So today I told the grand old age of 28, and I’m still nowhere near being a full-fledged adult yet! This year has probably been one of the best of my life and there have been so many reasons why so I thought I’d share with you my top five highlights of my 27th orbit around the sun! My top memory of this year, hands down,…

Before you ask, no I haven’t had a disaster with my laser eye surgery and had to go back to wearing glasses or contacts! But I have teamed up with Vision Direct and they’ve got Mike trying out daily contact lenses as he’s normally a monthly wearer. Vision Direct are Europe’s largest online contact lenses supplier with a huge range of lenses with most of them being available…

As the cold nights draw in there’s nothing better than grabbing a buddy or two and heading out for some hot cider.

This is no easy feat as I’m such a spending addict. I go overboard for birthday and Christmas gifts as I don’t seem to know when to stop. I’ve been making small…

Banana Tree restaurants are the ideal place to enjoy delicious food from Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and the peninsula of Malaysia and Singapore amidst the hustle and bustle of the stresses that December often brings. There’s Christmas shopping, plenty of parties, even more sniffles from cold filled colleagues and sometimes all you need is to get away from it all, even if just from an…
