What’s your earliest memory?

Last week, after I emotionally scarred Sprog 1 by forgetting her form for an art excursion, a school mum reassured me: "Don't worry, their brains reset at eight. She won't remember a thing." I've done a little research and the school mum was pretty close to the money - last year, a Canadian research team... Continue Reading →

No more free money, sob!

I went to Medicare yesterday and got a dreadful shock. They've stopped the free money. I loved my cash refunds, they felt like I'd won a minor prize on Lotto. Now the money is deposited straight into your bank account - damn progress - which is very dull. Especially when you wait 20 minutes for... Continue Reading →

Letting myself go

I've been contemplating letting myself go. Well, more than I have already. Eating without guilt. Skipping the gym. Giving up on pants with waistbands. I don't think Husband would mind. His dating history is littered with voluptuous women. The concept of consuming food indiscriminately and damning the consequences is very tempting. I took it for... Continue Reading →

Somebody that I used to know

I went to the Olive Tree Markets on Saturday. It's in the grounds of The Junction Primary School, in Newcastle. It gave me a serious case of schoolyard envy - there was a huge veggie patch with a scarecrow and everything. The market stalls were pretty good too, though a little skewed to the baby...

OMG there was a GFC (redux)

It's a whole year since I admitted to the world - via my blog - that I didn't notice the Global Financial Crisis. And I'm celebrating my ignorance with a redux of the post. Husband forwarded the original blog to all his business journalist mates and their faces went all Munch's The Scream-looking as they... Continue Reading →

She baked us a pie!

In my early 20s, About Last Night was my favourite movie EVER. Better than Can't Stop The Music and The Breakfast Club combined. I still love it, although even after watching it 500 million times. And I still can't work out what Demi Moore says she's put in the dressing for Rob Lowe's salad on... Continue Reading →

HouseGoesHollywood: LeAnn in “treatment”; how John dumped Katy; another day, another LiLo scandal

Did John dump Katy Perry via email? Yep, that's what US Weekly and Hollywood Life are reporting. And who'd put it past the guy who called Jessica Simpson sexual napalm?
