About
ABOUT THE BLOG
Baggagereclaim is a tongue-in-cheek guide created to discuss the complexities of being a woman, the choices that they make and the dodgy men that add to their load. Started in September 2005, it aims to bring a fresh, healthy mix of humorous and serious content which reflects the gritty view of the world and avoids being bland and homogenous. This is not the place to go to if you’re looking for 15 ways to seduce the man that has been mistreating you!
The blog also aims to appeal to men who are looking to find out more about what makes women tick and how to navigate the confusing world of dating. The passage of time and ‘loosening’ of values has increased the confusion amongst the sexes with many men feeling that they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. The blog isn’t for man haters; it’s for people with gripes, but they’ve also got some room left to have a laugh and aim for growth.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The blog is owned and written by ‘NML’, a late twenties Londoner who runs the blog in between holding down a full time job at a big media owner and getting ready for the birth of her first child. She started blogging when she realised that she had a serial case of bad taste in men and decided to share her knowledge with the world. She is much wiser now!
