  • Review: Dove Pro Age Hand Cream

    Review: Dove Pro Age Hand Cream

    After loosing a lot of weight a few years back and, thanks to my advancing years too, my hands became more visibility aged – loose skin and age spots appearing. This is on top of the fact that I already suffer from dry skin.

    As a result, for a number of years, I’ve been using hand cream twice a day to try and get them in better shape.

    This is my first review, and is for the Dove Pro Age.

  • Vienna: Wien the team gets together

    Vienna: Wien the team gets together

    Just a few weeks since my last meetup, I’m on the move again. This time it’s my team’s meetup and we’re heading to Vienna in Austria.

    VIP Support in Lisbon. Again.

    Visiting Lisbon 3 times for work obviously wasn’t enough. Or me going last August for a family holiday. So now I’m back, feeling like it was only yesterday.

    Come join me, for flight fun, food frolics and maybe some work related stuff in-between.

  • Return to sender

    Return to sender

    This week I’d ordered a small item from Ninja, which was coming via Royal Mail. I thought it odd that it was being delivered from the Northampton Delivery Office, which was no-where near me.

    Anyway, it was due for delivery on Thursday. An hour after the predicted delivery time I had a message to say it had been delivered. It hadn’t. But there was a confirmation photo.
