Uni Goals
Happy Fri-yay Peeps! I've been busy preparing for my Master's degree starting next week! đ± While I sit at the computer reading (for what has seemed like days) I put YouTube on (as I often do..in fact it's on Crafty Girl now as I type... huge bonus of a dual-screen setup). I have been watching [...]
Dickens Overcomes A Bad Day
Howdy Peeps, Yesterday was pretty lousy. Quite a lot of silly little things, things you could shake off if they were fewer in number, seemed to come all at once. No major disaster or tragedy, just little annoyances. I started my annual reading of A Christmas Carol a few days ago and yesterday I got [...]

A Bad Idea
Morning Peeps! I've been meaning to write this for a month or so, I am really scared and saddened: Since New Year I've seen several new adverts for Guarantor Loans, Payday Lenders and Hire-Purchase companies; while these are nothing new, it bothers me that they're getting smart. I think most of the population is now immune to [...]
Be Careful What You Say
How-do Peeps! Firstly, good luck to all of you returning to school this week! Secondly, I've been thinking about this topic for a day or two...so thought I'd share. This advice is cited numerous times in the Bible, for many different reasons. Anger: There are tons of verses related to this, they tell us it's [...]
