Just before Christmas, the lovely folks at The Book of Everyone, kindly gave me the chance to make my very own Book of Everyone! As someone who never found her name on anything in a gift shop, and therefore is a little obsessed with anything personalised, this is such a wonderful idea! Basically, The Book of Everyone, gives you the …
Counselling, What’s it Really Like?
It has occurred to me that although I have been pretty open about my mental health in terms of how it feels, but I’ve never actually spoken about the treatment. I had counselling and am now on medication, and in both instances I found reading about other people’s experiences really useful. So, of course, I’ve decided to share my own. …
So, I Quit my Job…
So… I quit my job! Okay, there’s a little bit more to it than that. It wasn’t a dramatic, slamming doors, “I quit” moment at all. In fact, I shakily handed in my letter of resignation, after spending a good while considering my decision and of course I still have to work my four weeks notice, whilst my boss tries …
Creative Cards (& a Giveaway)!
I’ve been working on a secret project since before Christmas and I can finally show you the fruits of some wine-fuelled labour! In collaboration with my beautiful, talented and all round wonderful friend Vicky, (who is the creative force behind all of this – I’m yet to work out what I bring to the table other than a head full …
Way Down Deep Inside I Have (No) Dream (Job) – Bethan
I do not have, and I never have had, a dream job. Not even as a child. I distinctly remember circle time during primary school when a teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. We were passing round the talking whiteboard pen (our teacher knew we were low maintenance children, we respected that whiteboard pen …
Creative Deflation
Is there anything more daunting than a blank page? (Except maybe a giant spider or something…) I mean a blank page both literally and metaphorically, because I’m pretentious and artsy like that.
Givin’ Blood, Savin’ Lives, Eatin’ Biscuits
CW: Needles, blood. I’m not a fan of needles at all. I’m a grade A wimp and avoid unnecessary pain or discomfort as much as humanly possible. However, I give blood as often as I can, because I figure, my slight unease for ten minutes (or in today’s case 6 and a half minutes!), is nothing compared to the pain …
Things We Should Leave In 2015 – Bethan
Thanks to Bethan for this list of things she wasn’t a fan of in 2015 – I’ll be doing mine in the next few days! Minions I won’t pretend I’m being original here, but minions were sent from Satan himself to ruin the world. As a trend, they don’t even make sense because – and this is a genuine question …

12 Bloggers of Christmas – Sarah
I’m not feeling Christmas this year, I know, I know, blasphemous, but it’s the truth. I feel like I could be the Grinch, except I don’t really suit green. I’m 28, I don’t have kids and I just don’t get excited anymore, it’s a strange feeling. However, I won’t bore you all and complain about the holidays, instead I’m going …
