Dear Donna, I understand that this problem might seem a little trivial right now given everything else that's going on in the world. I hope you may have an answer for me nonetheless. My question is, do I give this boy another chance? We matched on a dating app some 9 months ago. I already knew of him as he…
Every time I hear the word 'budget' , I think of the Chancellor standing outside 10 Downing Street with that red suitcase and holding it aloft for the tens of paparazzi there waiting to snap a quick photo. Yes, budgeting. It's not easy. Whatever income you have coming in, it's all about prioritising, especially if you don't live in your…
Just a few short minutes and everything changed. Four and half years gone just like that. My heart was broken, and I was in shock as I watched him walk out the door for the very last time. I wanted him to turn around, come back, tell me we could work things out, that he would change, that we would…
Yes, spring cleaning doesn't have to just involve washing your curtains, hoovering under the sofas or Dettoling the kitchen cupboards (obviously you take the food out first) . It can also mean having a digital sort out. By this, I don't mean getting the screen wipes and wiping down your phone, laptop or Ipad screens. When was the last…
People keep saying things to me like ‘can’t wait to go out when is over’ as if it’s expected that we are all super excited about socialising again. We must surely all be desperate to get to that overcrowded bar with friends we’ve been avoiding for ages? No, I’m kidding - normalcy is an exciting prospect, but it seems we’re…
Well, I can’t even lie, this week has been one of the hardest I’ve experienced in a long time. As I sit here writing this, and I really reflect upon the last seven days, it’s hard not to be emotional – emotional that we’re muddling through it with great health and relationships (so far) intact, emotional about what’s to come…
Discovering I was pregnant last year took a little time for me to accept… To think I was actually going to give birth to a real life baby, I’d be adding mother to my CV and somehow would be responsible for another little life. Surely not? It just didn’t seem right. In my head I’m still stuck somewhere between Year 5 and…
I think I am not the only one who is struggling to find the words to make sense of the current situation we are all in? In the world we live in that is ever changing, fast-paced and oh so busy, in what feels like the blink of an eye, we find ourselves in an all-together different world and a…
I tell someone that I hope they feel better soon when they've caught a cold. I tell someone how much I love their outfit. I say a massive hell yeah to someone who has written a tweet we can all agree on. I tell someone how cute their cat/dog is. I let a blogger know when I've commented on their…
I must begin by saying that I worked from home for most of my work life, which is quite ‘young’ by the way, as I only graduated back in 2012. Being isolated at home isn’t very different, it is certainly all about your mindset. The first and most essential step during these uncertain times is to stay positive. Optimism and…
