the end was just the beginning
I spent a large part of this week weeping over my keyboard, both at work and home. The home breakdown was caused by my husband leaving my rabbit loose in the house for a day - he destroyed almost every electrical cable in the place ... including the one to my computer. Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh .... But... Continue Reading →

Welcome to another crazy celebrity weekend. Justin... 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.
