To my friends and family who restored my faith in love. This time last year (a few days before the big V day) I was in a state. I had casually ambled into my local Waterstones to be unexpectedly ambushed by Valentine mushville over load. NOOOOOOOOO! I had been so distracted by the excruciating pain of my own breakup that...

So the other day in one of my drama classes we were exploring the chorus of Euripides’ Greek tragedy The Bacchae. So if you’re not familiar with this delightful play in a nut shell it’s about this gobby King called Pentheus who pisses off the god of wine and ultimately gets torn to pieces by a chorus of highly...

The other week I went to the hairdresser to get a health trim. As you usually do with hairdressers, I proceeded to have a lil chin wag with my stylist who happened to be the salon owner. He was trendy, friendly in his mid-late thirties. We got chatting about movies, celebrities, the British economy, you know the usual malarkey. He... Read the rest of this post...

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...

I awoke this fine new years eve to the squelchy sound of my cat crapping on a pile of dirty laundry in my room! Lovely. I am afraid as the New Year approaches I will have to take action against my furry little feline friend. If it wasn’t enough I had clear up faeces first thing this morning I also...

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?

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...

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?

So he picks you up from your house with a twinkle in his eye, he opens the door as you head into the bar, you flirt over jazz and drinks, he laughs at your jokes and plays footsie with you under the table… on the walk home he talks about how we should do this again sometime and then (now...
