It’s Christmas and the perfect time to be thinking about holidays. It’s not like there’s anything else I do should be getting on with right? Mark Warner are looking for bloggers to be their holiday ambassadors. I think I would be brilliant at this – but then in my mind I’m brilliant at most things. […]

I was going to make this a top 5 list but I could only think of 4. That’s what a hopeless romantic I am. I’d like to point out that I am not getting divorced but if I ever do get married and then go on to get divorced it will probably be for one of […]
