pumpkinjam @aureategloom I always have done and always will. He's done lots of amateur shows. He had an audition for a BBC show. Sadly, he didn't get it but he did well to get as far as he did. His one professional job was a monster in a Halloween maze that was done in a...

pumpkinjam It has been interesting so far. Watching your kid in a play really depends on the kid and the play My youngest is 19. He's wanted to be an actor since forever. He's even made people actually want to watch school nativity plays

pumpkinjam There are a lot of esseseseses That reminds me of a song called 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas'. It's a very silly song, which I think would amuse you. I think there were supposed to be fireworks for the light switch-on. They got cancelled...

pumpkinjam A fayre might also be a fair. We tend to use fayre for a fete or gathering of stalls whereas we'd use fair more for a funfair with rides or a carnival.

There are times that having challenges in life can break us down. Some people can give up easily because they do not want to pressure themselves. Others will try to resolve them. If not, they can ask for help from reliable...

Like many people, over the years of all the kids being home, Christmas got more and more hectic. More food, more gifts, more wrapping of gifts, more planning, and definitely more exhausting. One day I realized we just didn't enjoy...

Hello. How are you all? I'm groovy. I've had a varied week. Last weekend, my husband and I went to a pub quiz. I was going to the pub to book a Chrismtas meal. As it's a 30 minute walk away, I didn't want to go just to come back...

pumpkinjam Years ago, I did some volunteering with nurseries and play groups but I'd not done anything for some time. I've always been interested in performing arts. I was in a group but, again, hadn't done that for years. My sons both joined the same group more recently...

pumpkinjam @LindaOHio going out to eat isn't friendly on the diet Even if you're careful with your choices, there could be additional ingredients that you don't expect. We'd been out for more meals than we would normally. Every time friends want to meet,...

pumpkinjam @LindaOHio being naughty once in a while is OK but I'd been naughty too many times recently, especially while on holiday! Gammon steak is pork. It's like a really thick piece of lean bacon.

Well, sometimes you review wagyu jerky (a big yes), and sometimes you review vegan jerky. Do you like vegan food? I think you can make a nice vegetable plate with spices that are tremendous! But then, I’ve tried vegan cheese, and...

pumpkinjam I will try most foods, and have made veggie/vegan meals. I sometimes use meat substitutes to cut down on fat in some dishes. While I will make meals that just happen to only use vegan ingredients, I'm not a big fan of some vegan versions of meat flavour...

pumpkinjam @abhi_bangal that's a good point. If a response is needed immediately, I'll usually phone or text. Although, there are some I know who have specific preferred contact methods and will always respond to them.

pumpkinjam @tiwari5485 it's only in recent years that we've had the luxury of saving. I agree it should be a priority if it'spossoble but, for many people, it isn't. I'd get very frustrated (and still do) with people offering budgeting advice to us when we had nothing to...

pumpkinjam @anya12adwi I used to like using my old digital camera (and, before that, a film camera) but it stopped working and I didn't replace it. My phone camera is better anyway! Of course, it also saves carrying so many things around with me. I don't want anything...
