Rein Yourself In, Or Let the Chips Fall
What do you do; have a healthy diet, exercise, or spending habits; or Do you LET THE CHIPS FALL and devil take the hindmost. What do you do and how is it working for you? I constantly vacillated from one to the other with a lot of anxiety about a few extra pounds, some lack of muscle […]
Isn’t it about time that the Bank of Mum and Dad closed down?

Benefiting, if you could call it that, from the Thatcher revolution in the housing market ( if you can call selling off all of the country’s council housing stock, a revolution ).

A few reminders from our childhood…….thought it was worth sharing…….. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE OF US BORN IN 1930’s, 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and Early 80’s !!! First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn’t […]

Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it… Don’t waste on exercise. […]
Thinking of Manchester
