But surely, we’re being slightly premature, we’ve only just into November, for crying out loud! Well, if you want to make a proper Christmas Pudding, you need to get in early.

Commuting to work. It's up there with the weather and colds are some of our favourite things to complain about.

So what supplies do you need to keep well-stocked over the next few months?

Ok, so you might think that finding a gift for under £20 isn’t so much of a ginormous ask – there’s plenty of ideas out there, right? Ok, we concede that this may be the case, but we’d also like to point out that just because you’ve got plenty of choice, this doesn’t mean you have to spend more than you should on your Christmas present buying. Or give someone a boring gift. That would be a crime against Crimbo.
Hello October! Hello Halloween! Ok, so it’s not quite October just yet, but there’s no harm in planning early, right?

There’s nothing wrong with the homemade option, but whether you want to get crafty and creative or play it safe with their favourite character option, here are a few ideas for this year’s spookfest…
For many, reading is an enjoyable past time. In theory, perhaps. I don’t mean reading isn’t necessarily enjoyable, but it’s more a question of when we actually have the time to do it. Even if we’ve got a few hours spare after a long day at work, sometimes our brains are just too exhausted to even think about picking up a paperback. So how can we foster that love of reading again?
