		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s normal, a matter of days before a piece of me goes on sale in bookshops, to fall prey to the jitters. So far, those who have read &#8220;petite&#8221; all said complimentary things. Admittedly these were people who were supposed to be on my side &#8211; agent, publisher, friends, family &#8211; but I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=927&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am surrounded by a dense, dark, oppressive fog. I can&#8217;t see it, touch it, smell it, but it is real to me. I sensed it on the periphery of my day, quietly, ominously gathering force. I pretended it wasn&#8217;t there, at first. I blogged about my daughter, made some notes for an interview, bounced [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=858&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past nine months I have been living in a shadow. Impossible to shake off, a suffocating cloud of self-doubt hovered above my head, darkening my every thought, my every gesture. Impossible to conceive of meeting a man (or boy) while I felt so brittle, so unsure of myself. Impossible to really appreciate this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=809&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I frown at my face in the mirror. Make-up still looks good in the right light, but increasingly these days I find that foundation accentuates the fine lines around my eyes instead of concealing them. I prefer myself with my glasses on, because actually they hide a multitude of tell-tale signs. The days when I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=679&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2006 was nothing if not eventful. I got dumped. I bought my first home. I got fired. I got outed. I was given an exciting opportunity. 2007 should be a little quieter, less turbulent. A few important dates loom on the landscape. A hearing at the industrial tribunal on 19 February.

		<description><![CDATA[I find myself strangely unperturbed that there are no men to speak of in my life at the moment. A few month&#8217;s back, among the flurry of well-meaning comments and emails, a few people trotted out that old chestnut about how some me-time would do me good. That alone doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean feeling lonely; it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=525&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
