The 7 steps to fighting fairly
I love a good argument but I hate to fight. I am a Libran and by nature we are peace lovers, having said that, I have withstood my fair share of fighting and I can be a right-royal pain on the ass sometimes, so I have had my fair share of fights. It’s fine, really. […]
Snooping on people: is it ever ok?
Snooping: Is it ever ok? Do I do it? Not now. Have I done it? Not lately. Someone just did it to me – how do I feel about this? Violated, amused and slightly perturbed. Should I be bothered? Is this activity harmless? Should I get angry, make a fuss or confront the snooper? Times […]
What is the most attractive age for men and for women?

Dealing With Haters by Talking Up Your Achievements
I have a friend who has taken to reading my blog and then criticising the things I have written about. “Hash browns?” he’ll text, “…how lame!” or “I can’t believe you write a whole post on what you wear – how vacuous.” I have noticed that people really love to criticise people who are doing […]
I Am Very Naughty and I Like to Break the Rules

How to Be Charming (Yes, You)

How to Deal With Hurtful Insults from Someone You Love
It hurts quite a lot to be insulted by someone you care about. Hurtful insults can feel so unnecessary. I don’t often insult people just to be mean, but if I decide to, I can cut a person down with only a few well-chosen words. The better you know someone, the easier it is to hurt […]
