Oh well, best intentions and all that but again I’ve left HLL looking like a digital graveyard. It’s unintentional believe you me, it’s been a busy few months that haven’t left me much time or energy to write much.

Life Got In The Way
Blimey, just looked at my blog here and realised it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Bad Little Lady ha ha. In all seriousness, life has gotten rather busy since the end of January with some rather major events and other major events me and the beau are planning for later in the year, which …
Stop Staring

Katie Price and the Bully Boy Frankie Boyle
The ‘comedian’ Frankie Boyle’s been at it again, and I say comedian in the loosest sense of the term, because really, this guy seriously isn’t funny. Not content with picking on kids with Down Syndrome, he’s now picking on a specific disabled kid. Good on Katie Price for sticking up for her son Harvey and …
