When willpower isn’t the only thing that folds
July 27, 2010
My sister in law is a bit on the heavy side and is always on a diet or some kind of exercise buzz. She doesn’t ever follow anything as she should and the exercise routine gets slacker each day and the diet reverts to old habits of snacking and such like. So when I saw her looking at folding treadmills considering a purchase, all I could do was laugh inside. If she can fold that thing when she gets it, she’ll never open it again!
When ego is drained away with the blockage
July 27, 2010
We had a blockage at the apartment yesterday and try as I might, I couldn’t get rid of it. I had to abandon it and go to work hoping that gravity and sheer luck might have cleared the blockage by the time I’d gotten home. No such luck! I had to call the buildings maintenance manager and within minutes of getting there he’d cleared it. His secret? spring plungers! I’m going to invest in one and avoid having to annoy him again.
Falling slipped one disk, getting up slipped another
July 27, 2010
I recently slipped a disc after falling down a few steps. It didn’t seem like anything major at the time but I had to have an x-ray and then discovered why my pain wasn’t easing. So I booked an appointment with my local chiropractor and was just getting up onto the exam table when what did I do? I only managed to slip another disc! The pain was excruciating. The chiropractor knew immediately what I’d done and thankfully he’s managed to help me. If I’ve learned one thing, it’s to mind my back even more.
All in a day’s shopping
July 27, 2010
I’m not sure if it’s because of this global recession or not but it seems that most stores in the local mall are all having some kind of sale or other. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. It’s great for the shoppers getting a bargain but the way I figure it, the shop keepers are still turning a profit, only a lesser one than pre-sale. Just makes you wonder what kind of mark up they had in the first place. I won’t worry about it though, I bagged me some great bargains.
Tis the season to be silly, fa la la la la…
July 27, 2010
What with the silly season only being a few months away, we’re trying to come up with novel ideas for token Christmas presents for staff. One of the social committee came up with the novel idea for custom water bottles for everyone. At first I thought it was a bit of a silly idea but then, it’s only a token present and I think it’ll go down a treat with everyone. Let’s hope everyone sees the good intention!
Accounting is the way of the future man!
July 17, 2010
When i started my first business , I had never heard of a chartered accountant and to be honest , if a team of chartered accountants fell down on my head i wouldnt have had a clue what they were looking for.
Making the right decision to find an accounting firm that can help you set up your own company isnt easy and as anyone knows , when you start a business , you need the best help possible. I have been trying to form a company for a long time and when my friend who is actually an Auditor and his wife a registered auditor in a large firm , they were at least able to offer me some Taxation Advice in relation to the business , but getting the best Business Advice from someone is an uphill struggle!
Ready to take on the world – well I will be soon!

I’ve been rather run down of late so I’ve starting to take vitamins to help boost my energy and immune system. I went to the health store to get advice on the best kind of vitamin supplement that I should take. The clerk there was really helpful and asked about my lifestyle and my diet and why I felt I needed to take vitamins. He came up with a good course of supplements to take
Vinegar on fries doesn’t quite cut it!
July 15, 2010
On coffee break this afternoon I found a book that someone had left behind them in the canteen. It was a book about all the different uses for vinegar, more than 1001 of them! It’s incredible all the different things that one can do with a humble bottle of vinegar. I was rather interested in learn that it’s an effective eczema treatment. I’m going to claim this book as mine if its here tomorrow. If it’s gone, I’ll be buying a copy!
My new best friend and me
July 15, 2010
For years I’ve had issues with my weight and body image in general. I’d attempt diet after diet in order to achieve something that I couldn’t sustain. Then I discovered alli and all that changed. I learned how to have a healthy relationship with food, how to enjoy food and understand food and not be afraid of the consequences eating would have. I’ve never looked for felt better
Nothing ventured, no hair gained.
July 9, 2010
I considered trying various different treatments to try and restore my hair when I started to lose it but I just decided that nature had more on her side. But lately, I’ve been reading up on a natural cure for hair loss and I’ve been pleasantly surprised to know that there may be options out there after all. Whether any treatments actually work remains to be seen but fingers crossed.
