2015, the year that was….

…… responsible for a gazillion teenage hearts breaking, when “bad boy”(I am also doing actual air inverted commas here), Zayn Malik announced his departure from the most successful boyband of all time. Ironically named, One Direction….. that direction being, into obscurity.  A gazillion more hearts were broken, when the remaining members of the band announced […]

Thought for the day

I’M GOING TO DIE ALONE!!!  Half eaten by SOMEONE ELSE’S CATS (because I won’t even live with cats of my own for company). And maybe even a couple of stray pigeons, who have accidentally stumbled in through the balcony doors, will unceremoniously trample all over me with their stumpy feet, and have a little peck […]

One Direction??? I mean….

……….what was the point of you.  I didn’t, still don’t understand it.  Any of it. I really I don’t. I’m just going to come out and say it. Here goes…… I’m quite glad that Zayn Malik dropped the bombshell back in March, that signalled the beginning of the end of the most successful boy band […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #46

I’m a bit of a lush.  If there’s an opportunity to drink, I will. Brunch?  Fantastic, I’ll have a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa.  Thanks.  Lunch with friends; wine.  Dinner with friends; wine.  Date?  Bit of Dutch courage, glass of fizz while choosing something to wear.  Night out with the girls, fizz to get us […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #45

The World is a sad, broken place.  Where there are countries/organisations that consider freedom, democracy and joy a ‘sin’.  Where there are people who rule those countries/organisations with a rod of iron.  Where the concept of basic human rights are squashed flat and quite literally beaten out of those who seek it.  Where there is huge […]

Paris, Friday 13th November 2015

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Our hearts are with you once again, Paris. Love and peace will prevail. Xxx

Reasons why I don’t have kids #44

Did you not read my previous post?! So, writing from within my lounge fort, tiara tipped at a natty angle, I present the case against the defendant (Anne Pank), having children. Behold Your Honour, exhibit #44. This woman is a giant fraud, a child masquerading as an adult.  How could I successfully raise little people, when inside my head […]
