    2021 in a nutshell: Reaching goals then (sugar) crashing

    Time flies when you’re having fun, or when you get older, or just in general really. It’s time for another year in review already and I’m incredulous, just like I am every year. So, last year I did a review of 2020 and stated I was only going to make goals for 2021 that I…

  • Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    I’m so bored of being stuck at home and not working. There. I SAID IT. I was furloughed from April and have been made redundant now and am still furloughed, until mid-October when I’ll finally be free. I won’t discuss my feelings on that now, but I am looking forward to moving on to something…

  • Pandemic Lessons: Self Approval

    Pandemic Lessons: Self Approval

    You have been criticising yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. Louise L. Hay Yesterday I had confirmation that my furlough has been extended through June. This was of course right before the government announced they were extending the scheme four more months, through October. After July…

  • My own nest

    My own nest

    2019 so far has been a bit of a snoozefest, literally! Poor hubby was sick with a nasty flu over New Year and (knock on wood) I haven’t gotten it, but we are both feeling a little rundown and meh. I’ve done a few bits around the house, namely cleared out the lounge and rearranged…

  • Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    I’m home for what feels like forever and it’s only week 3 and I’m already tired of watching telly and sitting on the sofa and I have another 3 weeks of this?! I have a stack of books to read, which I’m thankful for. I’ve already read Alice by Christina Henry, which I loved. It’s…

  • Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

    My last update was a bit dreary wasn’t it? It feels like forever ago! I’m glad to say I’m feeling somewhat better now. I had some advice from my cousin after my last post; she recommended B12 so I started taking a time release tablet and it made a massive difference! (Thanks cuz!) I’m going…

  • What are you doing?

    How do you spend your free time? I play games, read, watch telly. All the usual stuff. I’m inclined to say I watch maybe too much telly, but there are so many good things on. That’s no excuse though. I know. So what am I doing? Books I’m always reading a couple of things at…

  • The Day in Pictures

    The Day in Pictures

    I’m thankful that I have some pretty amazing bosses and I have the flexibility to not only work 10-6 instead of 9-5 but that since the house move and my commute being tripled, I’m able to work from home one day a week. Usually I’m home on Tuesdays, unless I need to be home another…

  • Happy Autumn!

    I love a good bank holiday weekend. Life has gotten pretty busy the last month and this past weekend was one of two weekends we have free until November 7th. Crazy! I personally revelled in having no plans. We were possibly going to see friends but they weren’t feeling great which meant we had absolutely no plans…
