The good old days
My husband was checking his facebook page the other day telling me how many people sent him birthday wishes. He was quite chuffed with himself. I told him they weren't real birthday wishes (I was being mean). He said he didn't care what I [...]
Stupid stuff from 2011
This is from my weely Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townville Bulletin Savvy magazine. So the most googled term in 2011—what is love? What a stupid search enquiry. Can you believe that we’ve turned into such an emotionally retarded [...]

Etiquette for using discount coupons
I'm a bit addicted to Scoopon, Spreets, Our Deal, Cudo and any other discount deal that can give me a whole lot of stuff for not much money. I blame the economy but actually it is really due to my love of a good deal (otherwise known as tight [...]
Five over-rated things
