Beach Etiquette
This is actually a post from last year, but it becomes very relevant during the summer months when we flock to the beach in our droves. Looking for peace and serenity away from the hustle and bustle that led up to our holidays. You will have noticed that it is within...
Puberty, Plaits and Peri-Menopause
If you happen to have had a daughter in your late 30s, the chances are pretty high that as she starts puberty, you may be starting the 'peri' menopause. This is scientifically probable. It is also further confirmed by The Drama Tween. Apparently, I will have my...
Do Do Dave and Na Na Nicky
So Dave has made the headlines for getting caught humming. Oh the joy. The joy of knowing that there is someone out there with my habit. Ok - so I don't have the luxury of a microphone at these times, nor a stage in Downing Street. But hum I do. The good news for you...
We’ve Turned Into A Nation Of Shouters
I am sure that I am not the only one that will be glad when today is over. You may remember back in April I wrote about feeling the need to understand more about the implications of voting In or Out. Where I held up my hands to feeling a lack of knowledge in the...
Going With The Flow

A Week In My Inbox
I think my name has come up in the National Email Lottery this week. I have won the Junk Mail Jackpot. It's fairly true to say that we all get a lot of rubbish in our inbox. Mine tends to go straight to trash. I'm sure yours does too. Several have caught my eye this...
My Situation Is Vacant
Wish me luck in my new job. I didn't apply for it. Neither do I have the appropriate skillset. This job doesn't take into account anything that I have done before. In fact, I've never been more unqualified for a job in my life. This has to be the only job that you...
Missing With Your Kissing?
Christmas and New Year are fab times for a smooch up aren't they. No wonder Mistletoe was invented. What a jolly good idea that was. I'd say it was about time someone invented something for when the kiss goes wrong too. Are you with me? Because as well as being the...
