I have a post in production that explains my recent blog slack, so please bare with me, but in the meantime Ive been bestowed some extreme problem solving wisdom from a makeup guru friend of mine Car...
As a qualified needle-phobic I have come to a post-treatment point where I no longer balk (OK I no longer cry and sulk and go white and snappy) at the thought of a blood test, but still I have a...
Ive recently had to go through the incomparable trauma of getting a new head shot done for the mag. Ive been bumped off the Tried and Tested panel since everyone knows my long hair shot is an out and...
This may seem something of a flippant post, but honestly, never underestimate the power of shoes. This all started with my original character flaw: massive worry. Im trying to live by a new philosoph...
I have finally finally had an entire spate of good news, that includes getting test results from my cats own lumpectomy, which happened the same week as my one. So now that were a whole cancer-free h...
In my formative years I was a collector of bouncy balls (by my own choosing), postage stamps and spoons (those were my grandfathers preference) and stickers (me again). In my early thirties Im acquir...
OK, disaster averted, Christmas is back on! Which is wonderful, with a tinge of argh, since I had put everything on hold until results day, which meant a frantic SIX HOUR shopping frenzy. In Oxford C...
The good news is Im sort of tentatively working on a book born from this very blog. A few people have pointed me in that direction, and as cathartic as the blog has been, surely a book will be even m...
I wont go into too much detail here, since you really dont need to know the inner and outer goings on of my body on a day to day basis, but if I never have to see another one of those blue stamped NH...
OK, I admit it. being a girl with very very short hair is HARD. Yes Ive been posting and postulating about how to make it look nice and what a difference a dye makes, but Im going to come out and adm...
Whatever the opposite of a nightmare is, I keep having a recurring one, whereby I wake up (in my dream) and my hair is flowing around my jawline. Oh what a mild and pleasant surprise, two years of gr...
(Dear Dadjokes and mankind in general. Prepare to be bored on a par with me having to watch back to back football while theres perfectly good The Hills reruns on MTV)... Its nice to feel useful. Even...
I apologise for my lack of posts, Ive been very busy negotiating the Nemesis of emotional roller coasters - may have been apparent from my recent uncharacteristic rantings - but also packing my socia...
Aside from new records in watermelon consumption and excessive wine use, I feel Ive achieved something this holiday. Back in April when I mentally planned a trip to light up the end of the tunnel, an...
Im blogging from my third day of a looong awaited holiday, where I promised myself no work (which includes blogging) but Ive unexpectedly reached the pinnacle of tactlessness and my sensitivity thres...
So this might be one of this posts where I do a bit of off loading and blather on about how Im really feeling, in the hope that it will be a common theme among a portion of the online population. Ill...
Since my fiancé (how grown up) pretty much has his own fan base these days, Im posting this guest blog even though its been lost in the depths of inaccessible malfunctioning hard drive for the last m...

While I try and urge my over-tired brain cells to come up with intelligent conversation, please bare with me. Writing this blog is cathartic, fun, indulgent and even intelligence boosting. I always m...
At risk of being branded a humble bragger* here are little links to my pieces in print, just in case you missed them. Although if youve ever met my dad or hes got hold of your email address, or you l...
Following a morning of rigorous and passionate spring cleaning Im having a mini melt down. Ive done it one armed. Not only does this increase the time taken by about 100%, it leaves me with a mental ...
I thought I was doing OK on the looks front. It has been my own personal challenge to beat the chemo appearance issue into submission. Which I was pretty confident I had done, based on many complimen...
My hair at least, seems to be something of a medical marvel. Im not sure how it happened but after the early reappearance its been a hot source of hairy intrigue for more than a few people. Not many ...
Although I didnt allocate my 6 solid weeks off work to pure convalescence, there was quite a bit of it what with surgery to recover from and all that. Sofa surfing aside (I still hate doing it ...
