I really love my new babysitting job. I’ve never babysat before, so I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it, but the children I babysit are so calm and quiet that it’s actually a pretty easy gig. I get paid really well, and all I have to do is watch them and occasionally feed them. …
I’m really worried about my mum. She lives alone despite the fact that she is too old and frail to look after herself anymore. She’s understandably very attached to her dog and the home she’s lived in for the last twenty years with my dad. He’s no longer with us which is devastating, but what …
My girlfriend came back into the room with two mugs of tea, leaning against the doorframe as she watched me struggle underneath her computer. ‘Any luck?’ she asked, hopefully. ‘Yes, actually,’ I said, standing up and accepting one of the mugs. ‘I’ve diagnosed your problem.’ ‘Really?!’ she seemed surprised. I nodded. …
Hi! I saw how much support that other lady was getting when she posted about her shoulder and arm troubles, so I thought I’d jump in and do something similar, just to settle the old nerves, you know? (How is she, by the way? Has anyone heard from her in a while?) Anyway, I guess …
“Hannah’s tattoo should be almost done,” I say. Emily glances at her watch. “Do you want to go and watch the reveal?” I nod. “I think she’ll want it on video.” We’re seated at our local burger joint, so we wipe the tomato sauce off our fingers and race down the pavement to the tattoo …

Hello everyone! Jackie’s parents’ Chrissy and Kyle here. Our daughter has asked us to throw in our two cents worth on her class-clown-like behaviour. She’s always loved pushing the boundaries with jokes and making jokes at our expense. It’s never been done in a mean way and her jokes are always said in jest. She’s …
Does anyone else hate driving while sitting in silence? In fact, I’m not sure if I hate sitting in silence more or if it is talkback radio that absolutely grinds my gears. The day has finally come for my car’s CD player to stop working and I’m absolutely spewing. There’s nothing I love more than …
I’m a property investor and I’m currently building a series of luxury apartments that I will sell for a large sum of money. When I say I’m building the apartments, I’m obviously not the builder, but I am funding the project and I will own each apartment after they have been built. Therefore for the …
Okay, I feel like such a bad person. Ever since that blog post I wrote complaining about the price of running a car, bad things have been happening to people’s cars that I care about. My car is fine seeing as I have literally just gotten a car service from a mechanic in the local …
