Is it going to take zombies?

My husband is a zombie guy.  Oh he knows all about them; what attracts them, how to kill them, the latest science behind them, because he’s seen every zombie movie and TV show ever made.  It’s a strange and somewhat incongruous passion I think, for a mild-mannered 46-year-old artist, but that’s men for you.   They’re […]

Queen Bey and me.

  So much for the year of blogging seriously eh?  What a balls up. You can’t complain about being overworked in my business.  It’s a bit like admitting your kids are driving you nuts when everyone knows you went through IVF to have them.  It’s like you forfeit your right to whinge like any other [...]

My fondest hopes for you, my little destroyer.

I hope you will always know that girls who make you feel bad are crippled with self-doubt themselves and should be pitied, but never believed.   I hope you never think that Rihanna and Chris are fine and what’s the big deal anyway?   I hope you understand that privileged, western women who say they [...]

Meat me.

  I am sitting in my home, which is quiet and clean because my children are at their Nan’s, and I am indulging in a little bit of that fabled “me time”.  Some women will exercise their way through their “me time”, but I don’t know those ladies.  Some will pamper themselves by paying a [...]

Happy Australia Day

  Don’t freak out, this is not a veiled “Invasion Day” post in which I’m going to try to make you feel guilty about anything.  That said though, I do believe we should ditch Australia Day, (hear me out!!!)  Instead we should have a long weekend every January called “Flag Fest” during which everyone is [...]

am i cursed, or just human?

My husband, from whom I’m newly separated, is deathly ill with gastro. I’ve just done another food drop to his flat, which consisted more of fresh linen and anti-bacterial products than food of course, but it required a supermarket stop none-the-less. I had a work commitment this morning, the nanny was late, and I barely [...]

2013 The year of blogging seriously

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes! Is that enough “Ch”s? Doesn’t matter, you know what I mean. There are lots of changes in my life at the mo, and I’m quite determined to make sure at least some of them are good! I guess the biggest one is that my husband and I have separated after [...]

So apparently potty training is quite hard.

Oh hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has the contact details of one of those agencies where you drop your three-year-old off, and pick it up when it’s toilet trained. I just can’t seem to find one in my area, and I’m obviously not searching the App store properly either, because nothing there seems to [...]

I am back on the gear – a bit.

An update for those playing along at home; I hadn’t taken any Effexor at all since last Thursday, I had to have last Friday off work, and today (Monday) I still feel like death warmed up. I feel like electric shocks are pulsing through my body approximately every 15 seconds and when I move my [...]

Less Shivers, more light.

So I’m down to one third of my original anti depressant dose now and I’m doing a lot better! Still have the odd brain shiver, but nowhere near as bad. I had such a stressful day yesterday – I was up at 5 to go and co host The Circle, which was fantastic fun as [...]
