Howdy Peeps! Firstly, I was way off the mark yesterday with the royal baby name but there was something on the radio about someone thinking they saw Albert on the palace website...I'm really glad they were wrong because it seems inappropriate to tell a couple's baby details before they announce it themselves, however famous they [...]

You Can’t Out-Give God
Evening Peeps! Been a lovely day here 🙂 How about where you are? Last week I had a fairly big tithe to put in (because of end-of-the-month pay) but was wrestling with the fact that we were going to be tighter on money this month. Tithing our 10% to God hasn't always come easily or naturally to [...]
Spring Update
Hey-ho Peeps! Thought I'd give you a little update on how life is going in our little corner of Cornish paradise. 🙂 Blog-wise it's going great; you are all awesome, thank you! My stats have gone nuts, especially on Autism Awareness Day. Thank you so much for that, it's a cause close to my heart. [...]

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 [...]
2018!
Morning New Year's Peeps! (or afternoon if you slept in 😉 ) How on Earth is it 2018? Somehow that just sounds soooooo much closer to 2020 than 17 did! My daughter finishes school in 2020, so that might have something to do with my freaking out! 😉 Joking aside, I'm actually looking forward to 2018. [...]
