About Natalie
Welcome back to Self Employed Mum. Thanks for visiting!
Hi, I’m Natalie and it’s possible that I’m addicted to t’internet or at least to blogging!
I am one half shopping and design and the other half relationship ‘expert’.
I’ve been blogging since June 2004 when I woke up in the early hours after a bad date and decided to start that blog I’d been thinking about doing. My tales of ‘woe’ and the downright ridiculous gathered a following and I started my relationship blog, Baggage Reclaim. I got wise about myself, found love, got pregnant and Bambino Goodies was born. All of this happened whilst I was working as a senior sales person for a big technology publisher. Whilst on maternity leave, I made the leap to being self-employed and I have been earning my living as a blogger since February 2008. I also publish Nest Goodies, Style Bambino and of course, Self Employed Mum with my mate Ali. I have also published an ebook (soon to be going into print) and back when I had time (time, what’s that?!), I even did sales and marketing consultancy. I have a six figure readership that keeps me very busy and I love inspiring people.
I live in Surrey right on the edge of London with the bambino, baby 2, and the boyf.

Hi Natalie just to say that I have come across your blog as recommended by Mums the Blog. But of course I “know” you through Brenda, who speaks so highly of you and says you are a great inspiration.
I will be following your blog from now on and also just to say thank you for the advice that you relayed via Brenda about my internet problem. Still ongoing but I assure you I will win the war!
Take care,
Nicky
Oh hello Nicola! Lovely to ‘meet’ you! I was sorry to hear of your troubles and hope it’s easing. Very horrid situ and so not what you need to be dealing with. Do let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help x
