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 life unexpectedly and I fell…
Dear Donna, I hope you are having a manageable lockdown number 3! I’m writing as I’d love some advice on what I can do to improve my home situation. I moved home last March because I didn’t want to isolate alone. I moved back to my mum’s house where I grew up, where it has just been…
Let's face it, 2021 hasn't got off to the best start. COVID is still hanging around and disrupting our lives, lockdown is set to stay for another 3 weeks at least, the weather has been a bit grim, we're missing our family and friends, and it's easy to feel like there's nothing to look forward to at the moment. But…
In 2020 many people saw a decline in their mental health and I was among the crowd. With the pandemic raging on every side and unemployment knocking at my door, my screen time reached an all-time high and my mental health plummeted. I battled with low mood and comparison daily and after crying ALL of the tears, I decided that…
*Posted anonymously to protect those mentioned* Dating and me have never got on smoothly. I would love to be one of these serial daters who can switch from one guy to the next without too much strife or heart ache. But it would seem that drama is my shadow, following me wherever I venture. Although I often tell myself that…
We made it!! You’re probably already bored of that phrase right? Well what’s one more use of it! Sorry if it makes you want to bang your head against a wall, I feel the same every time I hear “now more than ever” on tv and radio ads! Anywho, we did make it. We didn’t see this coming, we…
Dear Donna, I am writing to you as I feel confused as to what I should do. My best friend for a lot of my school years disappeared out of my life as soon as we left our home town. I always knew that she felt as though she was doing me a favour by being my friend, but I…
2020 was hard on everyone – including us singletons. Confined to our homes, many of us entered the murky and unknown territory of virtual dating. Then the summer came, and we finally had the chance to meet those people we had been half-heartedly texting for a few months. Some of us had summer romances which crashed and burned as soon…
Ok, this post is probably going to sound a little ranty, I can’t decide if it’s meant to or if I’m just having a bad day. I feel like I’ve been having a bad day since last week to be honest but here we are. First of all, I’m not a teacher. My child learns from me, probably some bad…
As we are entering Twenty Twenty-One, it’s time for a pep talk about your Twenties, got it? Over the holidays period, whilst sitting on the sofa wearing my glamorous overpriced black cow neck satin dress, I recently bought on a whim, matched with my pink slippers and drying up the drinks cabinet, I noticed a recurring theme on social media.…
