Planning fun for a wet weekend

For some reason wet weather needs planning , probably because it makes most of us feel on the flat and fed-up side, but the consequence of this vibe is that spontaneous fun just happens less . If you know next this weekend is going to be a damp squib then beat the blues with a plan of campaign .

Top Safety Tips for When You’re Painting the Town Red

Imagine – you’re young free and single again and thinking that it would be fun to get out and about. There’s a lot to do and see, people to meet, and adventures to have. However, I didn’t feel as street wise as I used to so, keen to start playing again, I sought advice from fun-loving, single girls who were always out and about – what do they do to keep safe? Here are their Top Tips – thanks girls!

  • Never, ever, ever use an illegal cab.
  • Ask the cab driver, or person giving you the lift home, to wait until you’re in your house. One of my friends was mugged after the cab drove off.

    Home Runs Come to us All! Weekends Alone…Making the most of child free time

    The weekend when you are without your children, the house is empty and you are alone. Jeepers creepers. However we have found that there is a distinct pattern to the way these weekends go, so fear not if you are at first base. Within the shaking of a lamb’s tail, a home run (though more English and less whizzy: a rounder), will be scored!!!!

    FIRST BASE
    The house is empty, you feel alone, all your mates are with their families, and you feel weepy and sad.

    SECOND BASE
    You decide to be all useful and efficient, using the weekends on your own to tidy the utility room, sort the children’s clothes out and catch up! Not really my type of thing though extremely cathartic and useful phase ……….maybe it should become my thing?!
