It’s no secret that offices can be full of …let’s call them “temperamental” people. I’m currently working in a very corporate environment & that’s not something that suits me very well at a personal level. I don’t care for office politics at all. I view it as immaturity. There is one particular person […]

Approaching 27
My 27th birthday is coming up very soon. Ageing is odd. I don’t feel any different from when I was 17. And from what I hear from others, that’s kind of the way life stays. I was reading someone’s post recently about turning 30, which made me think about my upcoming birthday. I feel my 20s have […]
NaNoWriMo 2012
Each year I start, then fail, on my NaNoWriMo journey. What’s NaNoWriMo? Well it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Only it’s international, there are no prizes, it’s free & it’s all about writing a book instead of it being a “one day” dream. Flick over to their About page for more info. This […]
Blog Power Events – High Tea!
Yesterday I attended my first bloggers event, Blog Power Events’ first event – High Tea at the Emporium. The concierge was busy when I got there so I thought “Hey, I’ve been to the Emporium for a few things before, I’ll just head up the stairs to the rooms I’ve been to every other time. […]
Little Things
I believe that life is made up of the little things. Major events just don’t happen every day, and I think that leads people to believe that life is stagnant when it isn’t. Which is why we need to look at the little things. Little things, just like big things, can be positive or negative. […]
Wednesday Food Post – Drift at Brookwater
On Saturday my sister & her fiancee treated Ben & I lunch out at Drift restaurant as an early birthday present (for me). Not photographed: Beer battered sand whiting, crispy chips & mixed salad with tartare sauce. Not photographed because no matter how yummy & fancy it is, fish and chips […]
How I ruined my health
I’ve posted previously (The Olympics) about getting Glandular Fever. What I didn’t know was how it can affect you. Obviosuly, medical conditions can and do affect everyone differently. For me, it meant learning to sit still. When I was still off of uni due to Glandular Fever, but feeling a bit better, […]
Lycra
I work in a giant corporation. And like many giant corporations many employees are inexplicably attached to bike riding. Don’t get me wrong, I miss owning a bike. I miss riding along a quiet path with a breeze in my face. But lycra. I don’t want to see your body in lycra. I’m sorry, but that’s […]
Does Size Count?
I’m a small blogger. After “tagging” along with all of the sessions at the ProBlogger Event the other weekend I am still happy with my choice to be a “not-for-profit” blogger. My main reasons are: I do truly write for myself. Of course I adore it when people comment and interact (who doesn’t!?) but […]
15 mins
As mentioned at the ProBlogger Event, you can spend 15mins a day to further yourself/your blog/your business. I’ve created a list to get you started. Some are ideas I brainstormed, some are tips from following the #pbevent on twitter: Brainstorm Blog post ideas Find some new people in your niche on twitter/facebook Compare pricing for […]
