You know you're an adult when you take a trip to London. But you know you're truly an adult when you still get excited at the prospect of going to the big city. https://youtu.be/41XXQsY3Vic?feature=shared First up was getting the train, which comes with all the anxiety that everything will go horribly wrong. Losing my ticket.… Continue reading London

Burlesque
It was only the other day when I attended a Burlesque class in the centre of Manchester, I realised that any hobby which doesn't conform to societal standards is suddenly wildly appealing to me. Society: You're 32? Your hobbies are now M&S, complaining loudly in the garden centre, baby showers and repeatedly asking the physio… Continue reading Burlesque
The Confidence Crisis
You know you're in your 30s when you reach new levels of not giving a sh*t. But you know you're truly in your 30s when being unapolotegically yourself is the key to happiness. Turns out, it's not algebra like school taught us it was. Once upon a time (thanks to the Daily Mail), being a… Continue reading The Confidence Crisis
All I want for Christmas is a slow cooker
Thanks to the Quarter Life Crisis, there's nothing like Christmas to remind you that you're definitely not a child anymore. Gone are the days of 'hoping for a tamagotchi' and 'the cat threw up on my stocking again' - now it's more 'all I want for Christmas is an early night and a debt-free future'.… Continue reading All I want for Christmas is a slow cooker
The Hunger Games: Bottomless Brunch
You know you're an adult when you start factoring 'drunken regrets' into your monthly budget. But you know you're an adult in 2019 when these drunken regrets mostly relate to Bottomless Brunch (oh dear). If you're new to Bottomless Brunch, it's a chance to shove as much Prosecco and avocado in your face as you… Continue reading The Hunger Games: Bottomless Brunch
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)
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)
Oops I did it again
Every year, like most people, I have a birthday. And every year, grateful to have made it through to the 'next round', I face the same battle between 'call me Beyoncé' and 'well this is embarrassing, let's pretend I'm not here and go back to our normal lives' If this year is anything to go… Continue reading Oops I did it again
