In a break from my normal endless stream of trashy TV (which reminds me, I have a lot of Dynasty to catch up on!), I found myself strangely drawn to a documentary about Malala Yousefzai. A couple of years ago I was in an Uber on my way to RAK and the normal ‘where are…

Pure Anger
There was a Facebook post the other day that asked what the first item of news is that you remember. My family never had the news on very much. Mum doesn’t like that kind of negativity in the house. But I do remember the case of James Bulger. I doubt anyone in the UK could…
Sticks and stones
We are all told that little rhyme when we are growing up. It’s meant to keep us safe from mean words. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. It’s great in theory but it’s a lie. Words can hurt horrendously. It’s an obvious thing really. Don’t use the n-word…
True Hollywood Horror Stories
Anyone who has seen a newspaper, a news website, heard the news on the radio, or seen a tv screen with the news playing will know that there has been a bit of a scandal in Hollywood this week. Harvey Weinstein, a big name in both tv and movies, has been accused of sexually harassing…
STOP THE SPOILERS!!!!!!!
MailOnline, that means you! I hate you. You keep ruining the shows I am trying to watch. I don’t read the articles but the pictures, video clips and the headlines you use tell me pretty much everything I am trying desperately NOT to know. There are some of us who rely on catch up tv…
Self Sabotage
Hands up who does self sabotages? No, seriously. Do you? I need to know. Am I the only one? I am the queen of self sabotage. Today is just the latest example. I can pull 101 excuses for it but I honestly don’t know why I actually do. Let me explain….
Naughty, naughty!
I was having a little shuffle through Instagram this lunch time and found an account full of other peoples pictures, including mine. What was even more cheeky is that they had listed my recipe and claimed it as their own. Now, I’m not a vain person and I don’t do this to collect followers or get…
Armchair Detectives
I break with my catch up for an up to date event, because I have words in my head that I need to use up! Last night The Boy and I ended up watching the new Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix. We have always both been interested true crime type things, and so the odd…
Complete Cupcake Catastrophe
(Yes… I am apparently very much enjoying all the alliterations at the moment!!) Months back I put out a plea on Facebook for someone to come with me to a cake decorating class I had found. I didn’t think it would be The Boy’s cup of tea (although after actually discussing it with him, he…
Olympic Sized Objections to the Media
I feel a rant coming on. In case you’ve been living in a cave in the remote mountains of Outer Mongolia, you will know that the Olympics is on. I have zero interest. I never have, and unless I am invited to join Prince William and Prince Harry for a day, the likelihood of me…
