It’s getting to that time in my life when almost everyone around me is getting married, having kids and constantly letting me know about these milestones by updates on Facebook.

Everyone has a handful of films which they can count on in their hour of need; that film which can always lift them out of a particularly rotten mood or that go-to film whenever they’re in need of some light entertainment. I have four such films: 10 Things I Hate About You, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,... Read the rest of this post...

I had every intention of writing a heart-felt post about friendship this weekend – I’ve just spent a couple of days with three of my oldest friends laughing uncontrollably, holding hair back with puke splattering into plastic bags and plenty of embarrassing stories of pants. But I’m afraid a positive post is not on the cards today. If you’re looking... Read the rest of this post...

So I have recently discovered the somewhat marmite world of online dating; some people are really open to trying it, others are very skeptical and are on creep alert at all times.
