Almost April 2019

Hello, thank you for viewing my blog; please do not forget to subscribe via email to be kept up to date with any additional posts.


At the top of my blog I have added a number of local charities that I have supported and have been supported by that are near to my home town.  I am a strong believer that charity begins at home and I am looking at setting up my own local charity in the future called "The Health Boat."

"The Health Boat" is to help to support the local community of my home town and to branch out to support people with in the midlands.  It is called "The Health Boat" due to everyone being in the same boat at one time or another and that being healthy is the most important thing that I believe helps anyone have a happy and positive life.

My aim is to help to support people in being healthy in Mind, Body, Spirit, home and away.  I aim to do this by selling Vegan products and items that are sold, made and produced within the UK. With the money raised to help to support people to help them self's.

To support other I would be looking at working in partnership with other local charities, services, business, training embellishments, the NHS and the local council.

To achieve this I will need the help and support from the local community to get the ball rolling.  For now all I am asking for is for people to like and follow my fakebook page(s) and group(s)

The Health Boat.

It is not a Fad  "It's a life style change."

For more information please contact me.


If you have found any of the information on the bog of interest and would like to make a donation no matter how small please feel free top do so.

This can be done via the Pay pal link below or emailing me direct to get the address to send things to that are displayed on the Wish list.


Thank you for your support.

"When it is not Lemons?"


When it is not Lemons?”


People say “we are what we eat.” but how can this be “when it is not lemons?”

One of the things that I started to do last year was reading the packaging of what I buy, this 

made me look at where I buy things from and how much I spend.


For my main shopping I have been using Tesco's on line and have signed up to a fixed

monthly delivery service that means that I can have a delivery 3 days per week every month

providing I spend £40.00 per delivery.


This year I will shop around and see if I can cut my spending and only buy “lemons” and

 not be Sold a “LEMON.”


So last year I started looking at items and tried to STOP but any thing with Palm Oil in,
 
MSG and Artificial Sweeteners.


I am all for sugar and do not feel comfortable with eating a Chemistry set every meal so the 


more basic the ingrediency the better. (personal chose)

So back to the Lemons, I hate it when something claims to have Lemons in but then it says 

on the packaging, lemon flavouring, lemon essence.


I can not stand in the super market all day reading packaging so I do it at home when the 

boys are a sleep. I also look at who things are packaged to try and reduce the amount of 

products that I buy that have load of packaging that they do not need.


This year I aim to cook more at hoe form fresh so in January 2019 I will do my first shop of 

the year and by December 2019 I aim to reduce the amount of LEMONS I buy, sugar, Palm 

oil, MSG Artificial Sugar and packaging I use.


So the amount I will be spend on my January Shop is…
