I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

How Schools can use Digital Marketing to Improve Their ‘Brand’

typing

Unlike the majority of industries, the education sector has taken longer to catch onto the huge benefits of digital marketing. Whilst schools are not businesses as such, they rely on the right levels of student intakes and a good local reputation to perform well. To be a successful school takes more than good exam results, it needs to be able to attract the next cohorts of students to ensure it stays open.

Three life situations when I might need cash quick

Updated on

As much as we all might try our hardest to save money for a rainy day or more importantly for life emergencies, there might be a time when all of those emergencies happen at the same time. So far we’ve been quite lucky – if you can say that – that ours seem to spread out through the year, but I do know of people who this sort of thing has happened to. And it becomes so stressful because you just can’t manage without a car, your washing machine, your cooker… And still, it’s another week to go until pay day …

I guess I need to share two months worth of favourites in this one!

And even more so, when it has chocolate eggs on top too! But sometimes you just can’t be bothered to bake from scratch, or you don’t have the time, or the kids want to bake and you get a bit argh when they make too much of a mess because they want to “help”… But thanks to Green’s and their new Chocolate Egg Cake Kit, you can quickly & easily whip up an Easter …

Reliving my childhood holiday memories

Updated on

I’ve been abroad a few times – mainly by boat or road – but I’ve only ever been on an aeroplane once. I remember the exact date I went because it was the date of an event that happened in September when I was a teenager in 2001. But let’s not be sombre here; it was one of my favourite holidays that I can really remember, and the destination was Tenerife. Ever since I’ve wanted to go back. I’ve written previously about how I would love to take the boys on overseas adventures at some point in the future; I …
