Scalpels are out! Halloween comes early
Ah, there's nothing quite like the smell of burning flesh in a doctor's surgery. Especially when it's your own. After much badgering from my mother - she spotted a dodgy mole on my back during The Cruise - I finally went to a skin cancer clinic yesterday. At first, it was just my pride that hurt, when the doctor announced... Continue Reading →
Christmas in July – the recipes
It's feeling very festive at HouseGoesHome this week. There's a Christmas tree twinkling in the living room and lots of holly scattered around the house (ouch!). Even the bathroom is still sporting its Santa toilet seat cover. Why? Because it's Christmas in July, of course! And I'm still celebrating. Last weekend, turkey sausages were on the menu -...

HouseGoesHollywood: trapped princesses, sexy vets, cunning Katie …
PRINCE ALBERT'S MISERABLE WIFE DListed.com had me in stiches - as usual - over my brekkie. I've even hooked Husband, though he's worried it's all a bit too arch. But he can't help laughing when I recite the best bits. My favourite item was about Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife Princess Charlene's interview yesterday for CBS News.... Continue Reading →
Totally inappropriate
Earlier this week, I left the Sprogs in my osteo's waiting room with a Spongebob Squarepants app on my iPad and a bag of Tiny Teddies to amuse themselves. I'm all class. I came out to discover Sprog 1 with her head buried in a book called "A Field Guide To Monsters". She found it among the waiting room magazines. If there's... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHollywood: scuffle at the Jackson mansion, Madonna defies gun ban
Poor, deluded Lindsay Gotta love a girl who believes in herself. Lindsay Lohan tweeted yesterday: "Jennifer Lawrence in "The Hunger Games" is genius. I want to do Thelma&Louise w/her but ala Natural Born Killers (style wise) 2 girls-2 guys" D-listed.com cracked me up - as usual - with its take on the fabulous idea: "That last... Continue Reading →
8 things I didn’t learn last week
Life in a Pink Fibro wrote a great blog yesterday called 10 Things I Learned Last Week and I take my hat off her, because my week was more about what I didn't learn. Hopefully it means I will eventually learn, but knowing me, probably not. Pink Fibro learned stuff like: "When comics and real life collide,... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHollywood: The Mag I Bought This Week winner, “Aston’s a dick” and more!
THE MAG I BOUGHT THIS WEEK AWARD GOES TO ... The celebrity mags have put Tom Cruise's sperm under the microscope this week. Yep, they're in a complete tizz (again) about whether Suri needs a paternity test. To avoid sticky legal complications, the mags are using phrases like "Outrage over Suri DNA bombshell" (New Idea), "Slurs over Suri's real dad"... Continue Reading →
Happiness is a weed bouquet
I visited Pollyworld yesterday. It wasn't such a bad place. Me and the Sprogs took the Polly Pockets on a beach holiday. They lazed about on hammocks on the Polly boat, drinking plastic cocktails and contemplating their next wardrobe change. There was lots of plastic pizza and ice-cream. It was pretty cool. I'd quite enjoy a holiday like that myself. Before I even considered huddling... Continue Reading →
Nancy no-fun
It's been one of those weeks. A pouty, moochy sort of week. Not attractive on a 44-year-old. I feel all out of sorts and miz. When a friend texted a few minutes ago to say thank you for a lovely Christmas in July last night, I texted back apologising for the food being "up and down".... Continue Reading →
