Women's Interests

Some women find drinking beer awkward. It is mainly an image thing – “What will people think if they see me stood here nursing a man’s drink?” My advice would be – don’t worry, times have changed!

On first reflection you may not think that buying furniture online is such a good idea, but actually there are many reasons to consider it for your next major purchase. If you need inspiration then I would always suggest a trip round some actual furniture showrooms first in order to get an idea of the kind of thing you are looking for, but if you are clear in your mind then just go for it!

Thank goodness for the warmer weather! Finally the children are free to play happily outside without freezing their toes off and ending up with sniffley colds every other week. It is such a pleasure to be able to sit outside in the sunshine watching them as well – especially when you have other Mums for company and a nice pot of coffee.

When little friends come round for tea after school I am always happy to feed and entertain them, but life is so much easier when they are in the garden rather than the house. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly they can turn single beds into space ships, duvets into tents and generally ransack their bedrooms in a matter of moments. Read more… »
