Operation Christmas is now full steam ahead. Wherever you look, halls are being decked, hams are being glazed and credit cards are getting spanked. Only four more sleeps until the fat man comes down the chimney and we all slather ourselves in bread sauce and festive cheer. So just in the St. Nick of time, here is a re-run of our Christmas Survival Guide – to help you gracefully navigate yourself MORE +
The 2017 Festive Survival Guide (Part 1) – Playing Nice With Your Family.
Christmas divides the world into two types of people. One can be found skipping into the festive season, a joyous ball of tinsel and wrapping, wearing their ‘ironic’ Christmas jumper with glee, humming ‘All I want for Christmas is You!’ The other can be found grumpily buying shit presents, for relatives they are dreading seeing and not so much in the holiday spirit, as knee deep in a bottle of MORE +
Vocabulary Police No. 65 – ‘Sorry’
One of the most overused words in the female vocabulary is 'Sorry'. ‘Sorry’ has become our default setting, our ladylike way of softening the blow, of ensuring we won’t offend. Problem is, with blatant over-use ‘Sorry’ loses any semblance of power and majesty, and so in turn do we. So, today may I suggest we save our sorry’s for the stuff that really matters and resist the urge to apologise MORE +
SURVIVING THE SHAME DUNGEON – A Practical Guide to Not Hating Yourself
Ugh. BIG Night Out. The Next Morning you feel like death. Everything hurts, and you have a thirst so extreme you are unsure if you will make it to a liquid source in time. And you fell asleep wearing your contact lenses. Which are now stuck to your (severely dehydrated) eyeball. Perfect! But this half-dressed, mascara smudged, totally parched perfection, is nothing compared MORE +
The (Awkward) Truth About Cheating.
Google is awash with advice about cheating. Should you cheat? (No – Duh!) Should you admit it if you do? (Mmmm, Yes or No. It depends.) What actually counts as cheating? Varies wildly – some of us baulk at illicit thoughts, other are horrified by regular porn. One person’s flirty text is another’s full blown hurrah. Truth is, cheating is not even always about the sex (don’t believe me MORE +
Calm Down & Other Stupid Things Not To Say.
Nobody, in the history of calming down, ever calmed down by being told to 'Just Calm Down'. It's a stupid thing to say. And will generally have the reverse effect. 'Don't try and tell me to Calm Down!! I will calm the f*ck down when I am good and ready. I do not need you, or anyone else for that matter, telling me to relax, or to keep calm or to chill-out. I have never been more f*cking MORE +
How To Die Properly: The 2017 Guide to Going Out In Style.
When it comes to dying, most of us are doing it rather badly. We are in denial for the most part. Then in turns, scared and awkward, depending on if it’s us, or someone else, who is doing the dying. And oddly also woefully unprepared, especially bearing in mind, it’s an actual given. We legit have a whole lifetime to give it some thought, and yet most of us barely give it the one. This is crap MORE +
‘Do What You Love’ & Other Terrible Career Advice*.
I blame Steve Jobs. He made doing what you love look easy. Like hard work and love is all it takes to go from, 'just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees'. It's not just Steve - there are loads of people peddling this find-your-passion-and-pursue it stuff. And, quite honestly, it is making the rest of us look bad. I am not just being stroppy for the sake MORE +
Why You Are Probably Not Married (and why blokes give less of a Fu*k).
Let me guess. You are reading this because you are single and want to get married. Or are married and curious what the f*ck is up with all those poor single people who can't seem to. Or are a bloke, who has already stopped reading this 'cause they might still be single but they couldn't really give a stuff. Yes, this may be a very broad generalisation, but lurking beneath every blatant MORE +
The Problem With Envy (& all that grass is greener bullsh*t)
There is nothing more woeful than discontent and yet most of us are guilty of coveting the stuff we do not have. The bigger house, the better car, the hotter body, the easier ride. I am always bemused that most of my single friends want to get married and have kids, yet most of my married friends spend the whole time complaining about their husband/wife and kids. We are a fickle bunch and envy, MORE +
