This year, the 3rd Monday falls on January 16th - next monday! This is due to post Christmas festivities, bank balances have dwindled, everyone’s got a cold, and the dark days can make us feel "SAD".

Read MoreBeing a member of the glo team and also to be present in celebrating the companies 10th birthday is fabulous! So when I was asked to contribute to this celebration with a blog focusing on my Top 10 Favourite Things, I was delighted and set about having a good old think as to what they are (it's harder than I anticipated)!

From a discussion with my now hubby at the airport before jetting off on our hols (and pre kids) to talking through the idea with Charlotte whilst in the middle of doing a car boot sale on the outskirts of London, I cant quite believe how much our baby has grown.
