Recently we've experienced the fall-out from a process gone wrong. A no-process, a nocess, if you will. At the dentists. We like our dentist - he is not at all pushy and does not recommend unnecessary treatments or procedures. The practice sell all kinds of tooth...
We've been visiting the same dentist since forever. A private dentist, mind, so goodness knows how many pounds have been extracted from our purse in the name of whiter teeth over the years. The Onswitch dental routine features regular teeth whitening, using a product that we...
Recently, for five hours, we had no money at all. This was just a little scary, especially given that the Onswitch wage run was about to start rolling. Somehow we had managed to fluff the access procedure for our corporate online banking account, confusing the system so...
The last few weeks have been pretty manic at Onswitch HQ, in every sense. It's quite common for mealtimes to get missed in a normal working day, never mind when we're all extra-busy and juggling the responsibilities of our many roles colliding - as parents,...

Buckinghamshire today, and a stop in the most fabulous teashop in and amongst the work stuff. Well, what's a girl to do? Unfamiliar surroundings, but no desire for a corporate coffee today. Strolling along the High Street we spot the usual suspects proffering caffeine and fancy...
Another day, another county. Us Onswitch-ers spend a fair bit of time on the road, which brings us into regular contact with the complimentary toiletries and buffet breakfasts of Europe. Last week we decided to shun our reliable favourite, Premier Inn, in favour of a 4...
