A slick signature with social profiles

I was recently delighted to learn about www.wisestamp.com which gives your email signature a really slick professional look. All your social media buttons can be added here which is pretty fancy. You can get it for free or pay £4 per month if you don't want a link to their site. I set mine up on outlook 2013 and am thrilled with it and I thought I would share the love! 💕😍

This was a Facebook post I sent out recently about following your dreams - its often very scary to do something new, I felt this when I set up my own business.  But as I have heard many times before 'the failure is not to try'.  We will all make mistakes whatever we do and that was really hard for me to accept as apparently I have a 'perfectionist sub personality' going on somewhere.  Hopefully this will inspire you to follow your dreams, whatever they may be.  Know that you will make mistakes but turn it around and instead of looking on it as a mistake, look on it as 'new learning'.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The granny snoring dilemma

What should you do when you go on holiday with your 75 year old mother and she snores very loudly in the family room you are sharing with her and your 2 young children. 

Do you give her a shake and say 'mam you're snoring' and risk her then being awake for hours? 

Or do you lie there getting more and more tense waiting for every snore to reach new octaves and hoping that once it reaches a crescendo, like a dormant volcano, eventually it will subside? 

It's a very difficult decision for a loving daughter and mother. I'm torn between my wonderful mother's need to not be woken up and my bleary eyed children who are baffled at this new granny they haven't experienced before. They are getting fits of the giggles in between pulling the quilt over their ears. 

It brings me back to when I was a child staying in a caravan on holidays which literally shook its way through the night with the level of snoring.

This is a DILEMMA
