Lockdown Diary Week Eleven! It was a rude awakening and not a great start to our new normal lockdown this week. Up early on Monday morning to make Jonny a packed lunch with a lump in my throat and the cat brought in a bird. A lifeless feathered friend which she thought was everything I wanted and which of course couldn’t be further from the truth. A bit like how the easing of lockdown feels to me. Other people, namely […]

Have You Tried The Moonpig App?! Last Thursday I was invited by Moonpig to their influencer party (remote of course) to learn all about the Moonpig app, how to use it and what they have on offer for sending out a bit of love through the post! Now, I have to be honest and say by the end I was a bit squiffy (we learned how to make cocktails as part of the party – they had to be drunk […]
Lockdown Diary Week Nine! Oh goodness me this week was week 9! 63 days of isolation, home, schooling, juggling, not going out other than to exercise, going out TO exercise – walk or ride our bikes, loving the garden and generally being slower. I don’t hate it. I don’t. In fact I hate the idea of it stopping too soon because I am fearful of another spike, a fact I know I might find easier to feel because we ARE […]

Even before the lockdown buying Jonny presents was not my forte but right now… Well with shops shut, […]
