  • A year to clear what’s holding you back….

    A year to clear what’s holding you back….

    I bought a course under this name from DailyOm years ago. As I often do with these things, I started out with the best of intentions. I kept a journal. It lasted 3 days. Which is longer than quite a lot of them, to be fair. Over the years, I’ve started and abandoned so many…

  • The last minute panic pack

    The last minute panic pack

      You’d think, knowing that I’m going on holiday with three children, that I’d have spent the last week getting ready. Processing washing. Organising food for those left behind.

    Mother's day flowers from Appleyard London

    I’m not a big gift flowers person. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers themselves, but generally still attached to their parent plants. But I was offered Mother’s Day flowers from Appleyard London to review and I decided that a treat sounded pretty good to me. I’m glad I went for it, as the flowers…

  • Book giveaway round up #3

    I have the best intentions to do this regularly, but somehow it rarely happens. However, I’m having another go. There’s a copy of Defiance up for grabs on realm of fiction. International, ends around Friday (rafflecopter, I can’t figure it out). The Cait Files has Unspoken, which sounds rather fun, and that’s open for 26…
