THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE: I AM A FAN OF MY OWN COMPANY. Not wanting to blow my own trumpet or anything but...... here we are. Toot toot. Really, though. I make myself laugh. I give A+ pep talks to the mirror. I write good stuff sometimes and then sit there clutching my own arms as … Continue reading THE BARCA-LONER
Sometimes all you can do is put your Madonna playlist on and try your damn best. Which is your favourite Madonna song? Mine is Don't Tell Me but I am also a big fan of Ray of Light, because I mean who isn't. I genuinely remember hearing it for the first time on the radio … Continue reading THE IN-BETWEEN
OH, HI! What a week it has been. You know when you are so tired you feel like your eyes are only a few seconds away from falling out? It would be very dramatic for me to say that that was how I was feeling BUT I AM IN A DRAMATIC MOOD SO I AM … Continue reading HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE: ANOTHER FLAWED GUIDE
I don't live there anymore. The shed, I mean. There is a chance that I will go back to visit from time to time, not because I want to but because Things Happen and Life Is Unpredictable and that is just the way it goes.

I mean, I’ve been … Continue reading Dobby, drama and domestic chores

I will be honest with you and say I had a BLAST - I inhaled some fresh air, I ran along a muddy path like a five year-old … Continue reading Things to remember while you’re getting dressed
If I think back to being small, I remember liking two things above all else: Disney and reading. I liked other stuff too, of course: beanbags, Angel Delight and Jim Davidson's Generation Game, to name a few. But Disney and reading always came out top. This is me, havin' a good old read in bed … Continue reading #DisneyBookWeek: Making reading magical
The other day, I was running down the stairs at work and my shoe fell off. Like, one second it was there, the next I had walked out of it and left it on a step.
