Just… use your common sense.  I was having a little muse in the shower the other day and I wondered how I’d go about writing a glos Read the rest!

Image & Feature Image It was a horrible little group of inconsiderate people at the laundromat. Let me start at the beginning. A few weeks ago our lovely friends came to take back their washing machine that they’d loaned us for that past year so we’ve been using the laundromat ever since. On Sunday afternoon my mate and I met at My Beautiful Laundrette – a gorgeous vintage style laundromat Read the rest!

I HATE 6am Carly. 6am Carly is an asshole. She’s cranky, she’s ugly, she likes to set me up for failure and she’s just a downright selfish bitch. I much prefer 11pm Carly. 11pm Carly is lovely. 11pm Carly removes all my makeup and puts yummy thick moisturiser on my face before bed. 11pm Carly sets out gym clothes for 6am Carly so she doesn’t have to search for sports socks in dark. 11pm Car Read the rest!

Last week I ran a survey asking what happens to the ring when an engagement breaks off? Over 150 people participated in the survey and there were some amazing comments too. I literally couldn’t do them without your support and I love organising the data and making the graphs for you. It gives me a tiny little Virgo boner.  Here are the results. If you broke off an engagement, would you keep the ring if you p Read the rest!

You may or may not know this about me but I happen to be a qualified jeweller. I can melt metal AND my fingers. Queen of Multi-Tasking. Anyway I digress. The reason that I’m telling you this is because whenever I hear of a broken engagement my first question is always ‘What happened to the ring?‘. It’s always such a big deal at the time, all the fussing and showing it off and then when the Read the rest!

1. You pick people up from the airport. 2. You have keys on your key ring and you have no idea what they’re for. 3. It’s not cause for serious alarm if a friend tells you she’s pregnant because they’re generally doing it on purpose these days. 4. You get so much pleasure out of buying staples in bulk.

Okay I’m about to get totally nerd Smags on you here. I enjoy mathematics. There. I said it. In fact I once got 100% on my advanced maths statistics test when I was in college. My college maths teacher, who actually reads Smaggle (Hi Mrs Clark!) will vouch for me. Anyway, you may remember a few weeks ago that I held a reader survey asking you guys a few things about you, just so I could learn more about what Read the rest!

On Sunday night I headed to my friend’s house with a nice bottle of red wine tucked under my arm. I planned to enjoy a drop or two during a read through of the play we’ve just started rehearsing. After polishing off our third tetra pak of red (yes… TETRA PAK!) we were screaming at each other about whether or not everyone is a Rolling Stones OR a Beatles fan or whether you can really be equal fan Read the rest!

Image Dear Aunties, It was around Christmas in 2010 when I’d come back to my hometown to visit my family. I was lying on my stomach on my parent’s couch reading a magazine. My brother and my mother were also sitting on the couch. There was a weird silence in the air and my mother said ‘So are you going to tell your sister?‘. My brother replied ‘I’d rather not‘. He then rev Read the rest!

You may remember a few months ago I wrote an article about my father lost his farts. It was a traumatic time for the entire family. Rest assured he’s totally back in action now. He managed to irrevocably burn the inside of my nostrils with a particularly heinous post-liquorice fart last week. We’re all very happy that he has made it through this troublesome time. You may also remember that I asked my re Read the rest!
