I'm sorry to harp on like a terrier but this sounds like an auto/biographical approach wherein one write oneself into the research. And what are we all doing writing this stuff 'out of hours'?

Subject: reflexive v reflective
As others have suggested earlier, the two terms are used interchangeably and there is little precise distinction between them.
I believe the term 'reflexive' arises from the reflexive pronoun 'self' as in 'myself'. It seems likely that a reflexive approach is one of intense inward scrutiny of the self whereas the reflective approach involves an examination of the wider situation and the actors within it, one of whom may be the self.
