the end was just the beginning
A galoot with a ciggie in one hand and a mobile phone in the other rear-ended my shite heap of a car on Saturday. Damn him. There I was, minding my own business, waiting to exit my local shopping centre carpark when whomp! I was tempted to blame myself for the sorry scenario (any excuse... Continue Reading →
It's been a tumultuous weekend in Hollywood, with Paris Jackson needing further psychiatric care, Kelly Rutherford filing for bankruptcy and Kim's boobs growing to WHAT size?

I started the week a Hollow Husk following a weekend crammed with the birth of Kim Kardashian's baby, Nigella Lawson's "playful tiff" with her husband and the release of Curtis Stone's wedding photos. I decided to cover them all on iVillage in addition to spending quality time with my family, so things got a mite... Continue Reading →

The eldest went to camp yesterday. She told me she needed to be at the school for a 7.40am departure, so I popped upstairs to have a shower at 7.15am and, as I was lathering, I had a panicked thought: "I trusted Miss Vague 2013 to tell me what time the bus was leaving?!?!"

I committed a bit of a social media sin yesterday. I saw an article by John Birmingham popping up all over the place on Facebook and Twitter, so I shared it. Without actually reading it. Gasp. It frustrates me when people do that with iVillage stories. So I can't quite believe I'm guilty of the... Continue Reading →
I ate two meat pies for dinner last night (does it make it less gross that I made them myself and they were kinda sorta smallish?)(one wasn't quite enough, two was way too much, but I have trouble with the concept of leaving food on my plate after being berated as a child about the...

Geez it's been a busy weekend workwise. Which is a little hairy, since I'm not actually supposed to work weekends, I'm meant to spend quality time with my family. Oooops. But what do you do when Kim Kardashian has her baby (in my Woman's Day days, the above pic would have made an EXCELLENT cover shot), Curtis... Continue Reading →
