the end was just the beginning
I was driving the Sprogs to school last week when the eight-year-old sighed from the backseat: "All the books I'm reading are full of boys wanting sex." Not being particularly brave when it comes to birds, bees and my daughters, I wasn't quite sure how to reply. After a strangled pause, I said: "You mean... Continue Reading →
I haven't seen anything like it since "Whitney Houston's corpse". "Princess Kate nude" is the hottest search in Googleland. The whole world wants a squizz at the royal nipples. It's funny the things that get people going. Yesterday started out as just an ordinary Saturday for Housegoeshome. I've been trying to wean myself off weekend... Continue Reading →
Another naked royal scandal I normally stick to a Monday to Friday routine with HouseGoesHollywood, but this couldn't wait ... The British royals can't seem to keep their clothes on when cameras are clicking. Only weeks after Prince Harry was embroiled in a scandal for being snapped playing naked billards, Princess Kate has been caught... Continue Reading →
I forgot to tell you about a post I wrote over at Village Voices last week. I've called it The Banana Dare to appeal to your dirty minds, but its actual name is "3 Ways With Manky Bananas" (I'm thinking that wouldn't have reeled you in quite as well, right?). For the blog, I've... Continue Reading →
Ben's no house husband I'm a bit disgruntled about my housewifely responsibilities at the moment, so this made me irrationally cross. “I don’t want to be a stay-at-home dad," Ben Affleck tells Details' October issue. "Work is very important to me." Affleck — who is dad to Violet, 6½, Seraphina, 3½, and Samuel, 6 months - notes that “running after... Continue Reading →
Initial titles for this blog were Pissed Off and Deep Case of The Shits, but I decided my subscribers might not like receiving those message titles in their in-boxes. So I've downgraded it to Anger Management (after flirting with a piss-weak Really, Really Cross), which barely scratches the surface of how cranky I am. I... Continue Reading →
Brian lashes out at Kerry It's war between Brian McFadden and ex-wife Kerry Katona. Again. She had a spray on her Twitter page about him being interviewed in Hello! magazine about their marriage and saying "I had no idea what I was doing". Now he's spraying back. Brian wrote on his Twitter page: 'Some people just... Continue Reading →
Occasionally I write a blog on Housegoeshome that gets picked up by a website such as Mamamia. It's complicated when this happens, because I tend to blithely rant/blather to my readers - many of whom are my friends and family - rather than carefully craft articles for publication in "foreign" settings. It means misunderstandings -... Continue Reading →
Peaches weds for the second time (she's only 23!) The latest Hello magazine has all the quirky photos and details from 23-year-old Peaches Geldof's wedding, including ... * The couple's eight-month old golden retriever, Parper, was the ring-bearer. * The wedding cake was blue and cream and featured an array of edible pig characters depicting the...

It's been more than a year since I earned an income, but I remain delusional about my financial status. I'm still spending money like it grows on trees. I now understand how people wake up one day with $30,000 on their credit cards and a terrified tightness in their chest. Not that I have $30,000... Continue Reading →
