“Last night I ripped the last tutu from an 8 year old’s tiny hands.”
– I’m not proud of it, but needs must. I just hope the resulting look will be more ‘scary clown’ than ‘random with a child’s tutu around her neck’.

Adjusting to Suburbia
At the end of June I moved into a bungalow with my boyfriend. It’s the third home we’ve had together, the first we’ve owned. It’s a lovely little house, full of character.

Government want to switch our lights off

Madness to headline Hogmanay show →
How long can Madness milk it? They’re terrible - are the Edinburgh Hogmanay organisers so desperate that they’ve had to turn to a geriatric group who haven’t had a hit in 20 years? Surely they can put someone more recent on, more relevant? Give the stage to someone who will actually give a performance that includes more than jumping about the stage and shouting ‘baggy...
