A MORNING AT THE PARK AND NEW SCOOTERS

I’ve been feeling a little bit of cabin fever over the past few days. I love Christmas and all but I do sometimes feel a little meh and need to get out and get some fresh air.

10 WONDERFULLY WEIRD FACTS ABOUT FLATS :)


Flats already account for a high proportion of homes in the UK. My first home was actually a flat , at the age of 17 I moved out into a flat and I absolutely loved it !.It was primarily a block of flats with people with children so we had a lovely little friendly community and I stayed there for quite a few years.

IS YOUR WORK SPACE PRODUCTIVE?

Being self employed does have its advantages . The fact that I can be at home with baby Nila and not have to put her into childcare to go back to work is the most important one for me .

ACER ONE 10 2 IN 1 LAPTOP | AO REVIEW

Being self employed has its perks . I can stay at home and work and also look after Nila, but sometimes you’ve just got to get out . Even if it is just a coffee shop. I always feel like I get more work done if I’m out because I feel like I’m ‘at work’.

A SAD LIGHT PAD FOR CHRISTMAS

I’m forever getting told that this time of year is magical and the best time of the year hands down. Although I do agree with that for the most part - the dark days really do get me down and being a sufferer of SAD - seasonal affective disorder, I can sometimes end up feeling so low and down most of the day.

NO MORE BOTTLES FOR THIS ONE

So yesterday morning I made the decision to swap over Nila’s bottles for a beaker. I don’t even know where the idea came from but I was literally just sitting down and thinking about Hingis - as you do and thought it was a good time to do the transition.
