Recently I have been thinking about tampons and man they are shit. I’ve been prompted by this ace poem by Hollie McNish that’s been going around, and also by having my period while away for the weekend. This is possibly the thing I miss least about the monthly meetings at my old office job! […]

Whisper Networks and Staying In Your Lane
For International Women’s Day, have a weirdly specific feminist rant… A few days ago a sweet man of my acquaintance retweeted something a woman said about whisper networks. He added that he would love it if the women he knew felt able to tell him these things as well, so he could work to reduce […]
Time of the Month – September 2017
Hello lovely readers! Welcome to autumn, a time bloggers are traditionally obsessed with. Is it because they love the reminder that one day, like the leaves, we will all wither and die? Probably. In Reading The Break by Marian Keyes I read this over the course of a long weekend in Romania and it is SUCH a good […]
Time of the Month – August 2017
Oh, readers. I am so rubbish at blogging, and for that I can only apologise. I’d promise to do better in the future, but that is my New Month Resolution pretty much every month and yet it never happens. But let’s try again… In Reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn My GOD Gillian Flynn’s other […]
How to Plan a Wedding

Starting Slimming World (Again) – A Beginners Guide
It has been three years since I started Slimming World. I know loads about it, and it works for me very well. Over the last six months though, my habits have been slipping. I’ve started feeling like I “need” biscuits to get through deadlines, pizza to help me relax. I’ve started buying multipacks of chocolate […]

If you’re thinking of booking a trip (and you’ve been able to find affordable accommodation…), you should! Here are some starter recommendations for you […]
Time Of The Month – January 2017

Doing Your Tax Return Isn’t That Bad
“Are you serious about this? Then get an accountant.” – Hilary Mantel’s top tip for writing. People really do wang on about doing their tax returns, especially in creative circles. The way people talk about it, you’d think you had to fill out the form in Russian, in triplicate, halfway up Everest. As a consequence […]
