The Last Day

And almost as soon as it began, it was over. Today was my last official day of maternity leave. I’m not in work tomorrow as Thursday is one of my days off but I am back to the day job on Friday.  The past 10 months have gone so quickly but it feels like G has always been here. Already those early newborn days seem a distant memory. We did have plans to go to the Trafford centre today, a potter around the shops, a bit of lunch but my baby boy has had a bit of a cold so…

Introducing Eco Badger – Guest Post

This is something a little different for me as I don’t normally accept guest posts but with a new year I’m hoping to make lots of positive changes, one of them is being a little more open to new and fresh ideas.  Eco Badger is a new fashion company providing eco clothing to all ages.  Without further ado I will hand over to Kelly (blogger at Nature Mum Blog) to tell you a little more about it: Some of you may know me as Nature Mum Blog.

A Romantic Proposal…eventually!

By his own admission my husband is not particularly romantic. That doesn’t mean he isn’t thoughtful, he is. He’ll de-ice my car in a morning and bring me a cup of tea in bed but he isn’t one for grand romantic gestures. Maybe that’s what made his proposal that little bit more special. In Spring 2007 my future husband had a phone call from one of his suppliers at work asking if we fancied an all expenses paid trip to Venice in the summer. Ermmm, let me think about that for a minute. Yes, we bit their arm off! Venice…
