Living the good life on a budget.
This week has been fairly quiet, with not so much going on. I did have a big inspection by senior leadership on Wednesday which thankfully seems to have gone well, much to my relief. It is always nice to hear positive feedback, and get advice on what things could be done better. There are some…
This week has been so much more relaxed compared to last week, which has been a welcome relief. Work has been slightly less hectic, and apart from one day, I have managed to arrive home at a reasonable time and spend some quality time at home with my husband and our two fur babies. Achieving…
What an busy week it has been! Work has been incredibly busy and quite stressful this week, so that appears to have taken over my life somewhat. There are times at work where it can be all-consuming and the days seem to fly by in a rush, fuelled by the hazy feeling of not enough sleep…
What an absolutely fantastic week it has been. Both me and my husband have been off this week so we planned to have a mini getaway which was perfect. We went to quite a nice hotel nearby for a couple of nights and we just relaxed and did nothing. I cannot remember the last time…
In complete contrast to last week, this week has gone by so slowly! Each day seemed to drag and the weekend, though finally here, seemed a million miles away. I have suffered with a cold this week, complete with hacking cough, so that hasn’t helped matters. I’ve been in bed 9pm every night I think!…
This past week has gone so quickly! Work has been incredibly busy this week and long days there mean that the evenings seem to fly by, and before you know it, it’s another day at work. We’re at my parents this weekend which is lovely. We haven’t done very much but it’s just nice to…
This week has been a little odd. I have been off work ill during the week – I felt really nauseous and dizzy, combined with an aching body, so spent two days mainly in bed. Sleeping it off did make me feel better, though I’ve been under the weather all week; I don’t think I’ve…
Well, this week landed with a bump! Going back to work and getting back into the routine of getting up early, the commute to work, the daily grind and then home again has been difficult to get back into. It makes me wish even more than we could be free from this path – one…
The week after Christmas always feels like it’s a getting-back-to-normal week; the leftovers are eaten so we’re no longer eating from cling-film-covered plates from the fridge, the decorations are down and the cards will be recycled today. It definitely is a time of reflection, with the closing of a year and a new one beginning….
What a lovely week it has been for us. We have spent time with family and friends, we have had some lovely gifts given to us by others, and lots of food has been eaten. I got to spend Christmas Day with my parents and grandparents, and then we spent Boxing Day with my husband’s…
