Happy Bonfire Night... Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in the United Kingdom. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act Enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. wiki.com




Enjoy Bonfiring tonight as I will also be going to a local Bonfire place at night time :-)

It's official, after halloween the countdown to Christmas starts lol.. Today is the 1st of November, 2018 has gone by soooo quickly I can almost remember what I did this time last year.

Happy New Month to you all, are you in the festive spirit yet or are you just a last minute shopper and don't get in the mood until Christmas Eve???



Also today is World Vegan Day; it is a Month celebrated around the world as a time to recognise how far the vegan movement has come, to highlight how accessible and beneficial a vegan lifestyle can be and to encourage the vegan-curious to adopt veganism by sharing advice, recipes and ideas.



People around the world choose to mark World Vegan Month in an array of different ways. You could host a vegan lunch at work or a vegan dinner party with friends; commit to taking part in vegan outreach in your local community; share your favourite vegan recipes on social media or even challenge your friends, family or work colleagues to go vegan for 30 days.

I like a bit of a challenge so I might try and go Vegan for one week and see how I feel..

Tag us on all social media platforms below if you are vegan or you decide to go for the challenge :-)

Debenhams is preparing to announce a loss of almost £500m for the year to September, its biggest annual loss since it started trading more than 205 years ago.



I really do love to shop at Debenhams, it's my go to store especially for my 3 year old daughter.. Ted Baker being one of my favourite concessions at Debenhams and it will really hurt if my local store closes down.

I mean it's 2018 and majority of our shopping is now done conveniently online with almost all online retailers offering free next day delivery... Especially if you are a working professional, you can just have your items delivered to your work address (very handy) or to your home..


Its a shame that the troubled department store swung to a loss of almost £500m for the year to September 1, its biggest annual loss since it started trading more than 205 years ago, compared to a £59m profit in 2017.
The main drivers for the loss are write downs worth more than half a billion pounds connected to goodwill and store impairments linked to store leases and computer systems.
Like-for-like revenue dropped 2.3pc over the period, while total sales for the year also fell 1.8pc to £2.9bn. 
I'l update if there's more news to this but at the moment, this is all that has been reported.

Today 16th October is World Food day...

 World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The day is celebrated widely by many other organizations concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
The World Food Day theme for 2014 was Family Farming: "Feeding the world, caring for the earth"; in 2015 it was "Social Protection and Agriculture: Breaking the Cycle of Rural Poverty"; in 2016 it is Climate Change: "Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too", which echoes the theme of 2008, and of 2002 and 1989 before that.. wiki.com


World Food Day (WFD) was established by FAO's Member Countries at the Organization's 20th General Conference in November 1979. The Hungarian Delegation, led by the former Hungarian Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Pál Romány, played an active role at the 20th Session of the FAO Conference and suggested the idea of celebrating the WFD worldwide. It has since been observed every year in more than 150 countries, raising awareness of the issues behind poverty and hunger.

Themes

Since 1981, World Food Day has adopted a different theme each year in order to highlight areas needed for action and provide a common focus.
Most of the themes revolve around agriculture because only investment in agriculture – together with support for education and health – will turn this situation around. The bulk of that investment will have to come from the private sector, with public investment playing a crucial role, especially in view of its facilitating and stimulating effect on private investment.
In spite of the importance of agriculture as the driving force in the economies of many developing countries, this vital sector is frequently starved of investment. In particular, foreign aid to agriculture has shown marked declines over the past 20 years.iki.com

World Egg Day  is celebrated around the world and helps to raise awareness of the benefits of eggs and their importance in human nutrition.

World Egg Day was established at the IEC Vienna 1996 conference when it was decided to celebrate World Egg Day on the second Friday in October each year.

For centuries, eggs have played a major role in feeding families around the globe. They are an unbeatable package when it comes to versatility and top-quality protein at a very affordable price. And they are also an excellent source of choline, essential in memory and brain development. When you factor in convenience and terrific taste, there is just no competition.

Eggs are one of nature’s highest quality sources of protein, and indeed contain many of the key ingredients for life. The proteins contained within eggs are highly important in the development of the brain and muscles, have a key role to play in disease prevention and contribute to general well being.- source-.internationalegg.com

Eggs are a good source of vitamins A, D, B2, B12, folate and iodine and I love that eggs are very versatile, I probably eat eggs every other day. Check out my youtube channel and I've made a few egg dishes, that's how much I love me some eggs..
Let us know if you make some eggs today by tagging us on all social media platforms below:-

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year.
The day provides an opportunity "for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide". This year's theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is young people and mental health in a changing world. wiki.com

We all need to take care of our mental health and wellbeing whether we have a mental health problem or not.

Happy awareness day today.. Make sure you check on your neighbour, your colleague, friend or family today.. Its important as not many people will speak out.. Check on a loved one today..
