the end was just the beginning
Damn, I've just remembered the metal object in the photo is a sheep. And it was such a good blog heading. Ah, might as well leave it ... Wow, I wrote so many words yesterday, I don't have many left for today. I'm also (still) feeling strung out by all the recent drama in my... Continue Reading →
Subscribers forgive the spamming ... it's been a busy day at Housegoeshome. First I mused on revenge, then I wrote about Princess Kate's pregnancy announcement at HouseGoesHollywood, then I lost my car keys and had to get another mum to drive the Sprogs to school, then I fumed about a shocking TV segment on Kathleen...

A Current Affair ran a segment last night called "Prisoner Perks", a follow-up to an article Woman's Day published on Kathleen Folbigg last week. It made me feel sick and horrified all over again. Phrases like "living like queens", "shopping splurges" "it's like being in Surfer's Paradise" and "living it up large" were used. Seriously?... Continue Reading →
Revenge is a dish best served cold, whatever that means. According to The Urban Dictionary it's an old saying from the Mafiosi in Sicily: "The best payback is the one that comes with planning, and that brings the most horrendous pain to your enemies when they are not expecting and are just enjoying the fruits of...

Many moons ago, Husband and I went on wine-tasting holidays. One memorable trip we visited the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Maclaren Vale, Coonawarra and Rutherglen, jamming 10 cases of wine into the boot of my Mazda 121 along the way. Ah, those were the halcyon, carefree, pre-children days. We've tried taking the Sprogs along on... Continue Reading →

Contemplating suicide doesn't really suit my style either, but instead of acting bored I've spent the past week pondering "what next?".... Continue Reading →
When we lived in New York, our groceries were home delivered by a mob called Fresh Direct. Way easier than hiking on a train to the nearest supermarket in Harlem. We loved Fresh Direct's Argentinian-style marinated steak. I was reminiscing about it recently and my mouth started to water at the idea of a piece... Continue Reading →
There were tears yesterday. I couldn't take it anymore. An emotional week and then day spent baking in 37 degree heat (literally and figuratively) for Sprog 2's birthday party got the better of me. When the fondant started sliding off the cake ... Not pretty. So you'll have to make do with this reblog from... Continue Reading →
* Lindsay Lohan was arrested and charged with third-degree assault in New York after an alleged altercation with a woman in a nightclub. She was also charged with lying to police about who was driving her car when it was involved in an accident six months ago. She's in whole mess of trouble. As usual.... Continue Reading →
Sprog 1's Mad Scientist bash starts 11am tomorrow and Husband has been AWOL since Tuesday for work. Today's shaping up to be a frenzy of party prep - in 40 degree heat, eeek - I'm working on mad food: white chocolate crackle "sushi", blue fizzy, cakes in the shape of sandwiches, party pies with olive "bugs"...
