I’ve been thinking a lot about a post on Instagram regarding people’s appearances and the assumptions we make about their financial situation as a result of that. I have a personal Instagram with has everyone on there that I’ve known through the years but wouldn’t class as good friends, ya know just keep them there …

Naples and beyond…

Yo. Sorry this post is late. Since I've been back it's been hella busy. You know when you get chucked back in at the deep end. That's been me this week. We got back late on Tuesday and then the rest of the week at work has been ridonkulously busy. Our washing machine at home …

How I manage to find cheap holidays!

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is wonderful? Can't quite believe that as I sit here writing this, the sun is beaming through my window blasting off some serious heat. You'd never believe that last week in Bristol we were in a red zone of blizzard conditions and completely snowed in for 3 days! I've had …

House falling through

Hi everyone, Just thought i'd come on and explain a little more about why the house fell through. I'm conscious i'm rubbish and awkward on insta stories, much better in writing. Without the Bristolian account yeah. So as you guys know we put an offer in on a house that was accepted. Yey! We were …

10 things

Thanks for the tag @sofieloueats ! 10 things I no longer buy/do now I’m saving money. I have to be honest, most of these things I still do but only on the rare occasion. I don’t want to COMPLETELY cut things out because I feel like ill be totally depressed about it and then ill …

Holiday addict – professional help please?

Professional help needed?! Over the weekend, Saturday morning specifically, Caine received a text from his good friend Ismail telling him that Ryanair had just released a load of flights from £9.99. I'm sure you know where i'm going with this... We were thinking, lets just have a look. Although I knew already that Caine had …

Shit.

Bluuuuugh. Having a bluuuuugh day today🤷🏼‍♀️. Saw the picture attached and thought, how apt for how i'm feeling RN. So I thought id open up a blog and just start writing whatever came into my head. I've been thinking recently about how different mine and Caine's relationship would be if we just had our own space …
