The decisions I made late last year and early this year came to fruition in March when I had a heavy workload which meant most other activities went out the window. I worked for over 3 weeks straight without a day when I didn’t do some kind of work be this uni work (marking assignments)Continue reading “March 2024 – Wall to wall work”

February 2024 – Sudden Realisation
One month down and February was a month when I had a sudden realisation, more of that later. As I said in January’s post as of the 1st February I was going full steam ahead with my side hustle. The Good Cook’s Cupboard (TGCC) – this will be a food subscription box to educate peopleContinue reading “February 2024 – Sudden Realisation”
January 2024 – Here we go again
Early in January, I was debating if I should carry on writing these monthly blog posts, part of me felt like a broken record, saying the same things over and over again, and not really making any progress towards my life goals. However, I thought about the reason I started doing it in the firstContinue reading “January 2024 – Here we go again”
October 2023 – Drifting
After the rather relentless September, October felt like I just drifting aimlessly! Over many years I’ve had to work hard to keep my head above water and that hard work is finally paying off with me feeling more in control of my life and finances. However, this feeling is quite alien to me so OctoberContinue reading “October 2023 – Drifting”
September 2023 – Go, go, go
I found September really hard on both a physical and emotional level. I knew going into the month would be a busy one, with uni inductions for new students and back into the grind of lecturing, I love doing all of this so was also quite excited to see the students again. Having lectured upContinue reading “September 2023 – Go, go, go”

July 2023 – Sharing Knowledge
I was glad to see the back of June with the sadness I had been feeling. The first half of July was full on, I had been commissioned to deliver a couple of training courses and although these had been booked a couple of months previously I was behind with the preparation. The dates justContinue reading “July 2023 – Sharing Knowledge”
March 2023 – Clinging on
March felt like I was just about clinging onto life and just able to keep all the balls I juggle in the air. The the beginning of the months, I yet again found myself counting down the days until I had a period of annual leave/days off. Doing this has never felt comfortable to meContinue reading “March 2023 – Clinging on”
December 2023 – Time to breathe
The first half of December was counting down the days until I could have some time off as I had been for most of November! During this time I also applied for a new role at the university for a seconded position to replace a colleague who had recently moved to a different role withinContinue reading “December 2023 – Time to breathe”
November 2022 – Friendship Matters
November seemed to go by in a blur of working and sleeping. Not much to say about this month as it’s been all about getting my head down and working! I’m not one for wishing days away, however halfway through the month, I started counting down the days until I could rest, not just theContinue reading “November 2022 – Friendship Matters”
