Should parents still be bailing out their adult ‘kids’?
Every parent expects to spend a fortune on their children when they are at home and dependant on them financially, but what many don’t bank on is the fact that they will still be having to bail out their kids even when they’re all grown up. According to some new research by Scottish Widows, adult children still cost their poor parents about £12,000 a year as they struggle to cope with financial independency.

Condo Loans Becoming Stricter
With the tightening up of mortgage rules and the returning caution of lenders (finally!) we are seeing a throw-back of some of the more vigilant practices that we were once used to.
Cohousing - Is It For You
Along with the move toward smaller housing for smaller (often single parent) families is also coming a move for cohousing communities. It seems nostalgia is returning to the realty market place and some of us are missing the Independence Day Block parties and casual ‘pop-ins’ to the neighbors.
Can the Chaos
The phone rings - you can hear it, but you sure can’t find it. You’re looking for a pen to jot down a number, digging through overstuffed drawers filled with everything except what you need. It’s overwhelming - you’d like to get organized but you have no idea where to start. You feel like the chaos is hopeless. But it’s not - it just looks that way.
The Grass Could be Greener
You probably never thought that your garden could be greener, without adding more water. But these days everyone’s talking about eco-friendly ideas, and yes, your home garden can be part of the solution. The most obvious eco-element is trees, of course. Not only do trees add shade and remove carbon dioxide from the air while producing oxygen, they also help prevent soil erosion.
Making the Most of The Outdoors: Decks
With spring approaching, many of us are dying to get outdoors, some of us are itching to refinish our wooden decks and others of us are resisting the urge to rush out and plant our seeds too early!
Larnaca: from ancient civilisation to tourist destination
Legend has it that the first settlement in the area that became Larnaca (then known as Kition) was founded by Noah’s great-grandson Kittim. At one time Kition was the principal colony in Cyprus, of the ancient civilisation of Phoenicia until becoming part of the Greek Hellenistic world.
Brussels: Chocolate Capital of the World
As the de facto capital of Europe, home to both the EU and the NATO headquarters, it’s fair to say that Brussels plays a vital part in European society and global politics, and if you were asked to name something that makes Brussels famous then its role as the capital of European politics is bound to spring to mind.
Moving Your Outdoors to Your Indoors.
With the idea of more ‘outdoor living’ coming into vogue, many of us are planning to change our interiors so that they can include the outside more easily. Often fads in home design are ignored by many because they are just that: fads. However, the outdoor living idea is being adopted by the majority, perhaps because it is something many of us were already doing.
