These annual round up posts are often one of my favourites to write, it's so nice to sit and look back at all the trips you've managed in a year and reminisce on the fun, and not so fun, things that happened (Kosovo and my stolen phone charger, I'm looking at you!)

Coping with redundancy #3-Creating a new routine
If you're a regular reader, you'll know I've recently been made redundant.

It's the tomato sauce, I don't like that, so I (and my poor partner who does like pizza) never go out for pizza. Then I discovered Pizza Punks.

How to find a weekend away abroad, on a budget
I was asked recently about how to do a cheap weekend away by someone who hasn't been abroad in a while and really fancies some sun. I started to explain some of the things I do to find a bargain and then realised this would be better as a blog post, so that she (and anyone else who finds it useful) has it to come back and look at when needed. So, here's how to find a weekend … [Read more...]
