Now this is a serious first world problem
Last week I wrote a little tongue in cheek piece about my first world problems. And then I find out that I'm making fun of genuine problems. Ooops. Take for instance this horrific first world problem that needs my due attention and [...]
First world problems
The following post is from my Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townsville Bulletin Savvy magazine each week. I was unpacking the dishwasher the other day, throwing a little tantrum in my mind about the cups. Why can't dishwasher [...]
