A Costco Mystery Revealed.
I’m starting today’s post with a reader request. There was some curiosity about the $45 Costco shoe cube and here is mine in all its glory. For reference, this photo was taken in a hallway and the cabinet next to it reaches up about halfway along the wall. I’m not sure which pieces of information…

Hello and Don’t Forget the Giveaway.
Hello Everyone It’s Monday afternoon already. How are you travelling? It’s less than 16 days until our next public holiday. Doesn’t the whole of January feel like some kind of extended holiday anway? Thanks for all your kind comments about the massive declutter over the weekend. I’m so spent emotionally I don’t actually have much…

Furls. Costco DIY. A Makeup Streamline.
As I’m typing this post, a deluge has started over Sydney and I’m relieved. It’s been humid all day and we really needed the rain to clear the air and cool it. All the windows and doors are open here at SSG Manor and the breeze is heavy with that rich yet refreshing scent of…

Cleaning and Culling.
If I could give the word declutter more than three syllables, I would. Nothing less than six syllables could accurately convey the amount of cleaning and culling that went on at SSG Manor today. I suspect the task isn’t over yet either, I could be doing this all over again next weekend. I started the…

I’m Sorry, Ms Heigl – Nextdirect.com Was In My Letterbox As Well.
Seriously, what is wrong with this photo? I’ll give you a clue. It’s a trolley snap at the Costco checkout. That’s right. That’s all there was this evening. Our home delivery service has taken a break for the holiday season and I’ve been left to fend for myself in the fresh produce department. Did I…

The Tropical Flu. SSG’s Stock Taken. The Family.
The tropical flu sounds much more fun than it actually is. Thankfully, mine seems to have only been a 24 hour visitor. Just as well, I’ve got thing to do and places to be. I suppose things could be worse. This head cold could have started during the holidays. Whichever way you look at it…

The Weeknight Book Club: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
www.screenrant.com I was just never going to be a Twi-hard. Bella is just so sullen (and now Cullen). I dutifully read the series but never seemed to be able to whip myself into a frenzy about either of Bella’s warring (and equally grim) lovers, Jacob and Edward. Then there’s the ongoing battle between blood and pallor…

SSG’s Zara Home Giveaway.
And that’s another Christmas and New Year’s done and dusted. Great while it lasted but now it’s time to get back into your regular routine with work, the family and all those other commitments that miss you more than you miss them. It’s also been around 2 years here on the blog. I know, how…

Time Is Flying Already. It’s Finally Summer In Sydney.
From the looks of the supermarket shelves, 2012 is flying by faster than the speed of light. It’s Easter at Coles already! On the second day of January. I’ve spent today reading and lounging in various locations around the place. Mostly on the sofa at home but I did make it out to Maccas for…

Saying Hello to 2012 With Some Key Buys.
Hello and Happy 2012! Aren’t New Year’s Days that fall on Sundays the greatest thing? What is not to love about a public holiday Monday to kick of the new year? It isn’t just the arrival of a new year that’s telling me I’m old, it was how I spent New Year’s Eve. Quietly and…
