Finding a photographer with Bidvine

Finding a photographer with Bidvine

The first time we ever hired a professional photographer was for our wedding – almost eight and a half years ago! Though it seems like such a long time ago, I still remember how stressful it was; researching different photographers for our needs, meeting with photographers, making sure they were within our budget. We didn’t have a very big budget, but looking back now I wish we had put more into it. Obviously I love looking back on my wedding photos, but now I am into photography myself, I realise that we could have chosen one with better skills.

Slimming World weigh in – the one where I reach target…

Last week I had fairly mixed emotions after my weigh in. On the one hand. I was happy because I had another good loss of 2lb; on the other hand, I was a little frustrated because I only had that half a pound left to reach my target.

The Book Of Everyone | Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Updated on

My husband is such a difficult person to buy presents for. He never really asks for anything (except a new car, but I can’t afford that), so I have to guess what he would like, and he usually ends up with lots of little bits. He doesn’t read (so not like me), so I don’t buy him books, but The Book Of Everyone is different. I think he will like this one and maybe, you know, actually read it…

Roasted pepper and carrot soup | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

Updated on

It’s definitely that time of the year right now, where I’m eating a lot of soups. Sometimes I will just open a tin for convenience (though not very often these days, as most have syns with following Slimming World) but I don’t think there’s any soup better than home made soup. The smell of it bubbling away on the hob, and the delicious flavours we can create depending on our mood.
