Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Off to Egypt next week and I’m getting quite excited. I’m not exactly a seasoned traveller, but who would have though there was so much to do as far as organising a week off was concerned.

It is rare that I get to ‘play’ with some of the more creative applications on my computer. I generally use the same old applications day in day out and the usual suspects are: Photoshop PageSpinner Firefox Mail Netfinder Word FileMaker Pro MoneyDance and maybe a few things like iTunes, some OS X Dashboard Widgets...
Tax return time looms, so I thought it was time to re-assess the way I keep track of my business finances. So, I have recently spent some time on the not very exciting task of finding some decent accounting software to help me keep track of my business income and expenditure. I just couldn’t find...

I’m still under the impression that a £2000 laptop should last more than 20 months and that my statutory rights under the Sale of Good Act covers me for such eventualities over an above any...
Last week while my parents were here we decided to get a bird table! We had been meaning to do so for a while as Morgan likes to watch the birds out of the window, and we quite like it too. Most were too expensive, but thanks to ‘cheap charlies’ we found one in our...
Actually, it has been one of those weeks really. I’ve been suffering all week with yet another flu type bug so I haven’t managed to get much work done resulting not only in a bit of a back-log but also little income. On top of which I had to buy a new computer (Dual Core...
