Live Well

People have decided that what’s most important in life, is having occupations that no one understands, to pay for celebrity-like fake boobs, and fast cars. In this section, I talk about ignoring the populous, in the hope that one day, we’ll transcend the tabloid-esque ignorance of this world, and end up with simpler, happier lives. Let’s drink to the idea anyway.

Why ‘Extreme Couponing’ Can Take a Hike

November 28, 2011

I was recently featured in an article about ‘extreme couponing’, which doesn’t actually exist in the UK. Quite when the papers are going to grasp that, I don’t know.

This week, I had the pleasure of hosting the Totally Money blog carnival. Boomer from Boomer & Echo submitted an article, which really struck a chord with me.

Most of us wouldn’t deny the need for cleaning products in our lives, however, we may well begrudge having to shell out for them. Even the cheapest own brand multi purpose cleaning products are a couple of quid a throw. As an extra insult to injury, they also contain very harsh chemicals, which are harmful [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a charity dinner, and won a family pass to Kilver Court Gardens in the raffle. After my trip to New York, a walk around the gardens was just the thing I needed to get rid of my jet-lag. The gardens were commissioned in 1960 by the Showering family [...]

I’m giving nomadic blogging a go this week, so I’m writing this post from a hotel terrace in NYC. I have to say, I’m rather enjoying it too.

Although a relatively new word, the stay-cation is not a new concept, it’s the original holiday. Before packages to the Costas, most Brits took our holidays in Britain, and with another financial crisis looming, I expect we’ll be doing so again for the next few years. Thankfully, the standard of accommodation in Britain has improved [...]

Being a recovering consumer is EXACTLY like being a recovering alcoholic. You’ve spent years in denial, telling yourself you don’t have a problem and that you can stop at any time. The friends who you used to indulge with don’t understand, and want the old you back. After all, acknowledging your issue could mean they [...]
