Hey Friend, How’s it going? Hope you’re enjoying the summer sunshine! I for one will never complain about it being too hot. I mean who wouldn’t prefer the gorgeous sun and heat to the freezing cold? Long may it last as far as I’m concerned. So, it’s still exam season and I’m still invigilating. And … Continue reading Lessons Learned

Try, Try and Try again
Hey Friend, ‘Try your best’ is a phrase that’s often said. It’s said by friends, maybe your boss but mostly by parents to their children. I know I’ve definitely said it to mine over the years. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working as an invigilator for exams. The school isn’t too far … Continue reading Try, Try and Try again
Prepare For Take-off
Hello! How are you doing? What’s new? It’s been a week of preparation at this end. Preparing for a meeting (me); preparing for exams (Older Miss); preparing for Mummy going to work (Bubs… and me!). GCSE’s start this week and OM has been steadily revising for months now. She feels confident, she feels ready. It’s … Continue reading Prepare For Take-off
Happy and Glorious
Hey Friend, Well. We officially have a new king. Yay. The build-up to the coronation this past week has been… How do I put this? Boring? Tiresome? Strange (People camping out several days before to get a glimpse of the carriage as it passes by, I’m referring to you with that last one). I’m sorry, … Continue reading Happy and Glorious
So You Think That’s funny?
Hey there, How are you? I love spring. Daffodils, tulips, Magnolia blossom – what’s not to love? Well, one thing has to be the weather. I had to laugh when the weather lady talked of unseasonably high temperatures reaching the dizzying heights of 17 degrees Celsius… In the next breath she said ‘But don’t put … Continue reading So You Think That’s funny?
It’s a Tough Climb But the View Will be Worth it
Hey there! How’s it going? It’s been a tough week! It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve been fighting the feeling of being a failure. Yep. And this after such positivity last week! I’m currently unemployed. I’ve applied for a lot of jobs. A lot. I think even the most confident person in the … Continue reading It’s a Tough Climb But the View Will be Worth it
Always Look on The Bright Side of Life
Hey Friend, How’s it going? What have you been up to this week? The last few weeks I’ve been busy pitching, which is completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve just received a no back from one of my pitch recipients but I’m handling it pretty well. I mean, it’s the first no and someone … Continue reading Always Look on The Bright Side of Life
Trolley Dash
Hi there! How are you today? It’s our last lazy day – half term is well and truly over. Although Bubs has been mourning the end of the holidays since Friday… We haven’t done much this week. Older Miss (OM) had ‘compulsory revision’ at school for three out of the five days so it wouldn’t … Continue reading Trolley Dash
Drive On
Hello! How are you? You’re not gonna believe this but – we made it! Half term baby! Whoo-hoo! Okay, so I’m a little over-excited at the prospect of not having to drive. Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer the comfort of my own car than being on the bus. At least there are no … Continue reading Drive On
Birthdays Are The Best
Hello! How are you doing? What’s new? It was Little Miss’s birthday last week and, you’re not gonna believe this but she turned twelve. Yes! Twelve years old! It’s actually crazy looking at my sassy, funny, beautiful girl and remembering how cautious she was when trying to walk. Older Miss was in a rush to … Continue reading Birthdays Are The Best
