What a bloody few weeks eh? The last time I posted was the middle of February which seems like a lifetime away now doesn't it? We've all had so much happen to us, sometimes I wonder if this just a massive dream? I keep telling people it's like the shower scene in Dallas! Mid-February I… Continue reading What the fudge happened there?
Can we talk about Caroline?
Yesterday, it was reported in the British media, that Caroline Flack had taken her own life. I am not going to pretend I know anything about her, because I don't watch the programs she's been in. I don't really like reality TV for reasons which will become apparent later. So whilst I am sad at… Continue reading Can we talk about Caroline?
Social media and mental health
I've literally just had a surge of inspiration after posting on LinkedIn. Stranger things have happened just after I've decided to paint my nails! If you've tried to type with wet nails, you'll totally feel my pain. So what did I post? Well, it was this... 'How does social media make you feel, honestly? Does… Continue reading Social media and mental health
SAD, bad and dangerous to know (or something like that)
I know, I start most of my blogs being sorry for not blogging more. It's a fact of life that I am shit at doing stuff, see my earlier post here. You see, when you have anxiety, your brain does mad things - like telling you that you're shit. Perhaps that is a post for… Continue reading SAD, bad and dangerous to know (or something like that)
Health and middle age
Well, it's finally caught up with me. A life of not quite looking after myself. I am staring down the barrel of hypertension and high cholesterol. I can't say that I am surprised, but I am still a bit shocked! You see, we have a family history of this, lots of it. There is only… Continue reading Health and middle age
I’ve started so I’ll finish… Or will I?
I am a serial starter, I always have been. As long as I can remember I've decided I want to do something, but then the gloss wore off and I moved onto something else. I've been constantly reminded of this and my business life is no different. In the last 12 months, I've had no… Continue reading I’ve started so I’ll finish… Or will I?
For the love of Nigel (Slater)
I know, it's a bit of an odd title, but bear with. As usual with my writing, there is a point, I promise! First of all, I bloody love Nigel Slater and have done for over 20 years. He first burst into my consciousness late 1998 with his TV program on channel 4, Real Food.… Continue reading For the love of Nigel (Slater)
Write a letter…
I have been working with my coach on my confidence. This may sound an odd thing, as I am pretty gregarious - but that does not always mean I am confident! One of the things she suggested was writing letters which never get sent. These were addressed to three people who had caused me some… Continue reading Write a letter…
Hair – not not the musical
Hair is a funny old thing when you're a woman, isn't it? Everyone seems to have an opinion on what you're supposed to do with it! Imagine how it gets when you become a lady of a certain age? Yep, it's worse! My hair has always been a source of comments, from bullying at school… Continue reading Hair – not not the musical
The great meat debate
Eating meat (or not as the case may be) is a massive topic right now. It's also one that I've had my personal battles with for many different reasons. It's a battle that I am still having and I guess, others are too. When I was around 14 I decided to go vegetarian. I am… Continue reading The great meat debate
