How often do you wash your bedsheets?
OK, I'm officially grossed out. Apparently the reputation the poms have for being the great unwashed extends to their bedlinen. A recent poll conducted by the Daily Mail suggests that half a million Brits wash their bedsheets just three times a [...]
Does your plate say “Slow down fatso”?
Just what we all need, a talking plate that nags us when we're eating too fast. Is it not bad enough that we're told to eat less fat (or is that more this week), or that carbs are good for us, or maybe they're bad, can't remember, now we've got [...]
Let’s do lunch
Being the mother of an 18 year old is a great thing. Why you ask? It's because I never-ever-ever have to make a school lunch again. Don't care what she eats for lunch. She can legally drink, she can vote, she can drive a car, she can take care of [...]

You can’t study for these exams
Something I am starting to really appreciate about myself is my good health. Sure I whine and bitch about my fat thighs, but at the end of the day they are part of a pair of strong legs that let me do pretty well anything I want (except for winning [...]
Rachel, that’s bananas
I've always had a little celebrity crush on stylist Rachel Zoe. I loved her A-Z style book and I have been glued to the two seasons of her reality TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project. I've even started sprinkling my everyday conversation with Rachel [...]
WTF? Has anyone else got these?
I think the part that I am most struggling with on my Gen X journey is that of ageing and the absolute disintegration of my body. Sure I can live with being overweight (actually no I can't, I hate it) and I successfully manage to disguise my greys [...]
If Marian Keyes is depressed what hope the rest of us?
Total. Shock. Marian Keyes, Irish author extraordinaire, queen of the snappy dialogue, conjuror of the ultimate laugh out loud scenario, the woman I most seriously want to enjoy a girls' night out with--is seriously depressed. She's not going to be [...]
