the end was just the beginning
The separated-but-together situation with Husband continues apace. On the weekend we drove to Newcastle for our niece's birthday, tomorrow we'll spend the day painting the back deck (well, Husband will paint while I follow behind with a leaf blower ... bloody autumn leaves), next Sunday we'll go to see Strictly Ballroom the musical as a family....

Ever read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? I'm currently reciting a chapter of it each night to the kids. The eldest thinks it's hilarious, the youngest does headstands the whole time and cheerfully admits she has no idea what's going on. I'm particularly enamoured with the Babel fish. Here's what the Hitchhikers Guide has to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was quite something ... lots of "s" words were used. Some of which I will outline in this blog, some of which I will leave to your imagination. Let's start with the email I sent to a nice lass called Summer. Summer is the strata manager of an apartment I am desperate to buy.... Continue Reading →
I love my tucker. A lot. Make that a looooooooooooottttt. So it's been disturbing to spend the last few months feeling nauseous and uninterested in meals. Fortunately my appetite is slowly returning (hopefully sleep won't be far behind it). While that's bad news for my delightfully shrunken waistline, it's happy tidings for my tastebuds. But...

There's this whole Beyonce obsession the world seems to have that I didn't share until this week. And then the Solange Knowles/Jay Z elevator biffo thing happened and I was swept into the most salacious celebrity bitch fight of the year ... aside from James Packer and David Gyngell trying to punch each other's lights out...

I've been spending an awful lot of time with Husband lately - as we get the house ready to sell - and it's kinda freaky. Yesterday we headed to Bunnings to choose decking paint (our jooshing job for Monday). As we stood talking to the paint guy about what shade would be best, I couldn't... Continue Reading →
There were tears in the Household yesterday and for a change they weren't mine. I gave the bunnies away on Sunday. The kids arrived home last night and when the reality hit, the weeping began. I'd told them they were going, their Dad had confirmed they were gone, but looking out the window and seeing... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was pretty momentous for me. I'm still in shock. I knew it was coming, but that didn't lessen the blow. I had trouble sleeping on Sunday night, knowing the enormity of what lay ahead. We've signed the real estate agent's contract to sell the family home. Yep, House is soon to be officially homeless.... Continue Reading →
My sis and I rounded out Mother's Day last night with a trip to the movies. We both needed a laugh. Me because, well, if you're a regular reader you'll know why ... And my sister because she slipped on her front step the other day and gave herself a nasty injury that's left her... Continue Reading →
Hope you had an awesome Sunday, whether you were celebrating Mother's Day or snoozing on the couch (or something in between). Check out how the celebs marked the day on social media ... >> Gwyneth Paltrow wrote on Instagram: "Feelin' the love today #luckymama" >> It appears all is forgiven in the Kerr family. After a...
