"For whatever reasons, Ray, call it... fate, call it luck, call it karma, I believe everything happens for a reason." - Dr Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters I've been wandering around my new house in a blissed out haze. The place is nothing special, it's on a busy road, but it's a happy home. And I feel so... Continue Reading →
I love making muffins. No boring flour sifting, just chuck everything in a bowl, give it all a quick stir and you’re done. The flavour combos are endless too. Check out some of my creations.

When that happens... Continue Reading →
This morning I'm busy being an A-lister again ... poor me! So I thought I'd finally show you a few holiday happy snaps from my cruise to Tassie ... PS A special shout-out to my awesome mate Glen who took care of Charlie while I was gone. He sent me a message yesterday asking about... Continue Reading →
The roller coaster launched at 5.30am when I woke in pain. I share every other drama with you, soooooo: there was a lump in my breast.
