Singles – celebrate on Valentine’s Day!!

Posted on 11th February 201911th February 2019 by Christine Ingall

Singletons should not try to ignore Valentine’s Day, but try to claim back what was once OUR DAY. Anyone born after about 1980 probably doesn’t know that Valentine’s Day was specifically devised so that singletons could hook up. It was the custom on14 February each year for anyone without a partner to shyly, and often[…]

Show breast cancer and yourself some respect by helping to find it early

Posted on 6th February 20196th February 2019 by Christine Ingall

What is the most common type of cancer in the UK, killing about 12,000 people a year, who are predominantly over 50 years old and with no family history of the disease? I reckon you will have guessed I’m talking about breast cancer, but are you familiar with all the above facts? I’m already in[…]

Singletons don’t miss out on the good life

Posted on 31st January 2019 by Christine Ingall

People who are single, it appears, are thriving – despite never having had the social and financial advantages of marriage, a rite of passage that is celebrated globally, and which automatically bestows adult status and maturity.

Still blue after Blue Monday? Start being grateful.

Posted on 24th January 2019 by Christine Ingall

Were you suffering from Blue Monday at the start of this week? If yes, I hope you were able to get over it in one day. You may have booked the day off for wallowing in misery and self-pity; celebrated the day by eating ‘blue foods’ (blueberries in everything?); taken part in ‘beat the blues’[…]

For a fresh start in January, clear out a cupboard!

Posted on 15th January 2019 by Christine Ingall

I’d been talking to myself about it for ages. Well, just about every time I opened a cupboard door, especially in the kitchen. Where’s the…..? I thought I had……. If I could just reach…. It wasn’t that the insides of the cupboards were untidy –they were just stuffed full, mainly with stuff I hardly used[…]

Looking back on 2018 – a year of firsts

Posted on 3rd January 2019 by Christine Ingall

What are the highlights of your 2018? I bet one of them wasn’t, like me, playing a cowardly stoat, as pictured. I like taking stock and reviewing the previous 12 months. It’s good to identify what you could have done better. But, more importantly, it’s a time to tot up your successes and give yourself[…]

Posted on 20th December 2018 by Christine Ingall

Have you ever made a new-year resolution and not been able to stick to it? Given up after a few days of agony or in the face of temptation? Of course you have. We all have! But I think there are reasons for these failures that have nothing to do with temptation or poor resolve.[…]

My panto season is over! Oh yes it is!

Posted on 17th December 2018 by Christine Ingall

Back in October, I told you about the problems I was experiencing as a panto Director: primarily that I had lost all but two of Snow White’s, famously SEVEN, dwarves. In fact I had only managed to recruit five to start with! When I say ‘lost’ I don’t mean mislaid somewhere. I’m talking about people[…]

Posted on 12th December 2018 by Christine Ingall

I’m not a “Bah! Humbug!” old Scrooge or Grinch about Christmas. There are at least 10 things about Christmas that I love, and those who read last week’s blog will know what they are. But there are things that get up my nose, and none more so than the one at the top of the[…]

Let’s get chatting – to a stranger!

Posted on 28th November 2018 by Christine Ingall

Do you go for a tea or coffee on your own sometimes? On those days when you do pop into a local café, would you go and sit at a table designated especially for people, probably on their own, who fancy/need a chat, if it was offered to you? Through the Chatty Café Scheme, such[…]
