Up shit creek without a plunger

Our toilet is blocked at the moment… not nice. We have informed the real estate but as usual nothing had been done about it. I got fed up with the blockage and went into the shed to bring in the big guns, the plunger! That will take care of [...]

Earth Hour

Well earth hour is over and I’m back on the computer!  For all of you who have no idea what I’m talking about that’s just too bad.  Oh O.K I’ll tell you, it’s just an annual event when we (the individual) can help to reduce our carbon footprint by turning the lights [...]

SMS disease?

I read a new article today with the headline “Excess SMS a sign of mental illness”.   I knew it!!  I always knew it and I’m sure my sister will agree with me on this comment…  I always knew my mother had a mental illness!  That phone of hers is constantly “chirping” with [...]

Our Kath & Kel moment

Yesterday (after the kids had gone to school) my husband and I got ready to head into the city.  Nothing flash just visiting a specialist in order to determine what type of specialist I need…sounds crazy doesn’t it!  Anyway we were at the train station buying our tickets when Luke looked at [...]

Circus dreams turn to nightmares

 
I think we all dreamed of running away to the circus at one point in our lives.  To a five year old the lifestyle looks incredible, sweets, animals, acrobats and clowns…what more could there be?  How about piranhas, snakes and slavery?  That’s what these two Bulgarian sisters aged 19 and 16 were [...]

Superhero or Villain?

Free make-up & more!

Do you want free make-up and more? It’s easy and it’s on the web. There are numerous companies who give away sample products in the hope that you will purchase the product sometime in the future. It’s all advertising and marketing but it won’t work on me. Television [...]

Stomach churning “gross out” moment

I read a blog by Monkee  about his “stink eye”…basically an unfortunate experience in which the lawn mower kicked dog poo into his eye.  That’s gross but it got me thinking about my “gross out” moment and instantly my stomach started to churn.  Let me explain and perhaps your stomach will [...]

fart humour

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
It’s O.K to laugh at a fart joke. You don’t have to be six to find humour in a normal bodily function….the louder the better. My husband once walked past me, aimed his arse in my direction and let rip! [...]

Homework at 30

I never thought I’d still be doing homework at the age of 30 but that’s precisely what I was doing the other night.  Let me explain, you see my seven year old came home from school with a note saying that she needed an Easter bonnet for the Easter parade.  No problems,  [...]
