New shame for Celtic Football Club

February 8, 2014 By Ellen

Early on in my life on the west of Scotland I decided that saying as little as possible about football – particularly that of the two main teams – was for the best. I don’t have anything of worth to add to the debate, although from the side line I’m saddened by how much time, energy […]

How I cut my energy bills by nearly £60 a month…

February 7, 2014 By Ellen

Almost a year ago, I began a process that has lead to me saving considerable amounts of money, as well as making my home cozier. We also found Smart Heat recently which is a great web site to find the best heaters, so have a look there if you need a new heater for your […]

Of course free bleeding is a hoax…

February 6, 2014 By Ellen

Not so bad close up (Medicozz via Flickr) Avoiding work this morning by ambling through a couple of Facebook groups I found a link to a post about a thing called “free bleeding”. The notion apparently is that you don’t bother with tampons, pads or cups during your period, you just let things flow, erm, naturally.

I want to save piles more I keep hearing on the news that things are looking up, the economy is expanding and there are, apparently, green shoots of recovery.

Glasgow Museums Resource Centre – an excellent family outing

January 31, 2014 By Ellen

“Dung beetles live in a ball of poo and they eat up all the poo and then they break out of the poo,” Boy Three is very enthusiastic on the subject of poo – particularly as a des res or dinner dish. And his enthusiasm was fuelled by a fascinating encounter with a museum curator in […]

The go-to-bed alarm

January 30, 2014 By Ellen

I have a problem at bedtime. It happens several times a week. After a pleasant evening of TV and chat with the Panther, I simply don’t know when to stop. The show we sat down to sneer at is finished and the bedtime hour (when taking into account our age, the horrible time the alarm […]
