It was a very interesting thing to do [...]

Just wanted to scribble down in cyberspace a few feelings about money this morning.
As a former evangelical Christian I used to strongly believe that to acquire and sit on pots of money was wrong: sinful in fact. Jesus told us to share and encourages us to look upon the acquisition of wealth as something to [...]

For those of you who think this blog is going to be about clothes and retail, then read no more. This blog concerns the drudge that many of us feel and face at some point in the week: the weekly food shop.
The grocery trawl, as I used to think of it, is the one job I could [...]
