Half term has not been relaxing. I thought not getting up for the school run would help but actually the work days have been longer now but with kids around non stop.
It’s like doing some sort of business bootcamp. Work but with kids always asking for snacks while you do it.

Day 01 of half term DONE ✅
Ended up working from bed sat next to poorly child all day. Now am concerned I’m ill which would break the entire household.
Paid for a club tomorrow so I could go to the dentist without kids but not looking likely now.
I thought this was meant to be a rest week? 😭

“Red Note” / Xiaohongshu is a lot of fun and the users there are being very lovely to the “TikTok Refugees”.
Never one to shy away from a new app, I have created an account and started to engage with my fellow cat lovers.
I may be here for some time… 🐈

Quick reminder that you don’t have to do all the things in December. You can say no, as burnout is very real this time of year.
I’m saying no to new clients or campaigns that don’t book before next week - we’ll have to “circle back next year”.
What will you do to preserve your sanity this Xmas?

I know, I know… another post about Jaguar on your feed - but they showed us the car last night!
I can’t ever remember actively being interested in a car prototype launch.
Maybe the Cybertruck from afar?
But there I was clicking the ‘Remind Me’ bell in Instagram so I wouldn’t forget to watch

Today @jaguar launched a new brand and it's wild. No longer a car for old gammon men from the 1970s but now some sort of modernist jazz make-up brand inspired united colours of WTF.
Enjoying all of the reactions and god speed to the SMM on Instagram right now who's slaying the comments like a boss
