You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brings a week of content?

That’s been our whole entire day today! Lots going on this week in our personal lives, business (deliveries, checking in with web developers about our biggest project to date) and health stuff (hospital first thing tomorrow for me 😩) so today we have spent the day having a deep clean, declutter session, getting odd jobs done and even boiling eggs for easy snacks this week. I’m nothing if not thorough.

It means getting to spend some nice chilled out time reading a book, drinking some biscuit flavoured tea and winding down.

Do you use your Sunday to prep for the week ahead?

I don't know about you, but being home more has me

I don't know about you, but being home more has meant that our energy bills have been increasing. We are on a mission to cut back on our energy usage and save some money. Getting a smart meter would definitely help us to keep an eye on our usage in an attempt to cut down on our energy bills and we can't wait to get one.

AD Did you know that there are even smart prepay meters? It means that as customers it is easier to track your usage and top up from the comfort of your own home.

Check out my stories where I am sharing 5 ways we are reducing our energy usage to save money.

One of my favourite, and most unusual tips, is to pop a clean, dry towel into every load of laundry in the tumble

dryer. This cuts down on the drying time which then helps us to use less energy.

Check out the link in my bio to learn more about prepay smart meters from @SmartEnergyGB #SmartWayToPrepay

A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my life and had a gastric bypass to improve my health.

And improve my health it did! I have reversed my diabetes and discovered I have cancer.

My journey wasn’t straight forward - I’m not where I want to be but I’m well on my way 💪🏻

Weight loss surgery is a tool and it doesn’t fix your brain. It doesn’t fix a life time of emotional eating. But it helps along the journey 💪🏻

I keep being asked for an update but I feel like there isn’t much to say. I still struggle to eat nectarines and pears. Hitting my daily protein goals is hard work. I’ve lost a lot of my hair but I like it. I am getting stuck in the same 5lb bracket where my weight is hovering, but I don’t feel as though I have the mental strength to push through right now. If you’ve seen my stories recently then you’ll know that I’m in a very bad place mentally right now.

Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House projects. Garden projects. Sour dough. Grow things from seed. Start that side hustle or business. Have those zoom quizzes. Go for your daily walk.

Lockdown 2: we’ve done this before, we can do it again. We are doing it for Christmas. We’ve got this 💪🏻

Lockdown 3: Nope I’m done.

And that’s okay. Let’s just do what we need to do so that we live to see another day.

Jars of...Motivation! Did these little jars save

Jars of...Motivation!

Did these little jars save me from a serious head funk?

Why yes they did!

Let me explain. I've got a lot of ideas and projects on to go. Looking at my to do lists is OVERWHELMING. What do I do instead? Nothing!

Mental health and The Overwhelm had got to me. There was no 'new year, new me' this year. There was 'new year, same depressed me under a cloud of darkness who isn't getting things done'.

Until my business mentor stepped in and we came up with this strategy to make jars for some of my projects, and write out tasks to do for those projects.

Now instead of looking at a to do list, getting overwhelmed and doing nothing I have some pretty jars to pull a task out from. Okay, it isn't perfect - sometimes I pull something out that needs another task doing first so I just pop it back inside and pick out another one.

If you are struggling then I would really recommend this technique! It got me out of a funk.

Lockdown day one - how we all doing?

I’m not doing too well but I’ve taken my medication and been for a walk.

I know it is really cheesy but my DMs are open if you need to talk anything from lockdown boredom to blogging questions
