Feeling the cold more than most in the team is Bubbles, who arrived home from Australia on Saturday. After a week in Sydney living it up on Bondi Beach and another snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef, she’s cursing the cold weather for forcing her to cover up her tan with layers of thick woollies.

Hatty Blue is also welcoming two new arrivals this week. Firstly, we’re more than a little excited to welcome baby Kitty to the world – congratulations to Annie and Nick. We’re looking forward to welcoming her into the office soon!

Secondly, beautiful 9-week old boxer puppy Lily has finally arrived – and the team is already feeling a little frazzled by her endless energy! At least all the running around is keeping us warm…

Feeling stressed? According to magazine Recruitment Matters, you are not alone. More than 13 million days a year are lost to work-related stress - that's more than those taken off for the common cold!

The magazine has compiled a list of top tips for staying calm and in control. The Hatty Blue team will be taking deep breaths and scanning their eyes over the list whenever the pressure hots up over the coming months...

1) Confront problems and unpleasant issues. Every 'live' problem at the back of your mind is a drain on your energies.

2) Be realistic. Accept challenges that are exciting and constructive - not those that are impossible - and practice saying no without feeling guilty.

3) Delegate/Prioritise. Delegate work that doesn't require your direct personal involvement and shelve work that can't be done now.

4) Accept occasional failure. See it as an inevitable, positive opportunity for developing, rather than a personal reflection on you.

5) Express your feelings. Let people know how their actions and decisions affect you, and how that makes you feel. Ask for help, avoid unnecessary conflict and look for win-win situations

6) Adopt a healthy lifestyle. A good diet, regular exercise and getting adequate rest means your body is better able to cope with stress should it occur. Avoid alcohol, nicotine and caffeine.
