These are all the posts I’ve written relating to politics, parenting and my life in general.
August was maybe one of my favourite months so far this year. ‘But why?’ I hear you ask. Well, have a read, you lazy sod. It’s all there. (You can read January’s here, February’s here, March’s here, April’s here, May’s here, June’s here and July’s here) I started a real job I officially became employed for the first time in […]

Contains affiliate links! As June ended with a big plot twist, July was unsurprisingly a huge month for change (and having fun. Probably too much fun, my liver is telling me). The weather went from really really shit to boiling hot, my ex moved out, and various other things happened. BUT WHAT WERE THEY? You ask… Well, let me tell

June started out OK. The weather improved and we’ve been in the garden loads, the kids (and I) have been healthier so I’ve managed to get back to the gym. I’ve even started running a little bit outside with the dog. Everything just seems a bit easier when the sun is out. Also, it looks very much like we only

I am quite a fan of Vinted. I’ve been buying and selling clothes on Vinted with no problems for a year or so and, thus far, all of the people I’ve dealt with have been fairly polite and courteous. It’s a lot easier (and seems to involve conversing with fewer certifiably insane people) than, for example, selling on Facebook Marketplace.

I received the products listed in this Father’s Day gift guide free for inclusion, but they were all chosen and approved by me because I have it on good authority that no one’s dad wants a fitness app as a Father’s Day gift. This post may contain affiliate links; more details here. Father’s Day this year is on Sunday 16th

Another page of the very sexy calendar has been officially turned over. Or it will be tomorrow, if I manage to get this finished and published in time. Or on Monday, probably, as I don’t often go into the office at the weekends. Got to have a work/life balance, you know. ANYWAY, this is my fifth monthly installment of ‘my

You may recently have heard bloggers like myself (but probably better and more successful) moaning about the Google algorithms lately. While it may not be something you’ve paid much attention to if you’re not in the business, it’s big news. Eh? Come again? I’ll be brief because I know this kind of stuff is pretty dull: The people in charge

I’ve been blogging here for eight and a half years now and as well as allowing me freedom to work around my kids, I do actually make a decent* living doing it. It’s not all just free stuff, you can actually make money blogging. AND I can do it in my pyjamas to boot. This isn’t meant as a braggy

It has just been brought to my attention that it is somehow May. What the fuck? When did that happen?! This is my fourth monthly update in a row (you can see January’s here, February’s here and March’s here if you’re so inclined) which means I’m on a roll – there’s practically no stopping now. So let’s get down to

Disclaimer: I was sent the wallpaper from OhPopsi to review free of charge, but words and pictures are mine. It’s been a while since I shared a home decor update (you can see them all here). The best part of a year in fact; I concede I’ll probably not become an award winning home interiors blogger at this rate. The
