The other day I realised I was single. There I was, trawling through the supermarket when I approached the chilled dessert aisle. And that’s when I saw it. “Love Tub” I read aloud. “Neat!” – I exclaimed. A chocolate pudding pot for one! Oh. A chocolate pudding pot for one? A chocolate pudding pot for one. The more I said it...

Lurking in your partners workplace. Looming at the office party. Hanging around his favourite coffee stand. Emailing him on the weekend….‘Prowler’ is the name I have lovingly denoted to the people whom, intuition tells you, has their eye on your man (or woman). So it all began when I was having coffee with one of my friends back home. We began... Read the rest of this post...

So the other day – DON’T ASK me why but I was looking at LOADED’s online website (YES I do feel it necessary to type LOADED entirely in upper case – it’s a word that feels like it should be yelled or something – LOADED!!!).

This week I seek to question: Why do people date other people who look like their ex? So, some smart ass is going to tell me: Maybe it’s because some people just have a ‘type’?
