It’s been almost nine months…NINE MONTHS since I put some words down on here. I can’t quite believe it’s been that long but I also can believe it. It’s been a struggle, I’ve not had much to say, and I wanted to wait until I had some answers before updating you all. March 2020…

Life Lately: Cosmopolitan, Cockapoos and Catastrophising
My blog turned three earlier this month and I completely forgot all about it; I’m pretty bad with dates as it is so I’m not really surprised that I missed it. So happy blog anniversary to me! Anyway, I thought I’d write a little life update post as it has been a while. Writing If…
Little Man Life #3
It’s been a ridiculously long time since I’ve shared some of the hilarious and often adorable things my nephew says so I thought it was about time I got onto that. If the kid doesn’t grow up to be in showbiz it’ll be a miracle. Mum – What have you come to Nan’s for? KP…
Little Man Life #2
My little dude is a complete chatterbox and since my previous #LittleManLife post, he’s said a lot of hilarious things. I chat to him regularly over the phone and on FaceTime and he always makes my days brighter, even if he will sometimes only talk for a few seconds. He’s 4, he’s hella busy, I…
Firsts: First Alcoholic Drink
Do you ever have those memories that are so clear you can almost see them in your mind as if you’re an outsider looking in? As if they happened yesterday? This is how I remember my first experience with alcohol. I’m 30 now and haven’t had a bevvy in almost five years. Mostly because it…
Taking the ‘Step’ Out of Stepdad: Blood Doesn’t Equal Family
‘Family is not defined by blood, it is built and maintained through love.’ My grandad Ray was technically my mum’s stepdad; my brother and I knew no different and grew up calling him ‘grandad’ because that’s exactly who he was. We (my mum, brother and I) moved in with my grandparents when I was five…
My Relationship isn’t 50/50
This doesn’t bother me in a way that I’m fixated upon it, but it is something in the back of my mind; especially with regards to how outsiders view things. My relationship with my boyfriend, Ian, isn’t 50/50, it’s not equal. What I mean is, he does absolutely everything. It seems like his whole being is consumed…
A Day In The Life: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
This week it’s Hypermobility Syndromes Awareness Week #HMSAware and obviously it’s really important to me as I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3. What many people don’t realise is that the HMSA (a bloody amazing charity) take all hypermobility syndromes into account, not just EDS, and it’s vital that the other hypermobility syndromes get enough attention…
Life Update #2 We have a House
Hey, guess what? WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! First off let me apologise for not posting on Friday, I don’t like missing/changing schedule as I’m a stickler for a routine, but I’ve had a completely justifiable reason. A week ago, Ian and I got the keys to our new house and we’ve been so busy getting…
