Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Long Distance Relationship*
In the age of Internet dating it’s inevitable that a lot of us will at one point of our lives end up in a long distance relationship. Some of us might start out in a long distance relationship while others may have to adapt to one later on in their relationship due to work or other commitments.

I have a confession to make, I ALWAYS make this resolution and then by March when money is probably at it’s tightest I lose my head a bit and start spending.

It’s a labour of love and although at times it can be…

Crazy Domestic Cleaning with Old Teabags*
Lovers of good quality tea weep somewhat over teabags as not being quite as good as “proper” tea made with loose leaves in a teapot.
