Since it’s Halloween next week I thought I’d share my love of abandoned places. They’re always quite dark and creepy, have an air of eeriness and make the mind wander. That’s no doubt the reason a lot of horror film/shows take place in derelict hospitals and buildings – they’re bloody scary.I don’t know why or…

Firsts: First Holiday Abroad
I thought it was about time I wrote another instalment of my Firsts series; I’ve previously written about my first kiss and first job, so check them out and please try not to cringe too much at my first kiss tale.Back in 1998, when I was eleven my family booked a two week holiday to…
Wilson’s Give A Dog A Bone – Pet Sitting and Dog Walking in West Lancashire
Before we get into this – I’ve not been paid and this post isn’t sponsored, blah blah. Wilson’s Give A Dog A Bone is my younger brothers business; he set up four months ago, after wanting to do it for years, and I thought what better way to show off what he does than on…
September #Paperhaul Subscription Box
After I was gifted July’s box to review I asked you guys if you wanted me to subscribe and do a monthly unboxing – you said ‘yes’, and here we are. Have a little peek at July’s box here. I was a shitty blogger and didn’t subscribe before August boxes went live so that’s why I’m starting with…
Kikki-K Haul
As a planner addict Kikki-K is heaven to me, so when I knew I’d be spending a few days in London having tests a few weeks ago (you can read all about that here) I knew I had to visit one of their stores. Luckily our hotel was under a ten minute walk to Covent…

Stationery Galore: Huge Haul
If you’re a stationery lover, I can guarantee you will adore this post. It’s very picture heavy but I’m sure that won’t be a problem with any of my fellow stationery addicts. I’m pretty sure that I’ve lost at least a week of my life browsing Etsy and I’m totally okay with that as I’ve found…
Toddlerlife #5
A few weeks ago I travelled back up north to spend a week with my family. I stayed for eight days and my nephew slept over at my Mum’s house seven out of those eight nights. I couldn’t move without him; he followed me to the bathroom, he sat on my knee at any given…
The ‘Done’ List: Acknowledging Achievements
I’ve always been overly critical of myself; I give myself a hard time and feel guilty if I spend a few hours resting. As someone that suffers with chronic pain, I should be used to chilling out and letting myself recover but I put a lot of pressure on myself, and never give myself credit…
A Fascination with Crime
I’ve been fascinated with crime since my teens. I’m pretty sure it began with my grandad; no he wasn’t a criminal, but he loved watching crime shows and since I lived with my grandparents, I naturally began watching them with him. We’d watch CSI together every week and I’d imagine being a forensic scientist when…
