If you know me personally you know that I am not particularly fit and haven’t used my gym membership since February and in fact have only been three times before that. I can’t actually run for 5 minutes without having to stop and walk to get my breath back! So it may come as no… Read More
A few days ago I turned thirty five. It’s weird because I still don’t really *feel* like an adult yet I most definitely am one. I mean 35 is normally a whole new age bracket to tick on forms right? If I got pregnant now I’d be a ‘geriatric’ mum (no plans to though!) I… Read More
So this was originally the ‘October Blogging tag’ or something along those lines, so I’ve changed any mention of October to Autumn and am rebelling and posting this in November. I love reading things like this on other blogs as a great way to find out about the blogger, so if you’re new to Scrapbook… Read More

I quit my job. Today I handed in my notice to the company I have worked with for over 15 years, and it felt GOOD! I’m going to be blogging/freelancing for a living now and I couldn’t be happier! I was doing one management shift a week and then helping out on the odd shift when… Read More
A few weeks ago Sarah at Boo, Roo & Tigger too tagged me in the Bedtime post (here’s hers, she’s a cold side of the pillow seeker like me!) and sometimes I love to have a set list of Q’s to answer, it means I can write something fun without too much thought! So here… Read More
I’ve been a ‘mother of two’ for just over a year now, and amazingly have managed to keep everyone alive, health(ish) and happy (mostly). I can’t say it’s been a breeze, because some days it’s been really bloody difficult. My top three sentences in the last year have been:
