Totes trending: txt spk // AKA #talkinglikeadick

I quit! // Taking the Plunge AKA Resigning
When I find myself mired in indecision which is often the case, I look for signs. My job had been making me miserable for about a year, it was like a bad boyfriend. First he made me so happy, I fell in love and we spent the best part of our lives together, then slowly […]

The X Factor Live Show // Week Two: VOGUE!
Did you watch the X Factor this weekend? It’s quite likely you didn’t, seeing as approximately 2 million viewers have turned off in their droves.
