Three Years on Facebook
ItÕs been six years since we first started following NatalieÕs life via her Facebook status diary. We catch up now on the last three years. We share the highs (holidays, concerts, marzipan balls), the lows (bereavement, anxiety issues, Moldova not making it to the 2016 Eurovision final), and the mundane middle bits of life in between (mainly consisting of watching ÔMurder She WroteÕ in just her pants while eating Toblerone). All will be revealed as Natalie overshares her life as usual. Has she found love? Has she found inner peace? And has she finally bought a lava lamp?
Five Years on Facebook
Natalie is a divorcee (twice), eternally single, and mum to 16 year old Eve. Beginning from being dumped for Christmas in 2008, starting her single and celibate life, and continuing for five years to present day we share, via her Facebook statuses, the up's (taking part in 'This Morning's soap quiz, soap awards parties, quitting the day job to start her own business, being signed by Ugly Models, becoming a mature student, celebrating her 40th birthday) the downs (family bereavements, going back to a day job, never finding her soul mate and having to announce her weight live on TV on 'The Alan Titchmarsh Show') and the random in-between statuses in her light-hearted quirky manner as she tries to stay positive at all times (quite tricky for a manic depressive, agoraphobic hypochondriac) while pushing herself out of her comfort zone. Will she emerge from her comfort zone triumphant or find herself quivering back in her emotional cave?
One More Year On Facebook
We catch up with singleton mum Natalie after her 'Five Years on Facebook' adventures. When we last caught up with Natalie she was dipping her toe in the dating waters and was about to embark on her first date in a very long time. Did he turn out to be a hit or a miss? She does indeed have a sprinkle of romance this year, takes part in three game shows, trials a cookie diet, has her Emmerdale fan club weekend away, and tackles a new job all whilst continuing to live with depression and anxiety and maintaining her part-time university studies. Something totally life- changing is heading Natalie's way, but will that be positive or negative? We follow her ups and downs via her Facebook statuses that form a diary in her light-hearted humorous manner.

For Naomi life is destined to be a challenge. Born in Wolverhampton to Jamaican parents she does not know her father and her mother, desperate to be loved, seeks the pleasures of men and in the process neglects the welfare of her children. Naomi goes to school in clothes that are too small, goes to school without a coat in freezing weather and goes to school without a breakfast, all the while having to put up with her mother's succession of partners.When she finally gets to leave home it is with a Jamaican lover who starts out as the love of her life, but whom she rapidly finds is a crack dealer, a wife beater and a womaniser destined for jail. And this is the start of a pattern. Naomi doesn't want to end up like her mother, but the harder she tries the more inevitable that outcome seems to be.
