I was watching some programme about germs today on television this morning (pleeease don’t go spreading it around; I don’t make a habit of watching daytime TV…) and it made me think about everyone’s personal hygiene. Personally, I can proudly say I am a clean person and that I always have been. However, some people [...]
Wellies are great; as great as a super-hip purple bum bag no less! Wellies – or Wellington Boots, for those of us who have been living long enough to know this – are things to be treasured: they are the holy grail of the shoe world, and the holy grail yet to gain [...]
I hate it when men call us chicks. Almost as much as when my boyfriend can’t tell designer bedding from regular bedding. I don’t like the expression birds much either, but at least there’s something sort of sweet about being compared to a gorgeous feathery thing that flies high in the sky, overseeing [...]
