Loveday Writing

My four-year-old daughter picked a four leaf clover out of our backyard and gave it to me as a present. As four-year-olds do, they think they’ve found something extraordinary and want to share with you, so as parents do, I took it and put it in my pocket. I’ve never been superstitious, but ever since I’ve put the clover in

Tickets are my business, in particular, scalping them to everyday fools. Business is usually good at night, that’s when most of the shows are on. I didn’t intend on scalping as a career, but it’s hard to live off youth allowance when you’re living at uni accommodation. Once I’ve graduated, I’ll have a real job and be rich and famous

My friend repeatedly reminds me that true love is out there in the world with this old-fashioned saying, “you have to kiss a few toads before you find your prince.” I think the proper word is frogs not toads, but to-may-to, to-mart-o.

The first step I’ll take for the rest of my life is the first step in my wedding waltz. I’ve lost count of the amount of things people have told me are the most important things at weddings: my wedding dress, my wedding rings, how much weight to lose to fit into my wedding dress, how much make-up is appropriate,

My best friend revealed to me that my boyfriend was going to leave me. My heart broke, I thought we were happy, I had no idea and I was terrified at the thought of confronting and later breaking-up with him. Nevertheless I would confront him tonight. How long did he think he could keep this a secret? So I confronted

I have two room-mates, Amber and Wally. They’re good to live with most of the time, except there is one thing about them that annoys me…. their inability to throw out the empty milk carton. Wally drinks out of the carton and puts it back in the fridge door. Amber yells at Wally for drinking out of the carton, pours

I’ve always heard that the best things in life are free and that saying is true: expensive and extravagant gifts and items seem overrated and I don’t mind being poor. Although having no financial worries ever again…how fantastic would that be! Although on this occasion…Valentine’s Day, the most romantic day of the year is when men, especially my boyfriend, Darren
