Wow, it has been a while. For a bit of a kick in the butt, I’ve decided to follow a lot of other bloggers and post a monthly review, because then I’ll at least have one post a month. Hopefully, this will get me back in the habit of regularly writing though. No real format … More May Things

A couple of months ago, the lovely people at Stickers Swaps contacted me to see if I’d like to review their stickers subscription service. They emailed again to let me know they’ve been making changes to the monthly mailouts, so wondered if I’d like another set. I love the new packaging they have – very smart, with … More Sticker Swaps Subscription – part 2
I wish I could tell you my second day in New York was different to the first, but it was just more of the same – walking around, drinking coffee, and going into shops on the east side of the island. I bloody loved it. I started off in Korea Town at the amazing … More Living in a movie scene

We’ve established that I managed to get myself to St Pete Beach and back on my own, but what was I doing there? For the past 4 years or so I’ve visited some genuinely lovely towns and some even lovelier university campuses on the conference circuit. All very much UK based though – I don’t work … More SACRAO 2017

I thought my social anxiety would be a barrier and put me on edge all the time, but being without anyone I knew actually helped in a way. My … More A shyness that is criminally vulgar
You guys, I’ve finally travelled internationally for work. I’ve been to a lot of conferences over the years, but whilst colleagues in Recruitment get to leave the UK, all of mine have been squarely in country. But not this time. This time, I got on a big plane, then a much smaller plane (that technically I … More Can’t remember the last time I saw an international business man with an untucked shirt
