Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that recently I've been on a few dates with someone I've been referring to as Wembley Woman (after we went to Wembley on one of our early dates). At the time of writing we are still seeing each other, and it's gotten to the stage... Continue Reading →
Step-off
Recently I found myself chatting with someone I'd met online. The number of kids I have came up as we chatted and flirted and talked about setting up a date, along with the fact that they're not sure they could take on that many and survive. This is not an uncommon issue - probably half... Continue Reading →
Twitter roundup – part two
Double lazy post alert! Earlier in the week you may have seen me sharing some of my Twitter posts with y'all. In that first post I shared mostly posts about dating and being single, but that's only half of what this blog is about. Today comes some other posts looking at my constant struggles with...

Twitter roundup – part one
Yes, this is a lazy post, but I'm feeling in a particularly lazy mood. Back at the end of November 2017 I decided to join Twitter. Again. Obviously, I have my own personal account, but that was a little too well-known for me to actually be anonymous, so starting from scratch was the only way... Continue Reading →

Setting up my kids for therapy

That's why I am making it my mission to ruin them over time. As a parent you are in a position of power in that, generally... Continue Reading →
Manscaping
Ask most middle-aged or long-term married men what the word manscaping means and they'll probably look at you blankly, muttering something about rockeries or garden layouts designed by men. Few will know all that much about the act of trimming their body (and facial) hair, and fewer still will be regular exponents of the habit.... Continue Reading →
The Douche Dating Guide
Women. Birds. Chicks. Call them what you want, all guys want one (or more than one, fellas, amiright?!). As well as being useful around the house once they're caught and domesticated, they look lovely and are great to have around when you need a certain type of itch scratched. (Sex. That means having sex.) Us... Continue Reading →
My blogging anniversary
Wow. How quickly time flies. This blog is just over a year old already; how did that happen?! Starting off as a way of me logging things for myself and to help me iteratively improve my nonexistent dating skills, as well as helping me navigate some of the challenges of both being a single parent...

Blending families – could it be done?
Adam Sandler has done a lot of bad things in his life. Jack and Jill sits firmly at the Piers end of the Morgan Scale, along with Grown Ups 2. Conversely, Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy are definitely on the Freeman end of the aforementioned Morgan Scale (which itself is the only definitive way of... Continue Reading →
