I hate calling people on the phone. HATE IT. It verges on a phobia. I'm filled with dread because I've received a bill that requires me to ring up to pay it. Totally barbaric - what century are they living in? The bill is now massively overdue, but I ... just ... can't. I am... Continue Reading →
Easter 2015 … celebrity style
Yep, as usual, I've spent far too much time over the Easter "break" collecting celebrity photos. At least this time I had an excuse - I was working for Kidspot all weekend (and today). So it was part of my JOB. That makes me feel slightly less crazy. Anyway, here's what the stars posted on... Continue Reading →
My week: on with the show
Happy Easter everyone!!!! Hope you're having a good one. I forgot about daylight savings and slept in until the grand - new - time of 6am. The dogs went berserk - they were busting because they refused to get their poor widdle feet in the gouting rain last night. Wusses. The youngest is cuddling her... Continue Reading →
Easter feasting HouseGoesHome style
It got a little crazy in the Household yesterday as the youngest and I cooked up a storm. The youngest loves helping out in the kitchen, but was affronted when I tried to turn it into a maths lesson by asking how many more slices of tomato were needed for the remaining pesto tarts. "Muuuuuuum,... Continue Reading →
Ohhhhh, the shame … Diet Coke made me do it
Hi. My name is Alana House and I'm addicted to Diet Coke. Oh, and sugar-free V. But V is for after the gym or the supermarket or when my PMT is really bad ... You know, special occasions. Diet Coke is for everyday. Kinda like jeans versus fishnet stockings. People who aren't addicted to Diet Coke... Continue Reading →
Third time unlucky
Ever felt jinxed? You know how I was saying ... ohhhhh, just a couple of days ago ... that DD asked my mum if my life was always this eventful? He sounded a little "you're kidding me" when I called last night to tell him my latest misadventure. You see, I've been hanging to try... Continue Reading →
What’s love got to do with it?
Remember that Skyhooks song, "All my friends are getting married" ... Well all my friends are getting married Yes they're all growin' old They're all staying home on weekends They're all doin' what they're told It feels like the reverse is happening in my life: all my friends are getting divorced. Nah, that's an exaggeration:... Continue Reading →
Exchanging war stories
I've mentioned my teeny tiny world before ... like the time I ran up the back of a school dad's car on the Sydney Harbour Bridge ... And it just keeps contracting. I met a lovely fellow blogger last night called Alex. You can find her at Alexcellent. We've been chatting via HouseGoesHome's comment section... Continue Reading →
More wedding bliss
I was a bit too overwhelmed yesterday to express myself properly. Sooooo not like me. But it's a lot to take in: my sister getting married again. I mean, I knew her "housewarming" was actually a surprise wedding. I'd even had a preview of her amazing gown. But to actually watch it unfold and see... Continue Reading →
My week: a surprise wedding
I am very, very bad at keeping secrets. But there's been a biggie loitering behind the scenes. A wedding. My sister drew family and a few friends together for a "housewarming" last night that was actually her nuptials. And it was so lovely. Here are a couple pics of the happy couple ... Don't they...
