I wasn't particularly expecting to write this post so soon, but if 2020 has been anything, it's been utterly batshit crazy. Earlier this year I mentioned that we had started proceedings into buying another house, and things just started moving again when coronavirus took a massive shit on all of our lives. I'll tell you … Continue reading A Very Last Minute Hiatus
You’ll probably already know that Taylor Swift recently dropped a surprise new album - Folklore. My regular readers will know that I am a committed Swiftie, so this news literally made my day when I first heard it. I immediately ordered the album for my car collection of Taylor CDs, and streamed it pretty much … Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Folklore
Yes, it’s another one of those bloody letter-to-myself-in-the-past posts. Sorry. This was never actually on my content plan for the month, nor was it my intention to write another one of these letters, but if you’ve been listening to Scott Mills and Chris Stark on Radio 1 over the last couple of weeks, you’ll know … Continue reading A Letter To My 10 Year Old Self
It’s strange to think that I’m already writing my review for my July Craft Gin Club delivery, but here we are.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about live comedy, and how much of a role in plays in my life. Regular readers of my blog will know that Liam and I make regular trips to comedy gigs (you know, pre-covid of course) and last year we went to what was probably our record number of … Continue reading My Favourite Live Comedy Performances
I’ll be honest, these last couple of weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit of writers’ block. I’m not sure whether it’s been the stress of lockdown being lifted or a lack of motivation or whatever, but I’ve been struggling to come up with fresh content ideas. So, I’ve been delving into old notebooks where I … Continue reading Jewellery Box Stories
The 17th of July is National Tattoo Day, so to celebrate I thought I’d put together a little post on my tattoos and the stories behind them. I’ve written about my experience getting my first tattoo as part of my 30 Before 30 series (which btw, I’m SMASHING...jks I’ve done sweet FA this year), but … Continue reading Tattoo Tales
I can’t actually believe we’re over halfway through the year now. It’s been an interesting one. I for one am looking forward to how utterly shitfaced I’m going to get on new year’s eve this year, as I’m sure the rest of the UK - and indeed, the world - will. Out of all the … Continue reading June 2020 Wrap Up
Friday 10th July 2020 is National Kitten Day! While I love literally all the cats, I have a particular soft spot for kittens. Their teeny paws, their little meows, and just the fact that they’re so bloody cute. National Kitten Day encourages us to celebrate all the things we love about kittens and to promote … Continue reading New Kitten Care Tips: Four Things I Learned as a New Cat Mum
It’s that time again, folks. It’s time for another edition of The Therapy Diaries! Today, we’re looking at something a little different - my experience with hypnotherapy, which took place in 2015 during the run-up to my wedding to help me with my anxiety, emetophobia and (what was undiagnosed at the time but we now … Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 4 | Hypnotherapy
