  • In response to an anonymous comment: Dear someone else’s ex-wife, Whatever happened between you and your ex-husband has nothing to do with me, and from the sound of it bears no resemblance to what happened between me and my wife. Since you clearly have no idea of what went on I don’t know why yo...
  • Big brother is watching you Yep, today is the day when my big brother gets to meet Lucy for the first time. I say, "meet Lucy", I’m not sure whether that is totally appropriate really as I am not a different person, just I wear different clothes and he now knows me better than he did. I think I h...
  • Big happy families So, as I mentioned in today’s good morning thread, my gran has just been round to meet the real Lucy for the first time. She wasn’t fazed a bit, just her sweet usual self. She pushed her tummy out and said she was jealous of my figure! She’s not the only one with a bit of a tum...
  • The great escape Today would have been my umpteenth wedding anniversary, had I not had a lucky and merciful escape. I guess that’s not how it felt at the time, me trying to be "normal" and all that, but things really did work out for the best. When people say that, it’s not always a cliché. It’s ...
  • Getting there, slowly… If anyone were to ask me how my transition is going, that may well be the answer. I’ve heard many different descriptions of this "journey", ranging from "hell" to "blessed". Long and slow certainly seems to apply in most cases. However, some news: today I got a letter from...
  • Please do not make assumptions as a punch in the face often offends. After the admittedly smug feeling I had when I received my driving license with my new name and girly photo, I was a little disappointed to receive today my vehicle registration document. The name is correct, and this time ...
  • Relax, don’t do it… Hit me with those laser beams… I had my 4th IPL session yesterday. The last couple of times I dressed ambiguously, unisex they used to call it in the days when my mum owned a dress shop (I was SO disappointed when she decided to sell it). But yesterday I put on my very girly j...
  • I love you more than chocolate itself I’m more than half-way through my choccies now, each one wrapped in a loving message, for extra sweetness, aww. I had to think about the one above, but yes it’s true, I do. Me and chocolate go back a long way but you have the edge babe, I love you, more than ...
  • Life without love is like a tree without blossom or fruit I read that on a chocolate wrapper, it’s not going to take me long to eat the rest of them, mmm… So, today is our first anniversary, can you believe it? And Pippa’s been here all weekend to celebrate it with me, which we did in style, our...
  • Independence day The first email I opened this morning informed me that I had won £1,500,000 on the Swiss lottery. Yeah right, cos I never forget to buy my Swiss lotto tickets… Bastards. I sent it on to a scam-reporting site saying, "Please find these people and throw them in jail". I read one s...
