I can go travelling, I can change my career, and make a family, made up of pets, friends or children if I fancy. Yes, albeit a little more slowly, but they are achievable. I can…

5 Positive Things To Do This Week #50
Go on a twilight walk with a flask of hot chocolate (get wrapped up). Book a Winter break. Picture the scene; a cosy cottage with wood burning stove, long crisp walks on sandy beaches and no distractions. Bliss. Make your stuff last longer. See this ACE post over on Buzz Feed (runs to punch holes in veg bags). Make up a batch of frozen herb cooking cubes. Read this great tutorial from the Marmalade blog. Treat yourself to a new pair of…
