It’s no secret that I love animals. I’m that person at a party where, if there’s a dog or a cat, I will disappear at some point and just sit there smoothing and talking to them. I once sat singing Mr Brightside to my friends’ family dog at a New Year’s Eve party because she … Continue reading 3 Kitties and a Pooch
The third January of every month is classed as Blue Monday - statistically, the most depressing day of the year. General reasons for that could be because we’re all a bit down following the Christmas festivities, no one has any money following Christmas and the long run up to payday, and the weather is a … Continue reading Reaching Out to Loved Ones During Lockdown | Brew Monday 2021
So here it is, my final wrap up of the absolute piece of crap that was 2020. I’ll be honest, again, not much happened given the restrictions that we were under (thankfully we were only tier 2, now tier 3), so I feel this will be a rather short wrap up. I’m honestly so done … Continue reading December 2020 Wrap Up
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
I originally wrote this post back in Summer 2020, when Covid-19 had fucked up pretty much all of our summers. Some of us managed to get away and enjoy a staycation or two, while others were lucky enough to get a cheeky trip abroad before they brought in quarantine rules - however, we did none … Continue reading Summer Throwbacks
I’ve seen a few of these posts over the last couple of weeks so I’ve decided to create my own. While the COVID-19 pandemic has well and truly fucked EVERYTHING up, a good way to keep our sanity can be to have a look at the silver linings of what lockdown has meant for us. … Continue reading Lockdown Silver Linings
The 4th of May was my 28th birthday. As I write this I’m feeling that post-birthday comedown and feeling quite sad that it’s over for another year. Spending my birthday in quarantine wasn’t particularly the celebration I expected, but overall, I had the best day. In spite of everything, it was one of the best … Continue reading 28 | Quarantine Edition
Tomorrow here in the UK, it's Mother's Day. I won't lie, it's going to be a pretty shitty one this year. For the first time since I was at uni, I'm unable to see my Mum tomorrow. In fact, I haven't seen her in nearly 3 weeks because she's been poorly and of course, with … Continue reading My Favourite Mama J Memories | Mother’s Day 2020
A few months ago, I wrote a letter to my younger self. It was one of the most difficult posts I’ve written, yet it was one of my most successful. Writing a letter to myself in the future was one of the blog post ideas I’ve had written down since the very beginning, but I’ve … Continue reading Letter to My Older Self
Last week we celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. I can’t believe how quickly the last four years have gone by and I genuinely wish I could do it all again. It was the most amazing day with all of our friends and family, and I loved every second of it. So, to celebrate, I thought … Continue reading 10.10.15
