First, the sunshine. Now, the organisation. Four capacious drawers of glorious organisation. Be still, my beating heart! All I need now is the box of suspension files that's on its way... Continue reading

Resistance is futile

The image says it all really! It's not the fact that I look like my mum that bothers me - that's genetic and I can't do anything about it. What I don't like are those little phrases of hers that... Continue reading
