LIFESTYLE / Buying a house – getting started
 Welcome to my new mini series! I'm going to start by saying this post is going to be long and definitely more on 'functional' side of things you're likely to read in the blogosphere, however it may also help you immensely when taking those first tentative steps in to a house that you're considering… Continue reading LIFESTYLE / Buying a house – getting started

LIFESTYLE/ 5 Things for 2018: the home stretch
The final quarter of the year is officially in session...well THAT came around fast!

LIFESTYLE/ I tried Boom Bod, and this is what happened…
My name is Jenny Chat and I'll buy things I see online with very little thought other than "ooh wow, yes please!" My latest impulse purchase came in the form of the latest 'weight loss aid' Boom Bod, promoted by reality stars and US Instagram stars. For 7 days you take a small 'shot' (blackcurrant… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ I tried Boom Bod, and this is what happened…
LIFESTYLE/ Hayfever hacks
This may seem like a bit of an odd (or maybe even boring) post to some of you, however to others it may just make the next few months a whole lot easier!
