the end was just the beginning
OK, this story is a bit infamous in my world. So forgive me if you've already heard it. It even featured in the groom's wedding speech when my sister tied the knot. The essence of it was that I had met his biggest crush - other than my sister - Kylie Minogue, and she was... Continue Reading →
I cried buckets last night. Between each gulping sob I dialed my Husband's number. Maybe 20 or 30 times. Willing him to pick up. No answer. Probably for the best, as I might have said things I'd regret. By the time he returned my calls half an hour later I'd calmed down enough to merely... Continue Reading →
I got my hair coloured yesterday afternoon. As I lay back having my hair washed afterwards, the handsome young assistant gave me a luxurious, slow, sensuous head massage.And you know what I thought, as my nails bit into the leatherette of the chair and my teeth clenched ... JUST FARKING HURRY UP!I didn't say it... Continue Reading →
I write this blog with a heavy heart. My husband's great grandfather has passed away. He was 94 and he'd had a good life. But it still makes me unbearably sad. I ache for his daughter, who was sitting by his bedside reading to him when he died and is bereft. I ache for his... Continue Reading →
Things got all Marathon Man-y for me last week during a visit to the dentist. In my younger flush days I went to a lovely bloke in Paddington who pumped me full of laughing gas before he got to work. These budget years we go en-masse as a family to the medical-fund-run dental centre. Shudder.... Continue Reading →
Loot bags, goodie bags, party bags, lolly bags ... whatever you call them they've been the runaway surprise hit on my blog. Since I posted my first 10 Amazing Loot Bags in November last year it's gone on to be my sixth most popular post of all time. So naturally it needed a follow-up.... Continue Reading →
Often, I read advice on how to grow your blog followers. It invariably suggests sticking to a theme and not straying far from it. It seems the key to success is being known for SOMETHING not EVERYTHING.I am not very good at sticking to a theme. Especially when I am fatigued from two days of... Continue Reading →
I moaned about getting up at the crack of dawn yesterday for Royal Baby Watch, but it wasn't actually a hardship. It's lying in bed that's the problem. I've had a screwed up left shoulder for a month now, so I can't lie on my left side. My dental misery has now shifted to both... Continue Reading →
My head hurts. I've been up since early this morning madly covering the royal birth. I mean, it's a MUST when you're editing a parenting/entertainment site, right? Right. After I posted at 6am that the baby had arrived, I thought, phew, job done - might pop off to the gym. And then I was like... Continue Reading →
I was feeling perfectly fine yesterday until I noticed there was a lump on my jaw. The moment I found it I suddenly decided I was poorly and started fretting about getting my affairs in order. I've done a bit of Dr Googling, which was no use at all. Kept suggesting gum infections. But my... Continue Reading →
