Word to the Wise

Wow, it’s been well over a year since I last posted and I hope you’re all well.
What can I say, it’s been a crazy 12 months and thanks to a number of friends nagging, 20somethingmelodrama is back for its last two years. Yes, that’s right, two years before your dear author turns 30. So moving away from the depressing stuff, I thought I’d take the advice and motivation I’ve received from my nearest and dearest and get writing again. One piece of advice I’d had is not to write as much, so expect shorter but hopefully more frequent postings.
Where to start? Well without giving a rundown of my yearly events, I’ll continue where I left off or sort of.

I remember writing and ranting about women in trainers and I hate to say it but I’ve become one of them. A good friend at work called these females that wear offensive foot wear, “working girls”! How times have changed and meanings developed. I can openly say that I’m now a ‘working girl’, in a non-whorish fashion, although, yes, you at the back of the class, I hear you snigger- “perfect definition more like it”.( Yet, I will point out mine is for purely medical purposes and not laziness.) Which I guess, means, I’m a hypocrite or that I should be more understanding but alas no, I still stare and glare at the feet of those wearing what only can be described as gym wear below their ankles. So woman of North London, if you see a blonde lass, hidden under a black hat, wearing pink and white trainers, staring at your feet, it’s not out of admiration!

Groupon/LivingSocial etc
One thing that has definitely changed and started to invade the lives of us girlies (and boys) is voucher websites; from Money Saving Expert to sites such as Living Social and Groupon, the flight of fancy surrounding such HTML holdings is everywhere. I may be one of the last to catch on and albeit I’ve not purchased anything off one yet the excitement of work colleagues in my building is beyond immense especially when they start shouting “I’ve won”– it’s the same thing that happens with bidding on ebay; do you all not realise you have to pay for these things? Well on this bandwagon I’ve sort of jumped and forwarded the below to my housemate today – is it me or does the bit about a cup of herbal tea sound somewhat patronising?

Well, I’m going to leave it there – I promise these blogs will become more fun filled and full of drama; don’t get me wrong there’s plenty I could write but as I mentioned earlier, I’m keeping them short and frequent. So I’m going to go and stop my housemate from kicking in the washer machine door and make haste to the land of nod!!


My close friends always say my life's like a soap opera, well now it's a blog that I hope you all enjoy reading and contributing too. It would be great if we could turn this into a ranting site for everyone, not just me! Remember just because we're 20something doesn't mean we're really that much wiser than when we went through all this in our teens- LOL! Just have jobs and are in debt! Please pass this on to other people and join my facebook group!
Love and blessings
