the end was just the beginning
It was Sprog 2's "fun sports morning" yesterday. The school sprung it on me with a note earlier in the week. They'd even organised a coffee van to entice "parents and carers wanting something calm after all that cheering". But it clashed with my hair appointment. I agonised for all of two seconds about cancelling... Continue Reading →
Blake Lively pregnancy rumours Yesterday, The New York Post reported: "Rumors are rife on the “Gossip Girl” set that Blake Lively could be expecting her first child. The blond beauty, back at work in New York after her secret Sept. 9 wedding to Ryan Reynolds, is “glowing,” say spies, but also is eating more than normal." But her... Continue Reading →
I got a text message from a friend yesterday. It said: "Was the movie any good last night?" Which is strange because she was sitting right next to me as I watched it and had a drink with me afterwards. But understandable in light of her sleeping through it, due to a liquid lunch that...

Lindsay Lohan arrested! Sometimes I wake up, check the celebrity gossip sites and think: "It has to be a joke." But, no, Lindsay Lohan's life continues to be a car crash, literally. This time she's run into a pedestrian in New York on her way to a nightclub. According to People magazine: "Authorities say a... Continue Reading →

"How are my little triplets doing?" she asks. She also spoofs her famous hairdo, pretending it's a wig with a big surprise underneath. See the ad by clicking here. Says Dlisted:... Continue Reading →
Loving this story my friend told me about her girlfriend's house alarm going off recently ... The police rang to say there had been a robbery. She rushed home and was met by two cops at her front door, who gravely warned: "Prepare yourself, they've given the place a pretty good going over." She walked... Continue Reading →
Fergie stands up for Kate According to The Daily Mail: "Sarah Ferguson, who was photographed topless while sunbathing at a remote villa in the South of France 20 years ago, has expressed ‘total sympathy’ for the Duchess of Cambridge. "The long-range pictures, which showed the Duchess of York having her toes sucked by American businessman John... Continue Reading →
Blogging feels a little redundant this week. HouseGoesHome has developed a life of its own. A post I wrote on Saturday, called HouseGoesHollywood: Princess Kate's nude scandal, has hijacked my site. It's received 5478 views so far, still going strong. In normal circumstances I'd be thrilled with 5478 views. But I feel a bit empty... Continue Reading →
The Mag I Bought This Week award goes to ... It felt like there was a huge elephant that all the weekly magazines were politely ignoring in my local newsagency this morning ... Princess Kate's nipples being snapped by a paparazzi photographer. The Sunday newspapers asked the editors of Woman's Day, New Idea and WHO... Continue Reading →
