Holiday is over and it’s back to reality with a bump! It is cold here in Aberdeen and autumn has well and truly set in while we were away. I am away again for the weekend, jetting off to Manchester to meet some friends and go to the Blog On conference. Piglet is staying at

For a bit of fun I managed to coax JHogg into doing the husband tag with me. It is basically a set of questions that you ask your other half to see how well they know you. I am constantly telling JHogg that I know he doesn’t listen to me when I talk – and

I am regularly praised for how well I handle my diabetes. At my last clinic appointment the team were quizzing me on how I do it and saying how disciplined I must be. And I am – of course I am, otherwise I wouldn’t be in the position I am now medically. To those outside of

Coming towards the end of the month the pennies are starting to dwindle a bit, so it’s time to utilise some of the things I have in the freezer! We are away at the weekend for a wedding in Glasgow, so we’re off the hook for one night at least. Piglet has started to get

I am totally guilty of boredom eating. I reach for a snack constantly while we’re at home as a way to pass some of the time. This week I decided to drag out the snacking process a little and do a bit of baking. I might as well spend a little time making something before
