Love having a coffee and a notebook

I love nothing than having a coffee whilst planning and drafting content that I'd like to share on my blogs and videos, having a change of environment. 


Also like to try different coffees in different coffee shops and have a bit of me time, which for me is so important in terms of energy and relaxation. 

Having time for me is what I need when my son is with his dad, at a holiday club he goes to in the holidays or be looked after by his grandparents. 

I know it is not always possible to have break as when school returns, I know some of us have a few more weeks left, it can be all systems go and we get caught up with being busy with the return of school, but I use the time in the morning or evening, depending on when you get quiet moment then there is no better feeling in having a good coffee, and my journal and pen, and planning my life. 

I love to brainstorm and draft blogs and allowing my creativity come out and just allow myself to put my thoughts and ideas on paper and it helps make me feel calm and at peace. 

Buy a nice a notebook that is going to help get you excited in using it and you don't have to spend lots. I tend to buy mine on amazon, Whsmiths or The Works. 

It is good to have something on your mind on paper as it clear the mind and make sense of your thoughts and fears too. 

You can make personalised notebooks, like Vistaprint, Funky Pigeon and Erin Condren. 

These are good as gifts, a Gift Card for a persons favourite coffee shop and a personalised notebook or make one. 

So if you a coffee drinker and like writing then why not join me in going to a coffee shop or takeaway homemade coffee and notebook and find a private space to jot down in a journal without interruption.

Many thanks for reading,

Coffee and cakes

So I thought my son had his first Babyccino this week, but found out that it wasn't and he didn't like the hot milk version but cold. This was in Costas and I love their cornflakes cakes and even though I do have a coffee machine in my home they aren't as good. However, using the coffee machine at home, has saved me a lot of money and same with instant coffee, which I have at my son's home in Epsom, and going to buy myself another jar of coffee and cold latte sachets to save the pennies.  My son drinking his Babyccino I do often will pay a visit to Cafe Nero if I fancy a Chai Latte and love their Bacon and Brie Panini, but can be pricey so I now cut this down to having this once a month, and tomorrow was planning to visit Starbucks, but I had to catch myself, because why buy a coffee from Starbucks, when I buying coffee in a supermarket?  Am I alone in this?  It is double the expense, and I know I could stop drinking coffee, but I love my coffee in the morning and dayti

Finding a decent coffee

I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now and so wor

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break
