Is love enough? In short, it should be. But is it? When you get down to it, if you truly 100% love each other, of course it’s enough. It’s better than enough. It’s perfect and amazing and you wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s like a movie, all blazing passion, kissing in the … [Read more…]
I’ve read lots of posts were people write the ultimate bucket list. Things for people to do before the die, or before they turn 30/40/50, and it inspired me to write my own. This isn’t a list of things for other people to do, its just a list for me. I probably won’t do half … [Read more…]
I think, to an extent we all judge people sometimes. Does that make it right? No. But we’re all human and it happens. If you don’t know a person’s back story, you have no idea why they are acting the way they are. Its a cliché but its true that you shouldn’t judge someone unless … [Read more…]
Lying. We all do it. There’s so many different types of lies: giant whoppers of lies, little white lies, lies by omission, exaggeration, purposely misunderstanding. And then there’s all the reasons we lie: lying to yourself, lying to make someone feel better, lying to make yourself look better, lying to avoid confrontation. Where does it end?

When I realised how little evidence there was that she was even there on the night in question, let alone had committed the murder, it makes me wonder how she was even a suspect, let alone the accused. In this country, … [Read more…]
When people think of inspirational women they think of people like J K Rowling, Kate Middleton, Emma Watson and various other celebrities. When I think of inspirational women, I think of one of my best friends. To say she hasn’t had it easy would be a massive understatement. She left school with no qualifications … [Read more…]
I read the 50 Shades of Grey book pretty much as soon as it came out and I have finally gotten around to watching the movie. I must say the movie was not at all what I was expecting. Whilst the term thought provoking may be a stretch, it did make me think. Some women’s rights groups are … [Read more…]
I took my Nana shopping the other day, and of course she insisted on going to Marks and Spencers. I tried to talk her out of it, but she’s very set in her ways. It was full of pensioners, hardly anyone in there younger than at a guess 70ish, except perhaps people like me … [Read more…]
The school in Sale that sent home an 11 year old for dressing up as Christian Grey for World Book Day has certainly divided opinion today. In and of itself the outfit was in no way offensive – its a grey suit. So I can only assume it’s the character they found offensive. You can’t … [Read more…]
