I recently discovered the Life Interrupted Podcast with Simon Thomas. Simon is a TV presenter who lost his wife to Leukaemia back in 2017. He wrote a book about his grief and the podcast is where he interviews celebrities/notable people, who have lived through difficult times. Today I listened to the Paul McKenna episode, which… Continue reading A Life Interrupted

Managing My Mood
Living a "stoic" life involves having a morning routine/ritual (and an evening one). And within that, it's suggested you should "manage your mood'. I would never describe myself as a real moody person. I don't suffer from PMS (my husband has been very lucky over the years considering the horror stories I've heard from women… Continue reading Managing My Mood
The Brain Doctor
I read an article the other day which mentioned Dr Faye Begeti, otherwise known as The Brain Doctor. Absolutely love her tips and guidance on subjects like sleep, habits and mental health. There are so many people struggling right now with mental health issues brought on by this pandemic. I feel incredibly thankful that I… Continue reading The Brain Doctor
Making Mistakes
It's been snowing on and off, since Sunday here in Kent. We haven't had it this bad for years, and it's the first time its been ankle deep since we moved to this house 5 years ago. I'm not a fan of the snow I have to say. It makes me feel trapped as I… Continue reading Making Mistakes
The Nagging Task
In The Happiness Project, (love that book!) Gretchen Rubin talks about tackling a nagging task and how it can boost your mood when you get it done. Blimey...I have so many of these that I don't even know where to start lol. But hey, you just gotta start somewhere with something, right? Late last year… Continue reading The Nagging Task

I completed all my #teamtomm Level 1 tasksI completed all my #teamtomm Level 2 tasksI downsized my wrist watch collection and put over half of them into the charity shop bagAnd I also put ALL my junk… Continue reading Win Win
Celebrate The Wins
Yesterday I managed to catch up with one of my favourite podcasts as I was a few days behind. In Fridays episode Gemma talked about pulling up the floor in her kitchen. She'd hoped to find a perfect original floor. But discovered that what was underneath was a mish mash of original terracotta tiles and… Continue reading Celebrate The Wins
Being Grateful
I discovered a new podcast recently...The Law Of Attraction Changed My Life with Francesca Amber, which I am absolutely loving! I think the main reason I love it is because she's so down to earth. Most podcasts are American (which isn't a problem...but...), so to find one that is done by a "Lunden gell" (as… Continue reading Being Grateful
Netflix & Chomp
Yesterday I binged watched The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow whilst munching my way through 1/2 a packet of chocolate peanuts (that weren't that nice by the way, but hey, it was chocolate!). Poor old Gwyneth gets a lot of stick (just read the article above). But I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learnt a lot.… Continue reading Netflix & Chomp
Being Enough
I was having a bit of a CBA day yesterday (can't be arsed). Which was funny as the #teamtomm podcast was on that exact topic. Yesterday was kitchen day (on the #teamtomm schedule), but as I'd already given it a once over on Wednesday morning (we had a house viewing) all that needed doing was… Continue reading Being Enough
