Just now I was returning home with my sweet pup Peter after a walk to the garden centre to source a birthday present. We got to the field that we cover daily, when I saw someone who we come across often. It was strange to see her without her dog.When we got to her, Peter rushed up to greet as he does with most people that pass by. She said how she had lost her dog just yesterday, I exclaimed with

Blue January

2018-01-28T03:59:00.001+00:00

Isn’t January boring?Especially following December, when there’s three gatherings to choose from each weekend. I was watching a re run of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown earlier. On a Saturday night!Everyone’s doing their healthy thing by signing up to the gym, going on a diet, participating in Dry January and it is absolutely wreaking havoc on my social plans. Was really hoping it wouldn’t

My First Sunday date

2016-11-02T17:19:00.001+00:00

Thought maybe I would write about my 'romantic' encounters; analyse them, and unfortunately see what went wrong. Now, I like to go on a date on a Sunday; I'm usually subdued from a hangover and I think that's when I'm at my best. Sunday's are also my favourite time of the week to contact all my nearest and dearest when I'm fed up of being bed bound. This Sunday in the summer was no exception.

So the eagerly awaited seventh album by the Followill boys finally landed on my doorstep this October. Now I'm a fairly oldschool fan, discovering the boys at the age of 16, it was my final year at school and Aha Shake Heartbreak perfectly soundtracked it. There were dancey tracks, there were slurry lyrics, and there were cowbells. The boys have come a long way since then, I do continue to

So Friday evening came around quite quickly, the time for me and my boo to catch a plane to Northern Ireland and to party with her momma and to hopefully see the boy I fancied the last two times.The day had not started well, I had been up late watching the results of the EU Referendum, I then woke up at 5am and saw the fastly approaching confirmation that, in despite telling everyone "we're going

Snappy name, huh?

To elaborate on a later date...Favourite films about love. Well, saddest;Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindSo lets start with seeing a perfect first meeting. Watching this intruiging couple getting to know each other and it going just the way you want it to. Then the hiccup; is it really going to turn out that they've done this all before? Surely something so nice couldn't happen a second time

Sleeping in is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids

So I've decided to share my favourite Arcade Fire tracks. I've loved them since I was at school and a recent appreciation has made me rekindle that and I've listened to them a lot over the past few days. So we'll start with Rebellion. My first glimpse into them, it must have played 1,000,000 times in a row from 12am - 3am. Accompanying my five hour stint on MSN chatting to young men I've never

We found love in a hopeless place

2016-01-29T23:52:00.001+00:00

So I found love in a hopeless place. In Time, Cookstown, N. Ireland.All night I had been trying to find some attention from a male, I was more and more disinterested when these said males told me they were 23 and 21.Amongst the inhibition I even tried to kiss a geeky looking lad on the cheek, to no avail. Rejected by someone I wasn't even interested in, is this what life at almost 27 has got to?I

These children that you spit on, as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations; they are quite aware of what they're going through

As a melodramatic teen, I'm a melodramatic adult to be honest, but as a teen I was very impressionable. Especially when it came to my eldest sister. She had all the advice going and all I wanted to do was hear what she had to say. I remember being amazed hearing her recite all of an Alanis Morrisette song from memory one Saturday when she had me sat on her bum tickling her back. So, it was Helen

This is the longest time I've been single, since I was 18 I've basically been in one relationship to the next, from serious to fling, to one night stands which happened four times; there's always been something.I haven't been with anyone for over a year, (don't think I've ever mentioned that) and I mean literally with no one. Barely even flirted, well that's a lie but there is never an intention

It's the most wonderful time of the year

My sister asked me for a few words about Robbie, I'm guessing that alongside her newly published (and second!) book she is treating me to more words about my recently beloved.Wanna thank him for being my sidekick and moving around with me for all those years. I remember when I first got him, I would always go to bed really late because I didn't want to be without him. Even when I did go to bed,

Oh oh oh honey I need you round, I know, I know

Top ten songs about love. Not about the happiness of being smitten, or finding the perfect mate. But what happens afterwards; the ongoing arguments with yourself you have to deal with about making the wrong decision, when there was no way you could change his mind, and when they found love with someone else.1.

If I could turn back time a year ago today, I would have never jumped into the car. (This is just a low from being alone and inside all day on a Saturday of the bank holiday weekend in August)Just wanna be with my friends, feeling mega mega lonely.

Now that I'm older, my heart colder

2015-06-26T15:13:00.000+01:00

I have got to that time in my life, like most twenty somethings, where pretty much all my friends, family, and acquaintances are really achieving that family they've always wanted. And this post is simply to enforce, that it is ok to maybe be 'behind' where we thought we may have been ten years ago. Not that most of us need this; we are more than content with the lives we have. I would like

So, all of my shit is finally all in one place. Spent the last couple of days trying to find permanent homes for it all. So, let me give a rundown on just how ridiculous I am... A small cabinet next to my bed full of notebooks and diaries. A bag full of hats, a bag full of tights, two small suitcases of bags. A chest of drawers with pyjamas and bikinis in top drawer, followed by one with

If I could turn back time

2015-06-18T00:32:00.001+01:00

If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have screamed down the phone at you because you said you'd be an hour when I wanted it to only be five minutes.The case was always that you'd over compensate with time when I knew that in pretty much all circumstances, you'd be leaving in a second.You could have met my wonderful friends who I had an absolutely lovely evening with today. And maybe you would

I rented a van

2015-06-16T02:14:00.001+01:00

So, basically I didn't move all my treasures up north because I didn't think the move would last. But it has, and now I'm making plans, so with my cushty 17 consecutive days off, I am finally moving all of myself up. I had arranged the car hiring agency to pick me up at 9am so I could get back and be with my huns as soon as possible, the driver was a little late, but not enough to put me in a

Simply just five songs, played at random, and what they mean to me. A Jess Sturt classic. Still Life by The Horrors First heard it in the summer of 2012 I believe. I was in a relationship with a guy with the coolest music taste; On one of our walks home after a night out, we lived around two miles away from the town centre, we were discussing the rubbish choice of music that had been

January 5th 1975 Dear Dave, Hoping that you are as well as I am. Isn't time flying? Things are not so good here in England. Prices have risen shockingly high and we're all wondering how we're going to survive. I've not spent large amounts of money these last few weeks in an endeavour to save our money to help us in the future. But even so I'm shutting out all realities and trying to enjoy, well
