As most of you will know I have a thing for interiors, for pretty homewares, kitchenware, indeed anything that looks good and makes me feel good is a winner.

On the subject of looking fantastic the lovely Emma Bridgewater has offered my readers (that’s you lot) a chance to win any one of these fabulous personalised mugs.

The winner may choose what they want their mug to say so could have their Twitter handle, their name or indeed whatever takes their fancy (and fits).

Where Emma Bridgewater is all about uncomplicated style, I am all about uncomplicated giveaways. No loops to jump through here, nothing to juggle and no having to film yourself eating or drinking something foul to be in with a chance to win.

To enter….

Visit the Emma Bridgewater site and then let me know by leaving a comment which piece (of all the many wonderful pieces on there) is your favourite and why.

That is it.

The Work and Family Show – Feb 21st and 22nd

Nicki CawoodJanuary 30, 2014January 30, 2014

21^st & 22^nd February 2014 – ExCeL London

I am often asked “How do you manage a business, working from home full time and a family?” and more frequently, “How can I?”. The first ever Work and Family Show which has been sponsored by My Family Care and Sky Broadband Shield has been set up to help working parents with that all important work/life balance.

Sadly I am unable to go because I love the idea of this show and would enjoy the opportunity to see it first hand and report back directly about how it went however for those who are able to attend it could very well be one of the best personal and professional decisions you will ever make.

The show is all about giving you the information you need to take those first steps into self-employment or for those already experienced in working for themselves, additional opportunities and invaluable information.

The Work & Family Show will include the following dedicated areas:

Recruitment & Employers – Work Opportunities (sponsored by workingmums.co.uk)
Career Advice & Personal Development – Education & Advice
Image, Style & Media Resources – Personal Branding & Development
Family Services, Enablers & Networking – Support Systems
Franchise, Self-Employment & Start Up Business – Going it Alone

Tickets are available from www.theworkandfamilyshow.co.uk from just £12, and people coming to the neighbouring Baby Show will have free entrance*.

Opening times:

Friday 21^st February: 9.30am – 5pm (trade and press entry from 8.30am on Friday for a networking breakfast)

Saturday 22^nd February: 10am – 5pm
