This year, BF and I have struggled to find ‘us’ time. Or rather a good time to take a break together. Work gets in the way frequently – for a variety of reasons including confusing quarter end rulings, amd the sheer number of product launches we’re doing before the end of the year. So, our [...]

Reunion & things
Posted in Family, Friends, Me, Work, tagged Family, Friends, Quality of life, Work on 09/10/2009 | 1 Comment »
Working for my previous company, and then myself for a while, I didn’t really appreciate how much free time I had. Now, my day starts early, I drive for an hour, spend a few too many hours at the office, drive for an hour – workout, cook, and then, if I’m lucky, do some housework/watch [...]
On losing weight
Posted in Exercise, Food, Friends, Me, Weight Watchers, tagged Weight Watchers on 15/06/2009 | Leave a Comment »
A few years ago I lost 65lb doing weight watchers. I was do proud of myself for the achievement and became a helper to help me stay at that weight. Now, I am no longer a helper and I am gaining weight. I am pee’d off with myself – big time.
Before February I was doing [...]
Weekends away

With February being a bit busy, I’m really conscious that my boyfriend and I need to get away. We need to get away from home, from work, from our day-to-day lives. We really need to spend some time just being us. A couple. No homes to tidy, no issues to sort, no outside pressure – [...]
Sing-along-Mamma Mia

OK so not everyone’s cup of tea, but what a laugh. On Christmas Eve the cinema was hardly packed, but sing-a-long we did. With tickets at £2 a pop, it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours winding down ready for Santa to arrive.
I was a little shocked that there were small [...]
My first Christmas…

on my own!
Yep, I’m nearing and big 4 0 and for the first time in my life, I’m going to be on my own for Christmas. First. Time. Ever. OK, so let’s just caveat the ‘on my own’ – technically, I’ll have BF, his parents, sons and brothers, so not really on my own. The [...]
Diary of a step-parent
Posted in Family, Friends, Me, tagged Family, parenting, stepmum on 16/12/2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m very fortunate that my BF has two gorgeous little boys. They are adorable. I love spending time with them, and over the years have come to understand that my relationship with ’step-children’ is something that needs a lot of care and attention. Lucky for me that BF and I have been able to manage [...]
Just a little message to wish a very lovely young man a very happy birthday. I can’t quite believe that AG is 16 today or that I haven’t seen him for two years!
Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a very special day for you.

We’re all trying to save money in the run up to Christmas – but because of the credit crunch it’s a bigger issue than normal. Many of our favourite radio and TV presenters have picked up on this issue – Chris Evans’ radio show has the “Don’t Cancel Christmas” slot, for example. And various breakfast TV [...]
A Meeting I Don’t Want
Posted in Friends, Me, Rant, Work, tagged redundancy on 18/11/2008 | Leave a Comment »
(Sorry for the long one. This was written on on the 12 November, but I had to wait to post it).
Today, I have to attend a meeting and I don’t want to go. It’s not going to be good, easy or pleasant. I’m so glad that I’ll have someone special with me throughout (thank you).
I [...]
