Hay fever - it is quite annoying

This year is especially bad for hay fever as I have mentioned several times now. It is really, really annoying me now though. I have tried almost everything I can think of:


  • Local honey
  • Showering every evening to wash pollen out of my hair
  • Not drying my clothes outside when there is a high pollen count
  • Lozenges for my throat
  • One a day non-drowsy hay fever tablets
  • Piriton
  • Beconaze
  • Gargling with salt water
  • Keeping windows shut at night
It is doing my head in now. I just don't know what else to do. As I sit and type this I am having trouble seeing because I want to rub my eyes some more. I want to stick a knife up my nose and have a good scratch and I want to tear my throat out because it is so itchy. I am also fed up with my ears as several times a day I can feel an itch in there too. It is so annoying!

I really hate this time of year. We have just got over the tree pollen and now we are on to the grass season. It doesn't help that outside where I work they just cut the grass and our office windows were open so I have had a bad effect from that today.

I just can't wait for August/September time as that is when a lot of my symptoms go away. Right now I am looking at another 6 weeks at least of hell. I just get so fed up with it and honestly it gets me down a lot of the time. Do you have a way of dealing with hay fever that works for you? What is it? I need to know your secrets!

First time buyer - timeline and advice

Having just bought our first house I can tell you it can be confusing if you don't know when certain things need to happen. How can you put an offer in if you don't have a mortgage? How do you know how much mortgage you need if you don't have an offer accepted? When do you pay and how does it all work? Here is how we did it and this worked really well. Save Get your deposit sorted. House prices change all the time but keep your eye on costs and build up your deposit. I had 10% saved up and used that alongside mortgage calculators (see links in below item) to work out what we could borrow and afford to pay each month. This works the other way too and they can help you work out how much you need for a deposit. There are schemes which require only a 5% deposit ( Help to Buy ) but it is advisable to save up before approaching this scheme too. Remember, you will have to afford mortgage payments and payments to the provider too. Also bear in mind additional costs such as

Why we need International Women's Day

There are so many reasons why we need International Women's Day. Here are just a few reasons why this day is so important. Pay gap: Between 1997 and 2015 the pay gap remained the same . As wages appeared to rise the gap stayed the same between men and women. Last year it was reported that the gap was so wide that from 9 November until the end of 2015 women were effectively working for free ! Exact details are hard to put here because there are so many different sources, but the facts in the articles linked above speak for themselves. Rape statistics: Around 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales every year! That is shocking statistics. The sad fact is that many victims of rape will know their attacker and they are often not strangers. Victim blaming means that many people worry about the reaction of others should they come forward and many more rapes are not reported. Yes it would appear that more women than men are raped and that is very likely the case

My favourite...Japanese actors and actresses

I am going to use the naming convention that the Japanese do where the family name goes first and the given name goes second. I thought I would go into more detail about some of my favourite actors and actresses from Japan and some of my favourite films/TV shows that they have been in. These are my opinions and the information is as correct as I could find where I didn't know something myself. Copyright images/videos where they should be. Sato Takeru Born: 21 March 1989 (age 26 at time of writing) From: Iwatsuki-ku, Saitama Sato Takeru Sato was in senior high school in Tokyo when talent agency Amuse Inc scouted him. He made his acting debut in 2006 in the ‘drama’ (lose sense of the word) ‘Princess Princess D’. He really gained a following after appearing in the ‘Kamen Rider Den-O’ series on TV and in the films. In 2009 he appeared alongside his stable mate and real life best friend, Miura Haruma, in the drama ‘Bloody Monday’ which ended up running into a second s
