Dear Donna, Recently, I started chatting to a man on Twitter who I have known for a while. We have one thing in common in that we both support Liverpool Football Club and that subject was what started us DMing each other. Things seemed to be going well at first, he seemed decent and
Dear Donna, An anonymous question for you… Has my ‘friends with benefits’ situation got out of hand? I am in a situation that I would never have dreamed that I would get into. I am seeing a man who is double my age. He is 60 I am 30. It all started as a
*Disclaimer – be prepared to see the word ‘shielding’ a hella of a lot in this post Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you, shielding stinks. I’ve been shielding and in lockdown for such a long time now that I can feel myself going a bit crazy. I think people have spent less

Dear Donna, Before I get going with my problem, I just want to tell you that I’m loving the podcast so far. I can’t wait for the next episode to come out each Friday. Keep up the fab work. I’ll keep my problem brief. My friend is seeing a man who she knows is in
I’m going to start by saying, my lockdown has been by no means the most productive. I had many lofty ideas at the start of how I was going to become a #healthqueen, but honestly, I love the snacks too much and the thought of getting out of bed when I don’t really need to
What a time we’re in. When I imagined my second pregnancy, I could’ve never anticipated I’d be embarking on this journey in the middle of a global pandemic. When I first learnt of my pregnancy, COVID-19 had just made it’s mark in the UK with only a few reported cases- only 1 reported in Bristol
