(AKA September 2022 Update) What a month. Mainly it was all about my new job and trying to get my head around all the different things I do. So far all boxes are being ticked which is fantastic. School holidays threatened to put a spanner in the works but Mr T was able to workContinue reading “When September ends….”

I’m sure I’ve done other posts about making the most of leftovers and little bits of fruit/veg before they are past but I can’t find them! So I’m going to search and link to them here, or repost the info. Those of us responsible for shopping and feeding the family are increasingly feeling the risingContinue reading “Making the most of it”

Ugh I forgot to do a July update. It was a busy, busy month to be honest. Here’s the post that explains why Something I do when I’m feeling overwhelmed is head to the water for a bit of a reset. It always helps 🙂 So I have been working as a mother’s helper forContinue reading “July – August 2022”

It’s actually theContinue reading “June 2022”

Well, it’s basically someone that you engage to help you in running your business; or to assist you with one off tasks such asContinue reading “Taking a chance… and what happened next…”

Well it has been a while since I last posted an update – whoops! Not a great deal happened in February other than getting the kids organised and settled back at school. I don’t do well in the summer heat and then it was the torrential rain keeping me in. And then on the 14thContinue reading “February – May 2022”

I’m feeling … I don’t know the word for it. But somehow this year already feels a bit like it’s out of control and it’s only mid February. The Omicron Wave has messed up my head a bit.
