We all accept by now that New Year’s Resolutions are rubbish, don’t we? They’re boring, generally a bit miserable, and rarely – if ever – actually work! Yep, I gave up on traditional resolutions a few years ago and I’ve been trying to find an effective alternative to New Year’s Resolutions ever since. A couple …
This is going to be a slightly different Christmas, isn’t it? I AM still looking forward to it, however. I’m definitely looking forward to a relaxing break from work and other commitments! Christmas Day is going to be a little strange, no doubt about it. We’ve decided that we’re not going to risk mixing households …
I always used to have just TOO MANY things that had to be ‘right’ or else Christmas was ‘ruined’ – until a couple of years ago, when I started focusing on the non-negotiables and letting the rest go. So here are my 17 Essentials for a Perfect Christmas. What would YOURS be? My 17 essentials …
