Hello there. I’m Andi, a working mum who, like many people, has an incredibly busy life. Until recently, by day I was an Academic Registrar for a University – a really demanding job that required me to be highly strategic and super organised. By night I’m a mum of two, wife, dog mother, family CEO, logistics manager, director of finance, housekeeper, head chef and yes - chief bottle-washer! Home life is wonderful but often chaotic. Don't get me wrong, I get lots of help around the house but, when it comes down to it, I'm the one that deals with all of the 'domestic admin'.

However, I'd be the first to admit that my systems at home are not the most transparent and this has often given me a niggle of concern. When in the workplace, we often speak of systems, of not relying on 'tacit' knowledge, of the importance of contingency planning and business continuity - if something happened that meant that I suddenly no longer attended work (let's say that my Lotto numbers came up rather than being run-down by the proverbial bus!) then there are systems in place that would mean that somebody else would be able to at least access all of my work and take over.
