My Top Ten Posts of The Year (The New Realist)

December 31, 2013

Final blog post of the year … as then I’m heading off to Dapper Gent’s New Year’s Party at his army boy Mansion House 🙂 (and yes …. the Legal Eagle will be there! :S) So the final words of 2013 from 30 Dates Blog [...]

The Christmas Orphan & The Story Box

December 27, 2013

So, today is the anniversary of my Mum’s death. And yes – as a result, Christmas has never really been my favourite time of year, not least because Mum actually slipped into a coma on Christmas morning. You’d think that would make [...]

The Sixth Date of Christmas (The Flash)

December 24, 2013

In case you hadn’t noticed from the last blog, I’m struggling slightly to manage 12 Christmas Dates all by myself … Thank Heavens for Experimental Daters! And yes, you may notice this date took place in Manchester, not London [...]

The Fifth Date of Christmas

December 24, 2013

So it turns out arranging 12 Dates around Christmas is far harder than finding 30 complete strangers to go on dates with! There are a number of reasons – For a start (in case you haven’t noticed!) it’s pretty horrid outside! Dating [...]

Fader’s Box of Christmas Chocolates

December 23, 2013

Life can be a bit of a variety pack at times, and by all accounts the past week has been something of a mixed bag for Experimental Dater Fader …. Depressingly, I’ve heard a very similar tale of cheating and promiscuity recently … [...]

The Fourth Date of Christmas

December 18, 2013

I’ve never really liked Christmas songs. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t mind the odd bit of Mariah or Wizzard, but normally after a few days I’m done. And then this winter I discovered Frisky & Mannish’s [...]

The Third Date of Christmas

December 18, 2013

So this one was a long time coming! As I’m sure you all know, December is one of the busiest months of most peoples’ social calendar. And to be honest, I’ve found it one of the hardest months to pin down dates. Not only is [...]

FAMILY – The Woman I Can Only Hope to Be

December 16, 2013

Today would have been my Mum’s 64th birthday. Friends and regular readers will know that I lost both my parents to cancer ten years ago. Now normally I try to keep this blog as on track as possible- a dating magazine of sorts rather than the [...]
