THINGS YOU HATED AS A KID BUT LOVE AS AN ADULT

  1. Having nothing to do

As a child, you would sit there and complain that you’re bored and have nothing to do, whilst your friend James is off climbing a mountain with his family.

Then came along John.  John was definitely nothing special, he was batting way above his weight with his Continue reading “Finding Mr & Mrs Right: The leftover couple”
