Okay, so 90% of my life I spend being a slummy mummy. I’m single so I don’t really shave my legs if they aren’t going to be on show. I let my roots come in because it’s so expensive to keep on top of it and I rarely wear make up. But when it comes to going on holiday and knowing I’ll probably have my photo taken, I do make an effort. Also, when I go on holiday, I actually have a social life, I meet friends and go to dinner, and those are the things I would make an effort with at home so it makes total sense I…

The night before going on holiday I turn into a total basket case. I…

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a parent now, or if it’s an age thing, but when it comes to holidays and travelling, I’m a lot less “fly by the seat of your pants” and a lot more meticulous planning & safety checks these days. Being in the UK and knowing I have my bank’s phone numbers, my emergency contacts on hand and NHS gives me peace of mind, something I need to replicate for when I go on holiday, just in case the worst should ever happen. I’m a firm believer in “better safe than sorry” in most aspects of my life. Prior to becoming a mother I…

It’s coming up to that time of year where everyone is jetting off on holiday. Sadly I’ve already been on my summer holiday and I’m now back to reality. My holiday went off without a hitch, but that isn’t the same for everyone.

How much to take, how to keep their money safe are just a few of the questions commonly asked in these holiday Facebook groups. Today I’m going to be sharing some other questions you should be asking yourself before travelling abroad in…
