Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Here I am already in my PjJs, considering a cup of chamomile tea rather than a glass of wine and wondering if I will actually be awake at midnight.
The hissychicks have partied hard tonight, having an early dinner at a bowling club where the majority of our dinner companions were octogenarians and unsurprisingly we were […]
And so that was Christmas
Friday, December 26th, 2008Just a brief one folks.
Yesterday was on the whole a rather enjoyable day, with the highs* mostly outweighing the lows **. There was lots of delectable food, plenty of time spent with Melbourne family (and whole lot of phone tag with my Sydney based one), the odd tantrum or seven (I will save that for […]
This post has it all: boob flashing, potty mouth and out and out hypocrisy
Sunday, December 21st, 2008We’re off to Melbourne tomorrow for sixteen days, and unless mr hissychick Santa is generous enough to bring me one of the netbooks that I have been coveting then my presence online will be at best erratic.

An anti-androgenic pill is obviously out for now, seeing as […]
Santa’s cutest elves
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008Go on, admit it. They totally are.
’tis the season and all that humbug
Friday, December 12th, 2008“Mummy where was I before I was born and exist(er)ed?”
Thursday, December 11th, 2008I am so waving the white flag right now.
Is it the E word, the A word or the D word?
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Can you guess what I’m talking about?
(Hint: it’s not my two rugrats.)
Sigh.
Odds and ends
Friday, December 5th, 2008Am still here, dear people inside the computer, I just don’t have an awful lot to say right now.
A is my adorable angel thanks to her lovely current regime of sleeping from 8:30 pm to 8:30 am (!!). I’m fairly certain she is also undergoing a massive developmental leap, as now she is doing such […]
