But after spending a couple of years dating I can 100% assure you that they happen all the time. These men are out there, a lot of them, and it ..read more

For the last twenty years I have struggled with the winter months. Some years the darkness has started in November and not ended until March. I feel like it has become a self full-filling prophecy. I will feel tired, emotional, unsocial for months on end and I don’t know why I feel like this.

Aged 11 in year 7 of secondary school when two boys in my form told me I was fat, a normal siz ..read more

Lets look at my stats. Most of 2023 saw me active on Bumble. The female led app, as in the woman has to message the man first. I estimate I had ..read more

Whilst doing my 64 laps of the pool on holiday every morning I thought of brilliant ideas of content to write about. This being one of them. I want to share how I changed my money mindset over the years and how you might be able to as well. Much of this story is linked to life events, as much of our behaviour is. Enjoy the story. The truth. We can be not great with money, and then change it up to be good. I was good, then not good, then good again. It’s totally possible!
