Good morning and Happy Monday to you!
 
I hope you all had a magnificent weekend and packed lots of adventure into the past few days.  The weather here has been quite disappointing (yet again), no doubt due to our maritime climate.  
 
Being ever the optimist, I’m convinced the warm sunshine from early April is just around the corner and I’ll soon be able to put my brand new 10 foot swimming pool up in the garden 🙂
 
As soon as it happens, you’ll have photos.

Good morning!

Here in the UK it’s a Bank Holiday and most of the country is off work 🙂  And that’s not the best of it… we’ve still got another two to go this year!

The weekend was an eventful one, with us welcoming a brand new little Princess into the fold.  If you’re following us over on Twitter, you’ll already know extremely excited I’ve been.  I’m now on pins waiting to find out what Wills & Kate will name her (fingers crossed for Elizabeth… a noble name reserved for awesome people 😉 ).  Exciting times! read more

Hello, hello, hello!  And a very Happy Monday to you!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend.  We had an absolutely beautiful Sunday in South Wales… the sun was shining, and the sky a deep blue, littered with lovely white fluffy clouds.  So needless to say, I invested in a 10 foot swimming pool for my back garden!  The jet ski and diving board are scheduled for deliver next week 😉

Unfortunately, this week is forecast to be dank, damp and grey… so alas the pool will have to wait for a little while. read more

Good morning and a very Happy Monday to you!

Can you believe that I pressed snooze not once, not twice, but thrice this morning!  Now I’m up and sipping my coffee, I’m quite mad at myself… not only am I now a little groggy, but it’s also meant I’ve lost a whole half hour in the lovely sun.

My emergency alarm clock (otherwise known as the dog) also proved spectacularly useless.  Two hours later and he’s still in bed himself… I might need to revisit the terms of his employment! read more

 
Happy Monday and… Happy Birthday!
 
Yes, today marks the first year of Survive at Work.  Let me hear you shout hooray!
 

 
Now last week wasn’t the best of weeks:
 

1. I inadvertently left my freezer door open for 30 hours, defrosting everything that was in there… fresh trout, battered cod, berries, you name it… all mush.  I’d just done a “big” shop too #gutted
2. I managed to defy physics and burn my curry on curry night, despite leaving it on a low heat.  My delicious hot and creamy Thai chicken curry was incinerated, as was my favourite wok #FirstWorldProblems
3. Rocky – the chihuahua from hell – chewed through my PlayStation power cable… and the connector.

 
Yep, as we say in Wales, it was a bit of a week!
 
Happily though, today I get to reflect over the first year of Survive at Work, which has been far more enjoyable 🙂
 

Happy Monday #52 (and Happy Birthday #1)

 
It’s been a fab old year in my world and the world of Survive at Work.  Here’s just some of the things that made me smile over the last 12 months:
