So although a Chinese takeaway is my favourite weekend dinner option, and if I had a choice I would go to the same place every single week, Mr OneBigStressball kindly reminded me last week that we did not move to a street perpendicular to one with a whole host of different restaurants just to pick…… Continue reading Slumdog Delivered
As I mentioned in my last post, Mr OneBigStressball and I moved to a new flat a couple of weeks ago, and we have been taking our time exploring the surrounding eateries. When we lived in our old flat, I was always reluctant to walk too far to find a good restaurant (I get really…… Continue reading Mixing Traditional and… Not-so-Traditional
Another week has gone by and I am writing this while snuggled on the sofa in mine and Mr OneBigStressball’s new home!

If you like to…… Continue reading Working From Home – Week 11 ***EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE***
