A little while ago, I came across an awesome little site called TubeCrush.net. Not only does the concept kinda validify what you always wished you could do, but also provides you with a little form of entertainment whilst resembling a sardine on the bloody Victoria line!

Having tweeted my finds regularly, it’s fair to say I’ve made a few boo-boos along the way. For example, not turning my phone on to silent… three times, having the camera shooting the wrong way… once, leaving my flash on… twice. The last time, the very best I could muster was “busted” before shuffling along the carriage. To celebrate my amazing failures, the lovely guys at Tube Crush made this for me:

I think this is now certification that I am the real life Bridget Jones. But heck, what an achievement. Thanks guys! x

We’ve all been there. That somebody embarrasses themselves. Normally the person that doesn’t get to go out that often. Here are some tips to keep you safe this Christmas season.

You’re welcome.

Go forth and partay!

The itchy hair on the top of boys lips has finally gone… much to their relief and ours. This video celebrates their efforts and the end of a very hairy month. Well done boys.

Happy Friday folks.

Much love xox

There are many things us girls can do… for example multi-task. In this week’s video, I look at some of the other reasons it’s better to be Eve than Adam. Enjoy.

I’d love to hear your thoughts… oh and boys, I love you really

We’ve all been there, there’s a person who has never heard of personal space and/or hygiene. I’ve had more than my fair share in the past week, so I’ve created a video with things you wish you could say…

We all know that we won’t actually say anything, but let’s treat this as group therapy and I won’t charge. Promise.

We aren’t complex creatures, really we aren’t. We eat, sleep and drink the same as men. It appears it’s just our minds that are wired differently.

This week’s video includes tips to help you better understand women. You’re welcome.

Further tips and suggestions are welcomed in the comments below. Oh and if there’s anything else you’d like my extreme opinion on, feel free to ask

Whilst I’d love to tell you that girls can’t wait to be asked out and willingly oblige, the truth is, this isn’t the case. There are times, believe it or not, where we actually don’t want to. You might have 3 heads. You could have terrible B.O, or just spinach between your teeth. All this and yet somehow we always find ourselves saying yes, when what we actually mean is no.

Fear not girls, I’ve compiled a list of believable excuses that will get you out of this very situation. They took quite a while to think of. I’m here to look after you.

I’d love to hear your contributions in the comments, they make me very happy.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Ever wondered whether you’ve been single for too long? You’re not alone, fear not. When asked by a friend whether they’d been single for too long when at a wedding last week, it got me to thinking.

I shared my thoughts in this week’s video.

You’re welcome. No, really.

So, my birthday came and went. I’m still alive you’ll be pleased to hear… unless you’re a hater of course Turning 30 has actually been quite empowering and nowhere near as bad as I feared.

I’ve shared some of the wonderful, weird and funny things you experience when 30. I’ve had the whole of just over a week, so I’m experienced in the subject as you can tell!

I’d love to hear your thoughts too. That’s what the comments are for peeps.

Big hugs and much love.

As a little girl, I used to go religiously every Sunday looking at antiques with my parents. Whilst they would look at “proper” antiques, I’d be given £1 to spend on antiques of my own. Before long, I’d taken to collecting postcards… all of which had to include images of dogs. Note, I think this may also have been around the time that I was leaving letters all over the house begging for a puppy!

At least 20 years on and I’ve just re-discovered them along with cigarette cards. I thought it might be nice to post them here to share with you. The first is one of my favourites.

 

It seems amazing that in a world where privacy is everything, people used to rely upon words on a postcard… visible to everyone to see.

 

From what I can make out, I think it says:

Dear D,

Thank you for pretty we received this morning unfortunately it has been cracked right across in the post. I walked over to see Annie & Tom last evening. It looks rather stormy here today but has not rained yet. I suppose it is saving up for Saturday.

Fondly & with love from

Your Percy

Longest day today.

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed these as much as I have. If so, I’ll post some more over the coming days.
