If you're a Londoner who rides their bike to work, or have been looking for an excuse to buy a bike under the guise that if you had a bike, you'd ride it to work, I have some excellent news for you.

We've been known to go searching around Etsy just to spy on whatever cute, snorglable dogs are modeling sweaters and carriers being sold by their crafty owners. (If you're having a bad day, searching for "dog sweaters" on Etsy is a great past time. Maybe a bit sad, but still fun.)

Have you ever felt a bit down and suddenly found yourself browsing the self help section in the book store? It might feel a bit embarrassing to be in that part of the store, looking at titles that seem to just seem to scream, “Whoever picks up this book is a looser”.
What kind of people read self help books anyway? Well apparently quite a lot of them since it’s a booming industry making most of the authors in the field very, very rich. Maybe you’ve gone home from the book store an...

I'd been thinking about becoming self-employed for a few years but it took being on maternity leave and returning to work for a four day debacle, to decide to blog full time. I could follow my passion, work from home, and spend time with my then eight month old.
It all seemed so easy but if there is one thing I know after nearly eighteen months, another pregnancy, and several mega wobblers it's that, wonderful as it is to not have to get on the train and tube with the great unwashed ...

Father's Day us almost upon us. There are people on Twitter reminding us to buy beer for Daddy and show him what a "good little girl" we've been lately.
There are horrific TV adverts reminding us of what A Great Dad we have, and don't we want to customize him a very special card from Moon Pig?

What is it about women and suppressing anger? Lots of us do it all the time. Somebody says something unacceptable at work, and instead of taking it up with them, we put our heads down, bite our lip, and carry on seething away on the inside. I don't know about you, but I'm pissed off with being pissed off. It's about time it stopped!

Maybe I just know a bunch of freaks, but the single women I know are not desperate. They do not have long, ridiculous scrolls listing the traits in men they will not tolerate, such as "must not have ex wife" or "must not wear V neck sweaters".
Yes, we all have little pet peeves and things that put us off, but I'm pretty sure we all know that writing someone off for superficial reasons without giving them a chance is no better behavior than some of our asshole exes and "worst ever da...

I’ll try not to mention that term that begins with C (twice) and just gently point out the obvious: we’re all short of cash these days. This means that if you’re planning or hoping to travel you might be more inclined to stay with friends and family or cadge the odd night on someone’s sofa.
So how do you show your appreciation when cash is short?

Recently I have re-entered the dating scene after a ten month hiatus and have been going on a metric shit ton of first dates. These have ranged from ass awkward to amazing.
Sadly the amazing ones have been few and far between. In my solitude of non-dating I had truly forgotten how awful first dates can be. What I have found as of late is that most of the time when I was on my very best good first date behavior (as illustrated by the illustrious

Remember the days when you first moved out of your parents house, and into a smelly, craptastic flat filled with eight roommates? And despite it being, well, smelly and craptastic it was YOURS you didn't have to clean your room, didn't have to be home at a certain time and you most certainly didn't have to worry about bringing boys over?
