It’s the Law of Pancake Day that the first pancake is always rubbish… But the second is perfect (well, almost)… Both were totally yummy…

How I Fit It All In
Thanks for the questions so far (see 30 Days of Truth: The Verdict), I’ll attempt to answer as many of them as possible (well, not the ones about IM Gurus – I’m so over them!). The first question I’ll answer came from Karen Kramer: “With all the many hats you wear, how do you ever…
30 Days of Truth: The Verdict
I started the 30 Days of Truth on a whim, but now that it’s over I have to admit I really enjoyed it. At times the topics made me a little uncomfortable but that was the point and it was good to challenge myself in that way. The other challenge to doing this was writing…
30 Days of Truth – Day 30: A Letter to Myself
So, Day 30 has arrived (actually it’s more like 40+ days) and this is the one I don’t want to write: “A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.” I’m not big on openly praising myself – the majority of Brits still find it hard to applaud themselves in public – but…
30 Days of Truth – Day 29: Something I Hope to Change About Myself and Why
Lose weight and keep it off. The “why” is obvious. I find it extremely difficult to lose weight (I have PCOS and an underactive thyroid – not an excuse but definitely a factor) and whenever I make a concerted effort I can usually lose 7-14lbs before I plateau. If I stay stuck at that weight…
30 Days of Truth – Day 28: What if I Were Pregnant, What Would I Do?
If I was pregnant I would consider it quite a miracle for all sorts of reasons! But, if I was, it would certainly take my life on a course I never expected. I haven’t been broody since my 20s and even then I think it was more because of my hormones going crazy than any…
30 Days of Truth – Day 27: What’s the Best Thing Going for Me Right Now?
I originally sat down to write this earlier in the week but was having such a bad day that I couldn’t think of a single thing! Talk about a misery guts! But really, the best thing I have going for me is the same whether you asked me today, next week or in 5 years’…
30 Days of Truth – Day 26: Have I Ever Thought About Giving Up On Life?
No, never! Online I think everyone thinks of me as this constantly happy, upbeat person, which is only partly true (nobody can be upbeat 100% of the time) but I have experienced the depths of despair as well. If you’ve ever been there you’ll know that feeling (and I can only describe it in clichés)…
30 Days of Truth – Day 25: The Reason I Believe I’m Still Alive Today
Not quite sure what to make of this question. I am supposed to get “way existential” or give a practical answer? It’s the still alive especially I’m not sure about. I can’t be all deep about this. I’m still alive because I simply am. That’s the way it is. I have lost several friends who…
