Get the sparkle back in your life
There are thousands of time management courses I bet. Probably a few hundred written for Mums. This is as simple as it gets for you, with a couple of extra twists I’ve added in to spice it up and make it more effective. It can be so difficult to work out what needs doing when […]
This post is being written as part of the blog prompt for #DoSomethingYummy from Typecast which is the campaign for CLIC Sargent Charity for children with cancer. I’ve picked the prompt ‘What kind of family did you grow up in? ‘ I did some research into CLIC and found this info on their site ….. As the UK’s leading children’s […]
I was in total geeks heaven; my first radio interview with Nick Coffer on BBC 3 Counties. There were dials, buttons, screens, computers, flashing things, headphones; it was amazing. I’d been on blogtalk radio before and interviewed by phone for local independent radio, but here I was being interviewed on BBC Radio, and I […]
Energy Saving: the problem is how to go about it without appearing like a nag! Plus my brain isn’t what it was, and although I remember that I was taught how to work out what having a light on would cost, I can’t for the life of me remember how to do it. With the […]

Not sure that quite worked with the model of the Star Ship Enterprise, but with most […]
I’m not a fan of New Years Resolutions, I think it’s a time for a detox, clear out and rest. Goals can just add to the weight of things we don’t achieve as Mums. What I use are ‘Life Priorities’ Life Priorities help you to organise your time, energy and money spends for the […]
I know this post is a bit late for christmas, but there is all the birthday’s next year and Christmas in 12 months time. Basically, BEWARE buying presents for people without being sure of the refunds policy, especially if it’s not a big name shop you are buying from. You may end up only being […]
I’m not a pessimistic person, but facts are facts, and it is possible that it will take a while to get a job after a redundancy. So it’s important to quickly work out what expenses you can cut straight away, as it will reduce stress later on. I’ve been wondering about society’s views on what […]
