Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
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
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
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
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
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
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
Hey Friend, How’s it going? I don’t know about you, but I am really looking forward to half term next week. A whole week of not hearing: ‘It’s too early to get up!’ ‘I don’t want to go to school!’ ‘I’m soooo tired!’ ‘My stomach hurts!’ ‘Why can’t I stay home? It’s just one day!’ … Continue reading A Little Less Drama if You Please
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
Hello! How has your week been? I can happily report that I have not once written the date ending in 2022 so far 😊 But that’s not what you should be congratulating me for (unless you want to, of course. In which case – thanks!). No. What I wanted to share with you is that … Continue reading Congratulations?
Hey Friend! Happy New Year! How are you? Hope you had fun seeing in the new year, whatever that means for you. For me it means PJ’s, watching the fireworks and praying together as a family before heading off to bed. This year, it was also accompanied by Bubs having several tantrums because he didn’t … Continue reading A parade for book-lovers?
