With the
leaves now thick on the ground and the weather turning colder and wetter, my
mind this month turned to indoor activities. In the first of my ‘Winter Outing’
series I reviewed some of the attractions keeping their doors open for the
winter season. Suggestions included the Horniman Museum, the Jorvik Centre,
Leeds Castle and a selection of English Heritage properties. Remember to look
out for the great value membership deals for English Heritage, allowing
unlimited visits to their properties for a whole year. Look out too for more
featured winter attractions in my December blogs.
Christmas
shopping has now started in earnest and this month I explored the voucher
options and ‘No Wrap Gifts’. Animal adoption schemes and magazine subscriptions
may not be the first things that you think of when choosing gifts, but they
certainly make a welcome change.
Of course,
I have continued to review a number of products including skincare items and
limited edition products such as Marmite Gold (doesn’t work for me) and Carling
Zest with Spiced Orange (love it).
November
also saw me take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about Chef Square Shaped
Soups, Milk Tray bars, Chillo ice cream mix and the old style British Home
Stores. I’d love to hear about your shopping related nostalgia, so let me know

My big
project of the month has been to attempt to spread awareness of Hypermobility
Syndrome, a condition that I suffer from, that can be very painful and
debilitating. It’s a much misdiagnosed, mismanaged and misunderstood condition;
