Five For Friday – The Hungover Edition
We had a Santa Shoebox meeting last night and it was a rare meeting where almost all of us could make it. So there was lots of laughing and catching up and drinking wine. It was just what I need to relax a little bit. I only had two glasses of wine but woke up […]
Currently…….
I had a whole post written up in my head this morning, it was more of a rant actually about how people latch onto things on the internet and share them without much thought for the people involved or if they will actually make a difference. It is way too easy to just share stuff […]
A couple of weeks ago I won a prize on an instragram competition Citroen was running. All the comment said was”you have won this weeks voucher – a spa for two” – I was pretty chuffed because who doesn’t like a little spa time but thought it would be a massage and maybe something else! […]
So October….
Isn’t it funny how some months just suck! Well October was my month to suck! Completely! Totally! Utterly! It was horrible! But it is nearly done and then it’s the final countdown to Cape Town! CAN.

Santa Shoebox – FILLERS NEEDED
As some of you know I am on the Santa Shoebox Committee for Pretoria this year. This morning I got an email from another lady on our committee about her filler drive so I thought I would share. Obviously getting boxes is our priority but there is a very big need for box fillers as […]
Perspective? Reality? A bit of both!
My washing machine came back today and it works!!! It ended up costing is R500 – some clothes managed to get stuck somewhere and that’s not covered my the warranty – WHATEVER!!! It is officially the last Samsung product we will ever buy! Today I spent the morning at the Boschkop Farm School to had […]
My Santa Shoebox Experience
I did mention it earlier that I had volunteered to help out at my local drop off centre for the Santa Shoebox Project. It was a really fun 3 days and I have huge respect for the ladies who organised this event. Our drop off centre ran like a well oiled machine. Every things we, […]
