    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…

    At work I write a lot about the importance of protection, you never know what will happen, everyone can get cancer, etc, etc. But still you are always shocked when it happens to you, no matter how much you know it can. 2017 started off good enough, I had goals and I thought I knew…

    Whilst I no longer do the whole turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving, much to Hubby’s displeasure, I do still give thanks for what I have and this year is no exception. I am thankful for a whole lot this year: Hubby – I’m always thankful for him but this year even more. We…

    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…

    Hey peeps, what’s shakin’? My last post was from before I went on holiday and I must admit I was not in a good place before going away. Everything seemed difficult and I was fed up with it all. Our holiday was amazing and 10 days on a beach in sunny Cala Millor was exactly…

    I like rain more than the average person. I think it comes with depression – to relish things like rain and thunder and crappy weather where you can make an excuse to not go out and hide under the duvet in bed all day. As much as I like rain, I love sunshine. I’m an…

    That’s me! I am so unbelievably-can’t-even-put-into-words excited about going on holiday Thursday. I haven’t had any (substantial) time off work since New Year’s so a break is more than needed, especially after the insane 3 months I’ve had. It feels like I haven’t looked up from my monitors at work in absolute ages, and that’s…

    Is it really April already? This year is just flying by and I appear to have been in my own little bubble for the past few months… It seems I have been drowning in work lately and the project I’m working on just keeps dragging no matter how hard I work. I will be glad…

    This week has been hectic and so very tiring! It always is when you return from being off for a while. I started the week off with a trip to Belfast which went well. The meeting was great, it’s always fun to go and see how inspiring our Directors are for our brokers. So much…
