GENTLEMEN! Boys, boys, boys! When are you going to wise up?   This week, amongst an influx of eager new messages, two in particular stood out from the crowd:  one lad and one mantoy (yes, there is a difference…) A ping-pong of chit-chat ensued which was pleasant enough, until whooaahh! first thing on Monday morning, […]

Do ya’ll remember that column I wrote ages ago about the 5 kinds of men we need in our life at any one time?  You know, a man who can fix things, a man you can talk to, dance with, have good sex with and a man that can buy you things, that column? Yes, […]

I had a pretty exciting time the other week, I spent several pleasant hours on a Sunday afternoon swinging my chopper in the garden. Yup I was chopping logs with a great big axe! Whenever I visit may parents in rural Shropshire, I usually get roped into some kind of manual task. Sure I moan […]

Your parents did it, your grandparents did it, and you do it (and if you’re thinking you don’t, then you’re doing it to yourself right now). Lying!!

Wow, I seem to have gone through a wormhole to a parallel universe – that of the Hitched. In my Year of Many Dates, I’d forgotten what that universe was like. No more scowling at snogging couples on the train. No dashing home to check for messages and views at the expense of cleaning the […]
