The pick-up artist

Did you read the story about the Sydney mum Beth Burton, who was told by a Sydney bus driver to stop her toddler “carrying on” or get off his bus? That was me yesterday except it was my dog that was "carrying on". I was petrified I'd be kicked off at any moment. While the... Continue Reading →

You know how I'm the editor of a website? A paperless website? So I really should be electronically savvy? I don't have a diary. Of any sort. Not on my phone. Not on a hard-copy calendar.

HouseGoesHollywood: Croc Dundee divorce shock (& 6 weddings)

The celebrity story that totally knocked me for a six this week was the news that Paul Hogan's wife Linda had filed to divorce her husband of 23 years. Unlike one iVillage Facebook follower who electronically shrugged her shoulders and said: "They had a good innings." The pair fell in love while filming Crocodile Dundee. It... Continue Reading →

The bus trip from hell

My bus ride the other night SUCKED. Big time. For a start, I waited 25 freaking minutes for one to come. Hello STA? It's not like I was going anywhere obscure. It was 6.30pm and I was standing on the corner of Elizabeth & Park Streets in the city, heading to the eastern suburbs. So,... Continue Reading →
