Playing ticket to ride first journey

I may have squealed out loud when we opened our latest Blogger Board Game Club parcel from Esdevium Games this month. That’s because literally the day before it arrived we had been in our local friendly board games shop, with this game in our hand, on the verge of buying it! In the end we’d […]

On Flexible Working and Working Flexibly

September 12, 2016 by geekmummy Leave a Comment

work life balance picture for flexible working

One of the things I value the most about my employer is their approach to flexible working. I’ve worked for the same employer since the end of 2000, and I first started working flexibly at the start of 2007. We’d just completed our first cycle of IVF treatment, and I was exhausted. I knew I […]
