Social media can be a wonderful thing but in the hands of a serial moaner, it can be a terrible thing. I grew up in a varied amount of kitchens as my family ran pubs in London. (We were strictly not allowed in the bar area, or if we were, it was a massive treat…
Read MoreIf the Mayans are Right..
December 21st is one of those days I want to come quickly so everyone can stop talking about the end of the world. Enough already, why are we so quick to adopt the Mayan Calender? I wasn’t born Mayan and neither were you, and the prophecy is largely internet and western world based. Hard to…
Read More2012..in words
What a year. 2012 – you did me proud! As the time nears for me to start thinking about my infamous New Year resolutions, I have been reflecting on who I was at the start of the year. I started off reading back through some old blog posts. The reason I love this blog so…
Read MoreSocially Acceptable Coffee
I was chatting away to a friend this morning, we were lazily browsing and he showed me Flattr. I then tweeted out what do people think of Flattr. a twitter friend came back, it’s better than the ‘buy me a coffee on Paypal’. Both of these were new to me, I haven’t worked in social…
Read MoreA bluer shade of blue
Something just occurred to me. Looking at my apps, I noticed that most of my social media apps are blue. It made me wonder if the secret of success in social media lies in colour. Is it such a ridiculous thought? Isn’t it interesting that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, and Foursquare are .blue? Even our…

It’s no secret i’m made of marshmallow and fluff, I love romance and will spend countless hours in a Mr Darcy comatose position dreaming about nice things. I like nice things. I’m a proper girl and I might just be the last one who believes in heroes. This quote from Paul Wentz has always made…
Read MoreSightseers – Q and A at the Cameo, Edinburgh
I don’t want to spoilt this film so all I’m going to say is that it’s a bloody good British film, go and see it, (and go and see it at the Cameo). As a typical girl, there’s a few parts were I hid behind my hands, which you need for the story to work, so…
Read MoreAction, Argo and Advice
One if the best pieces of writing advice I was given at college was, action moves things along. This dropped into my mind again tonight as I was talking to a friend about a short film I’m in the process of putting together, (a cutesy story you’ll all love, am sure!) Can I be in…
Read MoreOne Year On
I met an ex last week for a coffee, (okay wine, I mean wine), it was not a relationship that ended well so I was interested to see how we reacted with each other when face to face. He came along where I was hanging out with friends, (friends to act as buffer) and although there was…
Read MoreOkay, I Admit it, I’m In Love….
Everyone always says that you only fall in love when you stop looking. If you don’t force it, if you stop looking, that’s when it turns up. I’m surprised, I have to say. A few days ago, out of the blue I realised it had happened. I was in love, I am in love. I’ve…
