Buying a house

It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years, but it just never seemed right, or possible. By “right”, I mean, I never felt settled enough in one place to commit the next 20 years to living there. I’ve always been a bit of a loose canon when it comes to …

Our sweet boy – Parenting

So, as usual it’s been a while since we’ve posted on our blog and instead of apologising I’m just going to hold my hands up and say- yep, it’s been a while, no I don’t know when we’ll next post because raising a baby is hard work. The last post …

Update on us….

It’s been a while (massive understatement) since Mark and I wrote any blog posts, and I’m so sorry for that. We weren’t really happy with how the blog looked and needed to change it, but just never got around to it. Now that we’re happy with how it looks, I …

Manchester – From us

This isn’t really the idea of our blog, I don’t think either of us ever thought we’d write a post like this, but sometimes you just need to vent your anger, frustrations and upset. This is one of those times. As everyone knows, on Monday night, a tragic event took …

Our relocation story.

After Mark and I had ‘officially’ been together a month or so, he was approached by an old work colleague, and discussions were had about an opening that had arisen. Mark was very excited by this, and I also encouraged him as I knew it would be something that he …
