#ParcelPerfect – How do you wrap yours?

by StaceyUpdated on November 28, 2025December 19, 2016

If there is one thing I always leave until the last minute at Christmas, it’s wrapping presents. I have been known to be sat wrapping at 10pm on Christmas Eve, finishing up; but obviously that’s only possible with gifts I am giving over the coming days. Over recent years I have taken part in Secret Santa exchanges with various online communities I am a part of, and this means my recipient is usually across the other side of the country. Hence, I need to send parcels via mail or courier. Contact Numbers UK have launched their #ParcelPerfect campaign; aiming to …

Cinnamon honey shortbread | Recipe

by StaceyUpdated on September 6, 2025December 16, 2016

If there is one thing I love eating during the festive season, it’s shortbread. Though the shop bought stuff is tasty, I do love to make my own as it is so simple and fills the house with tempting smells; it’s hard not to eat it straight from the oven! I have to say, it doesn’t last long though; it’s just so moreish, isn’t it?

by StaceyUpdated on December 10, 2016December 11, 2016

I can’t quite believe it’s December already; this year has gone so quick! I started joining in with our favourite five back in May and the months just seem to have flown by. I’m surprised I have managed to join every month; but I think I do so because it’s nice to look back on our month and see that even if I’ve had bad days, there has been good too. Anyway, I’m a little late with November’s favourites, for a reason you will discover when you read on… The beginning of November was fairly quiet, but towards the end …

Slimming World weigh in – the first post target one…

by StaceyUpdated on December 3, 2016December 4, 2016

I think last week’s weigh in had to be my favourite one ever; I reached target! It took a few days for it to sink in, but I didn’t really go overboard in celebration like I might have expected to… In actual fact, I was still on plan for most of the week. I did have a Subway for lunch on the day of weigh in, but it was the first thing I’d really had off plan. I don’t usually eat heavily on a weigh in day, but I decided that I had my target range to ‘play’ with, so it didn’t …
