You may or may not have seen in various press today, reports about comments that Kim Cattrall made on Women’s Hour. She has recently spoken out about her feelings towards the term, ‘childless’, saying she feels that it suggests that women who don’t have children are somehow missing something. I am inclined to agree with her on this point. -less Word origin […]
After reading Alyson Walsh’s piece in the Guardian today, I took a long, hard look at myself in the mirror and decided I disagree with pretty much ALL of it. Firstly, that ain’t no grand embracing of nothing Ms Walsh; the change is barely visible, so don’t be patting yourself on your oh-so-brave back, just yet. If that […]
Bugaboo, Bugaboo, Bugaboo, what are we going to do with you!? A photograph from a Vogue Netherlands shoot was posted to the Facebook page of the baby buggy brand, showing a woman running in her knickers. Pushing her toddler in said buggy. Through the park. Like you do. The woman is in incredible shape. But […]
Well, maybe I should have kids, after all! *PSYCH! After some months of rude, crude and downright dirty online dating experiences, (did I mention the **Italian journalist who wanted me to call him ‘slave’, lick my stilettos and sent a late-night, drunken message about pee? Nope? Another time maybe); I have seen a tiny chink […]
So, the one who ruined it all for me was Hot Frenchie of February 2014 fame. Things would never be the same again. The bar was set impossibly high in Paris that weekend. With charm, dinner, a night time tour of the city of lights and well, you know….. Fast forward to this year, and […]
Crippling disappointment in the partner choices your kids make. Or just good old-fashioned bafflement, as in, “what were you thinking? Why? Just, when, what, who?” When I think back on what my poor old mum has experienced, as I’ve breezily arrived wherever, heralding the arrival also, of one or other of the men I was […]
After a week’s brief flirtation with different dating apps with different profiles out of curiosity, I found myself in possession of a handful of phone numbers, a date under my belt, two in the offing; and still none the wiser about why men are scared to just hang out and why they keep sending photos of their nether […]

You might have guessed, it might be apparent, that I am dabbling once again, with the dating scene….. then again, maybe not. It will also probably come as no surprise to you when I say, I felt the need to republish my “How to be a nice sh*thead, Part II“, this week. I’m always surprised, that I’m still […]
let me count the ways…….. I watched the Jonathon Ross interview with Madonna last week, by the power of my brain magic (because I live in Spain and it would be impossible to see it any other way). I watched it with the same excitement as the thirteen year old me, seeing her Like a Virgin […]
