I think I bought our Christmas tree. It’s October.
Waiting for the cashier in Waterstones to say ‘The Vagina Bible’.
Reading The Vagina Bible. It’s so good.

Reading The Vagina Bible. It’s so good.
This part of the canal always seems so sunny and beautiful.
Picking up The Vagina Bible. Not even read the first paragraph and a woman tells me how excited she is to read it, especially after the advertising has been banned.
Good Eggs lols about double enders.
Have I Told You I’m Writing A Play About My Vagina.
The women coming up to talk to me afterwards.
The period box in the toilets. 😍
Lots of texts. Lots and lots of texts about good things.
Women sharing their love letters to their vulvas.
Giving myself time to put everything away calmly and as slowly as I wanted.
Smiling in the Uber on the way home, feeling proud of myself for raising another £302 for Bloody Good Period and for bringing sex and vulva positivity to another room of people.
Finally got my vagina survey up and on the internet
Two portions of curry. Too much but so delicious.
Some silliness at work. Me and Sarah calling Adam a prick. Chats about nicknames.
Going swimming. Especially after I almost didn’t.
Taping up the mouse holes in the bathroom. It was quite therapeutic to just focus on tape and holes.
Getting 50% off some great, personalised vulva artwork. Can’t wait!
Discovering more about cervices. I can’t believe I’ve never seen a cervix before.
Moaning to mum. And Becky. And Jo. And laughing about it. And getting out of the grump.
Hana with Jo. New discovery: tempura icecream. HEAVEN.
An evening with Rosie, sacking off the Happiness Festival for wine and chats instead.
My amazing birthday present from them! My vulva design, etched into a silver necklace. I’m in love.
Wagamama. I forgot how delicious it was.
This email from a friend/colleague. What a lovely thing to read.
Talking about Body of Women and feminism with Pete. He’s a sweet guy.
Reminiscing about Mike with Lauren and Bivan as she cleaned out the gross fridge.
Spending the day making vulvas at WOW and chatting about all the vagina. Such a great day!
Watching the twerking workshop. I wish I could have joined in.
Being asked to do more workshops, give talks and come along to Vagina Days.
I got a day’s work tomorrow! So glad I asked.
Set up a vagina tshirt shop. Got five orders already. Check it out.
Prahmas. All the food, all the present and, randomly, all the singing.
The squirrel outside the gym, pulling chips out the newspaper.
Had a really positive morning. Sent off a job application, had a conference call where I found out we’ll be paid for WOW and then I went to the gym. All before 10am.
Spent the afternoon sewing more vulvas.
Then I met another great feminist at Corinne’s leaving party. It was really fun to talk to her. Whilst texting Stuart about cheese. So much cheese.
I got invited to join a vagina coalition!
The social faux pas tweets. I read them twice and couldn’t stop laughing.
Watching TV with Matt. A really nice evening, giggling, sharing crisps and deserts.
D
ay one of the Influencing Change course. It was so exciting to feel excited about it all again. And to distill my ideas down into something more focused.
Talking to Joy about the project. And all the other people that came up to me to talk about vaginas. It was a subject that so many people wanted to talk about. It was a real boost.
Beers with Jonny, making me see the good in the day again.
Last day at work! All the cake, all the carbs, all the chips, all the beers and all the vagina related presents.
They made me a cake decorated with vaginas, they bought me a cunt colouring in book and they made me a lovely card with vaginas, Rizo’s and beautiful goodbyes.
And then in the middle of the night out, I got offered another job! And I got a place on the Influencing Chance course! Weeeee! Not doing so badly after all.
Getting half way through my very delayed commute, in the rain and deciding to just enjoy the walk and forget about being annoyed because it doesn’t matter. That was a good feeling.
Having all the housemates together in the living room. For possibly the first time since Christmas. Lauren bullying Mike for being a t-shirt stained mess. Ivan sneezing into Becky and pulling a muscle. I made a great cereal protest joke.
GIF-ing with Jen and James instead of doing any kind of work whatsoever.
Also I just loved this vagina image from @rudooles
Yoga. Distracting, stretchy yoga.
Grace and Frankie. Especially the vagina chat. Yas queens. Then when I was searching for a photo for this blog I discovered that Frankie does vagina artwork. God I love her. This is one of my favourite pieces by Frankie Bergstein.
Hearing from J Lo. Bambee. Glad he’s keeping that going.
Did my tax return. I saved WAAAAAAY too much money. I’m suddenly rich!
Made fanny jokes with a woman I don’t know in the Wigan office. Sent her my vagina bowl in return.
Going and buying a card in the afternoon. I got to walk in the sun, listen to some music, flirt with a cute guy and get away from the office. It was a perfect mini break
The Period Party! Everything about it was just so amazing! The unexpected friends, the love, the laughter, the vulvas, the glitter, the donations and the pub quiz.
Not to mention the accidental anal sex talk in front of my boss, sharing the vulva book and having people tell me that I’m hilarious. Guys, stop…
What an amazing evening! I’m totally buzzing and so proud of myself.
Getting this beautiful embroidered vulva in the post. Ready to be won at my Period Party. Alongside a beautiful note from the artist. 😘
Having an evening to myself. Sorting myself out. Cleaning, organising, cooking and eating vegetables. I feel a bit more back on track.
Lunch in the garden in the sun. Just like we always used to.
Going shopping for the Period Party. Dad rummaging in a basket of stamps to find a V stamp to use as entrance stamp. I love my dad.
A sunny walk around the river and going into the charity shop. Walking out with a sick new shirt. Thanks dad. 😘
