Finding money in an old jacket

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2155) 8 Apr

I haven’t worn my old jacket since the start of last summer. It is a fleece, but is lightweight, and just keeps the chill off me when there is a breeze. I went for a walk today to clear my head during my job hunt. I rummaged...

The helium balloon

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2155) 4 Apr

As far as plastic waste is concerned, my biggest bugbear has to be the helium balloon. Not only is it full of gas, but the balloon itself isn’t biodegradable, and the harm it can cause to wildlife and horses/livestock doesn’t bare...

Work for yourself

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2155) 2 Apr

The freedom you have when working for yourself. Not having to report to anyone on a regular basis. I know there are many disadvantages to running your own business, but on balance I do prefer the perks. Obviously there is more...

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2155) 1 Apr

This month is when my birthday is. It is set to be a hugely enjoyable month I think, as the weather becomes milder here in the UK, and we prepare for the summer. Spring is a great season, but summer is around the corner, and the...

Brightly coloured silks

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2155) 1 Apr
