    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…

    I cleared out my wardrobe earlier this year and I’m just realising I got rid of things I could have used this Autumn/Winter! I guess that just means I need to buy new things… 😉 So I’m starting to look out for new jumpers and dresses, tights and a new coat. And boots, always looking…

    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…

    My new schedule has gone really well this week. I find it much easier to wake up at 5.30am than later, probably due to my sleep cycles, but it’s not been a problem. I got out of bed between 5.30 and 5.45 every morning this week! My routine consists of: Downing some .50 calibre Grenade…

    In my previous post I mentioned planning meals as part of my plan to combat stress over the next few weeks. Yesterday I made our weekly meal plan and I’ve spent some time this weekend baking as well. Spur of the moment yesterday I decided rather than throw another bunch of bananas in the bin…

    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…

    That’s about how long there is until my next work party. Can you believe Christmas is only 16 weeks away? This year has gone so fast! I have loved having such gorgeous weather this summer. It’s been beautiful. But can I let you in on a secret? I can’t wait for Autumn to fully hit.…
