There’s something about the phrase “new year’s resolution” that makes me nervous. It always feels like there’s a lot of pressure. Besides, I make “resolutions” at all times of year, and when I don’t name them as such they seem a lot easier to keep. I don’t like this attitude of looking at all the… Continue reading 2018 Goals/Resolutions
July is already over? How? No! Bring it back! Ugh. Ok, it has been a busy month and it’s now time to look back and summarise what’s been going on. Here we go! Financial status: Ok, kind of iffy. Afterall, I did only work from the 17th of July this month. I’ve got enough savings to… Continue reading July roundup
My five weeks between finishing work as a postdoctoral researcher and starting work as a trainee patent attorney is almost up! Let me tell you that the time flew by and, no, I am not totally bored and climbing up the walls. Five weeks is not enough time for me to get bored in, I’m… Continue reading Getting ready for my first day at work
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
Last month I noticed that two of my favourite bloggy friends (Gordon at Happily Imperfect and Siobhan and Siobhan Claude van Damme) were posting monthly round ups. I already have my habit of posting about new things I try each month, but this is a little different. It appeals to my love of generating and… Continue reading March round up
I am not a good shopper. I tend to wear my clothes until it’s no longer decent to do so, except on the rare occassions where they stop fitting me or I start to hate them for some reason, in which case I will donate them. It’s not unusual for me to put on a… Continue reading Personal shopping
I know everyone thinks they have the best friends in the world but unless we happen to share the same friends, I’m afraid that you might be wrong. I’m constantly presented with evidence that my friends are the best friends (although I will concede that it’s possible I haven’t met all the friends I’ll ever… Continue reading Vintage coat
Sunday is usually my “sort your life out” day. I have more time to properly straighten out the flat, to do laundry, to deal with those emails I’ve not been able to give proper attention to, to send a meter reading to Scottish Power (lol) and to do whatever else might make Monday morning that little… Continue reading Getting organised
I’ve mentioned before that I struggle to justify spending money on clothes. One area where this is particularly true is when that money is to be spent on jeans. I love jeans. I go through phases of almost living in them sometimes. However, they’re definitely pricey – at least jeans of good quality are. Even… Continue reading Charity shop jeans
A while ago I posted this, which was a bit of a whinge about how I didn’t like spending money on clothes and about how I was feeling miserable because by the time I get to work (after walking for 30 minutes through Glasgow’s weather) I look like crap anyway. I got some great suggestions… Continue reading Autmn and Winter clothes
