Deep breaths ... we have our first open house this morning. The auction signboard went up yesterday. I sent Husband a pic and he texted back "looks good". I cried. Just for a change. I could really do with some lessons from him on being unemotional. He's a champion at it. As for the "last"... Continue Reading →

Well that was … awkward
Husband stripped to his jocks and socks in our living room yesterday. Then things got kinda ... awkward. Not because - like a friend warned me last week - "He might even be thinking 'hey, maybe I get ex-sex'." That's a loooooooong way from his mind. I'd asked him to paint a wall prior to...

Bedroom secrets
Finally, another jooshing reveal ... or "zhuzhing" as a friend insists it's spelled. Sounds more like a Chinese city to me ... And this time it's the master bedroom. Ooo-er!

Who was your first crush?
Technically mine was the cowboy from The Village People ... but I was pre-pubescent and slightly clueless then. THIS was my REAL first crush: Neil Finn. Oh my giddy aunt did I think he was hawt.

The Doctor's companion, Donna, goes back in time to the moment she made the choice that led to meeting him: turning left at an intersection.... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHollywood: Kim and Kanye’s outrageous wedding
Revelling in the car crash that is the Kardashians has never been my thing. Watching the way they've dominated the tabloids with their D grade antics has made my eyeballs rattle over the years.

I was planning on blogging something deep and meaningful today - well, as deep and meaningful as you can get with Doctor Who references - but yesterday was kinda full on and I just don't have it in me. Tomorrow, I promise. Anyways ... yesterday I went to IKEA for the 500th time while Husband... Continue Reading →
Heavy stuff
We can carry it, she said. It's not that heavy, she said. It's only 1.3km, she said ... OK, she didn't say the last bit, I Googled it afterwards. I'm down to the last days of the schmick-a-thon for the house sale. I needed an outdoor setting for the deck because mine had rotted and... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHollywood: Guess who’s a pitbull in bed?
I am befuddled and muddled this week, hence forgetting to blog HouseGoesHollywood yesterday. It must be all the paint fumes ... But I'm not the only one in the wars - look who's had a worse time of it that me ... >> Michel Buble knocked a tooth out with his microphone while on stage... Continue Reading →
