A strong independent woman – that is what we should all be aspiring to be, right? The sort of woman that doesn’t take no for answer. The sort of woman who wouldn’t have to think twice about how to change a flat tyre. The sort of woman who is smashing every area of her life
So the other night Husband and I were in the thick of living our best rock n roll lives, watching TV in bed when I was certain I could smell something suspicious. Me: I can smell something, can you? Hus: Like what? Me: Like cheese. Hus: Yeah, I thought it was you. Smells a bit

Being knee-deep into yet another lockdown in England, I haven’t seen my significant other since new year. I’m not complaining – I know some people have gone a lot longer. But it’s tough and tedious and all the other un-typeable descriptors people are using right now. In a perfect world, we’d just move in together,
When lockdown 1.0 was announced I had just celebrated my 20th birthday, had about four weeks of teaching left of my first uni year and was about to plan a holiday with my partner. In the space of literal days my whole life, along with the rest of the worlds, changed. My mental health
This year, I’m turning 30. It’s a milestone birthday! But I’m also facing the fact that I’m almost 30 and still living at home with my parents. I’ve moved out twice – once was while I was at university and the second time was when I moved to London for work – but I never
Ah, unrequited love. A tricky business. I’ve been there, done it and bought the t shirt. It’s never pleasant to be in love with someone who doesn’t love you back. This was a experience I experienced during my non existent love life a few years ago. I remember this man came into my
