Silver earings for sale

My mother used to tell me how valuable gold was and always asked me to collect gold as it had a resale value. She'd much rather get gold than diamonds although diamonds are also, ahem....very nice. She was absolutely right as when a friend of mine introduced me.......click to learn what next.

Why blogging is slow these days

Posted on September 24, 2009September 24, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

In the past, I'd spend up to 16 hours a day on the computer. Those were the days when big bucks were to be made. Now, I'm lucky if I get to spend half an hour every 2-3 days and it's not because of the money. I just.......click to learn what next.

Late Pregnancy Tiredness

Posted on July 22, 2009July 16, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

You know, tiredness (and drained, fatigued, dead beat, exhausted, worn-out, bushed) are really not the appropriate words to describe what we pregnant women experience at 8 months. It is more like all those words put together and then multiplied by a thousand. With having to wake up several.......click to learn what next.

Ambitious work schedule failed

Remember the time I had such dreams of working hard? To put it bluntly, I failed in my first week. Yeah, I’m no super hero. I just like fantasising, ya’know! Instead of working 40 hours last week, I put in 9 hours on Monday (6 hours whilst Tee.......click to learn what next.

Blog diarrhea day

Posted on June 28, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I don't know why but in my last month of pregnancy, I seem to be having lots of diarrhea. If it's not food poisoning, it's my medicine affecting my bowels, or perhaps it's just the insurmountable hormonal rush within my body right now. Even my blog is having.......click to learn what next.

Gardens Premier Washrooms
