I recently saw Who Gives A Crap advertised online and decided to give them a try. I mainly decided to give them a try for two reasons:
They work out cheaper than buying from the supermarkets.
They do home delivery, this makes my life easier, as having vasculitis I’m finding it difficult to carry a lot of shopping around.
I ordered their The Lil’ Bundle for £51.20 (including postage and packing) which came with:
24 rolls of Bamboo Toilet Paper
12 boxes of Forest Friendly Tissues
6 rolls of Forest Friendly Kitchen Towels
A small photographic sample of what I received.
I was a bit worried about how strong bamboo toilet roll and the kitchen towels would be. I detest having toilet paper or kitchen towels that fall apart when they get wet or when you’re trying to use them.
I need not have worried though, because the people behind Who Gives A Crap have really put quality at the heart of what they do. I am incredibly pleased all of the products.
As an added bonus, as well as being friendly to the environment, 50% of Who Gives A Crap’s profits go towards ensuring clean water and toilet facilities for the poor. So not only do you get a quality product (with really cool packaging), but that warm fuzzy feeling of doing something good inside.
The only thing I’d change is their website. It gives you 20% of bundles, but only three bundle options. What if you need toilet rolls, but no kitchen roll? It would be great to save the 20%, but to have more bundles to choose from.
I just ordered this gorgeous black Tourmaline chunk crystal from The Crystal Inn. They sell a wide range of crystals, so if like me you’re into crystals go check them out. Looking for a specific type or size of crystal? Contact The Crystal Inn.
Black Tourmaline is good for grounding, aura cleansing, balancing and protection. I’m going to put this beautiful crystal next to my bed, so that it can work its magic while I sleep.
I’ve had a hankering for a TARDIS for quite some time. The problem is that they are hard to find. All TARDIS toys have become collectables and are ridiculously priced for what they are. But then I found this Facebook group. I was lucky enough to find someone who builds bespoke TARDIS’ to order.
Here is my new TARDIS, which I’ve named Sexy:
I am over the moon with it. The craftmanship is incredible. I was so lucky in finding this wonderful man who did such an amazing job.
I tend to keep my files (documents, photos, music & video) on WD external hard drives. I don’t use cloud storage, as I dislike subscription services and their ever increasing prices. Plus, I have a lot of files, so it gets expensive and relies too much on the internet. One of the pluses of external hard drives are that they are portable, so I can physically share larger files with family/friend easily.
But there are minuses with my current system. First transfers for larger files can be slow, second that there’s always a chance of hard drive failure – particularly with external hard drives that have moving parts, like the ones I’m currently using. So I decided that it was time to upgrade to SSD (solid state drives), which boast faster transfer speeds and no moving parts. Think of them as large capacity pen drives.
I opted for two different branded 4TB models, one a Samsung T7 Shield (4TB) and the other SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (4TB). The reason I opted for the Samsung drive is trust in the brand. The reason I opted for SanDisk was because of the colour.
It may sound odd, but different colours enable me to identify my drives more easily. I did try to get a Samsung T7 Shield in blue (in desperation I even considered beige) but both blue and beige 4TB models were out of stock everywhere.
It’s tiny. It literally fits in the palm of my hand, see image above.
Its firmware was up-to-date. This was a nightmare to check, SanDisk’s website is easy enough to find to check. But seeing the tiny serial number on the back of the device I found difficult.
It feels nice in the hand and has a hole for attaching to backpacks, not that I’ll ever use this feature.
It was easy to set up.
It gets very hot during use.
It is much faster than my previous hard drive.
I am concerned about failure or data loss as I found this video online when looking for reviews of the product, after I bought the product and was waiting delivery. I probably wouldn’t have bought this product had I have known this information prior to purchase:
Click here to display content from YouTube. Learn more in YouTube’s privacy policy.
I decided based on this video to use this drive up as a back up one, rather than a main drive as originally intended.
It is USB C but comes with a USB B adapter for those that might require it.
Practically silent operation.
Very good when multitasking.
There are a range of cases you purchase to keep the device in.
The Z-Virus mutates people’s DNA. The majority of infected people become zombies, but a minority seem immune but the virus causes them to develop powers.

Forced with no other choice, one group goes in search of a cure. But will they survive the roaming zombie hordes long enough to make an epic journey across the country to find the cure?
Join Alexis, Vis, Chan, Luke, Natalie, Grace, Chloe, Kyle, David and Goliath on this journey in Z-Virus Powers, the first instalment of this three part story.

My dear friend Roy decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and enlist in the Royal Navy.
I wanted to maintain our friendship, to continue to support Roy, to make him laugh and to entertain him. So I came up with the idea of sending him a weekly email on random topics.
These emails were on a variety of topics, always being entertaining, sometimes being interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally being serious.
Topics included: Jokes, Puzzles, Inspirational Quotes, Future Technology to Be Excited About, How to Fight A Shark, How to Woo A Turtle, Some of the Most Amazing Jobs in the World, Facts About Castles, Do Aliens Exist?, The Kindest Humans, A List of Cakes, 13 Weird Body Facts, 20 Super Space Facts, Ancient Egyptian Curses, 10 Weird Olympic Games, The Great Emu War of 1932, Quiz: Flags of the World, Legendary Characters from the UK and others.
My Royal Navy Friend is a copy of these emails. In total, there are 52 emails. Dispersed throughout the book are also Royal Navy facts and stories.
