So I’m not a hypochondriac after all!

Today, after about eight years of being made to feel that I am a total wimp of a hypochondriac and just need to GET. A. GRIP, guess what? I'm not! Ever since my my eldest daughter was born, I've been ill! Or at least, I've been convinced I am. The various GP's I've seen... not…

Nutella and the household budget

Can Nutella help children understand the concept of money and budgeting?

Fight for your right…..

Tired of being tired and pushing for answers after years of feeling below par.. Will going private help find the answers?

It’s quite scary out here…..

A quick review of what happened when I sacked the day job and jumped into the unknown!

Aren’t we all just a little bit mad?

Personally I think we are. If you sit any group of seemingly ordinary people, in a room, and persuaded them to speak - in detail - about their lives so far... My goodness, can you imagine the stuff that would come pouring out of each of us? Actually, I don't need to try too hard…

I know - no posts for AGES at the end of last year. Basically, life went a bit crazy. House move, puppy, the unending demands of school in the winter term and, of course, Christmas. Speaking of which, I wish you all a VERY Happy New Year. One other thing that almost happened last year…

If you're a regular reader then you'll be used to reading my running ups and downs.. However, they have now hit a new low.... or maybe it's not a low but a recognition of a longer term underlying 'issue'. Post marathon it's been easy to avoid running, citing my injury needed rest and later that…

Can people really be gender neutral?

First up, this post is REALLY off topic to what I usually write about and is based on nothing more than my own, limited, knowledge and opinions! Secondly, I think this topic is quite possibly a total can of worms and there will be arguments for and against. Finally, I'm not out to offend anyone.…

If you always do what you’ve always done….

You'll always get what you've always got.... Easy to say but making changes is often not the easiest thing to actually do. Recently (there's a blog coming up about running will also relate to this!) I've been trying to reflect on what is really behind my seemingly unstoppable ability to self sabotage all and any…
