I feel rich when….
On Saturday mornings, before I head off to my yoga class, I like to nourish my mind that is usually consumed with TV shows, celebrity gossip and trashy chic lit novels, with Kathleen Noonan's Last Word column in the Courier Mail. Her most recent [...]
Come back Masterchef. I need my fix.
Gosh, it's only been one night and already I'm missing Masterchef. Such a lovely show, and a powerful one--caused a time shift for the great political debate--now that's people power. I actually tried to watch the great political debate. Julia [...]
Are you a scruncher or a folder? Well this could rock your world.
My husband spends hours in the toilet. Apparently this is a common trait of most men. Now we women are far too evolved to actually expend too many brain cells on wondering what they do in there (apart from the obvious), but in the interests of [...]

A room of his own
When Posh Spice and Becks were buying their LA house a few years back, one of the shopping criteria was two main bedrooms, one for him and one for her. Of course everyone sang oooh aaah, their marriage is in trouble, but they're still together so I [...]
How often do you wash your bedsheets?
OK, I'm officially grossed out. Apparently the reputation the poms have for being the great unwashed extends to their bedlinen. A recent poll conducted by the Daily Mail suggests that half a million Brits wash their bedsheets just three times a [...]

I've recently undergone this weird Martha Stewart transformation. No I haven't cut my hair into a bob and started wearing sensible skirts, it's my new found home skills and nowhere is this more evident that my pantry. It took me a whole day and [...]
