The other day my mum looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "you've finally flown the nest". I didn't want to break the bad news to her and Dad that I hadn't actually moved out. In fact, I was busy sitting on their sofa, watching their TV and eating my way through… Continue reading Flying the nest

I spy … a GREY HAIR
The other day I was strutting my way to the doctors listening to Cardi B on full blast. Then the doctor prescribed me with an orthopedic insole and I faced the horrible realisation that I'm 27 going on 97. 90s brunch I also had a dentist appointment to get dental braces (sexy), so somewhere during… Continue reading I spy … a GREY HAIR
Smuggy
Thanks to the Quarter Life Crisis, I've been so busy writing about when things go wrong in life, nothing prepared me for when things started going right. Mum: Hannah, there's a 6ft handsome man at the door with chocolate cake. *SILENCE* Me opening the door to my boyfriend when he made my favourite cake: It's… Continue reading Smuggy
Excuse me, there’s a greenfly in my Quinoa
Having spent 2018 scrolling through food stories on Instagram, it's no surprise that we've been welcomed into 2019 by vegetables. If, like me, you slept through the new year and only woke up to watch Birdbox, now is the time to Google 'Veganuary'. Girls Think I’m Funny Apparently, everyone has participated in the world's healthiest… Continue reading Excuse me, there’s a greenfly in my Quinoa
Reader, I bought it (and now I regret it)
It was only the other day, when I was online shopping-not-shopping, I somehow pressed the 'order now, have it tomorrow!' button. As it turns out, the power of persuasion really doesn't make your dreams comes true... But it does bring you an unnecessary and probably not environmentally sustainable fancy dress costume. Friend: "what have you… Continue reading Reader, I bought it (and now I regret it)
To be or not to be … what was the question?
A little while ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to be in a play. Thanks to the 'I wonder what would happen if' attitude I've adopted during my 20's, I thought about it for half a second before saying "fuck it, why not". The Midult I was expecting to feel nervous during the… Continue reading To be or not to be … what was the question?
QLC to room 101 please
You know you're an adult when doctor appointments become less 'help me, I have a cold' and more 'welcome to the party, here are my organs'. *You should probably stop reading now if you're squeamish.* The Midult But there's definitely no room for shyness when you're having an MOT on your reproductive system. If you're… Continue reading QLC to room 101 please
Alexa, please get me a light switch
Having grown up in the medieval days of dialling up the internet, I find it hard to believe that in 2018 there's more technology in a smartphone than in the first spaceship sent to the moon. AND harder to believe that I've mostly used this technology to do Buzzfeed quizzes to find out what type… Continue reading Alexa, please get me a light switch
It’s time to begin, so count me in … 5,6,7 oh I give up
There comes a point in adulthood when your hopes and dreams are met with reality... "When I grow up I want to be fairly good at Excel from 9 to 5 and shove as much food as I can in my face during my lunch break" - said no one ever *proceeds to do this… Continue reading It’s time to begin, so count me in … 5,6,7 oh I give up
I Do … (want dessert)
I recently wrote about the reality of breaking-up - the chore of untagging yourself from endless holiday photos and figuring out who should get custody of the pug-patterned oven gloves (me) and the toaster (also me). But once the initial crappery of the situation has passed, the time comes to face the world again and… Continue reading I Do … (want dessert)
