I love Christmas day, but I hate the months of lead up to Christmas, in particular Christmas shopping. However, I do love shopping for Christmas decorations, especially baubles and tinsel. I love how they make the tree colourful and light up. I wish everyone else would appreciate tinsel as much as I do and not use it as weapon against

The only thing that can cure my bad mood is a hot bubble bath, soothing music, candles and a glass of wine. There’s nothing better than relaxing in the tub, with time to myself and an atmosphere that takes me away from the world around me. Unfortunately, I have to dream today as all of my kids have chosen today

My four-year-old daughter picked a four leaf clover out of our backyard and gave it to me as a present. As four-year-olds do, they think they’ve found something extraordinary and want to share with you, so as parents do, I took it and put it in my pocket. I’ve never been superstitious, but ever since I’ve put the clover in

Tickets are my business, in particular, scalping them to everyday fools. Business is usually good at night, that’s when most of the shows are on. I didn’t intend on scalping as a career, but it’s hard to live off youth allowance when you’re living at uni accommodation. Once I’ve graduated, I’ll have a real job and be rich and famous

Some boyfriends get their girlfriends jewellery, chocolates and any other cookie-cutter gifts for their birthdays. Sure they mean well, but it’s not really thoughtful to me. I told my own boyfriend this and instead of arguing and contesting this idea, like all of my past boyfriends, he said “I’ll get you the most original, thoughtful gift in the world.” And

I’m a strong, proud, independent, hard-working career woman. I’m the CEO of one of the biggest companies in Australia. I’m admired, intimidated, feared. I love my job. However as I am CEO of such a huge influential company, I have long hours and pretty much work 24/7, so I have no boyfriend. And I live alone, so no-one massages my

The first step I’ll take for the rest of my life is the first step in my wedding waltz. I’ve lost count of the amount of things people have told me are the most important things at weddings: my wedding dress, my wedding rings, how much weight to lose to fit into my wedding dress, how much make-up is appropriate,

My best friend revealed to me that my boyfriend was going to leave me. My heart broke, I thought we were happy, I had no idea and I was terrified at the thought of confronting and later breaking-up with him. Nevertheless I would confront him tonight. How long did he think he could keep this a secret? So I confronted

I have two room-mates, Amber and Wally. They’re good to live with most of the time, except there is one thing about them that annoys me…. their inability to throw out the empty milk carton. Wally drinks out of the carton and puts it back in the fridge door. Amber yells at Wally for drinking out of the carton, pours
