When you least expect it.
Everyone always says, ‘you’ll find someone when you least expect it‘. I’ve always disliked this saying; I least expect to find a boyfriend when I’m in Sainsbury’s, with unwashed hair and probably a hormone spot just starting on my jawline. Or when I’m hurriedly filling up with petrol in the pouring rain in converse. Or,…
Radio Silence…
My lovely readers, I apologise for the radio silence. A while ago, I mentioned that I’m adapting my blogs into a book and for the past few months, I’ve been going over my old blog posts and editing them and trying to put the posts into a coherent format. However, that’s not the only reason…

As my readers will know, I LOVE Deborah Frances-White and her podcast, ‘The Guilty Feminist’. Well, now she’s written a book of the same name and her book tour ended in Brighton. You can buy Deborah’s book from Waterstones here. My friend and fellow blogger joined me for an evening of giggles, roaring laughter and…
Is it starting?
Not being a mum was never an option for me. But over the last few years, circumstance has meant remaining childless might be a consideration. Being single at 26 is fine, and I know many women (who want children) don’t have them until their late 30’s and early 40’s, however, I haven’t found someone I’d…
Sex and loneliness: The Italian and The South African.
The loneliness I’ve sporadically felt over the past few years has clouded my judgments. Often, I’ve approached experiences with the attitude of, ‘that’ll make a good chapter for the book!’ and so I do it anyway. Of course, this is why I kept seeing The Bar Man. Until recently, I’ve been using sex as a…
