Hello Miss Frosty!

Oh gawd – I think as the Coca-cola ad comes on telly? ‘Holidays are coming, holidays are coming…’ Oooh man! Has it really come to that sodding time of year again?

Come Fly With Me

It was just one of those weeks when I needed to do something adventurous. I was getting a bit itchy you see, a bit restless…. All term commitments had been nicely wrapped up; I was beginning to panic about my first Christmas in 4 years without my ex-boyfriend in the picture and I felt exhausted just thinking about my holiday...

Teenage Dreams

I am not ashamed to admit that when I was about thirteen years old I wanted to BE Britney Spears. I joined dance classes, practised interviews in front of my mirror and I frequently dressed in tank tops and trackies. I even tried to get my dad to be my manager. ‘Day job?

All Creatures Great and Small: Love Thine Hamster!

Let’s Get Down with the Trumpets

So have you ever been in a situation when you’re chatting with some people, maybe some mates, and you mention something about yourself that you suspect they would probably find surprising, it may be a personal accomplishment, piece of family trivia – you’re related to Colin Firth etc – whatever it is, there is a completely valid reason why you...

TAKE THAT Dad!

Intense.

 So I had a bit of a meltdown this week. I actually went slightly AWOL. I almost broke down into tears at uni – a complete mess… And now I feel like a giant penis.

Lets Not Get Off on the Wrong Foot

kevin-baconjoyblog

So last night I went out. I haven’t danced so vigorously (outside of my bedroom) for literally years. I was gettin my grroooove on people! And it felt incredible.
