You may have noticed that there haven’t been any new posts here for a while, and I apologise for that. Getting married took over so much of my time, as did my book blog. I’ve thought about it a lot and have decided to take a little break from The Postscript to get myself organised … More Taking a Break
As someone who has mental health problems I am always pleased to see sharing and honesty about these issues on social media. One of the worst things about having dodgy mental health is the inherent silence that surrounds it. Despite being fed up of white lies and ‘stigma’ I still find it very difficult to … More Being Honest About Mental Health
I’m not a very political person and I must admit I do not really do much to mark International Women’s Day – which I know is bad! But I like to spend the day thinking about the women who really inspire me, and I did that today. Cheryl Strayed Like everyone else I read Wild … More For International Women’s Day 2017 – The Women Who Inspire Me #IWD2017
As a person who is cool enough to read this blog (!), I’m going to assume that you’re familiar with the show New Girl – if not, sort that out. It is one of my all time favourite shows, and up there with the best sitcoms ever (The US Office, Spaced, Frasier, Seinfeld, to name … More Heroine: Jess Day
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find listening to music a bit distracting or overwhelming when I’m at work. For some reason I find it easier to listen to podcasts, and still manage to pay attention to them even when I am actively working – typing or whatever.

Each issue costs £6, not cheap, but they are like little books that you can delve into again and again, and are in no way short on valuable content. Issue 11 features … More Blogosphere magazine, issue 11
One of the best things about 2017 is that I am getting married in June. We have been engaged since July and it seemed like the wedding was quite far away… but now that we are in 2017 it seems very soon – only five months! We have almost everything booked and organised, but the … More The Dress
Hello! It has been just ages since I posted here, or on my book blog, and I am sorry for that. My fiancé and I bought a house in October, and in the last month we have been going a bit mad getting it done up and ready to live in… and then there was … More Hello 2017!
I used to keep diaries as a child – recording my homework and visits with friends, trips to the cinema and regular family get-togethers. When my mother moved house in 2015, two years after I had moved out, she asked if I wanted the box she had of my diaries and notebooks from those years. … More The Question of Keeping a Diary
We’ve owned our house for a few weeks now, and the reality of it is starting to sink in. Our mothers have seen and approved it, so it’s official. Today we measured most of the house for things like rugs, curtains, and beds. The whole house has wooden floorboards and no fitted carpets, so we’re … More The Importance of Home
