Love? Life? Joy!
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...

On Saturday night in early September three singletons met up on the East side of London for wine and a catch up. Now I don’t care what any one says but put a couple of single women in a room, give them wine, dim lighting and Maltesers and eventually THEY WILL start talking about men. It’s just science.

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).

The other day I was doing some work in one of those coffee joints where everyone shares tables – I mean you can’t get much more cosmo than that. The creatives, student’s, musos, pensioners and wanderers all bunged together seeking warmth and caffeine. I nabbed a brilliant cosy corner where there was even a potted plant on my table. How...
