This post is inspired by a couple of Facebook posts I’ve seen in the wake of the horrific attack on Drummer Lee Rigby, posts that said that all Muslims should be removed from the country. Posts that ignored the fact that people attack people; not those of specific gender, colour or religion, just people. Removing [...]
So last week I took my last Project 365 photo. It wasn’t intentional. I mean, I meant to take the photo, I didn’t mean for it to be my last! The next day I forgot to take a photo of anything, it wasn’t until the next day that I realised and rather than feeling panicked [...]
This is a sponsored post, but it’s still my real thoughts. I’m not a big follower of fashion. I wear what looks good on me rather than what the catwalk says. Also, being a bigger girl, it can be hard to get clothes that are “bang on trend” in my size, and often they just [...]
Over at The Daily Post there’s a daily blogging prompt. I’m signed up in case I am stuck for a topic or see something that inspires me. Today I find myself without an ending for the 100 Word Challenge, so until I think one up that post will be staying in my drafts. Meanwhile I [...]
This is a sponsored post, but it’s still all good! As you may or may not know, I used to volunteer at a charity shop and, unsurprisingly, we had a lot of clothes donated. Now, if you ask me that’s the best way to get rid of clothes you don’t want, it’s all for a [...]
This is a sponsored post but it’s absolutely fabulous anyway! So, you may or may not have noticed that I rather enjoy my photography! I’m currently attempting both a Project 365 and a couple of Project 52s, but we shan’t go into how I’m doing on those in this post! Anyway, it may come as [...]
People are dying because they can’t afford to eat. People are homeless because they can’t afford rent. People are suffering because of the healthcare postcode lottery. These are just things happening in the UK. Right now. And yet yesterday on twitter all hell broke loose over…wait for it…an advert. Oh yes, not over the budget repercussions or [...]
So today I turned 25. A quarter of a century. I made it half way to 50! It’s been tough going, and at a fair few points I didn’t think I’d make it, but I have, so today I’m celebrating! It’s been a very tough couple of years but this past year has seen me [...]
I’m a sensitive person. I was bullied in my first high school and it only made me take insults all the harder. I got through it somehow but I didn’t come out a stronger person, I came out a mentally ill person. It is not true, in my case, that what doesn’t kill us makes [...]
So for a little while now I’ve been tweeting and Facebooking about an exciting new project and today I’m sharing what it is because… Today my first post for BritMums goes live! From 7am this morning I was officially the writer of the Snapshot Round-up for them and will be trawling the blogosphere for the [...]
