FAQs

 

1. How do you know what to write about?

Sometimes I have a flash of inspiration days before I write, making notes as I go along (usually during the night when I try to sleep). Then other times I haven't got a clue and make it up on the spot. This is such a time, in case you hadn't noticed.

2. Why should I read your blog, can't you just tell me your news?

Yes I could but where's the fun in that? Besides a lot of my content is something I just wouldn't talk about if I called you on the phone. For instance, would I tell you that my period had lasted for 7 days? Or that I just ate a twix and a Mars bar, before breakfast? Very unlikely. Besides, I don't actually speak to anyone on the phone apart from my mum and sister. Even my dad WhatsApps! Phone calls are so last year (decade). 

3. Why don't you make them longer/shorter?

This is easy to answer. I'm occasionally told that my post just wasn't long enough. And my mum very occasionally says "ooh it was a long one this week" lol. Basically you can't please everyone all of the time. You get what you've been given! And my blog is a work of art - I can't just make it up (oops, apparently I can - see no. 1).

4. Why don't you write a book?

I do want to. And I am trying. It's much harder than writing a blog. I have so many stories in my head, several books worth. I'll keep you updated with my progress.

5. I liked it when you wrote about weight loss. Why did you change?

Well.... After trying to lose 5 stone and blogging about it, and 5 years later still failing I got bored and figured you readers must be too. I do still give you a quick run down of my dieting endeavours as that's still a big part of my life - un fort u nat (see I fell asleep I was so bored).

6. How come you are so gorgeous?

Oh! You're making me blush! Thank you for saying. I would say it was in my genes but my mum very succinctly told me and my daughter how pretty I USED to be! She was emphatic that it was past tense so I guess I'm not.... Anymore. Blimey if your mum doesn't think you're attractive you've got no chance! A face even a mother doesn't love ha ha ha. (Don't worry mum - I know you still love me!)

7. I love your Post Scripts where do you find them?

All over. Books, magazines, TV, emails, real life. And if all else fails - Google! 

Be yourself and own it, because literally everybody else is taken.

PS you like my picture? It's a hole, in my garden, no idea what made it. Pretty sure it's not a mole. Ideas?
