I’m a huge believer in positive thinking. Apart from when the black dog descends and I’m a bit of a mess. But apart from that … generally … I’m a glass is half full kinda gal. Always have been. But as life gets more stressful, and I find myself getting more anxious as I get […]

Camping Part 3 – The First Time I’ve Cooked
Let me start by saying I don’t want to become a camping bore, although I suspect it may have already happened, but I wanted to write about camping again because – hear me out – we did different things on our trip this time. NO! Not that. (Maybe that.) I just mean that we cooked […]
Weight Loss Diaries – Week 78 (I LOVE MUFFINS)
You may have seen me mention on Facebook last night that the reason last week’s healthy lifestyle blog post is late is because SUNBURN! What an absolute tool I am. I put suncream on once, didn’t top it up, and consequently, I looked like an absolute lobster last night. Just on my chest though. God […]
Why I Stopped Following Slimming World
Lately, I’ve had a few private messages sent to me, and blog comments left, about Slimming World. I don’t follow SW anymore, but I did for ten months, and so I’m always happy to reply to comments and messages because Slimming World did a lot for me. But after a while, I realised that as […]
5 Simple Ways I Save Money
I’m what one would call a ‘portfolio worker’. I have several strings to my bow – writer, blogger, digital manager, unpaid servant at home – and my thinking behind that is that, God forbid, if one of those avenues of work dried up (suspect I’ll always be an unpaid skivvy at home mind), I’ll have […]
We Need To Talk …
I want to preface this blog post by saying to any family members reading this, don’t worry, I’m fine. Although it’s all relative isn’t it, but in the scheme of things, please don’t worry, I’m OK. I mentioned last week I had some news about my ex that I’m struggling to deal with and […]
Healthy Lifestyle Update – Week 76 (RUNNING OUT OF HEADSPACE)
It … is … too … hot … to … type … anything … Sorry I didn’t write this post yesterday but honestly, I’m not one to moan … ahem … but I was hotter than the actual sun yesterday. I came home from camping and laid on the grass for the rest of […]
Healthy Lifestyle Update – Week 75 (ALL THE CHEESE BUT A GOOD LOSS)
I won’t lie, I’m a little hungover. I’ve eaten my calorie allowance for the day already, and it’s only 5pm. The only food groups I’ve eaten so far are fat, sugar and carbs and quite frankly, I couldn’t be happier. I mean I’m tired and a little grouchy, but overall, very happy. It’s been a […]
Healthy Lifestyle Update – Week 73 (A Birthday Weekend)
Happy Bank Holiday woohoooo! And also, a very Happy Birthday to my lovely son Dexter, for he has officially turned into a teenager today – God help me. We’ve celebrated by having a low-fat Five Guys lunch *ahem*, and a wander around Bluewater. His choice, trust me, it wouldn’t be mine, but it’s been wonderful. […]
Holidaying in Croatia with Just You – Part 2 (Zadar, Krka National Park & Bibich Winery)
It’s time for the next instalment in my series of blog posts about Croatia, following my trip there earlier this month with Just You – the holiday company that cater for solo travellers. In my last blog post, I talked a little about the journey from my home to the first hotel I stayed in, […]
