Tweet Sweaty Betty here again, after another night of sweating and shivering, I am back at my desk (right now its coffee time).

Tweet Shopping takes on a whole new meaning at Christmas time. It seems that no amount of snow, ice or slush can stop feisty housewives from over spending, stocking up or shopping until they are dropping! I live on a bus route, which has been iced up for days, apart from one lane which is [...]

Tweet Good morning, Granny calling……I am having one of those days, you know, the sort of day that starts out wrong. When you try to put the lid of the teapot on the kettle by mistake (and it falls in) and squirt hairspray under you arms instead of anti-perspirant. I loaded the washing machine put [...]
