Is all this political correctness just getting totally out of hand? Now Noddy has been revamped but the golliwogs, his Toyland friends, have been given the boot because they might be deemed as racist. Are you serious?! There was nothing racist about it when Enid Blyton wrote these books and most people realise there was nothing racist about the toys. What’s next? Is Noddy’s mate Big Ears going ... Read More

I was lying in bed, reading, last night when there was a power blackout for a couple of seconds. Then I heard people talking outside and I overheard them talking about a car accident around the corner. Me, being the nosey concerned person that I am, called out to Bill who was in the living room and suggested he go and have a look so he could come back ... Read More

Breastfeeding is natural. We all know it. Until now though, all baby dolls are bottle-fed. Why? Spanish toy maker, Berjuan, has created a baby doll called Bebé Glotón with the idea to promote breastfeeding and to impress upon kids that breastfeeding is natural. A colourful bra-like halter top featuring flowers over the nipple area comes with the doll. When the baby doll is lifted to the flowers, it ... Read More

Just from reading emails, I have learned that: I am the sole winner of of both the British and European lotteries, even though I didn’t buy any tickets, and all I have to do is hand over all of my details! I don’t have to worry about my penis problems because I can buy Viagra really cheap. Emails concerning motorhome ... Read More

I was reading the latest confessions on TMC today. Usually I don’t comment unless I have something to say. I do “me too” a few confessions if I find I need to. But today I read the most ridiculous one yet. Someone had posted that when she sees a child under 2 years old with pierced ears, she automatically assumes that the child has a teenage mum. I ... Read More

I remember feeling so sad and heartbroken for Brian Corrigan when I first saw him on the evening news. He was in tears, begging the public to help find the person who killed his pregnant wife. I just couldn’t imagine the emotional pain this poor man was going through. But it didn’t take long for the truth to come out. HE was the one who murdered his wife and ... Read More

I cannot stand liars! I'm talking about full-on pathological liars that have no ounce of truth ever come out of their mouths. I USED to know someone like that. She told me so many lies in the time that we knew each other that it got to the stage where I found it hard to even listen to her because I knew that whatever she was going to say was ... Read More

Common sense! That is what is lacking in this world, seriously. "Why is Tina's husband holding a box of chocolates above his head?" I hear you ask. "I know that Tina has said that he's weird before but ........." The box of chocolates that we received from one of Madeline's best friends had the chocolate selection printed on the bottom of the box. Do you think that the ... Read More

Why is it, that when you buy a family ticket, it's for 2 adults and 2 children?! Seriously, that isn't an average family anymore! With the Christmas/Summer holidays just a couple of weeks away, I've been collating some ideas for outings and things to do with the family. One of the places on our list is Taronga Zoo. I checked out the website today and and as ... Read More

Giorgia likes to sleep in on the weekends (sometimes). But every weekend, no fail, the kids up the road are knocking at our door early, asking if she can come out to play. This morning was no different. I answered the door and told them that she was still sleeping. It seemed like it wasn't even 10 minutes after I closed the door, that they were knocking on the ... Read More
