Destination One – Dublin, Ireland (Part One)

March 23, 2014

I should probably start by telling you that I’m writing this blog post from a gorgeous little café / wine bar called Eden, on South William Street in Dublin. The ceiling above me resembles a greenhouse, but made up of panes of coloured glass. [...]

What Do I Need Right Now?

March 17, 2014

It’s a simple question. But it’s one which single women seem to have great difficulty answering honestly. Especially as we get older. I think part of it is programming. We’re so focussed on the end goal – the house, the [...]

SEXUALITY – The Gold Star Label (The Rock Chick)

March 9, 2014

After The New Realist’s upfront and detailed post on the ins and outs of lesbian sex (thanks @TheNewRealist!), I think I can afford to be a bit more prosaic, and so you won’t be hearing any details about my sex life today! 😉 Instead, I [...]

The Online Sleuth & The Secret Hotel

March 8, 2014

First dates can be pretty stressful. In fact one of the main reasons I first agreed to do 30 Dates was to remove the unnecessary nerves and build-up which you can so easily place on a first date. The more dates you go on, the more you relax about [...]

Peter Pan & The Pancake Date

March 5, 2014

Age certainly isn’t a new topic on the blog. In fact the whole blog was created as a result of my then-impending adulthood. For some reason turning thirty carries particular adult weight. After years clinging hold of the idea that I was just a [...]

Online Therapy (Southern Belle)

February 28, 2014

Sometimes you have to say something out loud in order to properly listen to yourself. In lieu of her therapist, Southern Belle shares a situation with us all which is causing her angst. And it’s one I know a lot of you will recognise in [...]

SEX – An Unexpected Result (Preggers)

February 23, 2014

So #SexWeek became Sex Fortnight! And with it comes a new voice for the blog ‘Preggers’ … named so because, as you’ll realise, she’s in a situation which we all think will never happen to us … but which does [...]

#WednesdayDatingClub Tale (Southern Belle)

February 21, 2014

Those of you who follow the blog on Twitter will have been waiting for this write-up with bated breath. A few days ago our very own Southern Belle went on a not-so-blind, but rather ‘obscured’ date. She’d seen two very [...]

How To Get Over Someone – Step Two: Put Things In Context

February 19, 2014

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but your break-up genuinely isn’t the biggest problem in the world. Yes, it may be the biggest problem in your world. And it might well be the most heart-wrenching, gutting experience you’ve had in months, or [...]

Valentine’s Day: A Feast for Saint & Sinner – (Miss 32)

February 19, 2014

There was something of a strategic avoidance of the ‘V’ Word on the blog last week – mainly because it was everywhere! However Miss 32 and Kink spent Valentine’s Night at a rather different event. And it would be rude not [...]
