Anyone else feel lost and disheartened when I'm A Celeb finishes on TV? No? Umm...ok. The public voted and Ant and Dec announced it's new Queen of the Castle, Giovanna (sorry for the spoiler if you haven't watched it!) as their winner. A great winner in my opinion, I was hoping her or Jordan would win it this year as…
*Trigger warning* ‘You’ve been the victim of a narcissist and he’s been gaslighting you ever since you were small. It’s a game to him’. There was silence as I took in what the counsellor was telling me. All these years I thought there was something wrong with me and that I’d done something to make him not care. Turns out,…
The month of lockdown 2.0 comes to an end in just a matter of days in England. I know that other parts of the UK have been experiencing different restrictions than we have in England.
