An Advent Of Kindness Day 1 to 6

You can’t get away from Christmas it happens every year from what feels like August.People go crackers literally Halloween onwards and it is drilled into us there is only so many bank balance emptying days till Christmas.I can find Christmas overwhelming with all the bright lights tinkle sparkle and at times over inflated retail message that is put across.

So what about an advent of kindness for yourself or others or maybe a bit of both.And an advent of kindness doesn’t have a single thing if you don’t want it to .

Day 1

Perhaps sort out that stuff for the charity shop you’ve been putting off for ages and who know s when you’re in the charity shop you might see something you’ve been after but couldn’t really afford up till now.

Day 2 

Go for a walk and appreciate the outdoors whatever the weather , at this time of year I love to grab the light.

Day 3

Cook for yourself or for friends or family with a hearty vegetarian recipe .

Day 4

Start a crafting hobby such a card making , it is a hobby I slip in and out but I’m determined to get fully back into it.

Day 5 

Start that book you’ve been reading to read it doesn’t matter how long it takes you.

Day 6 

Culture a plant .. I don’t mean read to a plant the entire works of Shakespeare .Plan what you’d like to grow in your garden whatever it’s size .You can even grow vegetables in containers and yield brilliant results.

From Grannies Heist To Dreaming Of Mice

Bus travel like it loathe ... it is certainly an experience ! from the seat hoggers to those who don't know the meaning of personal space , bus travel at the best of times can range from anything from horrific to a comedy




Possibly some old ladies on the bus organising a bank heist .. “ You drive don’t you Beryl ?”





You hear it all on the 9.30 pensioners Express the time where they can all use their free bus passes.


You’re probably sitting reading this though you could be at the bus stop petrified of the criminal world of grannies. You could be wonderful at the blog title and quite frankly I was too.But I thought well of course I can link it to my cat ~ cats and internet a marriage made in heaven. My cat is saving the planet by reusing an Amazon box as his bed so you can thank my cat for saving the world.

Try Not To Get Yourself Into Debt At Christmas

Christmas puts us all under pressure and we shouldn’t really have to feel like that at all.It is one day they say but it ends up being more like 2 months of sprinkle tinsel and dine onslaught.You could save a regular month each to put towards your Christmas presents but I feel that even with this you’re going to be buying stuff that isn’t really needed. Perhaps you and your family could put towards a family holiday together during the following year ~ a great memory maker. This is something that might take a few years to save for dependant on where you go or what you might do.


Keeping your eye for deals is good and don't be afraid to buy Christmas presents from Charity shops you  will honestly be amazed at what you pick up for next to nothing for new items and the money is going to a good cause.It is worth looking at Martin Lewis and his money saving Expert website as there is some great advice on there.


And if you do have some outstanding debt and you really want to start to make a difference to your finances without it wildly impacting your credit rating.Firstly ring up what ever credit provider you have and ask about freezing the interest while making constant repayments under a plan. You won't be able to use your credit card etc whilst this is going on and it will be noted on your credit file that you're under some sort of arrangement but it won't wildly affect your credit rating.

Another way to keep those costs down at Christmas is to make your own cards and it can be done for little or no cost , perhaps you have a crafty friend that you could share crafting supplies with.

And batch cooking is a good idea as well to save the cash over the festive season and perfect also if you get unexpected guests.

If you’re going away over the festive season and in particular have cats or small animals like a hamster then perhaps ask a friend to pop in and look after them.

We should not be a slave to the pressure of stuff and even though my son is at university we will get him stuff that’s practical shower gel etc.

The Autumn Of Vienna

I’m adjusting back from Vienna and the climb down from the coffee which I didn’t hit the coffee and cake to hard but my words what a wonderful place it was.I miss the wide open spaces and the fact that one minute you can be walking down the wide city roads and then next minute your in palace gardens.

I miss Vienna when you’re away travelling it makes you feel alive and your eyes just want to drink it all in.And Vienna I have to say is one of those places you will want to go back to not only for the most amazing Christmas markets I have ever seen but all museums and architecture it has to offer.And Vienna you’re beautiful what ever your season is.
