As most of you probably know by now, I recently relocated to the Midlands. A few people have asked me why the big move but honestly I don’t have an exact answer. I fancied a change and so just went for it. When I decided to make the move I wasn’t sure how I could make everything work – I couldn’t find a house without a job and I struggled to find a job when I wasn’t permanently located in Birmingham. In the end I ended up in a house share, which I plan to stay in for a few months before finding my own place.
Getting What You Need
Last week I was invited to try out the Bidvine app for size
and I have to say I am really glad I did. Bidvine is perhaps one of the most
handy apps that have been released in a while, I’m confident I’ll be using it
again.
and I have to say I am really glad I did. Bidvine is perhaps one of the most

again.
The idea behind the app is that you find people who can do
jobs for you, quickly and easily. I had a look for photographers, because I’ve
always liked the idea of having professional shots done for the blog – but you
can basically look for almost anything you need. Put in what you’re looking for
(it guides you through with handy sections and sub categories), the area you
are and how much you want to pay and wait for bids to come in.

You can practically look for anything on the app –
photographers, cleaners, handy men, creative people and much more. It’s a London
based app but it’s extending throughout the rest of the UK – I had no problems
getting answers to my query based up in the Midlands, so they must be expanding
pretty well!

I got a text message within an hour of signing up to tell me
someone had sent a bid for the kind of job I needed – which was pretty impressive
as it was around 6:30pm by the time I got round to signing up. The replies I got were really thorough with lots of information, so I can imagine that when it comes to hiring someone for you what you need the decision is made as easy as hassle-free as possible.

I have to say I found the app really easy to use which is a
massive bonus for me. I love ordering stuff online but when an app is fiddly or
time consuming I quickly lose interest. What I also liked is that you can
message people who have sent you bids and ask any questions you have before you
choose to book them for an app, and that has to be a good thing!

What would you search Bidvine for if you were going to use it?

Shopping Sunday: Mens Clothing for Christmas
Mens Clothing for Christmas – I’ve woken up today to a bright sunny morning – in fact it’s pretty warm so I have all the windows open and I’m sat here chilling watching Sunday Brunch. Then I see something on Facebook to remind that Christmas is 6 weeks away. 6 WEEKS! How does that even happen? Sorry if I’m the one to remind you of this case, I know I wasn’t that impressed to see it on Facebook this morning.

The Big Move (Sort of) Down South
For those of you have that have been following my blog for a while, you’re know that I started blogging when I lived in London. Although I am originally from down south by family moved up north when I was 21 and I soon followed… I loved living up North but I missed living in a big city so 4 years I moved to London.
I loved every single minute of living in London, it’s definitely a place that has a special place in my heart. Even now when I visit I get an excited feeling as soon as I hit Euston, I can’t explain it at all but it is definitely a place I would consider home. Sadly, London life is just too expensive for me and so after 24 glorious months I moved back home. I’ll be there next week for the British Plus Size Awards though – YAY!
I loved being near to my family again and actually it turned out to be the best 2 years I could have been at home. I can’t even begin to tell you how close I am to my family and living with them for the past 2 years was exactly what I needed, I couldn’t and wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else…. but things change and it was time to move on!
I couldn’t possibly afford to live in London until I win the lottery, so I decided to pick Birmingham! When I announced that I was going to make the move to The Midlands lots of people asked me why but honestly the only reply I could give was why not?
I have been to Birmingham a few times, I’ve a few friends dotted around nearby but nothing that ties me here – I wanted a fresh start and The Midlands proved to be it.
And so here I am!
I’ve now been here a month and I am really enjoying it! Being a grown up again is tough – having to consider things like bills, an actual proper food shop, home security etc – but you know what I really like it. I’ve fallen into a new job I really like, I’ve attended a few blogger events and starting to get really settled.
One thing I have really started to give more thought to is making my home secure. At the moment I am in a house share but the start of next year I hope to get into my own flat and really settle. I’ve been giving lots of thoughts of alarm systems, keeping out burglars and generally protecting my home.
I guess I have been lucky that this has always been someone else responsibility before, but now it’s time for me to give it some thought! Thankfully the internet has proved really helpful in this so I feel like I could be well-versed enough to be sorted when I am ready to move into my own place. It goes without saying that having a burglar alarm fitted is something that comes recommended.
There seem to be a few blogger events in Birmingham so you might see a bit of a turn in the content I offer here, but I think that’ll make a nice change. I’m looking forward to meeting some news faces and building a new life here in Brummie land.
