I felt like its been a shit year. 2011 was really hard work. It felt so so long and for most of it I just wanted it to be over. I've often thought that I will look back on it as a really rough patch in my life. But as is the way this time of year, you start to reflect. And do you know what, I think … [Read more...]
Burnt I tell you, burnt out. Both ends burnt to charcoal. You know that old saying about burning the candle at both ends, well I feel the flame from each end has met in the middle and left me as a pile of ash. How's that for a dramatic metaphor to start a post? Almost poetic. I'm exhausted. … [Read more...]
Good morning Sunday, you beautiful day you. A 7am rise for me on a Sunday is an absolute rarity. In fact, for the life of me I can't remember when I was last up this early on a Sunday, sometimes I'm not even home yet. So today is absolutely full of promise.

So the ex, Aschapelle, and I have decided to sell the marital home. Its our little Redfern 2-bedroom dwelling that we bought just over 2 years ago and renovated. I’d forgotten how stressful it is selling a house! My osteopath will benefit as much as I will. Leaving no stone unturned in the … [Read more...]
Just a quick look back over some of my blog posts lately and it’s a mix so turbulent it could make you sea sick– electrical appliances, poolside gossip, family stuff, a Bear party, boozey nights, food, gay marriage and Lady Boys. Now that’s an identity crisis. I’m so confused as to … [Read more...]
Two recent purchases have changed my life! I don’t think anything electrical has ever made me this happy. Just when I thought I couldn’t rack up anymore debt I gave my credit card one final stab… A vacuum cleaner and a bedroom TV. Such bliss! I was ranting not long ago about the knee-deep … [Read more...]
I’m in the throws of a last-minute holiday panic!
