>How to raise £13K legally in a matter of days?

> I need thirteen thousand pounds to change my life. I’m not talking about a boob job or new car (though if anyone wants to buy me either I will accept). What I want is an education and in turn, a greater understanding and perhaps a better chance of landing that ‘dream role’ I’ve found [...]

>Christmas prep tip #1 -The Prezzie Chest

> Have a ‘present chest’ (or simple box). Mine used to be a massive wooden blanket chest but is currently the space underneath my bed! We are dealing with Christmas but this box is great to have all year round as takes the hassel out of birthdays. Especially those ones you forget but don’t want [...]

> Tuesday’s normally consist of home-childminder-work-childminder-home. Yesterday I broke the mould and hit the town (well trendy Shoreditch) after work with my cousin and a good friend. First stop was The Drunken Monkey for some delicious dim sum and gorgeous cocktails. We ate and drank to our hearts delights. The food was delicious and the [...]

>Save a Life- Save the Children

> What would you do to save a life? If I said that signing an online petition (here) could make the difference to hundreds of thousands of starving children would you? If you knew that writing a post of 100 words could provide training for new medical staff could you? Or by simply using the [...]

>Save the Children- please?

> Yesterday I went to the HQ of Save the Children in Farringdon for a conference filled with fellow bloggers, vloggers and communications gurus. We heard first hand accounts of just how awful the situation in East Africa really is. Gareth Owen, the director of emergencies put faces and voices to some of the hundreds [...]
