The three minutes you have to wait for the pregnancy test result is agonizing; I think I even emptied the dishwasher. That's how occupied I wanted to be. Anyway, I found out very early on at 4 weeks and 1 day, and well, in our job of flying, you can call it in straight away as you aren't supposed to do the job whilst pregnant.

I think I always knew that in the end, I wanted to be a mother but I never felt ready, I remember being 34/35/36 and I still didn’t feel ready…

We tried to have an early night in preparation for the races. Simon kindly booked me a blow dry, but when the alarm went off at 8 am, I think I'd instead have done it myself…

We had a 5-minute slot for the bathroom each, and I would often miss mine; I'll own up and say I went to work a few times without a shower. This did, however, set me on a fitness routine that had never been set before…

We were swimming and laughing, and suddenly, the security guards said it was closing time. I went to retrieve my bag and clothes… they were GONE!!! So were the clothes of the guy that was in the pool with me - the only thing the robbing bastards left was his suit jacket!

I'm addicted to growing as a person these days, and I want to set some goals for myself. I thought if I write them out to you, then I can become accountable…

I thought I’d give us all a recap on my 2023 and well pray for a better 2024. Don’t get me wrong, there were some good parts; I’m gonna touch on the milestone points just in case you haven’t read any of my blogs before this…

Mum and Dad, as they no longer have Kelsey, the dog to look after, had booked to be away for Christmas (this was all arranged before I even got my roster)… Anyway, I'm being dramatic, sorry, but this year, I figured I'm probably going to work Christmas, so I at least can bid smartly….

I have been taking them every other day, and I was pretty happy with this. I didn't think I'd be off them in a long while; however, I came to my 3-week holiday in Dubai and forgot them…

I guess timing in life is everything, and you have to trust the process. I have lost faith in that sometimes, but you must get back on the right path.

So this particular morning, I was in the canteen with my friends waiting for my exam to start; I was pretty nervous and going over last-minute notes…

I swear my mind does not want to be happy. It works its hardest to make me overthink everything…

I would get one of the girls over first. We would take pictures of every single room, taking into account the cushion placement and everything.

People were trying to come into the bar and get their photo taken with either of them. Suddenly, the bar got security for the balcony, and people couldn’t really come out…

My Nan, honestly, at 80, has never glowed so much. This gives hope to the older lot who are still unmarried… hang on there. Our time is coming!!!

Simon was kicking Dad's ass at it, and Dad isn't a good loser (I can just imagine his face). However, halfway around the golf course, Simon slid on his ass and went down a hill…

I decided to move downstairs as there was a cooler room, but the cockroaches were always there, and I preferred that over being on top of a speaker…

It's a lot less strict than people think, and yes, it does live up to its stereotype a lot, but like any place, you can make the most of it.

Since I reached 35, the questions were no longer - Are you single? Instead, they became - Do you have children?…

I lost friends, and I will never be making that mistake again. Even though I knew deep down this was not how a relationship should be, I was stuck in a cycle. Eventually, I said to myself…
