We all do purchases. It could for daily needs, some for long term and some for luxury. Interestingly , I used to wonder if a purchase is worth the price. It need to be luxurious items like cars or high end smartphones but could...

pumpkinjam First it would depend whether it was something I wanted or something I needed. Then it would depend on affordability and budget. I enjoy board games, which can be quite expensive. But I thought about it and realised it is a good investment. Yes, it might cost...

Hello, I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I've been enjoying the lovely weather and the opportunity to get out and in it.
On many a Saturday, I'll not know what to do with myself. I've not had that problem recently as I've...

The other day I was thinking about when I was a kid, and my family used to cook gumbo. I'm pretty sure back then it wasn't so expensive to cook. I sure wouldn't try to fix it now, with today's prices. There were so many types of...

pumpkinjam I've heard of it but don't think I've tried it. The pictures I have seen of it do look nice. I think I've had similar things. I do enjoy trying new things and have been on the lookout for something I'd not tried yet. Perhaps my next thing to try with have to...

I have been hearing the question a lot of times and I am seeing couples who have age gaps between them , does age really matters when you are in a relationship?
They say that as you age , you become matured enough to handle a...

I prepared potato and dal curry today but I did not remove the skin. It was sheer laziness as the maid is on leave.
But I consoled myself as I understand potato skin has nutrition. One can easily rmove the skin while eating....

pumpkinjam I really like potato skin, and almost always cook potatoes with the skin on. My mum would always peel them (except for jacket/baked potatoes). The skin is good for you. I don't know when or why I stopped peeling. It's quite possible that I was being lazy! I...

How often do you do online shopping? For me, it was almost last year that I had bought anything. More than 12 months now. What's your average duration of online shopping?

pumpkinjam I do most of my grocery shopping online. Partly because I really hate going to the supermarket but also because I don't have a car. If I go to the shops, I will not be able to get all the things I need. If I shop online, I don't have to worry about being able...

Ever wondered how much age influences the choices we make and the experiences we gather along the way? Age can be a guiding force in life, shaping our decisions in profound ways. Whether it's the career path we choose, the...

pumpkinjam I haven't really wondered how much age is an influence. However, I was having a discussion with my husband and eldest son (age 24) about age and life experience. The discussion began about a 22-year-old becoming the youngest MP (member of parliament in the UK....

pumpkinjam I have seen it once. I think I was watching things from the year I was born, and this happened to be one of them. I don't remember it very well, though. I don't think I really understood it at the time. I was probably watching it while half asleep! I might get...

pumpkinjam I have two sons currently looking for jobs. They are both finding it impossible. The older one is educated to Master's degree. He was asked (by someone supposedly employed to help people find work) why he was applying for 'menial' jobs. He explained that it...

Breakfast -...

pumpkinjam Yesterday, I had Wheat biscuits for breakfast, a small ice-cream in the afternoon, then I had Mexican food in the evening. I would normally have more during the day but I had been out delivering leaflets, and I didn't want to fill myself up as I knew I was...
