Helooooo , I feel like I'm on holiday. We're having a beautiful heatwave here in the UK. I'm such a summer person, I love it when it's warm like this. This week I decided to tell you about my top 5 books on the podcast and thought I'd share them here as well. These aren't in any particular order but I think everyone who runs a business especially with their partner should read these. First of all is the 5 love languages - Gary Chapman* I would recommend anyone in a relatio

15 years ago today. Half my lifetime. My life diverted off course never to return back to the plan I once had. On that fateful afternoon, after I had been helping in my Dad's business doing some photocopying and filing I decided to go and dance. This wasn't and still isn't an unusual thing for me.

I had braces as a child, followed all the instructions and still they moved back. I started new treatment with those super funky clear removable braces and it's going great. Only 35% to go! woohoo! Do you calculate how far you are though with a project at work? Or do you just get on with it? I love tracking the goals espec

That's it! England are out of the World Cup (plus the suns gone away again!). There seems to be a general gloom over London today. This made me think of a conversation I had with a friend this week about how we pick ourselves back up after a disappointment. It is alright to feel down, It is alright to not want to fancy doing something, It is alright to stop, but do not unpack and live there forever. Allow yourself time to digest what happened and why then take the disappo

I have a question for you today? How do you make a joint decision? Especially when you both have different ideas or opinions. For us, it often ends in a row BUT over the past fews years of us working together we have had to come up with some solutions to make it easier. First, I would suggest fully talking about the problem. Lay it out in full and then each plan your idea out in steps and 'pitch' it to the other person, just like if you were in a business meeting, after a
