The Alice

My name is Alice, hence thealice.co.uk. I got married to the love of my life and long-suffering husband Will on 12th January 2009, and we live together in Nottingham, having recently moved here from London.

I am a 25 year old University drop-out Online Marketing Manager, living in Nottingham having recently moved here from London. In a past life I spent my days working my bum off for a Magazine in London and trying to be the best part-time housewife ever by night, in between all the cocktails, music and eating out.

Back then I enjoyed cooking, great restaurants, shopping, fashion magazines, bad books, sleeping in, extravagance, champagne and spending time with Will.

Now I like a bit of sleep and something chilled and white. If I get to have a long bath somewhere in between then that’s just fantastic.

I like to tell people that I was blogging before it became cool, but as I spent my teenage years (and have now my career) online I have had to come to the terms with the fact that I am in fact a geek. Thealice.co.uk has existed for around 5 years in various guises, including a food blog and fashion blog. I resurrected it the day I found out I was pregnant after a long period of hiatus.

Having suffered with endometriosis for 8 years and being told I would be challenged fertility-wise, finding out I was pregnant on Friday 13th November 2009 was one of the biggest – and best – shocks of my life. This blog tells the story of dealing with pregnancy (badly), preparing for motherhood (mostly freaking out) and trying to reconcile my life as a career-oriented fashion and music girl with becoming a mum (arghhh).

Elfreda (more commonly known as Elfie) was born on 7th July 2010. You can read about the day she was born here.
