Isn't It Typical?!

Business for me was fairly quiet for most of April and the first half of May. Then the last week or two things have really picked up which is great. However, at almost exactly the same time that work got busier, Chloe who is 7½ months has started waking at night. What timing! Practically from day one she has slept through the night so I have been spoilt but isn't it typical that she just starts waking up when I have a busy spell of work. I normally try to get as much of my work done in the even… Continue

Did you know that today, Thursday 15th May is National Work From Home Day in the UK? “National Work From Home Day” is an initiative run by Work Wise UK which started in 2005.

Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce Networking Lunch

I thought I would write a bit about the networking event I went to this Tuesday. It was run by the local Chamber of Commerce in a local hotel. I've been to networking events before but although I have had several emails before about the Chamber of Commerce ones I've never actually been to one. The venues vary but as this one happen to be very local to me I thought why not give it a go. They are expensive at £28.50 but I thought I would splash out. Well it did include a 2 course lunch as well as… Continue

Jake's Kick for Children with Cancer

I know this isn't related to my business but I wanted to mention it here anyway as it is for a good cause. My son, Jake who is 2 1/2 is doing a sponsored goal scoring at his football class as part of CLIC Sargent's Kick for Children with Cancer. This is a National event which will be taking place across the UK. You can find more information here - http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/football. Jake's sponsored goal scoring event will be on Saturday 24th May at his usual Little Kickers class where he… Continue

Promotion

I have just been thinking this evening that I started this blog nearly a week ago but I haven't written anything since. What a good start?! So, I've been thinking about what I could write - several ideas came to mind but nothing substantial enough to write here so this is going to be short and sweet. Work is quiet at the moment which is worrying considering I only have 2 more maternity pays to go and then I am in it all alone. So, I have been thinking about what I can do to try and get more cli… Continue

Thanks for all your lovely comments, Yvette, both here and on GP! Yes, our boys were born close together - Tom was right at the beginning of November (he's exactly 2.5yrs today actually and has just gone off to pre-school for the first time so I am a bit of an emotional wreck, having just waved him off!). We're having a little girl in September so it will be nteresting to see what impact the pinkness has on our home!

Thanks Yvette! It's alot of hard work but will hopefully create alot of opportunity for mums! I'm hoping for it to go live on Tuesday and then I can really start to push it through the searche engines!
If you know of anyone who may be interested or you feel they would benefit then I'd be grateful if you could let them know!

Hi Yvette,

I certainly don't need to let you know how to find your way around :o)

The resources tab is quite good though!

I love GP - I've recommended it to lots of people! I think it's so nice to have these sites supporting women. Look forward to catching up with you, x
