I was talking to a friend recently about social media addiction. We spoke about the impact that it can have on our mental health. The conversation really got me thinking. Like most 30+ year olds, social media didn’t really exist when I was a child. When I was a teenager, I remember there being Yahoo… Continue reading Social Media Isn’t Real

Christmas on a Budget
It’s that time of year again. The children are drawing up their Christmas lists, plans are being made to eat enough food we will explode and every other advert on TV is a product which we apparently desperately NEED to buy.

Gallbladder Removal: 3 Things I Wish I had Known
At the beginning of October, I had surgery for gallbladder removal. I had been having issues with it on-and-off for eight years.

Growing up, I only had one grandmother. My mother’s mum had died before I was born. Over the years, I learned that it was because of Cervical Cancer. She had been diagnosed when she was 30, purely by chance as she had been bleeding during her 6th pregnancy.

‘Mumpreneur’ – Why I Don’t Like Phrases Which Specify Gender
Recently, I got opinionated on LinkedIn. This is very unlike me, as I usually try to tread a careful line not to insult anybody. As a rule, generally I only post links to articles I have published. But, a friend had been posting tips on improving engagement, so I thought I would give it a… Continue reading ‘Mumpreneur’ – Why I Don’t Like Phrases Which Specify Gender
