8. PA Profile: Elizabeth Mendes Da Silva
Known as London’s financial area, it’s unsurprising to find Barclays’ head office nestled between the glittering skyscrapers in Canary Wharf, home to a string of other banks, from HSBC and NatWest to Citibank and KPMG. Walking inside the grand doors to the reception, I am soon greeted by Elizabeth Mendes Da Silva, my interviewee for the day, who is a PA and handles project management for mobile payments at the bank.
9. The top diets for busy lives
Emerging from the holiday period and into the new year with a full stomach, a sore head a mix of regret and satisfaction, the urge to diet is never higher than in January but where do you turn? Do you cut out entire food groups, do you turn vegan, or do you just start eating on smaller plates to control your portions?
10. Apps of the Week: Top Cooking Apps
It’s not the first time I’ve asked the question ‘where does the time go’ but in our busy day-to-day it’s a question that I find myself thinking (usually on a Sunday night with Monday looming in the distance). For many of us, January means less money, less energy and that general blue feeling that comes along with it. Reading about the potential diets I could be following right now is one thing, but putting it into practice is a lot harder, especially when it comes to rethinking your entire shopping trolley.
