Love? Life? Joy!
Today I threw a full-on wobbly because the house was a little bit untidy. Two Fridays ago I had to leave a bar my boyfriend was playing a gig in because every time someone tried to talk to me I nearly broke down in uncontrollable, sobbing tears. I’ve cried when someone has looked at me just because they were looking... Read the rest of this post...

Sometimes, just sometimes, you think you might be ready for something. And sometimes, when my friends are having babies and getting pets and doing all of that grown up stuff, I think I might be just about ready for that next step in life too. We’ve been talking about getting a puppy for some time. A lovely little bundle of... Read the rest of this post...

It’s been a long day. You’ve had a stressful day at work. Your gym was so packed with people doing post-work workouts that it frustrated you more than it relaxed you. Once you’d changed and got out of there, you were so hungry it felt like your stomach was eating itself. You got lost on the ride between the gym... Read the rest of this post...

I know you think you’re too cool to listen to my advice and you think you know everything about life. However, the truth is you don’t actually know that much, and there is so much you have yet to discover about yourself and the world. I’m now considered an ‘adult’ and I can tell you, even now, there are so... Read the rest of this post...

Clothes and I have a very limited relationship. I wear them, they are comfortable, occasionally they sport a colour, but mostly it’s black. I wear form-fitting items seldom, although I am almost always in skinny jeans. I feel uncomfortable in skirts, and the idea of a ‘Marilyn Monroe’ moment fills me with cold shuddering dread. Jumpers are my only accessories.... Read the rest of this post...

Yesterday, as I was sat against our living room radiator, cradling a cup of tea to warm my frozen fingers, whilst simultaneously attempting to stop the puppy from destroying everything in sight, the boyfriend popped his head around the door to say goodbye, with an added, ‘You haven’t got anything for Valentine’s Day, have you?’ And I hadn’t. And I... Read the rest of this post...

Time after weary time, I’ve had to sit through tedious conversations on why London is such a rubbish city. ‘Oh, its impossible to buy a house anywhere in London, ordinary people are getting priced out’; ‘The crime rates are shocking! You never get that sort of thing in Bath…’; ‘It’s too crowded, I can’t breathe on the Tube’; ‘There’s no... Read the rest of this post...

Most evenings I find myself sprawled across a sofa, phone in hand, looking at nothing in particular. Despite my constant scrolling it doesn’t feel like I’m getting any closer to finding whatever it is I’m searching for. Eventually, I throw my phone down, huff and puff my way to a standing position, and pronounce: ‘Urgh, I hate social media’. Yet,... Read the rest of this post...

Do you ever get the sneaky suspicion that your own body is trying to kill you? Forget about the carefree Tampax models frolicking in summery skirts and diving dolphin-like into a crisp oasis pool. I wish. Unless you are one of those the nimble nymphs of womanhood who only bleed a thimble on your period – you are probably banded with the... Read the rest of this post...

I love you. Three magic words. A million possibilities. The stuff that Hollywood rom-coms and Whitney Houston songs are made of. A few weeks back I found myself sat in cafe one rainy Tuesday evening in the heart of London’s Soho. One of my girlfriends had called me in tears – it was a CODE RED. As we clutched our...
