This post may contain the odd affiliate link. Can’t blame a gal for trying eh? Well, January was quite a ride wasn’t it? You might have missed my updates – deliberately or otherwise – but essentially January started out a bit shit and then got slightly better. I had a few nice evenings out and I blagged myself some awesome

This post contains affiliate links Ho ho ho, hos. It’s CHRISTMAS. The most wonderful – and expensive – time of the year. A time to eat, drink and be merry. A time to knock back Bucks Fizz for breakfast. A time to watch our over-sugared children bouncing off the walls with excitement, while throwing out half hearted and unconvincing threats

This post contains affiliate links. Good evening/morning/whatever it is where you are and welcome back to Aunty Fran’s greatly revered advice column. I’m afraid I’ve been absent for a while, yet again. I went through all my excuses in the last episode but I’ve been away once more, this time to Prague (read all about it here), I’ve had an

Firstly, an apology. After promising that Aunty Fran would be back weekly, it has somehow been three whole weeks since the last episode. What can I say? I’m untrustworthy; lies spill from my deceitful lips like lava. The reason I’ve not been around is not because I’ve been signed up for a major agony-aunt TV slot, which is frankly outrageous,

This week, Aunty Fran has been a little busy. Moments after posting last week’s edition of Ask Aunty Fran, I received a rather nasty shock in my inbox (I know, there are probably creams for that etc etc) and I’ve spent the week trying to garner support for this petition to get Facebook and Twitter to pull their bloody fingers

This week, Aunty Fran has been on fire, figuratively speaking, helping those in need. Well, need is a little strong. Those that have filled in my Google Forms sheet (anonymously) with (real or entirely made up) problems that they want my take on, for what reason I cannot fathom. I’ve had a few big deadlines this week, so naturally I’ve

Having been a long term reader of the Guardian’s advice page, I recently noticed that it’s taken a decided downhill turn. Even the juicy ones are rubbish. Lately I find myself thinking ‘I could give better advice than that!’ and thus, I have made it a reality. Looking into it, I was shocked to discover that Mariella Frostrup has indeed
