Ten reasons to get a cat!

I don’t really have this many reasons, other than it’s a catchy title and works to get the views… 😉

I had always wanted to get a cat since I’d moved and owned my own house and it was on the ‘list’. I have lots of lists and I always feel satisfied when ticking something off.

So, a cat was on the cards, but it wasn’t until I met my girlfriend that she got the ball rolling. We couldn’t have a dog as we’re both working during the day and it’s cruel to leave it and not good for the psyche of the dog.

A cat on the other hand is fairly independent, you provide it with food and water and a place to sleep and it will be content and provide you with satisfaction through purring and being soft and cuddly and something to talk to without sounding like you’re going crazy!!

So if anyone asks, gets a cat! Ours is faulty though as it squeaks and doesn’t meow so I may need to file an RMA for it to be replaced soon.

Quality of Life is Everything

Over the last year I’ve learnt a lot about myself and how to enjoy life better. Without going in to too much detail I will bullet point the facts!

Distance you commute to work; I commute 10 miles a day. 15 minutes to work/15 minutes back. So all you recruiters offering a job in Peterborough or London… I’m not interested. And remember how the old saying goes “work for a living”
Money isn’t everything – the money I’m saving on not paying the extra on petrol to commute is real… Time is also money. I’d rather spend time not working but on hobbies and other tasks than working
Look after plants and tend a garden if you have one. Time in the sun is your natural source of Vitamin 10. You will feel happier and more relaxed and not so stressed!
Focus on saving money for a house deposit and not spending so much on rent! It’s cheaper than you may think and there are several government incentives to assist (Help to Buy, ISA planes etc)
Fitness and Health. I 5BX every day and try my best to eat 5 Fruit/Veg every day!
My girlfriend (who I’ve been with 10 months now) is amazing and has taught me to take a load off and chill!

The inevitable consequences of generic tattoos

I like tattoos but if you have not realized the ink with which you will get permanently etched into your skin is not removable. This leads me to ask why do people get generic tattoos? They’re going to be there for the rest of your life so you may as well have something that isn’t relating to a relationship or a letter in Chinese (that probably is incorrect anyway) or a tribal pattern that you picked out of a catalogue.

But don’t let me stop you wasting good money….
