Inspired by my good friend Nickie’s blog post, I thought it would be nice to look back on the last month and remind myself of all the things I loved – I’ll no doubt write about all the things that have got right on my wick another time! If I have the time going forward, […]

The Morning After
It’s the morning after another Mother’s Day, and I feel I can now come out of hibernation and rejoin the world again. I’ve talked about it before, but it’s an odd day for me. Bittersweet. And so now, I shy away from people, from social media, from family. I don’t even leave the house. Visiting […]
The Best Chocolate Brownie Recipe Ever
It’s official. I’m in a brownie coma. (The chocolate cake to clarify.) I seem to have made the best, the most delicious, the gooiest chocolate brownie going and so I thought I’d share the recipe with you because if I can make it, trust me, anyone can. I did accidentally make a gluten-free, vegan version the […]
To All My Single Ladies on Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve just spent the morning picking out old carrot chunks from the sink, which is a great metaphor for how I feel about this day really. A bit sick of it all. (It was the remnants of Ben’s red wine gravy he made last night in case you were wondering.) This […]
Restaurant Review: Samphire in Whitstable
I mentioned in my January Life Update blog post that I’d taken my eldest, Ben, to a restaurant in Whitstable recently, so I thought it might be nice to do a review in case you’re ever in the area. Not sponsored, I just think it’s a lovely place to eat. The restaurant is called Samphire, […]
How I Saved £100 In One Month
I have this daily ritual. Every morning, one of the first things I do when I wake up is pick up my phone, look at my social media (I can’t be the only one that does that?), but then, and this is every … single … morning, I go onto my banking app and pray […]
A Life Update
Hi everyone, how are you? Wanted to touch base and just say hello really. So hello. My head has been in such a (sort of organised) jumble lately. I lost one of my clients, it just came to a natural end, so I’ve been frantically trying to secure more work to cover that shortfall. […]
Sexy Black Swimsuits For The Fuller Figure
I don’t have a summer holiday booked. Yet. It’s on my list of things to do … along with actually earning enough money to be able to afford said holiday. But even if Dexter and I just get to go away in the UK, as long as I get a break of some sort, I’ll […]
How I Motivate Myself To Exercise – My 6 Top Tips
I find it hard to get motivated to exercise at the best of times, and you may too. I know that once I’m at the gym (or doing whatever exercise I’m planning to do), I enjoy it. So why do I have to go through that whole rigmarole of huffing and puffing, moaning and groaning, […]
My 2018 Personal Goals … And A Weight Loss Rant
I read a thread on Mumsnet last night (yes, I should know better) about a lady looking for plus size blogs to read, except, as per, it got a bit out of hand and became a bit fat-shamey. But it prompted me to write down a few thoughts about how I view the whole ‘New […]
