Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It’s a shame when companies that you think will offer better quality and good customer service don’t quite live up to expectations. And especially so when that company is a ‘Great British Company’ such as Marks & Spencers. It was a simple request, my mum wanted to buy a certain item of clothing (I can’t...

I think most people have a moan about British Rail from time to time and I’m sure out here in West Wales we have our fair share of cancelled and late trains.# However I did get a really good deal with them the other day. My mum is coming to stay and as usual is...
They say some silly things on the News sometimes and actually give very little information.

3rd October 2009 Our second night of Moth Trapping. It started out really windy so I lashed the trap to a breeze-block to stop it from blowing away.

We went to the garden centre at the weekend and seeing as I’d only had toast for breakfast I decided that a cooked breakfast was in order. I know it isn’t the healthiest choice, but it is the best value for money especially as it comes with a pot of tea! It was quite late...
Don’t you think maunfacturers of childrens toys should at least make an effort to get some science right now and then? We bought Morgan a little tub of dinosaurs yesterday as he had been so well behaved for the last few days. We got them out and the dinosaurs themselves didn’t look too bad, they...
