Now that things are starting to move along rather quickly on the moving house front we’re now starting to think about how we’d like to decorate our new home. We’re putting off buying the big bits like sofa’s and dining tables until we’ve got a moving date, but at the moment we’ve been picking up…
For a while Chris and I have wanted to get our own place. Despite having the money to be able to afford to move out and rent our own place, we wanted to get some money together for a deposit to buy our own place. A few months ago we worked out that we had…
Maybe you’re like me and Valentine’s this year has just crept up on you, and before you realised it’s here. In a panic about getting a last minute Valentine’s gift for your loved one? Or maybe you’ve spent so long looking for the perfect gift you’ve completely forgotten to buy anything! It happens to the…
I used to be a big book reader when I was younger, you could never get me away from one. But as I’ve got older I’m struggling to get back into reading after having to read so many for my degree! I’ve been trying to get back into reading for a while, and for Christmas…
Now it’s February everyone’s focus has switched from getting fit and being healthy, to all things Valentine’s Day. I find that Valentine’s Day gifts can often get a little samey, with the usual chocolates and flowers still proving to be popular.

A few years ago I discovered Japanese food and since then I’ve been obsessed with it. I love visits to Yo! Sushi and Wagamama, but I’m always on the look out for a new place I’ve not visited before. When I was looking for somewhere new I came across Inamo, an oriental fusion restaurant based in Soho. I…
Anyone who knows me will know that I’m obsessed with New York, completely and utterly obsessed. For as long as I can remember I’ve been in love with the city, and I was so happy when I visited my favourite city in 2009. I remember planning my trip in amazing detail, especially as I was only…
Yesterday it was Chris’s birthday, and as his birthday fell on a weekend we decided to have a day out to celebrate. Being only 40 minutes away from central London we thought we could have trip into the city and do something fun. Something we’ve talked about for ages is about going to see Cats…
It’s no secret that I’m not a sporty person at all. A typical conversation for me at work is “Did you go to the gym last night Lisa?” “No I stayed in and ate a pizza”. I’m completely lazy and I just can’t seem to motivate myself to get into a healthy routine. I’m now…
