All cudos to those who can ’empty their minds’ or sit in a corner and ‘ohm’ for 30 minutes a day, but I just can’t do it. I’ve tried ‘guided meditations’ too, but all that jingly jangly music irritates me, and I tend to already be swimming in the sea by the time they […]
I love synchronicity! I was just leaving Radio Verulam a couple of months ago when I saw a sign for ‘Homespun Living’ and thought ‘Oh that’s a small business I should contact to see if I can help’ (check out my tips for small businesses). As soon as I got home, there was an email […]
I’m at last going to tell you what my ‘Big Secret Project’ is! It might seem a bit random, but I’ll explain myself in my next vlog, as it’s a really interesting story of how things all add up together sometimes. So drum roll please ……. (Oh yes and as you can see Little Dimples […]
Life’s still hard with the recession and we all need some fun and adventure in our lives, so for this month’s Lifestyle feature over on Radio Verulam with the lovely Danny smith on his Drivetime show, I talked about festivals and camping.

I have NEWS – there have been big changes. Initially it was all rather slow, frustrating and two steps forward and one step back. My last post was very up and down. However, it looks like it all accumulates into one big sudden improvement, once you have ticked off a large enough percentage of […]
I went to chat with the deliciously ditzy Sophie Sulehria on the last bank holiday at BBC3 Counties Radio about how I got into blogging. Have a listen to her, I really hope that BBC3CR give her a permanent slot soon, as she has a great warm air about her that just makes you smile. […]
I thought you might like to know how I’m doing with the whole fibromyalgia thing? Lots of people have asked how I am, but it’s really difficult to say in 1 sentence, and I feel boring if I describe it in full. I’ve learnt loads more about it and have created a static page […]
Brrrrrrrrrrr! It was freezing (0 degrees!), but the kids didn’t seem to notice at all. I was wishing I’d put my thermals on, and was eternally grateful for choosing woolly socks and snow boots over wellies. But the cheerful ‘Ooooh Mummy look at this’ coming from one direction versus ‘No Mummy come look at […]
Happy New Year 2013 Everyone! It’s January and the crazy dieting and resolution thing is going on everywhere. I don’t want to be the voice of doom, but your New Years Resolutions are pretty much doomed …. ooh that should be said with an echo doooooomed, doomed! A few of you lucky people will have […]
