A few months ago we decided that to stop us spending a fortune on new games, and to play things that we wouldn’t necessarily have bought, we’d get PSNow. As we play through the games when they’re added, I’m going to give them a bit of a review and let you know what we thought … Continue reading December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)

Getting Creative with Lego
I've always enjoyed Lego. As a kid, I had two huge boxes full of the stuff (I still have these).

I’m the kind of person that will just suffer in silence and get on with things, and part of what helped me do that was work. So, when it came to the point … Continue reading My Bipolar Life (A Long Post)
