Greg Palmer greg.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com England vs Ghana - 23/06/2026 Well, well, well… we appear to have decided the second half vs Croatia was indeed the better football… as that’s clearly how we decided to start against Ghana… the high press… the wing play… Kane on the ball early… dare I say it… we looked rather comfortable! Well… we did… but in America, apparently we play quarters… it’s no longer a game of two halves…… the resounding ‘Boooos’ echoing around the stadi

Rachel Hawley-Thomas rachel.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com While many of us are enjoying the men's World Cup that is going on right now (good luck to them and I do hope they bring it home), can we take a minute to look at the women's side of football? Many might not know that women's football has been around for just as long as the men's game with the first recognised games happening between England and Scotland in 1881. During WW1 popularity increased while the men were away an

Flora Howard flora.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com Hey my fashionistas, welcome back to another Fashion Friday and today I am talking about the trending Chloè Paddington and The Balenciaga City Bag - I hope you enjoy :) The Chloè Paddington It’s influence: One of the most iconic it-bags was was launched in 2005 by Phoebe Philo in the spring/summer show and instantly sold out and became an it-piece in 2000s fashion. About the bag: The bag has its signature look which is a slouchy

Greg Palmer greg.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com Well… here we go… another few weeks of stress and anxiety as we watch our beloved England in the World Cup… although, this time it feels a little… different… What I mean is, normally you’ve all the hype, all the songs about it coming home!! 2026, however, is not like that… not that I’ve seen anyway! There is a strange ‘quiet’ surrounding England… is this by design? Perhaps we’ve finally learnt not to apply so much pressure to our b

Rachel Hawley-Thomas rachel.bitesizeblogs@gmail.com For as long as I can remember I’ve always been dancing and singing. From the age of 3 I started majorettes (for those who don’t know, that’s the sport you twirl a stick, also known as a baton) and for 25 years of my life I competed in multiple competitions and although I may not have enjoyed it all the time, it was an outlet to help me process emotions throughout my school years and early adulthood. Singing and dancing are

Rachel Hawley-Thomas rachel.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com Dating in 2026 What a load of BS! I’ve been single for about 8 months and although it’s fun for most of the time, I do miss being in that partnership with someone. Don’t get me wrong, I love the things being single brings to the table: I don’t answer to anyone, and I can do what I want when I want. That’s nice but I’m not very good on my own, maybe that’s because I’ve always been in a relationship. Back in 2003 when I wa

Caitlyn Woodbury caitlyn.gabsbitesizeblogs@gmail.com What on Earth is going on in the House of Commons? The local elections earlier this month saw a disastrous loss for the Labour party, with them losing over 1,000 seats, many of them being in Labour key areas. The party took this to mean one thing, the country has lost faith in Keir Starmer and is turning to other parties such as Reform UK or the Green Party. As days followed, the public were wondering what would happen next

Rachel Hawley-Thomas Hey everyone, I'm Rachel and I have no idea what I'm doing! How many times have we said that to ourselves? Me personally, I say it multiple times a week lol. As children we get asked - 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' For me, I wanted to be a HGV driver like my dad, or a singer, or an actress, a ballerina, and sometimes even a Disney princess. But at the tender age of a child how are we meant to know, and even now at 38, I have no idea. One thin
