Halloween at Work: Not all Monsters Wear Masks
Not all monsters wear masks
Menopause and ….
There are plenty of things nobody prepares you for when it comes to menopause. Hot flushes, brain fog, sleepless nights and mood swings. But hair loss? That’s a whole different kind of emotional rollercoaster. Lately, I’ve been navigating thinning hair, and honestly, it’s knocked my confidence more than I expected. I’ve always worn my hair [...]
Chocolate
Today, I found myself in a situation I never expected to face. There was chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but a proper bar of chocolate, sitting there looking at me. Now, I want to make it absolutely clear that I did not choose to eat it. I was forced. There are moments in life when [...]
I lost my sh*t
There comes a point in every working woman’s life when the carefully constructed professional persona finally cracks. You know the one: the polite nod, the neutral facial expression, and the carefully rehearsed “Thanks for raising that” when what you’re actually thinking is, “Are you actually having a laugh?” Well, this week, mine left the building.

Old friends and laughter
Some friendships are measured in years. Others are measured in how quickly you can fall back into laughing like idiots the moment you’re together again. I met up with an old school friend from Australia yesterday. Someone I’ve somehow managed to keep in touch with since the early days of Facebook, back when Facebook was [...]
What a Crap Week
Well, what a bloody week. I’ve just got to Friday and wonder whether I’ve actually achieved anything, or whether I’ve just spent five days answering emails, dealing with problems, and trying not to launch my computer through the nearest window? Yep. That was my week. And it’s got me thinking about just how thankless working [...]
I Should Be Doing Something
I’m sitting on the sofa right now, feeling absolutely shattered after a rather large Sunday lunch. You know that kind of tired where you’ve eaten enough to make you question all your life choices and the sofa suddenly feels like the safest and most comfortable place in the entire world? That’s me. It’s Sunday and [...]
