As usual, the path of true love is not running smoothly for Rachel Riley. So she's decided to forget about romance altogether and concentrate on cold, hard facts. Romance is completely overrated in any case ... isn't it? Join Rachel in the latest instalment of her hilarious diaries.
Typical! Just when I thought I'd found THE ONE, he gets all stroppy about a snog that wasn't even my fault and storms off. Well, enough is enough! It's time for me to wake up and smell the coffee (or at least the hot chocolate) and forget all about romance. Who needs a fairytale happy ending anyway? From now on, will deal only in cold hard facts ...I'm Rachel Riley - welcome to my so-called life.
