We’re in the final days of March and a little break from routine is rapidly coming our way in the shape of the Easter long weekend.  I have to admit, I’m in semi holiday mode already.  The allure of six alarm free days in a row (just realised I get a few extra days off…

What’s not to love about a day off during the week? A day I cherish so deeply that I unashamedly plan every single hour of ‘me time’ on a to do list / time line hastily scrawled on a yellow Post It Monday night before bed. Hasn’t it been lovely falling in love with the…
