George at ASDA Ladies Sportswear – It’s properly good!

Following on from our recent Top 5 Fitness Tips from an (ex) Couch Potato, George at ASDA thought I might like to try out some of the sportswear in their amazing value range. So they sent me some. And I tried it on. And I loved it! Honestly, it’s properly great. I’ve tried a variety of items: This Sports Top is a fab stretchy fabric which is perfect for any activity – I love it for cycling in cold weather, it keeps...

Warm Salmon Salad Nicoise – warm, comforting, healthy and a perfect antidote to Christmas richness.

This year has been one of huge change in our house – way back in January Mr littleStuff was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and not being a give-in kind of person he took it is a personal challenge. Since March he has lost over 6 stone in weight, and along the way has re-found his zest for life – and kicked his pancreas into working again. He’s no longer diabetic, and we seem to have almost accidentally re-invented...

NIKE 7 inch Distance Running Shorts – Review

I wrote back in May how Mr LittleStuff spent the first half of the year literally changing his life; losing three stone and getting fit had started to show some major changes in his health. But here we are, 5 months further down the line. And how has he done. Well, how about I tell you that this week he was signed off from all diabetic medication? He has so dramatically changed his health that he has reversed his Type 2 Diabetes, and...

But this year, accompanying the husband on his Road To Good Health, I have managed to stick with it all the way to week 9. But – on the cross-trainer. It...

It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.

A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...

My husband is much less of a man than he used to be. Literally.

My husband is much less of a man than he used to be. Literally.

When you’ve been married for twenty years, it’s rather easy to become… comfortable. You get older, your responsibilities increase with the number of mouths you’re trying to feed, the economy dips and making ends meet gets harder… thank goodness the one thing you’re not worrying about is your relationship. When you’ve been happily married for as long as we have, there’s a real danger you...
