Hurry up, make your bloody minds up–we need a government

You know I've gone from caring which party is in government to just wishing there was a government. This debacle has gone on long enough. I really think we should go back to the polls. Honestly we've got three men flirting with the two major [...]

Boys, does carrying your ipad about make you want to buy a manbag?

Boys, does carrying your ipad about make you want to buy a manbag?

Image I'm very taken with the new ipads. They are very, very sexy. And the stuff they can do. Well I want one. But I won't get one, but it doesn't stop me from lusting after one.   It's the internet costs that would kill me. I'm all for the [...]

We’ve been a long, long time together

We’ve been a long, long time together

It was my husband's and my 23rd wedding anniversary yesterday. How lovely. Been married all that time people say. So it's quite ironic that the one news item that did catch my attention yesterday was the launching of two cheater's websites. Far [...]

Kim Who?

Kim Who?

Did you see Kim Kardashian was mobbed by Brisbane teenagers when she visited here last week? Kim who you ask? Why that's Kim Kardashian, she of the famous Kardashian clan. Still none the wiser? Silly you, I'll explain. Kim Kardashian is an [...]

You can’t do what?

You can’t do what?

I nearly ran out of petrol in my car the other day. Nothing unusual about that, I've done it quite a few times. I actually don't care. I just ring my husband and he turns up with a makeshift funnel made out of a softdrink bottle and fixes it up for [...]
