Today I should have been having a Spa Day with my sister-in-law. Or more accurately, I should have been having a Spa Day with my ex sister-in-law. We get on well, and after my husband left we decided we wanted to continue to get on well – thus proving that you can, in fact, choose…

New Year’s Resolutions
So that’s that over with for another year. I don’t really like New Year. Lots of reasons. But this year, on top of everything else, we’ve left the European Union. I’ve said all I need to say on that topic here, here and here. I didn’t feel like celebrating anything – I switched the TV…
Still No Birds
I get no birds in my garden. I may have mentioned this before. Yesterday I was at my back door when I heard a lot of twittering – a flock of long-tailed tits were in a tree in the garden behind my house. This was very exciting. They’re quite a rare bird in the UK,…
*&%#^@#!!!

Out Like a Light – or not?
The other night I didn’t sleep a wink. Or at least, that’s what it felt like. I’d been up at 5:30am, in work for 7, finished at 4. When I got home I’d grabbed a quick cup of tea and got changed, then did at least an hour’s work in the garden. I’d had something…
But This IS Me!
As you know, I run a business with my ex. About a week ago I needed to make some purchases for the business from Amazon. Now, as it happens, this isn’t something I do very often. The last time I used the business debit card with Amazon was back in November. I placed my order….
