Hotter, especially for Hobbit feet

July 12, 2011 By Ellen

Tasty toes I like my feet. In fact, I’d go as far as saying I’m proud of them. On them I have walked a very long way – it’s my favourite way to travel and my feet have never let me down. Over the years, though, my tootsies have developed a thick skin. Not just […]

Be clear, phone hacking has no place in the life of us hacks

There’s a cheque sitting on my desk – made out to me from News International. But if you think I’m going to tell you about a great dilemma or some kind of scandal, you’re wrong. It’s actually a very ordinary – even boring – thing. I’m a freelance journalist so, if I’m doing it right, […]

Cybermummy: still a mummy nonetheless

June 27, 2011 By Ellen

Obviously you’ll have read all about it in the Independent by now. Cybermummy is the new black. The comments section makes interesting reading. Including one that says, by way of criticism: “Their activities seem to have little to do with motherhood, and yet still they feel it necessary to use ‘mummy’.” To me that’s not […]

Cybermummy 2011: who am I?

June 22, 2011 By Ellen

    Not looking like Columbo   Looking like Columbo   I am living in exciting times – tonight I’m going to see Take That, next month I’m going to see Neil Diamond and on Saturday I’m going to see lots of women I’ve never met before. I could pause to ponder if the knickers […]
