Day 335 – It’s off to work we go…….
Thursday 1st December 2011. But we’re not sure where or what we’ll be doing. You see we were having a surprise trip today.

Day 341 -Istanbul, the morning after…….
Wednesday 7th December 2011. Well last night was certainly a challenge! I was dropped back to the hotel around 8.30pm to discover my room was actually a Sauna.

Day 230 – In the footsteps of the Parents…..
I am posting this recollection to remind me in the long dark winter, when my kids are in one of their long dark bored and ‘I’m not doing that’ moods, that at times they can be helpful, useful and very co-operative.

(Diet) Day 32 – sad, gone but not forgotten
This is how I feel today, sad I’ve gone from the Marketing department, and hoping you don’t forget me! After all, they still remember C&A in the UK. After 10 years, M&S is going back to Paris and I’m going back to European Visual Merchandising, so you never know! I feel really sad to move … Continue reading
Diet Day 20 – Inspired by t-shirts
Today is a T-shirt day, in recognition of my family’s love of t-shirts. We live in them, laugh in them, and probably will die in them (hopefully at a very very very old age and with some suitable slogan on it). You see, we’re rather a hot (in the warm sense of course) type … Continue reading
Download the latest trends @ C&A
This is a tribute to a good friend and colleague of mine Yasmina – who has achieved the undeniable act of producing the most unexpected quote of this century “I finally enjoyed a morning shopping with you mum, they’re my type of clothes!”…… From the mouth of a ‘yo boy – I’m so cool at … Continue reading
