My debut novel, Beauty and the Bin was partly inspired by my food journalism, particularly by a column I wrote for the Guardian, about giving up supermarkets. For twelve months, I whizzed nettles into pesto, baked my own bread, grew vegetables, and stocked up on everything from chilli flakes to tomato ketchup at my local independents.
Q&A with Joanne O’Connell, author of Beauty and the Bin
This week we talk to children’s author, cookery writer and journalist, Joanne O’Connell Q: Hi, Joanne, how are you doing? What are you looking forward to this year? I’m very well, thanks, and I hope you are too. I think, like most people, I am really looking forward to spending time with family and friends after the lockdowns. I can’t wait to see everyone again! Work-wise, I’ve got lots of projects on, and I’m excited to do some in-real-life events for my debut children’s novel, Beauty and the Bin.

Review by Kelly M, Media Last updated on 10 Apr 2020 My Recommendation An interesting and thoughtful debut from Joanne O'Connell that looks at growing up as an eco warrior while tackling the usual trials and tribulations of being a teen. Characters are extremely well written and very easy to connect with. It's a story that leaves you smiling. Buy this Book on

Swift sign offs: a guide to settlement agreements
Settlement agreements are a helpful tool if you want to swiftly part with a member of staff. The idea is that an employee is financially incentivised to leave their job: the deals are legal, amicable (as possible) and they allow everyone to quickly move on. And while the agreements have been around for five years, (they replaced compromise agreements, in July 2013) arguably, they are more useful than ever.
How can I best approach my employer about flexible working?
I’ve returned to work after having had a baby but I’m struggling with the office hours and childcare. How can I best approach my employer about flexible working? Juggling work and childcare is difficult at the best of times. But if you’ve just returned to work after a baby, it can be particularly tricky. Fitting back into your old role (let alone your work clothes) when you’re also coping with sleepless nights is stressful. And that’s when things are going smoothly.
Ask the employment law expert
Q: “I’m about to go on maternity leave and I don’t know what arrangements I’ll need when I come back to work. What should I do before I go, to make sure I’m covered in case anything goes wrong on my return?” A: It’s a great idea to keep your options open at this stage. And it most cases, it should be relatively straightforward to return to your job and apply for flexible working once you decide what you’d like to do.
