Who, being loved, is poor?

Who indeed.  And who was it who said this?  Why, the inimitable Mr Wilde of course, and as always; he was completely right.  Except not about actual poor people, with or without love they are really, as in the dictionary definition; poor.  No amount of trying to beam amour from your eyes intensely into the […]

Dry January ends today!

And guess what I’m going to do tomorrow. Go on, I bet you can’t………. a big fat nothing. Nothing is going to change.  Last year and the year before that, the first time I did Dry January specifically, (I’d taken time out in January before, before it was even a thing), I found it a […]

Thought for the day

I just looked at my stats, and I’m one page view away from ten thousand. This is nothing short of in-CRED-ible in a couple of years!!  I know it’s not a gazillion, but for a newbie, complete novice – it’s freakin’ marvellous. So, I say a massive: I promise to keep rambling and writing nonsense, […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #48

….. Donald Trump, David Cameron, George Osborne, doping scandals in athletics, crooked football organisations, crooked police, crooked politicians (in every country), Sepp Blatter, Vladimir Putin, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin’s son, BoB (rapper and flat earth believer), The Flat Earth Society, Kim Jong-Un, religious bigots of ALL denominations, Westboro Baptist Church, corrupt bankers, governments who don’t hold […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #47

Did you not see the size of my tiny suitcase!?!?  What with the precision planning and the high heels and condoms, where would the toys and nappies and kids go? As well as limited space, I’m also working with a very limited budget and time here.  Money and time allocated to drifting the days away, […]

Travel tips for PANKS

BOOM!  Copenhagen booked for March……  largely in part to escape from the fact that I will have just become five years away from the big 5 – 0.  Freakin’ out, freakin‘ out, freakin‘ out….. (I foresee this is the way it will be every five years from now until, well, until infinity.)  But also to […]

How did we ever survive without the Kardashians?

After the enlightening SIX-MINUTE instructional from Kourtney Kardashian this week, on a ‘life-changing’ method of eating a Kit Kat, (and really thank God, I’d been avoiding those fingery little devils like the plague, because I just wasn’t sure), I took a little step back in order to reflect.  I mean, for the most part, my entire everyday […]

Being a single non-mum ain’t all doom and gloom

….. in fact, it isn’t at all!  (Well apart from the usual grown-up angst about where you can recuperate the money you spent on a new bag, to pay the leccy bill.  But you don’t have to be a PANK to worry about that shiz.)  Por ejemplo, ¡mira!  I think it’s always nice to get a […]

Hi there 2016, what have you got for us?

So, we’re a week into 2016 already, and it feels like any other year, right? WRONG! This is the year that our collective brain is highly likely to melt out of our ears, creating something that closely resembles the primordial soup from which we came.  How do I know this? Drummond Puddle Watch What a time […]

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 […]
