December Wishlist


Another month, another wishlist. I like to make these now and then so I can visualise what I'm after at the moment, and can then *hopefully* go and buy them once my clients all pay me - or maybe even get them for Christmas! Here is what has caught my eye for December!




What's on your wishlist for December? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

5 Ways to Organise Your Business for a Relaxing Christmas Break

The countdown to Christmas is officially on! 

But before you get lost in mince pies, wrapping paper, and fairy lights, it’s time to make sure your business is all set for a smooth holiday season. We all know running a business is no small feat, and if you’re like me, the idea of actually switching off for a few days sounds like a Christmas miracle!

So, how can you make sure your business stays organised (and stress-free) while you enjoy some well-earned festive time off? Here are five things you can do in the run-up to Christmas to help you relax:

1. Plan and Schedule Content in Advance 🎁

Let’s be real, who wants to be writing Instagram captions on Christmas morning? Not me! Scheduling tools like Later or Planoly are your best friends right now. Get ahead by planning out your social media posts, blog content, and even email marketing. You can schedule everything to go live when you’re tucked up with a hot chocolate, binge-watching Christmas films. It’s a fab way to keep your online presence alive without lifting a finger during the holidays.

2. Automate Key Processes ⏳

Automation is like having your own little Christmas elf! Set up automatic processes for things like invoicing, customer service responses, and sales notifications. That way, you can focus on enjoying the festive season without worrying about replying to every single email. Your business will keep ticking over smoothly, and you can get on with the important stuff – like finding the last mince pie at the Christmas buffet!

3. Delegate, Delegate, Delegate! 🎄

If you’ve got a team (or a fabulous virtual assistant like me – hello!), now’s the time to delegate those key tasks. Make sure everyone knows what they’re responsible for and set clear deadlines so that you’re not pulled into last-minute emergencies. Trust your team to handle the day-to-day stuff while you enjoy a mulled wine or two. And if you don’t have a team? Hiring a virtual assistant to take care of things could be the perfect solution for a stress-free break.

4. Communicate with Clients and Customers 📢

Nobody likes being ghosted, especially during the holidays! Make sure you let your clients and customers know your Christmas hours and when you’ll be back in action. Set up an out-of-office email reply with a polite note, so they know when to expect a response. And for those urgent inquiries? Leave a contact for emergencies, so you can enjoy your Christmas without constant pings from your inbox.

5. Get Those Financials Sorted Early 💷

Nobody wants to be chasing invoices or doing bookkeeping when they’re supposed to be relaxing. Get your financial admin done and dusted before the holiday rush hits. Send out those invoices, file your paperwork, and organise any upcoming tax tasks. Once everything is in order, you can enjoy your time off knowing you won’t be greeted with financial chaos in the new year.

And that’s it! 

With a little preparation, you can have your business running like clockwork while you switch off and enjoy the magic of Christmas.

Whether it's stuffing your face with Christmas dinner or spending quality time with your loved ones, you deserve to relax and recharge. How do you wind down with work for the holidays? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

My Favourite Ways to Spend a Night In


There's something wonderfully comforting about spending a night in, surrounded by the comforts of home and the things we love. From the simple pleasures of movie nights to the excitement of TV marathons and the thrill of gaming adventures, there are countless ways to enjoy a cosy night in. I'm going to share my favourite ways to spend a night in, from indulging in my favourite takeaways to planning for the week ahead. 

Movie Night
There's nothing quite like curling up on the sofa (or in bed) with a bowl of popcorn and immersing yourself in a captivating movie. Whether it's a classic film you love or a recent blockbuster you've been eager to see, movie nights are a perfect way to unwind and escape into another world. I love dimming the lights, snuggling under a blanket, and losing myself in the magic of cinema.

TV Marathon
Sometimes, one episode just isn't enough! That's why I enjoy indulging in a TV marathon of my favourite series. Whether it's re-watching old favourites or binge-watching a new show, there's something addictive about getting lost in the twists and turns of a compelling TV series. From gripping dramas to hilarious sitcoms, TV marathons are a great way to spend a night in.

Gaming Adventures
As a fan of gaming, I love spending a night in exploring virtual worlds and embarking on exciting adventures. Whether it's building a bustling theme park in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, creating my dream home in The Sims 4, or reliving the magic of Jurassic Park in LEGO Jurassic World, gaming nights are always filled with excitement and creativity. 

Takeaway Treats
No night in is complete without indulging in some delicious takeaway treats. Whether it's a mouth-watering pizza, a Chinese, or a comforting Toby Carvery, takeaway nights are all about treating yourself to your favourite comfort foods without having to lift a finger in the kitchen. It's the perfect way to add a little extra indulgence to your night in.

Planning for the Week Ahead
While it's important to relax and unwind, I also like to take some time during my nights in to plan for the week ahead. Whether it's setting goals, organising my schedule, or making a to-do list, planning nights are all about getting organised and setting myself up for success. It's a productive way to spend my time and ensures that I start the week feeling prepared and motivated.


Spending a night in is one of life's simple pleasures, and there are countless ways to enjoy it. Whether it's indulging in a movie night, embarking on a gaming adventure, or simply planning for the week ahead, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So why not embrace the comforts of home and treat yourself to a night in filled with all your favourite things? After all, there's no place like home.

What is your favourite way to spend your nights in? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
