Don’t see the point…..

….in collecting things?

When I was a youngster Icollected novelty erasure’s. I think half of my friends did too. All sorts of shapes, types, sizes and smells. You don’t seem able to buy them like that anymore….or maybe it’s because I’m not looking for them!

But now I’m older, I can’t see the point in housing huge collections of things. Surely they just take up space and get dusty and need cleaning?

My middle son collects coins. Not that it’s any sort of serious hobby, but he likes to pick coins up from around the world. Considering he’s only been to the UK, US and Spain…he doesn’t have very many! But he’s got his eye on a 1927 silver dollar . I’m not sure where he’s seen it or got the idea from but he knows that he wants one!

I think he’ll have to start collecting more than just coins if he wants one!

Titanium the new silver

Friday, February 10th, 2012

A couple of months back I wrote about getting my new hubby a titanium wedding ring. It was really inexpensive, looks good and we’ve both been very happy with it.

Since then, I’ve looked at a few different titanium items and I’m going to treat myself to some titanium earrings. I especially like the hoops. Titanium looks like silver but is really hard-wearing and doesn’t tarnish the way that silver does.

I for one…am sold!

Water, water everywhere!

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Kids love to have a bath, they especially like to have a bath together…well at least my kids do. This was fine while they were little ones who barely filled the bath but now at the ages of 15, 10 and 4 it’s obviously a different story.

Now don’t get me wrong, my 15-year-old does not have baths with his younger siblings but the 4-year-old will, on occasion, jump in with his 10-year-old brother.

It doesn’t happen very often because I can guarantee they will absolutely soak the bathroom and I mean SOAK!! They swim about in the bath like it was a swimming pool…..holding their breath under water, pouring water onto the floor and spraying the walls with the shower. It gets so bad, I’m thinking of installing some swimming pool fencing!

I think the easiest option may be to put a stop to it….sorry kids…no more bath fights!
