I’ve been feeling the wrong side of shitty while suffering from a recent bought of stomach flu, but then I found this in a cupboard. Bubble wrap. Bubble wrap bubble wrap bubble wrap…. When I find a roll of bubble wrap and I’m all alone and nobody can witness what I’m about to do this is the feeling … Continue reading »
I suck at using nail varnish. Actually – correction – I suck at polishing the nails on my right hand. There is an acute distinction. Applying varnish to my left hand with my right is all fine and dandy. It looks neat, the polish is all within the nail area, it looks all shiny and the … Continue reading »
I don’t know what I’d rather – being run over by a steam roller a few times or continue to endure the stomach flu that’s currently holding me hostage from the confines of my toilet. Judging by the noises eschewing from the lower half of me I think I might consider giving the steamroller a go to … Continue reading »
I’ve joined a gym. I’ve never done this before. Mostly because I can’t stand sweating and jiggling in front of other people. It seems incredibly undignified to me. If I want to sweat and jiggle, I prefer to do it in the privacy of my own home thank you very much. I had undergone a … Continue reading »
When you first start dating someone it’s always nice and new and lovely. But when the honeymoon period fades slightly – what originally seemed like endearing traits start to develop into relationship bug bares. Soon you’re staring at your partner while they’re sleeping and wondering how this could ever have possibly happened … to you. Luckily … Continue reading »
Since Bestie and I have moved into our new flat we’ve both had to get used to using the shared laundry room in our building. Although a weird experience at first, this wasn’t a big issue. We just stored up our laundry and then went downstairs to battle for a machine and then haul it back … Continue reading »
I’ve a bit of a clear-out since I moved into my new flat. Storage boxes filled with unwanted bits of tat have been reduced to a pile of shredding, I burnt a sage stick to “smudge” out the bad juju that might have been lingering behind previous tenants, rearranged the furniture a few times – and happened to unearth one … Continue reading »
When things ended with Mr Wrong I went into survival breakup mode. This involves avoiding “his” side of London like the plague and relocating to a new, untainted area. Unfortunately for me, I had discovered an amazing hairdresser a short walk from our flat about a year before the breakup. He was a little Nepalese man … Continue reading »
Generally I’m a good baker. People at work have even offered to pay me to make them a birthday cake for a special occasion. However things go okay for me simply because I follow the golden rule of baking. The rule is – follow the goddamn instructions to the letter. I don’t mean follow them… “ish” – … Continue reading »
This is a ‘sing-along’ music video brought to you by ‘The Oatmeal’. Matthew Inman is a genius and I get my daily giggles from him when life is a little bit pants or I drop my toast butter side down. Check him out at: http://theoatmeal.com/ You wont regret it. Promise.
Okay… so when I was little I used to watch a show called ‘Lovejoy‘ with my parents. I loved that show. This was the main character: His name is Ian McShane. I haven’t personally seen him in any tv shows or movies for quite a while. But then I was certain that I saw him looking … Continue reading »
I have a dwarf hamster called Jerry. She was once a member of a two-hamster establishment, but sadly Ben passed away earlier this year. Which is very sad. They were so popular amongst my friends they even had their own facebook page. Yes, your suspicions have been confirmed, I’m the crazy Hamster lady. Then again, as … Continue reading »
Very impressed to stagger to the bathroom the other morning and discover that my boyfriend “Mr Maybe” had stocked up on my girly crap entirely uninstructed and of his own free will. This has never happened to me before. I didn’t even notice until I was sat on the loo opposite the shower and saw the … Continue reading »
Mr Maybe and I were pottering along one day when we passed Monument near bank tube station. I had heard you could climb the inside of monument when I first moved to London and always meant to do it – but as always with these things I never got around to actually doing it. It happened … Continue reading »
It was Mothers Day not so long ago. A day to pay homage to our Mum’s while brandishing arm fulls of flowers, chocolates, jewellery and baskets of toiletries covered in bows. I made such a pilgrimage to the countryside for a weekend with my parents, culminating with a Mothers Day lunch on Sunday. Everything started normally enough. I came down in the … Continue reading »
