Going through the Argentinian Airport we knew that the baggage handlers are notorious for opening peoples bags and stealing things so we were sure to put anything valuable in our carry-on bags.
When we got into Brazil and I opened my bag, they had stolen a necklace (that I had wrapped as a gift) but left the […]
I love baking, but baking a wonderful chocolate brownie is something I have always struggled with. It always tastes delicious, but looks really average. Now I think I have figured it out! So for all of you out there who want to cook the perfect chocolate brownie - its as easy as this:
Follow the recipe […]
Being in sales means that customer service is something near and dear to my heart. I really appreciate good customer service, and bad customer service makes me want to scream.
Because I am off work, and we are gearing up to go overseas, I am interacting with customer services representatives more than I have in a […]
Today John stay’s home with me - yippee. But at 2pm we had to take him to get all his wisdom teeth out so not much fun for him.
He didn’t go under general (was going to cost another over a thousand dollars more!) but had some other fancy drug that means he wasn’t all there for […]

…to leave the airport you must pay departure tax! […]
A couple of weeks ago I took part in Webstocks “Halfbaked.com Challange.” The fun and games really started the day before, when emails started and the Webstock organisers posted the following on their blog:
“And in one of those “battles within the game” scenarios, Sarah and John Lewis are married. But as always, these relationships take […]
Last week I got my GHD’s back (hair straightener’s). I had lent them out to a friend for her wedding, so went back to my old straightener’s for a couple of weeks. Within a day of having them back, I had two comments on my hair. One of them was that my hair looked “bigger” […]
Hi Mum,
Sorry I haven’t updated my blog for such a long time! It has been a long time. Things have been crazy busy here. Work is flat out, everyone is super busy. Which is great, but it means the last thing I want to do when I get home is sit in front of […]
