Howdy peeps, If you or someone you know has A/S or A level results today, please accept my congratulations. 🎉🎊👏🙌👨🎓👩🎓 I've heard a lot of GCSE and A level students being fearful of not getting the grades they need (understandable given the news in Scotland the last few days), but they also seem reluctant to [...]

Saturday Chit-Chat
Yo Saturday Peeps! How are you doing on this fine autumnal day? First news...did you see my Instagram? I posted yesterday that the cat seems a bit better (Hooray!) she's certainly got some sass back. I took laundry into the bedroom and she was laying on my side of the bed sat up like a [...]
Uni Goals
Happy Fri-yay Peeps! I've been busy preparing for my Master's degree starting next week! 😱 While I sit at the computer reading (for what has seemed like days) I put YouTube on (as I often do..in fact it's on Crafty Girl now as I type... huge bonus of a dual-screen setup). I have been watching [...]
Back To School (Universal)
Hey Peeps! Thought I'd share my list of back to school essentials for any age group, whether you've got a kid starting school or are in Adult/Higher Education...or anywhere in between, these will work: Pencils. Let's start with the obvious: Mechanical or not, get several and buy either ones with eraser tops or buy separate [...]
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life…
...and I'm feeling good! 😊 Yo peeps! It's Monday and the new routine begins now. Weight update: I've put on 3lb (if you've seen my Instagram feed you'll know why)... oops. So this morning I've started my LWR videos again (so I'm a bit stiff sat here, but I did it). I also set my [...]

Even our little sainsbury's has some vests, pinafore dresses and undies available. They also have a load of stationery and drinks bottles [...]
A Level Results Day

If that's you, or someone you know, I'm here to say Good Luck! Whether you got the grades you wanted, or not, you've worked hard. Well Done! Be proud [...]
College/Uni Planning
Howdy Peeps! Are you or someone you know off to further education after the summer? I'm sure you've heard me rave about Cheap Crafty Girl before (if not, you will) as I love her YouTube videos. I found her originally because she does amazing planner spreads, but she also does haul videos. Well her daughter [...]
Encouraging Without Pushing
G'day Friday Peeps! It's hard not to turn into the pushy, over-competitive Mum. Especially when it comes to learning because that's my thing. My daughter is currently in the middle of Mid-Term exams (and is largely unimpressed with the whole thing, like every other pupil I've spoken to!). I have been reminding her to study [...]
And so it Begins…for Uni Students
Howdy Peeps! If you have recently installed a uni student in their new home (or are about to) then check out the sales on homewares and kitchen appliances! Both Sainsburys and Asda have got my attention with ads for these sales. It's a great way to get stuff they need (or buy spares for when [...]
