De-cluttering
I’ve been de-cluttering quite a bit recently. Really, with the last 2-3 months not working, I really should have started it earlier. The craft drawers & boxes were first to be sorted out a couple of weeks ago, and now…

New job
After finishing my last job, I had the luxury of some time off job hunting. Toss up between big commute again (lots of available great jobs, mostly further than previously) and trying to find something closer to home (unlikely in…
Meal Planning Monday: 11th March 2013
This week is where things start to change routine-wise and we’re not sure what’s going to happen with teas now I’m back at work. Before I would have done my mail meal at work where possible as there was a…
Baby hints and tips part 1: sleep
My best friend had a baby back in November, her first. It was great being able to talk about and share all my learnings as well as those of my friends, and she was like I had been, asking for…
Meal Planning Monday: 4th March 2013
We’re here again on meal planning Monday. I have to say, after a few months of being at home and having to cook every night, it’s really hard to keep thinking of interesting meals to cook quickly – whether that…

Chewing gum
We were never allowed chewing gum as children (I once got caught out, don’t think my mum believed me at all!), but I quite like it now. I reckon it really helps keep your teeth clean, but I’m quite picky…
Old School Pancakes
Although Pancake Day was on Tuesday, as we weren’t well enough to have them then, we had our pancakes yesterday. Nothing like a wait to build up expectations. Every year I make the batter using Delia’s recipe – supposedly making…
Meal Planning Monday: 11th February 2013
It’s the start of the week again. I think the meal planning’s going really well. Much better on the food waste, and easier for planning preparation throughout the day. Not really seeming to get much cheaper when actually shopping, but…
