I turned 34 today. My friend told me recently not to worry about it because it’s only 2 x 17. Like, 17 is a smaller number so less scary. But I think that’s the first time it dawned on me … Continue reading 17 ways life has changed since 17
Christmas Day will no doubt come with all your coupled-up friends announcing that Santa left them an engagement ring under the tree this year (imagine if Santa proposed to you?!). Facebook will literally be filled with sparkly diamonds. You’ll probably feel very single sitting in the onesie and cozy slippers Santa brought for you. But, there are many good things about being single at Christmas. Yep, I’ve thought of 9 reasons and decided to compile them in a list, just for you. I’m good like that. 1. It’s far cheaper. People spend an insane amount of money on their other … Continue reading Why it’s better to be single at Christmas.
As this week has been the week before pay day and I have been incredibly broke. I have Christmas to pay for and a ski trip next year… and you know pints to buy every Friday and Christmas parties to go to and (possibly) buy new clothes for. All the important things, naturally.

An apartment in New York. Manhattan, preferably. 2. Free flights to and from New York whenever I want. You know, so I can live my transatlantic lifestyle with ease. 3. It’d be handy to have … Continue reading My Christmas list…
Blog every day in November (BEDN)… I didn’t do so well at this when it ran in May. I think I managed to do two posts… I’m not promising I’ll do better this time round, especially considering that I am also attempting NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, where a participant is challenged to write an entire 50,000 word novel in the month of November) so it’s looking like I’ll be spending a lot of time on my laptop this month. So, today’s BEDN topic is ‘New About Yourself’. Which is interesting, cause I don’t think there is anything new about … Continue reading What’s (not so) new about me…
