It's been a long week. And yes, I'm aware it's only Thursday; on a Bank Holiday week no less, so technically it's only been a three dayer thus far. But I've been frazzled and tired all week, and my mood has been a bit bleak as a result. I mean, according to the people I work with, I get an aw[...]

So, this morning I was casually scrolling through Twitter, minding my own business. Picture the scene: I'm humming cheerfully, enjoying my Saturday morning coffee and eggs, listening to some old-school jazz. The sky is blue, and I'm still in my pyjamas. Okay, the part about the sky isn't true. Bu[...]

Back in the day, I'd say I wasn't a very strong person. I wasn't necessarily weak, but I just kinda let things happen. I stayed in relationships too long because leaving them would be too hard; I stayed in education too long because I didn't think I'd be able to find a job; I comforted myself with p[...]

Yesterday, my gorgeous Mum came to visit me in London town, and I had the most wonderful day. We did some lovely touristy things - visiting Buckingham Palace, strolling down Carnaby Street, and wandering through St. James's Park. It was awesome. I was happy.

Honestly, I have not stopped for long enough to even think, let alone write - but I've been lucky enough to have met some rea[...]

Perfection is something I'm pretty sure I don't believe in; it's right up there with the phrase 'nothing tastes as good as thin feels' and the 2013 Cliff Richard calendar in my 'List of Things I Strongly Oppose.' But sometimes, for reasons beyond my control - also known as this blog - I have to p[...]

Dear Minnie, I know it's been a while since we last spent any quality time together. We used to have a great time when we were younger, but then we grew apart. I went to college, moved away, got a job, and I'll admit - I neglected our relationship. And for that I'm sorry, because now I feel like [...]
