Fear not, just remember this clip from Women on the Verge of A Nervous Breakdown.

‘Wasdrobe’ is my new name for what was my work wardrobe. It came to me as I opened up the white doors to find something to wear for my child-free bout of weekend socialising. I rifled through the rails marvelling at all this smart stuff I haven’t worn for months and had a small but perfectly formed revelation. A very obvious and great divide had evolved….

There are two things I still need in my credit crunch arsenal; a good le Creuset set and a giant pasta saucepan (hopefully for cooking and not pan handling). Otherwise, I’m in the market for nothing; nada, nil, [...]

World weary sophisticates, please look away now….

Miniminx has lots of kids coming over for her birthday next Sunday. Things are different this year; with the job loss, credit crunch, and even Woolies gone to the dogs, I’ve put aside posh party planning in favour of a pot luck party on a shoestring budget of [...]

These stories won’t last long – but it’s what I call Plastic Parenting – in the same way that glamour models will go up to a FF cup with plastic surgery to get the biggest boobs on the block, these people will go to any lengths to exploit their fertility in what can only be described as the new sport of extreme breeding.
