My daughter has always been a keen gymnast: she has loved it from a very early age.  I used to take her to a mini gym session for youngsters when she was pre-school age and I think this is where her love of gymnastics stems from.  A few weeks ago she enrolled at www.gymnasticsclubletchworth.co.uk and she is loving it.

There’s a great event coming up at Newmarket Racecourse this summer, which combines horse racing and music: you watch the races and then there’s a big band on later.  A friend told me about it and suggested we get a group together to go.  It sounds like a fab night out.  I have been given the task of getting a mini bus sorted out for us.  I have contacted www.8seaterminibushireipswich.co.uk (more…)

I have just opened a new cafe and it has been exhausting getting everything going, including buying all the equipment, employing staff and sorting menus and ordering food etc…  There is just so much to do.  I wanted to get some really good uniforms for my staff.  I have looked around a lot and have finally decided to go with www.embroidereduniformspeterborough.co.uk (more…)

I have been having problems with my eyesight and was getting so concerned that I spoke to a few friends about the problem.  Some said it could be connected with the amount of time I spend in front of a computer, while others just said it was old age creeping up on me!  A few of them suggested that I try www.eyetestsdunmow.co.uk and see how my eyes actually were.

I am in the process of moving house and it’s right when people say it’s one of the most stressful times.  There is so much to think about and so much to do.  I have a new house to go to, but it will be a few weeks before I can move in.  However, I need to get out of my current accommodation and I have lots of furniture and bits and bobs to store.  I have been in touch with a storage company: www.storagecompaniesmedway.co.uk, and they are great.  I am confident that my furniture will be in good hands – and the price is good too.

It’s always a bit embarrassing when you get a pest problem at home and you never know who to talk to about it or which companies to call.  Thankfully I have found a few really great companies: these include www.pestcontrollewisham.co.uk and www.pestcontrolgreenwich.co.uk and www.pestcontrolwandsworth.co.uk (more…)

I have been in my house now for a few years, but work and family commitments have kept me really busy and I haven’t had time to do much work on my garden.  It’s not the biggest garden, but it could be really nice with a bit of tender loving care.  I have saved a bit of money and have decided to pay for a landscape gardener to do the initial work for me.  A neighbour used www.landscapegardenerschichester.co.uk and they have done a fantastic job of her garden.  I have decided to use them too.

During my uni days I spent a bit of time working as door staff at college events, and over the years I realised I really enjoyed doing it. I liked being involved and helping people to have a really good night out, plus you always got a free drink at the end of the night, which was great!

I tried a couple of places in Belfast for jobs after I finished uni, but they all said I needed qualifications to get on the job. I contacted www.siatrainingbelfast.co.uk to ask about getting on a course.

I was due to be moving to a new area and packing like a mad thing to make sure everything was sorted for it. The house was full of boxes and bags, and I still had so much to do before I could move. There were things I hadn’t even thought about, like making sure I had the right amount of knives and forks so they didn’t get lost in transit.

One of the things which surprised me most was the amount of dirt which turned up while I was packing. I’d put all my bedding and towels to one side, but when I went to pack them they were full of dust and dirt. There was only one option, I was going to have to get them cleaned at www.launderetteserviceshoddesdon.co.uk. (more…)

My husband has always been a bit of a technophobe. He likes to think he knows his way round the computer and that he’s proficient at using the internet, but he isn’t at all.

So when his laptop broke earlier this month he was completely stumped. We had to take it down to www.laptopreapirsware.co.uk to see if they could do anything with it. (more…)
