The ‘real-deal’ Mary Poppins visited my house last week. Sure – her hair was a short, spiky, shade of crimson and she left according to her watch (not a wind change) but she saved my ass in the most delightful way. I, (AKA Mrs Banks), was elbows deep in sugar. Crap was strewn from one…
AND THE WINNER IS….SYDNEY!!!
Be careful what you wish for…. I had a bit of the ‘ho-hums’ recently…. You know those bad boys? We came back from holidays, and I looked around and thought, ‘here we go again…same old, same old. GROUNDHOG DAY!’ I decided I am one of those people who crave a bit of a change every…
TENT ORIGAMI : CAMPING WITH THE BILLY LIDS

With only a small sideways head tilt, a beatific smile and a wave to the fans, I make my way with perfect…

MY NAME UP IN LIGHTS; well…nearly…
Have I finally been ‘discovered’? Could it be? Was I always destined for the silver screen? Should I perhaps be drafting my next Logies acceptance speech? mmmmmmmmmmm…….??? No. A few months ago I had a blast at the Bellabox Beauty Lab when we checked out the range of Sebamed products. (VIP member no less!) (& if…
