So here I am in Sheffield, and Sam’s in LA. I really want to be in LA too. All the people Sam is meeting and catching up with (I have Woo jealousy!). I hope you come back inspired and energised and full of new ideas!! I look forward to getting Origins, Ethos and Strengthsfinder bullet […]

What have I done today? I’m in ‘recovery’ mode but I’m more of a do-er so I’m starting to feel like I’m mainly sitting around. I’m sleeping off the anaesthetic, rinsing my mouth with mouthwash so my stitches stay clean, taking painkillers, being brought stuff by Sam. Oh..and eating mashed potato and soup. I can’t […]

We did it! My friends Sarah and Sarah and I just did a 5km run to raise money for cancer research. We’ve raised about £180 and nationwide, women from all over the UK raise £55 million. 10,000 women ran in Sheffield. Incredible. Once of the Sarah’s mum Kay has been through reconstructive surgery as a […]

I’ve got a new car!! (Did you guess from the post title?!)
We are now a 2 car household and Sam gets his car back and doesn’t have to rely on getting lifts from other people anymore. I got this one through work because I do a lot of business miles. We’re leasing it with help […]

Only 3 sleeps til we fly to LA! I love travelling! I love holidays! I even love washing, ironing and packing this week. Cannot wait. I’m really excited to meet people we’ve only met in cyber space, to experience a different culture and climate (really good as we’re living in permanent winter in the UK!). […]

Well, I’ve been talked into running a race……. me and my two friends (who were my bridesmaids) Sarah and Sarah are going to do a sponsored run to raise money for cancer research. It’s a national thing where races take place all over the country and women walk/jog/run round the course. At the moment there […]

Deana posted these questions on her blog so I thought I’d answer them here. I enjoyed thinking about them. I think I learnt something new about me! Maybe I just reminded myself of bits I’d forgotten….
Four jobs I’ve had in my life:
1. Literacy teaching assistant with 11-16 year olds
2. customer service person on the phones […]

Yesterday, we had a spare afternoon so decided to take our books and walk to Starbucks. We have 3 Starbucks in Sheffield and this one is our favourite. We can see lots of Mosaic stuff happening there! It’s right in the middle of a lovely park and museum, the Children’s Hospital and the university. This […]

I’ve just been watching a TV programme called “Songs of Praise”. It’s on every Sunday evening and contains a church service, interviews, hymns etc. I often think of it as a poor communicator of what the church is meant to be and reinforces church as a religious tradition that isn’t relevant to the generation who […]

Just thought I’d have a go at posting. I’d only just got used to xanga but Sam assures me he’ll guide me through everything! We’re having a lovely weekend. My parents and both brothers were staying for my graduation so we got to spend lots of celebratory time together. It was nice seeing all my […]
