So, from the name of this post, you’re probably thinking I’m going to complain about being a mum to a little boy. Well, you’d be wrong! The problem with being the mama of a boy, is the expectations and gender specifics pushed on parents and the little boy. One of …
The first few weeks… Two words. Freshers. Week. I had no idea what to expect. Of course, when you have settled in your room and got your internet up and running, you start to get information about events that are taking place. Registrations, welcome seminars, module choices, Societies, clubs, teams …
I’d never considered the fact that I was ‘estranged’ from one of my parents. I knew that we were no longer on speaking terms, and that I didn’t consider them a parent anymore. It wasn’t until I read this post that I went, “holy shit I’m estranged from one of …
The build up… It seems like only yesterday that I was preparing to go to University (something I never, ever, ever thought I would do). The truth is, it was, errr, 17 years ago. SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO! I applied for 3 Universities whilst at College. All of them to do …

I think it’s safe to say that when you have children, you start thinking of all the possibilities they’ll have in their life. The type of person they’ll be and what they’ll experience (hopefully all good, and unfortunately sometimes bad.) I thought an interesting post to write (and to read) …
Since becoming a mum, I’ve definitely spent less time on my make up as I either don’t have the time or I just really can’t be bothered. However, since starting at work I’ve tried putting a bit more effort back into my appearance as new people shouldn’t have to deal …
As I’m writing this, I’ve official been back in the world of work for 3 days and although it hasn’t been long, I can honestly say that I love it. The company, the people and the job are all fab. I’ve been very lucky with the fact that I didn’t …
