A hot tub of my own – where do I sign up?! Unfortunately my own garden is...
Birthday Fun for all the Family at Centre VR

The Audible Books & Podcasts Included in Your Membership Which I’d Recommend
Audiobooks and podcasts are by no means a new phenomenon, they’ve been around a long time now, but they aren’t something I ever really listened to myself until a few months ago, when I was going through a really tough time and listening to self help audio books calmed my mind and helped me feel stronger as I recovered from physical and emotional trauma.

What I’ve Been Watching – January
January is such a long month, isn’t it? It’s long anyway but after the excitement of Christmas, and the build up of December, it feels so anticlimactic and flat, especially with the grey British weather and the long wait for payday. This month I’ve been watching a fair bit more tv than before, as I haven’t had the money or inclination to go out much. Here’s what I’ve been watching...

A Visit to Centre VR in Bournemouth

VR is not something I thought...
Why You Should Consider Distance Learning
Sponsored Post When I was in sixth form, I couldn’t wait to leave school. I remember being adamant that I wouldn’t go to uni, something my all girls grammar school was less than impressed with. In the end my mum, who is herself a teacher, persuaded me to apply to university, and I ended up doing a four year Events Management degree at my local uni. It turned out that...
