The BIG Jelly – we did it!
111 year ago
What a day! Here are my impressions of last Friday:
Blue sky and sunshine at 7.30 am, what a start, hope it’s an omen. Jelly green banners going up, badges to sort, muffins laid out next to coffee for arrivals, trade stands to explore.
The doors open to the soundtrack of the Shropshire Jelly [...]
Thank you!
71 year ago
Before launching into today’s post, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you for the amazing response to my recent message about The BIG Jelly. When I told Fay, one of the other organisers, that I was blogging about it, she said, ‘Excellent, we’ll cover the UK by teatime!’ but so many of you RTed [...]
Please can you lovely home workers help me spread the word about The BIG Jelly?
511 year ago
The BIG Jelly is now only two months away, on Friday 25 March, and it’s high time I told you what’s happening.
The BIG Jelly was the idea of Jan Minihane, my Jelly friend and the founder of Shropshire Jelly, who was so thrilled at the collaborations that came out of her local Jellys that she [...]
When you want to get out of the home office more
141 year ago
At the start of the year many of us make resolutions to get out and meet more people – easy to say, and easy to book for some events, but then the doubts might start kicking in.
Experience of wearing myself out right up to the last minute with the ‘shall I go, shall I cancel?’ question – and then [...]
Normal home working service has been resumed
81 year ago
Apologies for the lack of blogs lately. I’ve been away for most of the last two weeks and without wifi for much of that time, which is wonderfully relaxing while it lasts, but of course means a backlog when you do get back online!
Firstly I was in North Wales for a week, staying in a beautifully [...]
The Big Jelly takes shape
71 year ago
Yesterday was a very exciting day as I had three breakthroughs – I published my first video blog, or vlog, as I’m reliably informed it should be called. I was featured on the website of Lisa Kanarek, American home working expert, who was a guest here recently talking about her home office. And I [...]
The clouds clear for home workers
181 year ago
Continuing the habit of writing on Thursdays about the things I’m thankful for, today the subject is technology, which is the reason so many of us can do what we do from home.
Technology can cut us off from other people, if that’s the way we choose to use it, but it can also connect us in ways [...]
Help for home workers
71 year ago
The last few Thursdays I’ve been writing about the things I’m thankful for, and you’ve shared your own pleasures and achievements. I was wondering what the topic could be today and decided it was an ideal opportunity to mention two people who have been a huge help to me in the creation of Work [...]
I’m an introvert, get me out of here!
131 year ago
Earlier this month we were talking about how extroverts and introverts might respond differently to working from home. It can seem to the less extrovert that the business world is geared up in a way that constantly works against them. For example, following my recent trip to London for some [...]
It’s Work from Home Day
201 year ago
Apparently today is National Work from Home Day, which must be one of this week’s best-kept secrets. I’ve just checked back and last year it was on 15 May, so at this rate the next one will be early February 2012. However, I’m not one to complain about a cause for celebration, even if it’s not [...]
Focus On Your Best and Delegate The Rest

in Events for home workers
Last week I mentioned a public speaking event being run by Triumphant Events, whose talks and workshops I’ve gained a huge amount of both information and inspiration from.
Today I thought you’d like to hear about a mini retreat being held in London next week by my friend and mentor Nick Williams, [...]
The 7 secrets to becoming a professional speaker
111 year ago
I love going up to London for the day, especially when I’m going to learn something new and be inspired, so I’m very excited about an event being held by Triumphant Events in September. I’ve been to several of their talks and workshops and always come away with my head buzzing with new ideas, and [...]
