The politics of school pick-up

My blogging heroine Mrs Woog wrote a post last week called The Cost of Collecting Your Kids. It was about the hell of school pick-up waiting zones, parking inspectors and fines. There is a similar purgatory endured around my way. One mum got fined $1300 recently because the nose of her car was in a... Continue Reading →

I’ve been robbed!

Loving this story my friend told me about her girlfriend's house alarm going off recently ... The police rang to say there had been a robbery. She rushed home and was met by two cops at her front door, who gravely warned: "Prepare yourself, they've given the place a pretty good going over." She walked... Continue Reading →

Why bother blogging?

Blogging feels a little redundant this week. HouseGoesHome has developed a life of its own. A post I wrote on Saturday, called HouseGoesHollywood: Princess Kate's nude scandal, has hijacked my site. It's received 5478 views so far, still going strong. In normal circumstances I'd be thrilled with 5478 views. But I feel a bit empty... Continue Reading →

Sex and The Tooth Fairy

I was driving the Sprogs to school last week when the eight-year-old sighed from the backseat: "All the books I'm reading are full of boys wanting sex." Not being particularly brave when it comes to birds, bees and my daughters, I wasn't quite sure how to reply. After a strangled pause, I said: "You mean... Continue Reading →

Royal boobies

I haven't seen anything like it since "Whitney Houston's corpse". "Princess Kate nude" is the hottest search in Googleland. The whole world wants a squizz at the royal nipples. It's funny the things that get people going. Yesterday started out as just an ordinary Saturday for Housegoeshome. I've been trying to wean myself off weekend... Continue Reading →

HouseGoesHollywood: Princess Kate’s nude scandal

Another naked royal scandal I normally stick to a Monday to Friday routine with HouseGoesHollywood, but this couldn't wait ... The British royals can't seem to keep their clothes on when cameras are clicking. Only weeks after Prince Harry was embroiled in a scandal for being snapped playing naked billards, Princess Kate has been caught... Continue Reading →

The banana dare

  I forgot to tell you about a post I wrote over at Village Voices last week. I've called it The Banana Dare to appeal to your dirty minds, but its actual name is "3 Ways With Manky Bananas" (I'm thinking that wouldn't have reeled you in quite as well, right?). For the blog, I've... Continue Reading →
