After much soul searching my wife and I have decided to divorce.  It hasn’t been an easy decision but we agree that it will be the best thing for both of us, and, in the long run, the children too.  There is so much to consider now that the decision has been made it was time to consult a family solicitor.  I have consulted www.familysolicitorshull.co.uk and they have been fantastic.

It’s certainly a white winter. Schools across the country are closing their doors, leaving the country littered with children in bobble hats and snowman constructions on every street corner.

As is to be expected, they’re having the time of their lives treating passersby to a snowball or two and sliding down hills in dustbin lids. It really does make me wish I was back at school – or not at school as the case may be!

You only have to turn on the TV or open the newspaper to see that the country is in panic and the winter weather is causing chaos.

But when I read an article in the Hull Daily Mail about the hard working people of Hull I was very proud. Not to be defeated they are making every effort to ensure that the frosty conditions and a little bit of the white cold stuff doesn’t stop the world from moving round.

They kept things business as usual, despite the heavy snow, ensuring communities were looked after, Hull care homes were tended to and Hull schools were opened. They also cleared snow from roads and carried out shopping for elderly residents.

Even the Hull postmen managed to brave the frost and deliver the post – not sure I’d be able to do that myself!

I have to say, for us girls there’s nothing worse than wearing that gorgeous pair of heels, or sandals, only to show off unkempt feet.

I actually love a good pedicure and you can always keep your feet in tip top condition by taking a trip to a local chiropodist or podiatrist in hull – but when I read an article about this new craze of fish friendly foot care I was intrigued.

Obviously,  it’s hardy the most normal of sights to see on a typical visit, three ladies sat in a row with their feet each in a fish tank – but that’s what you should expect  if you were to visit ‘Fab Foot Spa’ in Hull.

Visitors dip their feet into two fish tanks, containing around 150 little swimmers, where they nibble away at all the hard skin for around 15 minutes.

The Hull Daily Mail news article discusses how students from Hull University were the first to try out the new treatment and I must admit, they certainly look happy in the photo – although I hope you would with 300 fish tickling you feet….
