I Will Survive (in India)

joytravel

I spent pretty much most of New Year’s day chundering my guts up. ‘Same as every year then’ said one of my mates a few days later, as I hopelessly clung to my laptop praying the dongle would hold out long enough to have a decent Facebook chat. ‘No, you don’t understand. I’m fighting for survival here!!! Hello? HELLLOOOO??’ But... Read the rest of this post...

Hello from India!

Hey Peeps, Hope you’ve all had a FANTABULOUS CHRISTMAS and ZAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Unfortunately I am in the depths of India at the moment (all shall be explained) and have no phone and a very small dongle (no… that’s not a euphemism). Alas my internet usage is very limited.

It Takes All Kinds to Make a World

So every summer, there is roughly three to four weeks I spend in isolation in this tiny little shed with no electricity sitting like a forlorn shetland pony peering out of the stable-like split doors at the pitiful British summer rain, squinting desperately in my shadowy cockpit, clinging to my copy of Grazia for dear life as the wind rattles...

Little Miss Crazzzy

The other day I was walking through town with my mother when she suddenly announced that she thought I was a control freak.   Beg your pardon? A what???? Moi? ‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ I said, before suggesting that she pick up her feet because we were running late by approximately 8.5 minutes.  As I briskly power walked along the pavement, tall...

YOU SPENT HOW MUCH???

This week I am guna rant about money judgers. One thing that quite frankly gets on my tits is people judging other people for what they spend their money on. Now, we have all heard about yuppies making less financially secure people feel bad about their material inadequacies but I have noticed increasing snobbery of the opposite kind. I mean...
