To say I’ve had a fair bit going on would probably be an understatement. Never do anything by halves I suppose! If you want anything done, ask a busy person. Or something!
Twice a year they have their stocktake at work. Basically it tells us how much has been nicked. The figure given to us in [...]

Don’t run away! Stay and read. You know you always learn something you really didn’t need to know from all these memes and this is one with a difference, so there! For one, I’m not going to tag you, you are going to ask to participate, and that is more of a directive than anything [...]

I can imagine show and tell at school tomorrow.
“Last night, Mummy picked us up and we went and chose gin and tonic and spent ages working out which weed was the best to get.”
We are pet owners again. Imogen wants a cat, Jasper wants a dog and I told them we could settle for goldfish! [...]

I so wanted to include this xkcd in here, but it won’t fit in my layout and looks crap! It needs to be shared! So in the immortal words of Molly Meldrum “Do yourselves a favour…”

We never ‘did’ Mother’s Day as a child. My father’s line was ‘Every day is Mother’s Day.’ We never did Father’s Day either.
For the 5 years I spent battling infertility I avoided Mother’s Day like the plague. Told myself it was over commercial.
Then I became a mother. My mum sent me flowers the first year [...]

Puns galore, yes! Have just bulk moderated 68 spam comments from the last few days. Most either offering online poker of ringtones. Oh and one from ‘Increase your girth and make her smile’ who liked my feminist rant on women’s day. Yeah… whatever!
Oh and you know how much I love elephants? Well I found this…

I have very mixed feelings about ANZAC Day. Part of this is because I don’t think war solves things. Of course this is all through a 2008 lens from someone who has not lived through direct family members being sent to war. So bear with me as I do feel my thoughts are all over [...]

I was just glancing at the google terms people have used and then hit my site in the last month. I have always found googling extremely easy and have been dubbed the Google Queen. I can still marvel at other people’s google skills, especially as it gets them to this. Here are some random search [...]

It strikes me as rather odd that each year we celebrate all these commercial events like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, St Patrick’s Day etc, yet every 4 years we have a day that occurs but once that seems to be missed.
I did ask in our morning meeting if salaried team members (ie management!) [...]
