Brastop! They are amazing. Huge collection, cute to boot, and often around half the price of the same Freya/curvy Kate/etc elsewhere. And AMAZING customer service. Had my first order a couple if months back, life changing!

I feel that kid’s pain. When I was around 3, my mum asked what I would like to call the new baby sister growing in her tummy. I really thought about it, then decided on my two favourite words - unfortunately, my mum decided not to go for my beautiful suggestion of ‘Parsley Wardrobe’

Lord, I’m getting all emotional over a CGI trailer. I’m so excited for this movie, but not sure if I can be restrained enough to keep my hopes in check. Growing up as a nerdy, somewhat outcast, glasses wearing bookworm called Sophie,this book was very dear to me. I’m so excited (but so nervous they’ll feck with it!)

Around my house it’s often called The Marinara Trench - named after my boyfriend misheard me say Mariana Trench and gleefully deployed ever since.

I just did I gigantic guffaw and now everyone in the office is staring. Totally worth it.

As a little glasses-wearing bookworm called Sophie, this book was dear to my heart. I’m so excited for this - but also so scared. Please be good!

This looks like it could have come straight from a cookbook I picked up once at a second hand sale. I believe it was called something like ‘Fun With Gelatin! (Bought to you by the Gelatin Board of America)‘

Kath and Kim would approve

“I just want you to know, your ketchup policy is BULLSHIT. I am an AMERICAN, I pay TAXES, why the fuck would I have to pay for ketchup? What is this Commie shit?”

Oh lord, I think I know him. Do I know him? He sounds like the infamous US exchange student at my NZ university who got caught trying to steal a handful of…

So famous! I belive he got shorn on live national TV and the nation was gripped - gripped I tell you.

When I was newly 16 and my little sister around 14, we were with my parents in our holiday place up at the lake. It’s a very quiet area; no shops, mostly retirees who fish, that sort of thing. So you can imagine our glee when a car pulled up across the road and out got 3 teenaged adonises, all surfer hair and 18 year…

Ah, my home town.... doing me proud, I see. There is a long-standing tradition of tooting your car horn long and loud as you travel through that tunnel - gotta say I prefer it to this new approach!

Oh man that book about the fire and the girl who didn’t know she was a ghost was the first Goosebumps I read. I remeber being horrified enough by it to get a bad tummy ache and be unable to sleep - my Mum thought it was because ooh spooky ghosts and she decided no more Goosebumps for me. But what she didn’t know was…

I love the BBC closed captions. We had them on constantly when I lioved in London and the slip ups are almost always entertaining. My favourite was when a cooking show host said ‘let the meat rest, then carve - mmm, delicious roast chicken’ and the subtitles said ‘let the meat rest, then carve - mmm, delicious roast…

Asshole pal aside, those are some good friends!

that story is so familiar. In my poor student days I was at an out-of-town wedding and went with a couple of friends. The wedding itself was at a big country house bed and breakfast type place - the bride had booked all the rooms for family and for the bridal party and the rest of us were staying in the nearby town in…

I’m so sorry. That’s Ishmael, he probably didn’t hear you. He’s actually deaf in one ear.” (he wasn’t deaf)

I went to visit a friend for a weekend. He was an ex once upon a time but we have been friends for far longer - yet, not long enough for this one girl who thought I was cutting in on her turf. Not only did she invite herself along to everything my friend and I planned to do, she kept doing it in this icky ‘let’s be…

Shortland Street is pretty awful and I try to avvoid it and yet somehow, without watching it, I can recognise people who’ve been in it? Don’t know how that happens! You are right though, I have def had the feeling that it is a rite of passage for Kiwi actors - watching LOTR/Hobbit films is like playing Shortland…

Have you read the article from his (former) friend, explaining why he is no longer welcome at her wedding? It is perfect. He’s a dick and now everyone knows it.
