Down to the finest details of wedding decorations a bride will have plenty of people around her to advise and remind her of what she needs and what she ought not to forget. There are off course wedding fairs and online stores. A barrage of information to deal with and the truth is it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it may even be hard to keep in mind the reason for all this meticulous planning; and at times everything may just run away with itself. Then, you should sit down with a cuppa, put your feet up...

I downloaded the app Instagram on my phone a few days ago. It is just another one of those fun apps that automatically uploads your photos to social sites such as Facebook or twitter.It automatically adds any friends you have on your Facebook friends list so that you can view photos they take as well. Just a bit of hi tech fun as far as I was concerned. However it presented me with a dilemma because one of the people on my list have posted up a couple of 'naughty' pics ....the uses some people find for ...
It is another beautiful day in Northern Ireland, though they say rain is on the way. I don't mind too much as I finally tried my hand at barbequing yesterday evening. All things considered it all went rather well and no disastrous side effects such as tummy upsets or the like, just a pleasant meal. It is strange that a barbeque can seem a special sort of meal, yet it uses the most basic of ingredients such as burgers and sausages Considering the initial difficulties my daughter and I had we were well pl...
Today's generation is the generation that cuts out the middle-men, that figures things out for themselves. Most people today could be considered as cynics because 'we all know the price of everything and the value of nothing'. That's how it seems when you hear some people talk about things like loans of any sort - unsecured business loans, SBA loan, business loans and the business lending process. It would seem that everyone is an expert. Not me, if I was ever lucky enough to have anything of value, I m...

I haven't been on my computer much lately except to lurk around facebook and share the funny photos that do the rounds. I would like to say that this latest hiatus from blogging is due to my overwhelming busy lifestyle but the truth is.. it owes more to laziness. I have taken up gardening - sort of. Historically any plants I have had tended to commit suicide of sorts - probably through feeling neglected. Well, what do I know about nurturing or growing anything? Not very much if my latest attempts are an...
I went to see Steps in Belfast's Odyssey Arena on Monday night. It was a fantastic entertaining show, everyone was on their feet and dancing and singing along with their favourite songs. For a couple of hours I forgot that I wasn't a 'wee girl' anymore as I danced along, cheered and sang. I can't say as I knew the moves or even all the words to the songs but that didn't hinder me getting carried away in the moment. It was a great fun night out. The upshot is that I woke up on Tuesday with a sor...
Yesterday I dragged myself and my little dog away from hearth and home and went for a proper walk up the Cavehill. It was time we had a proper 'workout' of sorts and the hearth in my case is no more than a HDTV screen. I stare at the images on it just as people stared at the flickering flames in their fireplaces long long ago. It is a slightly comatose state, not what you would call terribly healthy. The thing about walking is that it gives you the space to think, having an awful lot of things rattling ...
