Autumn is here and whilst I love the season for those cool, crisp, clear Autumn days, it also means it is time to dig out the warmer clothing and wrap up warm.  At what point do you put your heating back on?  One of our friends will target a date (e.g. 1st October) and stoically won’t budge until then.  On the opposite side of the scale, some family members don’t really turn off their heating at all although they will have their thermostat set to about 22°C.

Today is my 11th year since I stepped into the UK. I have a lot of good and bad memories during these years. Reflecting on it, it has been a painful journey of learning as an adult. I was very well protected and looked after by my parents and was not very well house trained – I didn’t know how to cook a normal meal, wash clothing and do simple DIY.

Yesterday, Sally from tots100 had posted a couple of questions on a Facebook group regarding online safety: do we use specific software or restrictions; is there anything we would like to know about how to keep kids safe online; and anything we wish the industry would do to make parents’ lives easier?

My husband is a real badminton nut and he plays his sport every week without fail.  He is currently looking at improving his skills and updating his gear. This is written by him about the Yonex Demo Event he went to.
