Do you ever have those days where literally everything goes wrong? That was my day today. I live in Brighton, a small town in Melbourne, Australia and I got up at 6:00am to go to the beach before work. I work your typical 9:00am-5:00pm job which is okay. I work to live rather than live …
I live with three boys, my husband and my two teenage sons. I swear, they are the most warm blooded people on the planet. It could be fifteen degrees in the middle of Autumn or the start of Spring and they’ve got the air conditioning on. It’s not hot in the slightest but for some …
I have to make a really tough decision today. One that I have been putting off for a very long time. Others might think it’s a simple choice, one that is easy to make. Not for me. I have no idea whether to paint the inside or outside of my house. They will both get …
Why did I agree to review fifty new bathroom designs in November? I thought it was totally possible. I tricked myself into thinking I could break it down into small chunks, day by day. 1.7 bathrooms per day didn’t sound like that much work. I told myself I could totally get that done and still …
I think I actually have the worst job in the world. Basically, some evil scientist with lemon-yellow skin pays me by the hour to pace in front of a stack of dynamite, back and forward, back and forward. I have to appear menacing, in case his nemesis comes around. For the record, his nemesis is …
Day three of my book tour was incredible. I got to meet some really nice people who have had their lives changed for the better, thanks to my memoir. It’s really touching since the whole reason I wrote my story was to influence the lives of fellow air conditioners. It’s often hard being an air …
I’m excited that they’re adding new teams to the Australian Footy Tournament (AFT), but some of the suggestions are simply ridiculous. I mean, the Berwick Super Bears? What a strange idea for a team. There are plenty of good ones out there, too, such as my own, so I don’t really think we need to …
It’s been a hot summer in the capital of Australia. One of the hottest I can remember, actually. It’s quite possible that this burning landscape is going to become unbearable very quickly. That is unless we come up with a solution to our temperature woes. I think I have just the idea. It’s ambitious, to …
Today has been pretty stressful, I have to admit. I didn’t think moving into my first home would take such a toll, but it really hasn’t been the walk in the park I expected. I thought it would be as simple as expressing interest, making an offer and moving in. It’s laughable how wrong I …
I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I live up to the stereotype that everyone Australian holds about Melbournians. I am footy-mad, love going to the pub on a Saturday night and have a girlfriend who is obsessed with the fact that we live in the shopping capital of Australia. So let me set the scene here. …
