Love? Life? Joy!
A few days ago, I had a Bridget Jones moment. I know you know what I mean; we all have them. (Image via) Those times when all you want to do is sit in front of the telly wrapped up in your duvet, while you eat ice cream and drink far too much wine. Not exactly a healthy activity for...

It’s getting to that time in my life when almost everyone around me is getting married, having kids and constantly letting me know about these milestones by updates on Facebook. Lunch with the girls has turned from, “guys, you’ll never guess what I got up to last night, I was so drunk and then…” to, “well we’re just sorting out... Read the rest of this post...

How many times have you heard a friend mention how grossed out they are by the idea of sex on menses? Actually, how often does anyone even speak openly about ‘riding the crimson wave’? ‘Hardly ever’, do I hear you say? I’m not saying you should have sex on menses – it’s a personal choice to make under specific circumstance... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve just started seeing someone new. He’s sweet, he’s nice, there’s none of these games that boys love to constantly play and it’s really damn easy. I’ve not once felt insecure, don’t feel the need to keep checking my phone and he even ticks all the boxes of The Potential New Boyfriend Equation. I even got references from his ex...

I had every intention of writing a heart-felt post about friendship this weekend – I’ve just spent a couple of days with three of my oldest friends laughing uncontrollably, holding hair back with puke splattering into plastic bags and plenty of embarrassing stories of pants. But I’m afraid a positive post is not on the cards today. If you’re looking... Read the rest of this post...

What makes YOU happy in a relationship? I asked myself that question nearly a decade ago. After a string of hopeless relationships that seemed to fizzle out all too quickly, I was single and lonely. So I made a decision. I sat down and thought long and hard about what I would want from a relationship and the kind of... Read the rest of this post...

So I have recently discovered the somewhat marmite world of online dating; some people are really open to trying it, others are very skeptical and are on creep alert at all times. Now I am of the opinion that yes, as with all social situations there will be some creepy people, but meeting creepy people can happen just as easily... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I realised I was single. There I was, trawling through the supermarket when I approached the chilled dessert aisle. And that’s when I saw it. “Love Tub” I read aloud. “Neat!” – I exclaimed. A chocolate pudding pot for one! Oh. A chocolate pudding pot for one? A chocolate pudding pot for one. The more I said it...

Imagine you went clubbing to dance away the week’s worries, but your friends ditched you for one reason or another. So, it’s the wee hours of the morning and you’re waiting outside for a cab. Alone. Suddenly, you hear a voice say, “I guess it’s just me and you, huh?”. You turn and see an attractive, seemingly nonthreatening guy. He... Read the rest of this post...

On Saturday night in early September three singletons met up on the East side of London for wine and a catch up. Now I don’t care what any one says but put a couple of single women in a room, give them wine, dim lighting and Maltesers and eventually THEY WILL start talking about men. It’s just science. The Bechdel... Read the rest of this post...
