I’ve been away on holiday with the kids for the past two weeks and with the additional head space I’ve been thinking about lots of content for my supposed book. Today I want to write about dating personas/stereotypes. A few months ago I was starting to think that I only attract a certain type of man to date. I wanted to get out of that cycle. It’s not been very successful in the past Originally I thought this was because I have a clear type that im attracted to. Dark hair, dark eyes, strong jaw line, sometimes a bit pretty looking and seems confident (probably slightly narcissistic!!!) So I d ..read more

So writing a book or attempting to is harder than I originally thought, if it was easy surely everyone would do it. There has to be a beginning, middle and end. There also has to be a genre. I don’t have a clue about any of this. My conclusion is just to write and hope that in the end I have something which resembles a book. Ive googled a few ideas about book writing and the google gods suggest writing about what you know about. I know about sex, sex , sex, parenting and work probably in that order. Sex has always been a huge part of my life and I don’t think I can write a book without speakin ..read more

Sooooooooo……. it been so long since ive blogged! I dont think Ive needed to do it since ive got things arranged in my head about the divorce and being on my own. I feel stronger and more in control. On the plus side my house purchase is finally happening within the next few weeks. Thats my new start. I’ve decided im going to try and write a book, I have some amazing memories, stories throughout my life and some truly ridiculous things which I’ve always been a bit shy in telling the full extent of those as they aren’t exactly PG13. But I think I need to get things down onto paper to fully solid ..read more

It seems like such a long time since I needed to sit down and pour out the ramblings from inside my brain. There has been something brewing ever since I became single and that is the social norm of inequality between parents. A few weeks ago I asked N what days he would like to have the children during the school holidays (this is something we agreed in our parenting plan – that holidays would be split). When we were married N never had to worry about this, I organised all of the childcare on one big spreadsheet. This day E is going here, J is there. The next day I have the day off work and I ..read more

When talking to a friend last week he made a comment that I was currently in limbo (he also called it dithering but I prefer limbo because it doesn’t make me sound quite as old ). I’d not really realised that I was, but I’m waiting: waiting to hear about the divorce (more on that later!) waiting for life to get back to normal waiting for schools to reopen waiting to buy a house waiting for N to get into parenting waiting to see if me and the kids can go away in summer waiting to move forward with my life What I am not waiting for is a relationship. A few weeks ago I wrote about someone I had ..read more
