the end was just the beginning
On New Year's Eve, an old bloke in Killara cut his neighbour's finger off with pruning shears during an argument over a hedge. Nothing sets suburbia against each other quite like a hedge dispute. Which is why I held my tongue when my neighbour hired a chainsaw and a ute and massacred his backyard over... Continue Reading →
My mother sailed off on yet another cruise yesterday (bye-bye inheritance). She went with her best friend, Barb, who she's know since she was 12. We held a bon voyage barbie at my sister's house in their honour. The haloumi and chorizo salad was awesome. As we sipped Oyster Bay sparkling, Mum advised her friend... Continue Reading →
I'm still playing catch-up after a gossip-free Christmas, so here's something old, something new and something blue to spice up your Friday ... Jerry Seinfeld has told the The New York Times Magazine his children (Sascha, 12, Julian, 9, and Shepherd, 7) aren't spoiled. Despite him having a fortune of $800million, the kids are down to earth. He... Continue Reading →
I think the neighbours have gone on holidays. And they haven't asked me to collect their mail. Do you think it's because of this unfortunate incident (revealed in a blog called "I am so, so sorry" last January) ... "After dinner, everything fell apart. The neighbours knocked on the front door. They’d been away for... Continue Reading →
How's your New Year's week going? It's had a few ups and downs for the stars ... Sofia kicked out of club, breast exposed Page Six reports: "Sofia Vergara and her fiancé, Nick Loeb, got into a New Year’s Eve fight while clubbing in Miami — which ended with her dress ripped down and him being thrown out...

Yesterday's blog about laughing 'til it hurt while being squirted in the face with a water pistol got me thinking about stuff that gives me the giggles. 1. Other people's blogs. I laughed 'til I cried over Mrs Woog's "Tubing. A cheaper alternative to a micro-dermabrasion" . It was so funny I could barely get the... Continue Reading →
Damn, I'd been hoping for some serious errors of judgement on Twitter for NYE, but everyone appears to have been very well behaved ... at least for the cameras. Check out the pics that stars posted on Facebook and Twitter for New Year's Eve ... Nicole Kidman added this message to her Facebook page: "Happy New... Continue Reading →
Geez I was shagged yesterday, verging on delirious. Too many nights without enough sleep. And a whole New Year's Day with the Sprogs stretched terrifyingly before me ... without a car ... Husband had driven it to work in anticipation of woeful public transport options. I must admit I relied rather heavily on the electronic... Continue Reading →
I wish I could be as staunchly Kardashian-free-zone as Lainey Gossip when it comes to the news that Kim Kardashian is up the duff to Kayne West, but I'm just not strong enough. Lainey blogged overnight: "As for 2013 - there may be pretenders, but there is only one Baby Wales. And, really, it’s the only Child Watch that... Continue Reading →
Vast swathes of my memory are lost to me. When people friend me on Facebook, I'm constantly asking old school mate: "Who is xxxx?" She'll rattle off extensive detail: "Little tiny girl - rooooly short ...", "he's an absolute sweety ..." that sort of thing. And I'll still be none the wiser. She's not the only...
