Despite things lurching from bad to worse at work (we’re talking BBC News reports levels of worse), there were some bright spots in February. SnowMy last Monthly post ended with no snow – February started with snow! Admittedly, I had a bit of a terrifying journey home from the airport where we almost skidded into … More February 2019 Things

January 2019 was an entire waste of a month. I don’t think I did one thing of note, which admittedly doesn’t bode well for this blog post… New jobNot me, Husband. His new office is based in Portugal (sort of) so there’s been a lot of video chatting over the past month. There’s also been … More January 2019 Things

I’m quite behind on my blogging schedule – I’ve got a bunch of New York posts to write and I still haven’t finished writing about Texas yet! But before that, a quick review of the last month of 2018. Liberty Beauty Advent CalendarThis is my fourth year (I think?) of the Liberty Beauty advent calendar … More December 2018 Things

Where did November go?  It feels like we were only just on our countdown to our Texas trip, and now we’re already in December.  It’ll be 2019 before we know it. TexasThere’s more posts to come about our trip to the Lone Star state – we had such a great time even though we were … More November 2018 Things

Okay, okay – I know it’s the 15th November and I still haven’t posted my favourites from last month.  I’ve had a busy few weeks so have got myself a little behind on posts, but it would bother me if skipped October, so let’s get going. Celtic Manor I have almost certainly included the Celtic … More October 2018 Things

September started with a mini-break, ended with a mini-break, but with a healthy dose of Freshers’ Flu in between.  Classic. 10th Anniversary This September saw my 10th work anniversary, and when I think about how far I’ve come, it’s a little astonishing to me.  My very first week saw me stood at the door to … More September 2018 Things

Birthday month again, with this year being a big one for Husband.  He’s still a young man to me. Islay This beautiful Scottish island was a dream.  I can’t wait to go back one day. R.E.M. Husband is a huge fan of the band R.E.M. who split up about 7 years ago, so there isn’t … More August 2018 Things

Oh hello there.  I haven’t posted for a month, and to be honest, I haven’t done that much this month either.  My work life over-shadowed pretty much everything as I had the big scary audit that people in my sector dread. But I got through it, and now the pressure is off (a little).  Just in … More July 2018 Things

Oh June, what a mixed month you were.  I thought it would just be an average month, albeit with a couple of excellent trips planned, but that all changed right in the middle with some very stressful work news (I’m being deliberately abstract).  Needless to say, ending the month by working 10 hours a day … More June 2018 Things

It’s probably a terrible way of looking at things, but I just wanted April to be over and done with because May is MIAMI MONTH (!!!!), but there were a few notable points. (More) Holiday Planning I have been very forward thinking and have combated the post-holiday blues I know I’ll get when we’re back … More April 2018 Things
