I’m a bit late with this week’s Living Arrows post and if you read on I’m sure you’ll forgive me! I mentioned at the end of last week’s post that Barry and I were going to London this weekend… well we did make it there but it wasn’t quite the weekend we’d planned! Read more
Well November has disappeared in the blink of an eye hasn’t it? I think it’s probably because as soon as Halloween was over everyone immediately started on with full on Christmas preparations and it’s as if November just didn’t really exist! Read more

For kids, Christmas is a magical, mesmerising and enchanting time. Waiting for the arrival of Santa, opening their advent calendars and watching Christmas films, December is such an exciting month. While the same is true for parents, the festive season is also a little hectic and very busy. With so much to do, from planning the Christmas dinner to organising family visits, it can be easy to forget people from the present list. Read more
So this is the last Living Arrows of November, and there are only 5 more to go before the end of the year! I sound like broken record but I am constantly amazed at how fast this last few months of the year is going.

Or rather my parents did – thanks for the early Christmas present! Read more

I’m always on the lookout for Christmas gifts for Toby and Gabe that are not only fun but will help them learn too. They are both eager to learn how to tell the time (although Gabe doesn’t really understand it too well at the moment) and are always looking at the clocks in our house and asking what time it is. There are lots of children’s watches available – F.Hinds has some great ones and as an added bonus there is 15% off everything on their site until 27th November.

As we head towards Christmas I always start thinking about how expensive it can be, and if we’ll be struggling to pay the bills come January. There are loads of ways you can save money on your household bills though, and the New Year is a great time to look at your expenses and see if you could be spending less. Read more
I first tried Exante back in 2014. The first time I followed the Total Solution plan and lost 6lb in one week. Since then I have also tried the Flexi Solution and used Exante products to follow a 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. Read more
