Having had some pretty lacklustre hotel experiences recently, I decided to go back to basics and plump for a Travelodge.

They’re not glitzy, they’re not glamorous, but you know what you’re getting, the beds are comfortable, and – obviously – they’re at the more affordable end of the spectrum.

You Wouldn’t Build A House Without Foundations, The Same Is True In Business Get The Basics And Fundamentals Right. Blown Away By Travelodge

Being a full-time business owner and mum is great. But it takes its toll in the summer.

I had a plan to write something about the whole ‘back to school’ period, but then I came across something written by a friend of mine, Sara Southey, which is beautifully put, so rather than write my own, I thought I’d just share it with you.

Enjoy….

As adults, we learn a few “truths” about life:

There’s no such thing as a free lunch
Too good to be true usually is
Your pay always looks less impressive when it hits your bank account



But there are also gender specific “truths” that “everyone knows” and that some people are foolish enough to say out loud.

BAE Systems has found this to its cost.

Good news for employers: an employee being signed off with “work-related stress” does not automatically mean they are disabled under the Equality Act 2010 — or that a disciplinary, grievance or redundancy process must grind to a halt.

When does ‘making the time up’ go from fair to fanciful?

I think I know the answer, following some communication with a club this week.

The club in question had an employee who’d been off sick five days a month, every single month since December last year.

We’ve noticed that some companies aren’t using training cost repayment agreements as often as they should.

If you don’t use this, you will be out of pocket if an employee leaves (voluntarily or involuntarily) after receiving training that YOU have paid for.

A training cost repayment agreement (TCRA) is separate from the contract. In fact, if it’s in the contract, it is unenforceable.

One of the things he was keen to know was whether employers are required to provide a handbook to their staff.

I asked him why he was so interested, and I was pretty surprised by his answer:

On a personal level, I’ve been trying to prepare for the summer temperatures for almost a year.

I came across an ingenious ‘window film’ product, designed to keep UV rays at bay, and as sunlight streams in through my French doors, I knew we’d benefit.

And we would have done so if it had actually been installed.

You might have noticed it’s been a little hot recently (for some of us!). And although we’ve come down off the peak, there are more heatwaves on the horizon, so I’m hoping the nation will be a little better prepared next time! On a personal level, I’ve been trying to prepare for the summer t...

I’ve always loved buying things, from when I was a little girl, counting out the pennies for a paper bag of cola bottles, right through to now, when everything is available with the click of a button, or swipe of an iPhone.
