Challenge Accepted
Would it be a Bank Holiday Monday if it didn’t rain? To be honest the rain is the least of my worries today, in fact the rain is the highlight of my day, and I’m not even being sarcastic (well maybe a little) I remember when bank holidays involved long lie-ins, lazy lunches and Continue reading

It’s Just a Number Right?
March is a funny old month for my family, we have the most birthdays and anniversaries that any single month can have.

I could get completely ghosted; what’s new there. I could be laughed at by all the professionals, again nothing new. Or I could actually Continue reading

Hoppy Easter…. The Lockdown Edition
So tonight, I have been sorting out some files on my laptop and I came across some bits that I had written during COVID Times, it feels like a lifetime ago now, but that shit really did happened!

Dear Future Employer……..

I Love…….
As I’m sat on the train for my weekly jaunt taking the youngest prin to dance, I start to unravel this week, that has actually felt like a whole month in itself. Why does January feel like a whole 3 months long? Anyway this week, I’ve been busy with nan, she’s needed a bit of Continue reading
All About little old me!
One woman, (she/her) Mum, Wife, Granddaughter, Daughter, Sister, Auntie and Great Auntie (yes, I am old).
I started this blog to document my journey throughout my ‘social media’ detox, but as I love to write and share, (some say overshare), I thought I’d try and do a little more of what I love coming into 2024.
Stick with me because I will be sharing my day to day antics, and whatever else 2024 and beyond has to throw at me .
