A few months have past since my last list of recommendations and I have been dutifuly hammering my kindle to make sure I can recommend the best reads for you. I'm also happy to see that kindle editions on Amazon appear to be returning back to their original bargain price (or cheaper at least) rather than the ridiculous hike toward the latter end of 2015.

The north/south divide. The long running jokes, idiosyncratic differences, language and mentality. It's just grand!

I'm a northerner living down south and have done so for the last 14 years. I love London, that's why I'm here, but there's still a place in my heart for West Yorkshire. There's something about going home that, regardless of where you choose to live, just sparks something inside that needs to be embraced every now and again.

The effect of taking time out from being a gym bunny...

Due to a rather daft incident, one found herself in a position that stopped me from partaking in any 'real' exercise for a few weeks. I've been hitting the gym or getting stuck into a good outdoor workout 4-5 times a week for over 10 years. That includes sticking to it until the day I actually went into hospital to give birth to my 2 children and was back to it within days. It's fair to say, I love it, need it and have found ways of fitting it in to my life that just works.

The best series' ever.... Well, as far as I'm concerned.

They are a talking point among friends, dominate social media #Netflix&chill and are responsible for hours of lost afternoons and serve as hangover fodder. They create such an enthusiastic passion in people and now, none of that waiting next week to see what happens in Desperate Housewives (or on occasion being able to watch E4 for the next one). Now we can watch the whole season as and when we choose. It's convenient, addictive and fits in with our impatient need to not wait a whole week for another measly hour. WTF, that is soooo 2012. So here are my top 5. Agree, disagree or maybe you're not even reading this properly because your watching Making A Murderer... Oh crap, let's make it my top 6.

Sometimes you come across things in life that are just too good not to share and I want to make sure you are 'in' on these beauties. I've scoured the net, shopped, ate (and ate some more), roamed the streets and trialed whatever needed to make sure that you, my lovelies, are informed. Stick with me and I'll make sure I make your life that little bit easier, more fun and keep the economy moving!!
