Introducing Your New Partner to Your Kids.

So…You’ve gotten yourself a divorce? – Congratulations! You’ve then chosen to have a couple of years of being celibate, finding yourself, concentrating on your health, children and your circle of friends. – What a very wise decision! Especially for a woman that has been married to the same guy since she was 17 years old and is now adulting on her own for the first time at 43 years old. After…

You know you’re pulling off the ‘Totally Natural at This Shit-New Mum’ look, if, on the outside you look and sound like Mary Poppins, even though on the inside you secretly…

How to Avoid Crazy Dance Mums, Psycho Soccer Dads and Nutty Netball Parents.

Oooh, this is a juicy topic that us parents can all relate to. Whether it’s dancing, swimming, netball, soccer, martial arts….It is a dog eat dog world out there, isn’t it? I’m going to use the term ‘Dance’ Mums but feel free to slot in the word Netball, Soccer etc. instead of dance. Because…Well…There Ain’t no Mum like a Dance Mum. We have all been in the cutthroat world of the competitive…

The Wiggles Vs Snoop Dog - A Mum's Battle for the Stereo.

The Wiggles Vs Snoop Dog – A Mum’s Battle for the Stereo.

I bloody love music. It enhances my life and mood like nothing else can.

I listen to music the most when I’m driving around in my car, as it’s the only place I can sit down for more than ten minutes and put on what I want to listen to with no interruptions. I could be driving to Lakeside Shopping Mall, which is a good 15 minutes away from my house, and just like they used to say on the old UK TV…

Suburb Snobbery.

Are you a suburb snob? I have to admit, I have definitely been guilty of this one… but it didn’t start until my kids started at the local private school here in the Northern Suburbs of Perth. I would definitely say that was where it all began. Before all this, you’ve got to remember that I come from ‘humble beginnings’. Well, that’s one way to put it anyway. As I have stated before many a time,…

Muvva Dearest (A poem by divorced-sober-ginger)

Treat Them Mean, Keep Them Keen?…Bollocks to That! (The Balance of Power, Part 2)

Now you know I like to do the odd personal blog about how fucked up I am…so here is a little treat for you…

This ‘Balance of Power’ bollocks is starting to really piss me off. So I’ve been dating for the past few months or so. And let me tell you it has been very bloody interesting. Not only because of the people I have met, but also because of how my head has dealt with this whole ‘Balance of…

Biatches.

So this week’s blog is about us women not having each other’s backs as much as we should, or for being happy for a friend’s good fortune or achievement.

Usually, it’s because we are jealous or envious. We don’t want to be nice about what said the person has accomplished because we either wish it was us or it makes us look at our own under-achievements.

Slagging off or pulling apart somebody…

The Rise and Fall of Logan Paul

So first off….who is Logan Paul? Should you know who he is? Absolutely!! Especially if you have kids…you’d better brush up your knowledge.

The Balance of Power (Part 1) – When Beginning to Date

(Every time you read ‘Balance of Power’ you need to do it in a big deep echoey voice in your head. It reads so much better.)

Wow, it’s a minefield, isn’t it? People say, ‘ I hate playing games’, but let’s face it, the minute you’re at the beginning of a new relationship, you are in a sort of game of chess whether you like it or not. The worst thing is, we usually sabotage it for ourselves…

How Very Dare You!! The Art of Being Offended.

Ok, so if you read my blogs, you probably don’t get that offended, as a lot of the time…they can be a little ‘cunty’ (the word, not the sentiment).

The art of being offended by everything is sooo exhausting, so I have an idea?!?… Stop being such a cunt and chill the fuck out (I was trying to be offensive btw).

Chill the fuck out

Being offended by everything starts quite early, I think there is…

Adulting: To Do Grown Up Things

So this last week I had the biggest revelation ever. It was actually a real shock. Are you ready?…

I have never ever really properly ‘adulted’ before.

At the grand old age of 42 years old! I mean…I’ve knocked two kids out, had a mortgage, got sober, worked for a living etc, but this last week took things to a whole other ‘adult’ level. I would like to say first…I know…I know…lucky me to have…

A Q&A with My Gay 15 yr old Daughter.

I thought it would be a fun and interesting exercise to have a Q&A with my daughter. She came out to me as gay when she was 12 years old and publicly last year. So I have asked her a set of questions to see what her thoughts and opinions were at the time and since. I then gave her the opportunity to ask me some questions about how I felt. I haven’t changed or edited her responses.

Can I just…

Perspective. Action or Reaction?

This is a long one, so grab a cuppa as it’s a good’en, so worth a read. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

I was at bookclub the other week. Bookclub is really an excuse to get a load of women together and have a piss up and a nice dinner once a month. You do get to read books that you wouldn’t usually read too, and we do talk about them for about five minutes. I bloody love it, I won’t…

How You Think = How You Live

It’s funny, today I have been feeling really overwhelmed. I have lots to do and have had only four hours sleep. I am finishing off my accounts (last bit) for my new accountant, and I am now sitting here wondering how on earth I am going to carry on with my business project with no money. It’s a scary thought. I could really have a breakdown (another one), but I have been sitting here thinking “How…

My Problem With The Bachelor.

I know, I know…’Just don’t watch it’ is the answer.

The season that has just finished is the first time I have ever watched The Bachelor, and I have to say it sort of creeped me out?!

Isn’t it just a show about a man cheating on a load of women but with them all knowing about it? Well…Duh, yes it is.

And was it just me watching in on the final episodes that was like “Hello…are you three…
