Shopaholic right over here. I love buying new things. Take me into a second hand store or op shop and I’ll claw my way out screaming. Screw old things, bring in the new, that’s what I say. Since my income could no longer keep up with my spending, my boyfriend stepped in. I think he …
I was in a bad way with my boss. It’s was as if every time he came past I was bludging on the job. I’d be leaning against a machine, a coca cola in hand and my butt-crack peeking through my un-belted trousers. He called me into his “office” one day, a windowless shoebox in …
As a filthy rich businessman, my tastes have become quite niche. The mundane really has no impact on me anymore, my senses are dulled by the ordinary. That’s why I can only get my thrills and kicks out of the extreme, only then can I feel anything. Possessions, no matter how sumptuous, also bring me …
My partner got into a bit of trouble with the law. It wasn’t his fault, he was just involved with the wrong people. Anyway, since then, a bunch of evidence has come up and we also need to send important information between the lawyers. We were having a really hard time finding appropriate packaging for …
A lot of people would be stoked to inherit their parents’ property, especially when it’s a farm. Not me though, I got an apiary. It wasn’t long after my dad became a beekeeper that I was innocently playing in the yard and got sortied by a swarm of his little critters. I’ve never been the …
I am planning my first hen’s night party and the pressure is on. I have blocked out my entire weekend to nail the venue, secure the guestlist and arrange transporting the bride while keeping her completely in the dark. You reach a certain point where you enter wedding season and suddenly weekends are consumed by …
With school holidays, weekends and after school slots to fill, being a parent can often feel like working in events management. Keeping the little ones entertained can be challenging. As a mother of four (all under the age of thirteen), I spend most of my time picking up, dropping off and filling in the gaps. …
I’m a big guy. Okay, I’m husky. I’ll admit it, although to do so causes a stabbing feeling in my chest that is not indigestion but something deeper – shame. I’m only 25 years old but I feel like an old man. I can’t walk up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat, and …
Not long ago I was in a horrific accident. My husband was driving the car, it was raining, and somehow the wheels skidded and he lost control of the car. I don’t remember much of the accident itself, just the feeling of the car swerving and then losing consciousness before impact. Our car was found …
A poorly ventilated bathroom is a nightmare. Short of massive renovations, it is impossible to fix this problem. Fortunately, there are ways to cover up bathroom odours cheaply and effectively. You may be surprised to learn that the answer is tulips. That’s right- flowers! I am not talking about air fresheners laced with an artificial …
