SL Fashion, Things & Stuff
My post today is going to be a bit of a mish-mash of thoughts and goodies. I spent a lot of time last week decorating my new house after deciding to make some changes. I had a reason to be spurred into action to work on the house though things change so very quickly in [...]
Last week I had quite a long and heated conversation with a friend about wishing people 'Merry Christmas'. He works in a customer facing environment and said that every year up til now he had passed on the greeting to people in his store, or on the phone, at the end of each conversation. But [...]
I am missing a major event in my Christmas calendar this year. Every year for the last 3-4 years the company I worked for organised a Christmas Dinner at a local homeless charity. The majority of the staff helped out. The night before we'd be roasting turkeys and peeling vegetables ready for the day ahead. [...]

It's almost 6 months since I moved my blog to WordPress and made a much more concerted effort to blog almost daily. I thought now was a good time to take a step back and review the progress and consider the strategy for the blog moving forward and I'm interested to know others views on [...]
This whole extra hour in bed sounds like a great idea but in practice it doesn't work. In the UK British Summer Time officially ended in the early hours of Sunday morning when our clocks went back an hour. Technically this meant an extra hour in bed which sort of worked out on Sunday morning [...]
Today at work should be quite interesting. I have now worked for 7 weeks at my new job and it's been a huge learning curve as it's a job in the medical profession in a specialism I knew nothing about. I've had to learn everything from the etiquette to the language and it's been going [...]
