I can’t believe I’ve managed to stick to this whole Slimming World malarkey for a full seven weeks, but praise the Quark Lord I have. I don’t know if you are like me, but I probably dabbled with every diet going, losing a little bit and then putting it all back on, plus another […]

Slimming World – Week 6 Results
Bonjourno! I’m back from my little three-day jaunt to Bologna and I seem to have brought back the most hideous cold with me. *cough* However, I wanted to let you know the results after following Slimming World for six weeks. I will write about my trip in a separate post but for now, let’s talk […]
Slimming World – Week 2 Results
First up, I don’t want to become a diet bore so I understand if this type of post isn’t your thing. Fear not, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of dire dating stories coming up real soon! But it’s good for me to write about my Slimming World results to try and keep myself on […]
New Year Goals
Well I don’t think my Christmas and New Year could have been any more relaxed … unless I’d been on my own on a Caribbean beach drinking cocktails and being fanned by Michael Fassbender that is, but bearing in mind I’m a lone parent doing everything on my own, I think I did pretty […]
5 Things I Learnt Last Week #3
What a week right? Such devastating news from around the world has made my little blog seem just so … frivolous. Every time I go to write something funny about dating or moan about how the washing is never ending, my fingers just can’t quite summon up the energy. I didn’t feel it appropriate […]
The Day L’Oreal Loved My Hair
I have been dying my hair since I was 14. I particularly remember one horrific haircut that was a shaved V at the back with a weird bob-like thing at the front. The front was bleached blonde (obviously) and the back V was dyed burgundy. I blame the 80’s. My mum, God […]
A weekend in Devon
It’s taken me three days to recover from my weekend, primarily because I spent it with 13 other bloggers in Devon courtesy of holidaycottages.co.uk. If you’ve ever been on a blogger press trip before, you know exactly why I’m so tired! I had been thinking about hiring a cottage for Christmas for Dexter and […]
Old El Paso to the Rescue!
I’ve been thinking about getting back in the saddle (no, I don’t mean the dating saddle, although I do have another story to tell you about later this week), but I mean the actual saddle … as in getting out on my bike again. I seem to have got into a routine of […]
7 reasons I haven’t replied to dating messages this week
My dating dry spell continues and so I thought if I started a discussion about why I’m not dating anyone at the moment, it might help me clarify in my head just what the issue is. So I started to write a list of reasons why I hadn’t replied to a selection […]
A Taste of Autumn with Higgidy Pies
As I gaze outside of my lounge window at the drizzle trickling down the window pane, I think I can officially hereby declare it pie season! You know that time of the year when we turn to casseroles, crumbles, pies and custard … aka my favourite time of the year. I mean summer […]
