For the first time since I started writing these little notes, on Thursday the 26th of December, I forgot.

If I am completely honest, it wasn’t that I forgot to write my note, it was that I completely lost track of the fact that Thursday had even happened!

So, here is a blog exclusive as no e-mail went out – just to say that I hope you had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate it (or just a wonderful December!).

If your Twixmas was anything like mine, I just totally switched off, spent time with family and then when it came to New Year, in a very un-Scottish manner, I stayed in and watched telly with a friend on zoom.

I hope unlike me, you were not awoken at 3am after finally giving up on the 80s music countdown that I was singing along with and had gone to bed only to be awoken by a drink neighbour who had locked themselves out 🤦‍♀️. Fortunately (for them!) I had their spare key!

Happy 2025, I hope it brings you everything you hope for – don’t forget to write down what you are hoping for, it makes it much more likely to happen if you do!
