Expensive mistake

June 16th, 2009

With a new kitten I recently brought pet insurance with PetPlan, we got it a little bit late as we have just discovered a small lump on his side that we will now not be covered for.  The insurance company stipulates that we are not covered for the first 14 days of the cover because [...]

Travelling the world

June 15th, 2009

I have only ever really seen Beaches in the UK so to me beaches are cold and next to a tea coloured sea.  I have been recently looking at a number of travel blogs and the pictures look fantastic.  The deep blue seas and cloudless skies look brilliant.  I would like to see if they [...]

Eating out

June 14th, 2009

In my last blog, I advocated cooking; to be specific it was cooking at home.
 
The thing is I’m not against eating out either, until buying our house we used to frequent Mr Manns; a Chinese restaurant, very close to Wollaton park in Nottingham.  This is the restaurant in which I proposed to my wife, and [...]

Cooking at home

June 13th, 2009

A few years ago both my fiancée and I were unemployed at the same time for about a month, it was weird not having anything to do and our lives revolved around food.  We planned what we were going to eat, went shopping for it, cooked it and then ate it.  My parents in law [...]

Health and safety

June 11th, 2009

As I have been a teacher and now a science technician and so I have a lot to do with health and safety.  I understand the need to health and safety, especially in a science laboratory.  Even though I understand the need I still don’t like it.  A lot of health and safety is just [...]

Buying property overseas

June 10th, 2009

It feels like my parents in law are never at home.  When ever my wife talks to them they are always saying they have just been somewhere and are planning to go somewhere else soon.   They have just got back from a trip to Scotland and are planning to go to Newcastle soon for a [...]

England playing

June 10th, 2009

I am not normally a fan of football, I don’t really have much idea about it.  If you asked me which team I supported I would always say Mansfield Town as that is where I am from.  I have no idea of any of the player’s names on the team, I have only watched them [...]

Reality TV

June 9th, 2009

Whether you love it or hate it you can’t help but notice that it’s that time again, big brother time. I admit with slight shame that I did enjoy the first few series of the show; the novelty value was good at that time, because shows like that didn’t exist.  However I have managed to [...]

Shopping for clothes

June 8th, 2009

Women’s fashion has me completely baffled, I was subjected to 5 hours of shopping at the weekend and the majority of that was traipsing around women clothing stores.  My wife has joined the hordes of young ladies wearing leggings (an item of clothing which was reserved until recently for 5 year olds and new mothers) [...]

Free mobile calls are coming

June 7th, 2009

With the 3 network starting to offer free phone calls using Skype it will not be long until other networks follow.  You have to be using a fast 3g phone so you must be on a quite expensive contract already.  I like the idea of free calls.  I call my wife a lot when I [...]
