you’ll see soon about top tips to save money. I’ve actually found myself more contented and less stressed having had to cut back since the big hairy northern one was made redundant, so it’s got a very positive spin on it.
Then we had the lovely weather at the weekend. I love the smell of spring. I love lying on grass and being barefoot. I love counting daisies with the kids. I love picnics. I love walking the dog in the evening when it’s around the time that the sun comes down and everything starts . . . → Read More: Does everyone like the simple things, can it be learnt?

What makes us feel one way or the other about education and the choices that we have to make for our children?
Some of it must be society and peers. But I reckon a big part comes from our own childhood.
I was sent to an all girls school; hence my dislike of single sex education.
I also went private right through, my husband went half & half. So initially we were planning on state primary for Curly Headed Boy and Little Dimples, until our options were limited to a school that had a bad reputation with the potential for improvement. We just weren’t . . . → Read More: Does your past affect your worries about your children’s schooling?

Today I had a huge pile of Mummy bloggers at my house and here is the massive pile of cake we had (in fact there was more, but I missed off some lovely biscuits!)
This is the advantage of living in St Albans; the Mummy Blogging capital of the world. Lots of bloggers and lots of cake! I think that we can potentially look a little scary when we go to an event together, but we are really very friendly – after all everyone who eats cake must be . . . → Read More: #DoSomethingYummy – Eat Cake!

My head’s disagreeing with itself.
It watched a program about the American situation with horror. There are children without homes, and not getting anything to eat when they go home from school. People are living in tent cities or storm drains. It was like something out of the middle ages. Of course, unlike us they don’t have the same degree of NHS and Benefits system.
Someone asked an American politician what he would do about a man in a coma without health insurance who would die without medical assistance. The Politician said ‘but he made the choice not to have health care’. . . . → Read More: NHS: Is it Fair That People/Children Without Choice Don’t Get Help?
