How do I keep getting it so wrong? Why is it so hard to find someone who likes you, who you like back and who is prepared to get to know you a little better in the hope that you might be able to navigate the complexities of a relationship together? Any ideas? I am … Continue reading Shut up and kiss me
... and I'll cry if I want to. Actually it was less of a party and more of a begrudging acceptance. My birthday! Yes, there it is again. Or rather there it was, gone in a flash, leaving a trail of misery and devastation behind it. OK, I'm exaggerating. It wasn't quite that bad. Having … Continue reading It’s my party…
Almost begrudgingly, I have re-instated my dating profile this week. I am less than a week in to it and already I want to hang myself from the nearest rafter. It just makes me want to swear. We have been talking about swearing at work this week. I swear a lot. Obviously these outbursts have … Continue reading Don’t make me…
I have recently spent more time reading blogs than writing them. I have lost my inspiration. I can't remember the reason why I started all this in the first place, or even if there was one. I know, I get bored, often. If you are a regular reader you will know we have been here … Continue reading Growing up…
Another year is almost over. I always feel a little melancholy at New Year. The week in between Christmas and New year is a time when no one really knows what day it is or what they should be doing, if anything. It is an odd, almost suspended time. As I sit here now I … Continue reading A new dawn…

December crawls by slowly as we count down the days until the … Continue reading It’s Christmas…

I wish there was such a thing as 'the big … Continue reading Ho ho ho….
This week I have discovered that I am NOT a size 12. It has taken me some time to admit this to myself and it has come at some considerable cost. I am what is generally known in dieting circles as a yo-yo dieter. I have no clear plan that I follow and no rules … Continue reading The girl is getting fat …
This week I have mostly been humming and hawing about my return to online dating. Ridiculously, I am quite scared. Other than my five-minute delve in to the baffling world of Hinge, which it has to be said wasn't very successful (rightly or wrongly I put this down to my age), I had decided I … Continue reading My heart will go on…
Sod's Law is a constant in my life. If I wait, it will never happen and if I go, it is too bloody soon. I wait patiently for things to happen and they don't. As the end of another years looms just ahead of us, I can't help but think I shouldn't be here. Not … Continue reading A moment in time…
