I normally wake around 7am, check my ‘to do’ list for the day and take a few moments to check the news before jumping in the shower.

Now my children are slightly older (12 and nine), they’re becoming far more self-reliant in the mornings and it helps that they are enthusiastic about heading off to school – in fact my daughter Isabella loves going to The Queens School so much that she often leaves before I am even up and arrives before they have opened the school gates!

After getting ready for work, I’ll drive my son to his lovely school Belgrave before heading into The Cheshire Aesthetic Clinic to begin my working day or meet Jane my fellow aesthetician for a meeting or to make a plan.

I really love my job at the clinic! I get so much satisfaction from literally seeing the inches drop off my clients after they’ve had a treatment – and since it’s such a lovely relaxing environment, we’ll often have a good chat to the point that I rarely feel I am working.

Time in the clinic for me feels more like meeting up with a constant round of friends.

Being based at The Beehive Healthcare is the perfect blend of work and lifestyle for me.

It allows me to get all my exercise taken care of in gaps between clients so I can join in with Helen’s amazing bodyworx pilates or piyo classes which I absolutely love.

I also thoroughly enjoy Emma’s Vintage Kicks class - even if my technique leaves a lot to be desired but we do still have a great time!

Not surprisingly, my working day flies by and before I know it, it is time to head off on the school run.

Like most nine-year-old boys, my son Will is completely crazy about football so I often have to be the poor substitute for a Dad and play football with him in the park or if I am lucky, persuade some of his friends to come and play too.

He also plays for Upton Junior team so he’ll often have training or matches which gives me a chance to catch up with other parents on the sidelines.

Isabella sings with the Chester Cathedral Choir so often, we’ll go to the early service and then walk home together through town, sometimes grabbing a bite to eat on the way.

By the time we’ve finished homework, chatted about our day and prepared for school and work, it’s bedtime for the children and chance for me to unwind with a glass of wine and box set or catch up with friends on Skype.
