I haven't posted on here in a while, I've been crazy busy with my new job and setting up the Cleveland Scouts Target Sports team - we've managed to secure an offer of funding from Sports England 🥳 but we do have to match fund it 😎

If you can spare a minute to share the appeal, or want to donate, all support is greatly appreciated 😍

We want to add Air Rifle shooting to our Scout Target Sports Team so the young people get to experience more activities in a safe way.

Here's a thought for Monday!!

Personally I like Monday's, a new start every week if you want it.

What's on your plan for the week?

Almost March - if like me a new month means new plans, which in turn means a new notebook, check out this Good Vibes Only design I created!!!

There are lots of great reasons to support a small business, if I miss any, feel free to add them in the comments!

🍎 you get a more personalised service, and a bespoke solution or product
🍎 you will deal with the same people throughout your customer journey
🍎customer loyalty makes an actual person do a happy dance, not a shareholder!
🍎a small business is more likely to share a recommendation of your business

What do you think the benefits are of supporting small businesses?

Pancake Day! I bet there are lots of posts today asking what topping you add to your pancakes - well here's another 😆

I like golden syrup on mine, and I like the British style pancake over the thicker American ones!

Its National Tortilla Chip Day!! What do you like to eat them with????

I am partial to a home made tomato salsa or when I was following a popular diet I discovered a recipe for a guacamole make with sprouts which was pretty delicious (once you get over that its made with sprouts!!!!)
