I've finally found a reality TV show I can participate in. I'm disqualified from the building, home renovation shows, because lets face it after a decade of building a house which still remains unfinished and undecorated makes me instantly ineligible. I've had more cooking disasters than successes, my technique is hit-and-miss and I'm lost … [Read more...]
Trying to find the funny
Dear Simon I have to write to you because I got all angry and ranty on the blog and Facebook yesterday and promised my readers I would go back to writing funny letters to my dead husband today. So .... anything amusing happening up where you are? Does God have a sense of humour? I have a big day planned, I'm cleaning out the study. Don't you … [Read more...]
One Down One Up 26/09/2014
Let's just all accept that for me Monday is the new Friday. I seem to be consistent in my late posting to Chrystina's link-up. One Down Princess Child has had three teeth removed and braces put on. Princess Child has been in pain and struggling. The last week has been a battleground of trying to get her to eat and drink. Remember this is a … [Read more...]

New Day
Dear Simon You've gone too far this time. I know you got nervous when the Navy super came through. You think having some money in the bank is a dangerous thing for me. (By the way there's still no sign of the life insurance or super from that bloody big bank but I'm sure that doesn't surprise you. I have the same case manager as you had for the … [Read more...]
My Top Five Gripes
I'm in a mood, you'll just have to deal with it. The top five things annoying me right now (I could have done a hundred but I decided to spare you the complete list because I don't want to put you in a mood too). My bra shop is closing down. This is a catastrophe people. Being a big-breasted woman in a small-breasted world is DIFFICULT! This … [Read more...]
Putting On A Happy Face
Dear Simon I'm suffering from performance anxiety. I've been feeling the pressure to write something FUNNY ever since I published Then The Dance Was Over about our wedding anniversary and made all my readers cry. By the way, thanks for remembering our anniversary by destroying the dishwasher. I think you are starting to run out of electrical … [Read more...]
Tonight’s Musical Selection
My career as an international spy has hit a road block. Clearly I suck at filming surveillance videos. But sticking with my whole quantity not quality theme this month I am posting it anyway. I think I've managed to adjust the positioning so you no longer need to lie down on your side to watch, and the focus improves slightly when Princess Child … [Read more...]
Pressure
I have exactly 14 minutes to write and publish a post. If I fail to do so the world will end! OK I may be exaggerating. If I fail to do so I will fail at my self-imposed goal of posting every day in June. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I set myself challenges only to freak out if I don't complete them. After all in the grand … [Read more...]
Practically Useless
You learn a lot about yourself when you suddenly find yourself partner-less after 24 years in a relationship. It turns out I'm really quite useless when it comes to anything practical. It's not that this is a huge surprise to anyone because, well I've always been that way, but when you had an in-house Mr Fix-it (or stuff-it-upper depending on … [Read more...]
