When I flew out to Portugal, I planned to relax, which meant having time to write, read and stay caught up. Haaahahaha, how wrong was I?! When I travel, I make the most of it, and that means keeping my laptop in its case for the majority of it. As well as utilising almost every …
Hello from PORTUGAL! How’s your November going? Mine’s been pretty full-on, hence posting this nine days late. I’ve already been to five cities across three countries, celebrated bonfire night, and somehow found time to be bed-ridden ill for a couple of days, too. And if you think that’s mad, you should have seen my October. …
Good morning and happy weekend, everyone! Well, that’s it. I’m officially unemployed (sort of). And it had nothing to do with my tweet last week about working with a hangover, although that was pretty horrendous. But it’s the end of the season, which means the hostel is closing for the winter and I’m out of …
Seems like only yesterday that I wrote last month’s update! But here we are; autumn is already starting to set in, and today I even had to succumb to the new air source heaters we’ve had installed. Ughhhh. Can you feel that? That’s the feeling of needing a holiday in the sun. I have had …
Aaaaand it’s already August. I feel like this is a running theme for my monthly updates, but it’s true! Considering how little I’ve actually achieved in the past month, I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone. And so, without further ado… my successes and failures bared to all. Make £50 £100 on side hustles As …
Are we really half way through the year already?! That is just ridiculous. June has been as crazy as ever, but I’ve really enjoyed it despite working even more (seriously, I think I had three days off), hosting couchsurfers for over two thirds of the month, and basically not having single day of “me time”! …
Tomorrow marks ten years since I made the big move to the other end of the UK – and ten years later, here I am back home in Orkney. It’s not like nothing has changed, though; a hell of a lot has happened in between, of course. I think it’s safe to say that everyone looks …
Sooooooo. Erm. April has been a busy month. Where the hell did that go?! I’ve just finished a frankly exhausting 10-day stint of work, and half way through, realised that I’ve only actually had four days off this month. Five if you include one day where I only worked for a couple of hours. Needless …
Hey guys! I have just returned from an epic week-long trip around the UK where I hit up Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, London and Sussex, saw one of my favourite bands, caught up with a whole bunch of friends, and acted like a tourist in places I’ve been a million times. It was a really great …
