5 ways to cope when things are crappy
Constant, crushing, paralysing pain. This time last year I was in a really bad state of affairs. I had been made redundant from a job I loved, my relationship was seriously on the rocks, I was working in a (new) menial job that was beneath me and very hard work, my rent was a huge […]

Are you a charity ‘slacker’? How social media has created a culture of ‘slactivism’
Fred Clark is a blogger, at the Slacktivist blog for Patheos’ progressive Christian channel and is also a graduate of Palmer Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

What I do wrong as a woman- the definitive list
This is a personal post about my failings a woman. These things that I am trying to attention are not everywoman’s problem – these are my problems and mine alone. But maybe you’re like me? I would count myself as a feminine woman with a developed masculine side. I look very feminine: I have long, […]
30 irrational things I do when I get PMS
Here is a list of irrational things I do when I get PMS. I get very bad premenstrual syndrome. I get this every single month. I feel that this has been getting worse as I get older and at age 34 I find myself quite irrational and hyper-sensitive for about one and a half weeks […]
Why I love getting naked
I have always enjoyed taking off my clothes. This is a post about nudism, not exhibitionism, although I can say that I am an enthusiast of both at times. It’s fine – this post has an M-rating and I am not trying to frighten you with my nudity. You can read this post safely. I […]
Things that are Sweet, Fluffy and Not at all Controversial
Well ho bloody hum, blog readers. You’re lucky I am here at all. Finding no less than three separate people upset by my ramblings yesterday, I am considering shutting this platform down and taking my ramblings elsewhere where I can no longer be found.

I Look Like a Bimbo – But I’m OK with That
I look dumb. It’s OK – I know this. I have looked a little thick my whole life.

Botox: How I Have Wrinkles and I Don’t Care
I am not a huge fan of plastic surgery and I have been quite vocal about this in the past. Last night I saw a very beautiful woman, she was probably about my age, 34. I actually couldn’t really tell because she had obviously had quite a bit of work done to her face; not […]
Children in 2013: Stressed, Anxious and No Time to Play
In 2013 kids are different to when I was a little tyke in the 80s. There is talk amongst teachers and parents that children today are over-scheduled and have inadequate time to explore the world and their own minds through free play time. Do you agree? I spoke with Teacher Lennie to find out why […]

Coffee Cups? Pizza Boxes? Surprizing Things You Cannot Recycle
Everybody loves recycling. Everyone goes mad for it. But people are stupid. They think they can recycle anything and everything. You cannot. Some crazy person put a used paper coffee cup in the recycling bin at my workplace the other day. Madness. Sheer madness. From Greenpeace themselves: “Coffee cups are…not recycled. Every plastic coffee cup […]
Bad Manners on Public Transport: How to Catch a Sydney Train
Public transport: I get it every day and it sucks. I live in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. No one can deny how gloriously beautiful Sydney is – but I have one bugbear that I’d like to rant about today. Sydney trains No one likes catching the train to work. If I had my […]
