Is it a bird? Is it a Plane, is it even a sleeping bag?…No, its a SLPY!

Oh my – this is something you’re going. to. LOVE. The SLPY, at first glance, is a sleeping bag; a sleeping bag with a few extra zips and flaps. But it is so much more. The SLPY is a wearable sleeping bag that looks great and keeps you warm. It comes in all kinds of crazy cool colours (Pink, Orange, White, Blue, Green and Black… I went for the brilliantly vibrant Orange). But what sets the SLPY apart from a normal...

Pet Insurance – our top tips on buying it.

I’ve spoken at length on Pet Insurance in the past – it’s a bit of a bug bear of mine (it’s an occupational hazard when you have a large and accident-prone uncoordinated dog who is damaged so often she thinks the vet’s is a social club…).

Can’t get Fitter than a Fitbit Fitter!

The FitBit Flex is a slim, stylish device that is with you all the time. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Overall a very clever piece of kit. The Flex consists of two separate parts – the sensor and the strap. It doesn’t include an LED display like its predecessor the FitBit “One” but that does allow it to be smaller, sleeker...

Open your bills, people! Read them!

A very long time ago now, the husband and I were in a spot of financial bother. Neither of us earned very much, debts were managed rather than paid off… and then one of us lost our job… and so things began to spiral. Having debt and money worries is a sickeningly heavy weight that darkens every waking hour of the day. It’s an eternal thumbscrew, a metal lid on your brain that sits too tight and squeezes every thought. And it’s a...

NIKE 7 inch Distance Running Shorts – Review

I wrote back in May how Mr LittleStuff spent the first half of the year literally changing his life; losing three stone and getting fit had started to show some major changes in his health. But here we are, 5 months further down the line. And how has he done. Well, how about I tell you that this week he was signed off from all diabetic medication? He has so dramatically changed his health that he has reversed his Type 2 Diabetes, and...
