Lessons From the Classroom – Maths

It’s time for my next instalment of Lessons From the Classroom, and it’s a beefy one. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that maths was never my strong point. Today, I’m delving into all of those repressed memories of that little wonky-toothed bespectacled child who never quite understood anything beyond… Continue reading Lessons From the Classroom – Maths

Craft Gin Club Subscription Box Review | May 2021

I was thrilled that my May Craft Gin Club box arrived before April was even over. As a result, I’ve pretty much finished this month’s bottle at the time of writing. May’s box was probably one of my favourites so far - admittedly, I wasn’t a huge fan of the cocktail or the snack offerings,… Continue reading Craft Gin Club Subscription Box Review | May 2021

Tay-Tay Top Five: Fearless

Okay, so before I get into this I want to clarify something. Today, I’m talking about the initial release of Fearless. I appreciate that we have recently seen the release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version), and I admit right off the bat that it is far superior than this one. However, I felt it was still… Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Fearless

Crazy Lady Watches Normal People: Episodes 11 & 12

Well guys, we made it. We’re at the end of my Crazy Lady Watches Normal People series. If you’ve made it this far, well done. I’m the first to admit these posts aren’t exactly critically acclaimed reviews, so if we’ve stuck with them this far, I love you. I may have had a gin before… Continue reading Crazy Lady Watches Normal People: Episodes 11 & 12

Lessons From the Classroom – English

I recently discovered a folder full of my old school reports - literally from reception right up to my final year of sixth form. My Mum kept them all over the years and gave me the folder a few years ago, and I only just came across it again. One evening, I got a bit… Continue reading Lessons From the Classroom – English

29 | Another Bloody Lockdown Edition

I can’t say I ever expected to have two lockdown birthdays in my lifetime, but here we are. Despite that, my 29th birthday on the 4th May was still a good one, and this year, since discovering and falling in love with Baby Yoda - sorry, Grogu - I didn’t even mind that people were… Continue reading 29 | Another Bloody Lockdown Edition

April 2021 Reading Wrap Up

I can’t believe that as I’m writing this, we’re now into May. Where the hell has this year gone? I’m determined to keep smashing through my TBR list, and while I still haven’t quite beaten my record set in February, I still managed what averaged as a book a week, so I think that’s pretty… Continue reading April 2021 Reading Wrap Up

29 Lessons

This post is becoming somewhat of a birthday tradition. I started this coming up to my 27th birthday, and I’ve updated the post each year after. It’s interesting looking back on last year’s post - as my naïve little self had been hoping lockdown would have been over by the time my birthday on the… Continue reading 29 Lessons
