Anxiety
Hello all, So, on re-editing the old posts that I found in my “Post Graveyard” I found myself a wee bit confused. Wow! I sounded so happy! I said things like “Life was great” and “I have so much to be grateful for“. I just sounded so dam fucking perky! I found a huge part …
The one about the wedding dress…(Continued)
Hello all, I know, I know it feels like Christmas. 3 posts in one week! After 2 years of deathly silence, even I am in shock! Anyway, so my story continues with me now still owning two ‘bloodied’ wedding dresses that I cannot exchange AND apparently I still need to pass “Assertiveness Skills 101!” I …

The Stars Are Aligning
Approximate reading time: 60 minutes Hello all, I’m back!!👏 Apologies that it’s been six months since my last post! To be honest it has kind of felt like my creativity-well dried up. I would be lying if I said I have even thought about writing during that time. But now, I think I am ready …
It’s just hair.
Approximate reading time is 12 min For the last 6 weeks (pretty much my entire Summer holiday😯) I have been applying for modelling and casting jobs. I haven’t really been discriminant… if I fit the age, height and size criteria then I applied. (uuhmmm…ok… if I didn’t fit the age criteria I still applied😏) During …
What I learnt from 6 months in Nursery. (Part 2)
Approximate reading time is 30 min All eyes on you Towards the end of the last term, I took an assembly with my nursery children and the two reception classes. At the end of the assembly I put up a YouTube video of one of the songs that we always sing and then I sat …
