18 sleeps. 18 SLEEPS. EIGHTEEN SLEEPS. That’s all that separates me from the big man, Santa. Oh yeah, baby.

With so little shopping time left to go, boys, it’s time to start thinking of gifts for your loved ones. Yes by loved ones I mean family, your mates (unlikely I realise), but most importantly your partner. You see, your partner holds the power to make Christmas one of the most special or painful times of year.

So without further ado, let me give you some tips to keep you out of the doghouse this Christmas.

Probably worth also noting that you could buy the most amazing gift in the world, but if you rock up at 4am on Christmas morning having been out with the lads the night before, leaving you incapable of eating Christmas dinner… it’s going to be an uphill struggle.

I’d love to hear from you, so make me happy and leave me a comment.

Much Thursday love.

Last week, I had the pleasure of being invited to the premiere of a short film which had been commissioned entitled The Theory of Everything at The Hospital Club, London.

For those of you that have followed me for a while now, you’ll know that I used to work in dating and ironically have a history of being AWFUL at dates. So this was right up my street!

The film was written and produced by Stephen Follows of Catsnake who explained that they enlisted some of the world’s leading dark-matter physicists from Imperial College and CERN to assist with the story. This was to be no cheesy chick flick.

I don’t want to ruin the story for you, so instead, I suggest you grab a cuppa, sit back and relax and enjoy this little jewel of a film.

Make sure to watch the film to the end to win the chance for 2 people to see the Northern Lights or check out the Facebook Page for more details. Thanks to my lovely friends over at http://www.lovestruck.com for the invitation to what was a lovely evening.

I hope that you love the film as much as I do. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Big love,

For those of you in the States, Happy Thanks Giving!

Normal service resumes: With Black Friday and Christmas almost upon us, it’s fair to say, we are now firmly in the shopping season. Oxford Street will be closing to traffic this Saturday to allow pedestrians to pound the streets.

If you’re considering a trip with your boyfriend or husband though, you may wish to watch the following:

No need to thank me. Seriously.

Stay awesome.

Bloggers are a pretty awesome breed, and you know, we’ll always have lots of friends… online!

However, we are quite different in many ways. So I thought it would be good, for those considering dating one of us, to be warned of our idiosyncrasies.

Grab a comfy seat and take a peak, you know you want to.

Much Thursday love!

You’ve scoured the dating sites and found the girl of your dreams. You’re emailing, tweeting, Facebooking and all seems to be going well. But imagine all isn’t quite as it seems. Here I share some tips that things might not be going as well as you’d hoped…

As always, I love hearing from you, so please use the comments, if only to say hello. It makes me happy.

Much Thursday love coming your way.

The man’s a pro, you may not have seen him, but he has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to tips. The thing is, I wasn’t shown these before it happened to me. So a gift from me to you, the warning signs. I mean, it wouldn’t be clear otherwise.

In case that’s not enough, there’s evidence of him sharing his tips with others. Please take note.

… and yes, I too will now be doing shoutouts. Make your requests in the comments below.

Much love xox

Let me start by saying girls are awesome. Really awesome. They rock in pretty much every way.

However, there are some reasons that guys make awesome friends… I kinda love them like that. For some reasons why, just take a look at this week’s video.

Much love. Stay awesome.

Boys, you’ll know that I like to do my bit to help – in this week’s video, secrets that us girls keep amongst ourselves until now… You may not wish to click play if you’d rather think we smell of roses. I mean, we do, but only 80% of the time.

I’d love to hear your insights too, so don’t be shy, leave a comment and make my day.

Big love,

M xox

We all know that the communication between boys and girls is often complex territory. They say that men are from Venus and women from Mars, I personally think this may be too close.

Then of course, there’s the subject of white lies. In this week’s video, I uncover some “untruths” that us girls may have been guilty of telling our boys…

I’d love to hear yours too, so please use the comments.

Much love and Thursday hugs.

p.s. I’m being a spanner. The last part was meant to say the man with the sticker on his trousers. Poor thing was telling the world he has a 38 inch waist all the way down his trousers on a sticker. I should have said something. I feel bad.

OK, by now, you’re bound to have been subjected to my addiction to Pinterest. You’ll also be aware that I’m single. Therefore I guess, the following video will come as no surprise.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes, I present to you the reasons that Pinterest is better than sex.

I know, I really need to get out some more, but pinning is so god damn good!

Stay awesome.

p.s. thank you so much for all of your support in raising funds for Saskia’s kitty. We’ve been totally overwhelmed!
