From P45 to career nirvana and other highjinx along the way

These are all on my wish list for 2010 – who can resist Philippe Starck design, especially with a soupcon of Missoni thrown in? I’m a huge fan of black and white decor, it’s always fresh and classic plus it responds well to the odd dash of colour like a vibrant pillar box red [...]

I have a peculiar habit. I spend hours in greetings card shops. And I spend that time with my shoulders heaving, madly watering eyes and laughing outrageously but quietly, my hand over mouth. I can’t help it, but I know I’m not alone.
I have now discovered the source of much [...]

The new range of Ecover eco-surfactants goes a lot further than the older products – they have a bit more ‘muscle’. There’s a crazy story behind the creation of this eco-surfactant, apparently it was the discovery of yeast in a bee’s nest – are there no lengths these tree huggers won’t go to to save the planet?

Last Sunday Miniminx and I had the privilege of being invited to the celebrity preview screening of the new Disney Movie, The Princess and the Frog.

It was at the fine and dandy Mayfair Hotel in town which is very swish and glam, and famous for it’s famous guests. It is gorgeous hotel, and the [...]

They call it social media for a reason.
Scampering around the blogosphere is all well and good but it’s boring and one dimensional if it doesn’t have any bearing on reality. Who wants to sit staring at a computer all day – you may as well have a real job!
Curious soul that I am, I [...]

Living and working in London and bringing up a child in one of the most cultural capitals of the world is a rich and rewarding experience. There’s no way you can really slow down unless you leave town for the weekend or take a holiday, so my advice is just enjoy the ride. If you’re a working Mum like me and need to be firing on all cylinders 100% 24-7, you might find these ideas useful.

Hello snowdrops!
I spent nearly three hours walking round Kew last Sunday in search of these wonderful little flowers. For me they are the first sign that Winter is on it’s way out.

Today UK bloggers have joined forces to create awareness and raise funds for Haiti following the disastrous earthquake there recently.
Like all of us who are feeling helpless in the face of this disaster, the question is, how is it possible to help?
We can all do things as individuals to make a difference, I have just [...]
