I love this idea. I am so neurotic about the idea of stuff going to landfill that my house is mainly filled with polythene, packing noodles and old bits of plastic that I cannot bear to send to the dump and do not trust my council to recycle properly. TerraCycle recycle everything. All bits of weird plastic, cigarettes (!), styrofoam… View Post
You may remember that a few weeks ago I was complaining that it was fucking impossible to find a nice holiday to go on for half term YES I KNOW BOO HOO POOR ME – the first person to say “First World Problems” gets shot okay? That was funny the first time someone said it and it’s not funny now… View Post
A while ago I moved over to a regime of Balance Me products – with a couple of others thrown in – because my skin was misbehaving so badly and doesn’t respond that well/at all to being told to stand outside and think about what it has done.

I have had a request to discuss flat shoes for work. A great question and one that causes me slight pangs of regret and desire as I have in my life no real need for flat shoes for work. My “flat shoes for work” are trainers. Or flip flops. Or the squealing sound of a thousand unfulfilled creative dreams as… View Post
I’m incredibly angry with someone at the moment. I am punch-the-wall, scream into the abyss furious. This is unusual – when I was young and angry all the time I was constantly having ranty hypothetical conversations with people who had slighted me or taken against me (because I was so angry and snarky and rude all the time to everyone)….

You may remember a few weeks ago I posted a question from a reader on how to kick-start a flagging freelance career and you all went bananas with some brilliant suggestions. Last week I was contacted by Lisa Unwin and Deb Khan, who are the authors of She’s Back: Your Guide to Returning to Work , described by Arianna Huffington as… View Post
