    Tomorrow I’m back at work after what feels like an eternity off (17 days straight!). I needed the time off after not having any holidays since June and massive project work the last half of the year. I had plans for my time off, but what usually happens when you aren’t required to get up…

    I’ve heard and read often about women feeling they come into their own in their 30s and I now definitely understand it. This year, and the last couple of months especially, I can honestly say I’ve grown a great deal and am more able to define who I am. There is no specific event or…

    So, Paris. I won’t say I’ve been longing to go to Paris for my whole life and been in love with all things French or Parisian or anything, because it would all be lies. But yes, I wanted to go to Paris. It’s right there, right on my doorstep practically. Of course I wanted to…

    *waves from behind the door and wanders in* How are we all? I know, I know, I haven’t been around! I’m so sorry. I knew work would be super busy during this project I’m on and I’m pleased to say I’m at the stage where my workload is now tapering off and I got through…

    There is a moment when people decide that what they are doing with their lives no longer betters them. Generally speaking I feel like this moment comes too late for most. I can’t fathom why we as a society feel pressure to stay in jobs we aren’t happy in, do things we don’t like or…

    I’ve been craving going to the seaside for a few weeks now, but with feeling rubbish and getting back on track just hadn’t had the chance. I woke up early this morning and checked the weather and it said sun! So I woke a grumpy Hubby and then decided to let him hibernate for a…

    I’ve learned something this year. Something important. Preparation is key. The intensely stressful times I’ve had this year could possibly have been avoided, if I’d known to prepare for them appropriately. Well, I know now! The next few months will be intense, stressful and a little bit crazy for me at work. So there are…

    The last three months have been CRAZY! It’s been non-stop, we’ve had visitors, gone away for an event, or been busy doing something pretty much every free moment. The free weekends we did end up having we basically did nothing at all as we were so wiped out. Don’t get me wrong, I loved everything…

    I totally owe a post-Chevron 8 er, post since it was what, 3 weeks ago now? I haven’t even gone through the photos yet, but I will soon. Promise, kiss kiss. Truth be told after the con I knew I had three weeks of rest before going to Ibiza and I’ve basically shut down. I’m…
