Christmas blog posts
It’s not that I’m ambitious; or maybe I am. But I love the idea of being the best at something. I was always a ‘generalist’ at school. A bit of a geek, good at everything, but not ‘the best’ at anything, so that’s probably where it comes from. I think this is why I love […]
Can a book help you if you are stressed or overwhelmed or depressed? Yes, it totally can. BUT it’s always sensible to mix being self-reliant with a bit of involvement from other people; so reading a great book doesn’t mean that sometimes we might need someone else’s help as well; wether that’s a chat with […]
I know that shopping for Mums, Dads, Grandparents or Photographers is difficult, so I reckon you’re going to love this idea; Photos on canvas. I love having photos of the family around; I think it reminds us of happy times when we are exhausted and it stops me from panicking that I’ve forgotten about […]
For years I have taken the attitude that the Big Hairy Northern Hubby knew something I didn’t when buying me presents, and that given time if they didn’t quite hit the spot immediately, their purpose would become clear.

Do you need ideas for those difficult presents? Well I have two ways of helping you in this post: Ideas and a competition for a fabulous £100 hamper. (Actually I recommend keeping the hamper or giving it to me, and buying the presents!). What I’d really like to say to the men ‘who never need […]
Do you fancy getting healthy, fit and maybe a bit slimmer? Without rubbish diets, fads, or boring exercise routines? It’s totally possible, it’s just that it wouldn’t make good TV or newspaper articles or expensive weight loss regimes if everyone knew how! I blogged all 2011 about losing weight. Pre-children I struggled for years before […]
