    Fashion Icons of Racing Season

    Spring is on it’s way (although it has suddenly gone cold again, but I saw Daffodils in the supermarket today and that is a sign that brighter days are just around the corner.) With the arrival of Spring it will soon be time for ladies day season, as the big horse racing events arrive and are circled on the calendar. Ladies Day’s bring an opportunity to wear a beautiful dress, a rather ostentatious hat and have a little bit of sporting fun. From the Cheltenham Gold Cup, to the Grand National, from Glorious Goodwood and the Derby, and of course, not forgetting Royal Ascot and it’s rather strict dress rules,…

    There can be many reasons why you might be refused finance when you it comes to buying a new car. Bad credit can be a no-no, as can County Court Judgments or being found bankrupt. All these are perfectly understandable, although very frustrating if you find yourself in this position.

    A Valentine’s gift idea from Snapfish

    With Valentine’s Day creeping up on us (I know, who stole the year so far), it is that time when we start to think about beautiful gift ideas for our loved ones.
