Watching the Tom Cruise 'Mummy film'And reading about the 'Dark Universe' that got cancelled. Finding it kind of funny... like everyone just collectively decided 'no thanks' 🤣 It's not even that bad, but it is weird seeing Cruise in it. It must be his least succesful / biggest...See More »
Who is in the wrong here?Maybe it's neither, I don't know... but it's annoying and I need to vent 😅 I am a very punctual person. Not only is it polite, it's just not that difficult... If I'm meeting someone somewhere, I look up how far it is, how long it will take to...See More »
Back to the rat raceI am so bored of work, not even my job specifically... just work 😩 Maybe bored isn't the right word, I just don't want to do it anymore. I spend longer and longer in bed once my alarm goes off, to put off getting up and getting ready. I've worked...See More »

Who wants to rescue me? 😆I can't go to bed because of a spider... I am usually ok at removing them but this one was so big and fast 😭 It has gone behind the drawers right next to my bed and normally if I can't see them they don't bother me but then I thought 'what if it...See More »
A question for the AmericansHow dare you? No, I'm joking, that's not it. I am having my nightly bowl of cereal (why does it taste much better at night than in the morning?) and I found myself wondering 'what actually is oatmeal'? Is it what everyone else calls porridge (an...See More »
What are your bathtime essentials?I've got really in to baths as stress relief / relaxation time. Who else goes all out for bathtime, scents and candles etc? I love a scented candle, bubbles, and a book or podcast and I am set for at least an hour.
Whyyyyy do I love sleeping, but hate going to bed??It's almost like the longer I put off going to bed, the longer I have to look forward to going to bed. Which is just crazy. It's 11.30pm and I just started watching an episode of something that is 45 minutes long so it'll be the wrong side of...See More »

Treating myselfBest feeling in the world is new pjs and new sheets, after a hot bath. It has been my favourite little treat ever since being a kid 😍 Candles, a podcast, fish and chips in front of the telly and then bed. Rock and roll, Helen 🤟
So angry at what I've read this morningI know it's the Daily Mail which has its reputation for a reason, but can't believe this article today. A 'journalist' has printed just a lot of fatphobic nonsense disguised as serious article. She makes so many nasty comments and assumptions that...See More »
