Punked by Mr Point Five

 For those of you who follow me on facebook, you may have noticed a status a few months back about how I got well and truly punked by by my Mister. I had a more than a few inquisitive comments and even a nosey PM about what happened so as the steam from my ears made typing extremely difficult at the time, a few months after the crime, I thought I would share. If you happened to see my home tour video before it was not so ceremoniously yanked from the interwebs (#videogate), you would have seen that upstairs...

Coyote Ugly – Bloggers gone Bad

So my blogger bestie Jane from Almost Jane  and I were cyber chatting last night whilst perving on all the photos that were flooding our facebook newsfeed from the Pro Blogger Event happening over on the Gold Coast this weekend (or hashtagpbevent for the twits out there – thats not pb, peanut butter, its pb Pro Blogger – do NOT mix them up. A peanut butter event is a whole lot more sensual and a little risqué) We saw all the familiar faces who had somehow managed to leave their kids behind and travel up the coast from Melbs, Sydney and...

Night-time shenanigans…

You know when you wake in the night and you think you need to go to the loo?  But you don’t want to get up cos you are almost asleep and if you get up you wont be almost asleep so that’s a problem cos you want to be asleep. So you test the waters so to speak and do the controlled squeeze, you know, just to see exactly how much you need to go… You know what I mean, I’m sure. Then you realise that you should be OK until morning and you roll over and try to...

Meet the Poo Monster

SO, we have been toilet training Master J for the past few months. I’m not a hard core toilet trainer, get it done in a week; I’m more of a show them what should be happening, reward them when they get it right and let them go at their own pace. I have high hopes for this summer and lots of nappy free time outside :)Whilst Master J seems to be able to hold on to his wee’s and is bribable to do them in the toilet a lot of the time, we have had very limited no success...

Bottle V Box

Yesterday I caved and bought a cask of white wine. Nothing fancy, Berri crisp dry white with a supposed creamy finish. WTH?? Flash eh?? Now if you read this post, you may think I have fallen off the wagon. I haven’t.  The point of that post was that it made me very aware about what I was doing to my nearly 40 year body and compared to 3-4 glasses a night, every single night, I now only indulge once or twice a week and never more than two glasses. Trust me – really. *insert trustworthy toothy grin* Anyway, as I...

For the want of a thumb drive, the war was lost.

So, this happened last week. I’m not proud of it, but it happened. Hubby and I both have colds at the moment. It would beg to differ that we do, in fact, have the same cold. Yesterday we both went to work. I picked up the kids on my way home, got dinner ready for them and ran their bath. I made myself cheese on garlic bread as I couldn’t be bothered to cook and I threw some steamed fish into the microwave for  hubby. After the kids were in bed for the night hubby turned to me from...
