The other day I was annoyed. Really fucking annoyed! 6pm on a Tuesday night waiting for the tube on the crowded platform. Sweaty, dirty, fed-up, frustrated, stressed, cramped in a confined space… I couldn’t even read properly coz someone’s armpit was in my face! There are times when I must ask myself: WHAT IS MY LIFE?!?! This was one of... Read the rest of this post...

We all live in our own comfort zones – you know, that little bubble of safety where the walls are soft and the landings are made of feathers. Routine is easy and the only thing that makes you nervous is having to see the in-laws, bumping into your ex boyfriend or being dragged into your boss’s office. But stepping out...

Almost everyone I know is stuck in that part of life where they’re happily bobbing along in their early twenties and then realise that 25 is just around the corner. FIVE YEARS UNTIL 30. Eurgh. Anyway, the mid-twenties crisis has popped up on my Facebook news feed a lot recently. “10 ways to get out of your quarter-life crisis”, “12... Read the rest of this post...

Okay I am going to confess two things to you. DON’T TELL ANYONE. Number one I love Ted. No, not the philandering teddy in the hit 2012 movie (although I do love him) or Hot Ted who lives down my street (okay okay I kinda do love him too a little bit).

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, and those that bring up lots of questions.

I think one of the hardest things in life is to watch someone achieve great things while you are still struggling to get a break.

Photo via The sun is shining. La la la… Life can be so wonderful can’t it? La la la WHEN YOU DON’T LOOK AT THE NEWS. ‘Whatever you do, DON’T turn on the telly’ my mate exclaimed, appearing in the kitchen as I groggily brewed a cup tea Sunday morning. ‘What? Why?’ I said.

WARNING: THIS WEEKS ENTRY HAS A LOT OF SWEARING! If there is one thing I just can’t stand (other than Christmas and very small children) its rudeness. I mean it is so unnecessary.

So the other day I was casually walking towards my house when I saw my ex-housemate across the road from me. As he looked over I gave a little wave. He sorta clocked me but instead of waving back he just blanked me. SOME PEOPLE. Determined not to be ignored I gave another wave. Blanked again. This time I waved... Read the rest of this post...
