New year, New me! Bollocks …….. One thing I despise about new year is the onslaught of the ‘new Year , New Me’ morons who wait in hiding all year to jump out on January 1st and insult our intelligence by trying to get us to set un-realistic goals, which we will all break by…

There are lots of questions I don’t know the answer to for example: Why do people put sweetcorn on a roast dinner? Why hasn’t someone invented calorie free wine? And why hasn’t anyone made a more comfortable tampon? it is 2022 for heavens sake ! But when someone asked me the other day ‘what actually…

When the day decides it’s done. It’s gives way to the night. No questions, no time, it just happens. I guess death is a bit like that isn’t it. It comes. It takes its victims and then the cycle starts again. I’m not sure what I want to say in this post. I’m not even…

It’s started, well it started a few weeks ago. I think to be fair it never really stopped. I am a chubby girl and I am aware that in lockdown I may have put on a few extra pounds. I am short, I look at food and gain weight and have been this way through…

Last night , was just an ordinary night. I was binge watching all the tv I had missed over the past 4 years (I own a daughter who isn’t fond of sleep). My husband was in bed due to his early starts, said daughter had finally got to sleep at about 9pm and I had…

You don’t speak for me My womb is my own My breasts are my own My body is my own My eggs are my own You don’t speak for me My vote is my own My voice is my own My opinion is my own My decisions are my own My life is my own…

When I was younger, I had a habit of being banned from libraries ! How rock and roll! Mainly because I would forget to take books back, forget about the fine and end up owing about £25 and thus deciding that said £25 was better spent in Topshop. It’s not something I’m proud of and…
