I called my grandma last night and told her about the sun moon earrings that I lost. I told her how much I love them and how upset I am that they’re gone, and she sounded pretty upset too. She said that they were the first pair of earrings she ever made for me and …
There’s never a dull moment here at Cafe Mint. If it’s not Benny Brewster spilling his coffee all over the floor in a bout of over-enthusiastic gossiping, it’s Candice Merriman’s labrador sneaking several cream buns out of the display cabinet. Then, of course, there’s the Brewster twins, who leave a trail of chaos wherever they …
I’m obsessed with the beach. Every day over thirty I call into work sick and drive down to Cambridge for the day. No one at work has ever commented on this, so I think I’m flying under the radar for now. I plan on doing this for many many years, and so I hope that …
I want to start a modelling career once I turn eighteen. I’ve been told by countless people that I have stunning features and the height to go along with it, but the only problem is that my teeth really aren’t very nice. This really detracts from my entire face, and I want to have my …
My brother ate my ice cream that I had hidden in the freezer. I’m so mad. It’s in the middle of summer and I purposely saved my ice cream for tonight because I knew it was going to be hot. I just went to the freezer to retrieve it, and it’s gone. I’ve looked everywhere, …
I just moved out of home with a group of friends! We’re all pretty poor and so none of us could afford to live somewhere new or live alone, and so we’ve moved out together! I’m really excited and happy about it. The house we’ve been approved for is extremely rundown, but it doesn’t matter …
I rue the day I let Diane set up that suggestion box. It’s not that I don’t care what our customers think; it’s just that… okay, fine. I don’t care what our customers think, beyond liking our coffee and cakes enough to keep coming back for more. Now we have to sit down and go …
First and foremost, I’d like to apologise for my lack of blog posting over the last few weeks. I’ve been settling into my new job as the Hobart Managing Director of the company I work for, and have just spent my time adjusting to my new life. It’s been an extremely smooth transition, and the …
At the company I work for, my bosses don’t really believe in pay rises but they do believe in rewards. It’s a rite of passage at my workplace to be given a company van or ute upon completion of the third year of your apprenticeship. It means that you can work for your whole fourth …
My fiance is really into boating but doesn’t own a boat. We recently got engaged and as an engagement present, I want to buy him one. I’m fairly way off thanks to an extremely high paying job in a niche market and so money is no object. I’m envisaging the both of us spending summers …
