It’s always enjoyable hearing the comments flying out of my husbands mouth as he marks his students tests. His students are paying a fortune to study at university so you would think that they would take it seriously… sadly a few of them think it’s a holiday. It’s this group of people who warrant the [...]
The other day I got a facebook message from one of my 206 friends (take that Angela!) saying “wow Danielle that husband sure is cute”. After informing Luke of his fan I replied telling her that after 12 years of marriage I don’t see cute… sorry Luke. The next day I got a message explaining [...]
I have just seen pictures and video footage from this years Supernova Expo in Sydney. It’s scary, grown men and women dressed up in full costume facing off with other enemy costumed fans. It’s something I would expect to see at my nephews birthday party NOT an adult organised convention. Don’t get [...]
They say (whoever “they” are) that kids grow up so fast and yesterday I discovered they are right. We had eaten dinner and I was doing the dishes when it occurred to me that I didn’t know what my oldest was doing. So I wiped my hands and headed down the hallway only to find [...]
No, we don’t have head lice BUT we did get another note home from the school informing us that there are head lice in the class room. In fact during class time my daughters friend spotted a head louse on another friend and picked it off then killed it. This child seems to ALWAYS have [...]

It has been brought to my attention recently that the world is a very small place indeed. A country smaller and a state even smaller still… like a toilet block really. Doesn’t all the gossip happen in the toilet blocks of life? Messages scribbled on walls and exaggerated truths and half truths freely flowing. You [...]
I don’t know about you but me… I REALLY feel the cold. In winter my beanie is a permanent fixture which only comes off for showers. My youngest however is happy to just wear t-shirts and I don’t understand it, surely she must be cold? After much arguing she insists that she isn’t cold so [...]
The other day a friend…oh you know who you are… was having a game of bowling on my nintendo wii. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt and someone DID get hurt… our family high score got hurt… annihilated in fact! Here she was chatting away seemingly not even trying to play the [...]
As a child I remember sitting at the table with my mother’s scrutinizing glare on me and the way I ate chicken wings. Always knife and fork only, cutting the wing at the joints, separating the bones and eating every last piece of meat… leaving nothing but bare bone on the plate. I specifically remember [...]
