I was lying in bed the other night and it occurred to me that this is my fifth Christmas as a single woman. I have mixed feelings and thoughts about it, so here I am, virtually sharing my innermost feelings with you, strangers on the internet! Now I’ve umm’ed and aah’ed about talking about […]

Dating | Cold Fish
I would be the first person to admit that I find dating difficult, increasingly so the older I get. You may have seen me mention I had a date last week and that it went well but I’ve chosen not to see this guy again, for various reasons … well it’s thrown up something […]
Online Dating – Pete the Plate
For those of you that read my recent online dating post, ‘7 reasons why I haven’t responded to dating messages this week’, you may have seen me mention Plate Man in point 3. I went on to say that I wouldn’t let his apparent obsession with collecting plates put me off, and we were […]
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 […]
Dating | Reply or Ignore?
As I mentioned in my last dating post, I have been given a month’s free subscription to Match.com. I thought you might like to know how it’s going. It’s not really. To be fair, I haven’t had the time this week to dedicate to finding a date, but someone did message me […]

Dating | When A Man Doesn’t Want Children
I thought it was time for a dating update. Things have been quiet. Very quiet. I am out of the habit of dating, nor have I had the inclination to bother. I check my messages on the free dating site perhaps once a day, in the hope that my preconceptions about the site […]
The Best Ever Marriage Proposal
Bonjour! So, as you may have seen via ALL my social networks (sorrynotsorry), I went to Paris this week. It was amazing! And I’ll be writing up my account of our day later this week. I was most excited about seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time and I now totally […]
The Love Letter In The Cafe
THIS IS MY SHOCKED (POST-CYCLING) FACE I had a very eventful Sunday morning. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Dexter’s football match wasn’t until 12pm, but rather than laze in bed all morning (well, I did some lazing), I decided to go for a bike ride. I know! The weather was beautifully […]
Dating | A Level of Loveliness
For those readers who also happen to be Facebook friends, you will know that I had a date last week. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect as the night before I had received that message from that random guy, calling me fat – you can read about that here. Anyway, I […]
