What I Wish I Knew about Cancer part II

October 19, 2010

I’ve started interviewing people for the cancer book and I, as always, am getting way too much great material to fit in a book. So I thought I’d send some of the full answers out to you all. Please read on to hear what Ursula Harvey wishes she – and those around her – knew. [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Cancer

August 24, 2010

Buon Giorno Firstly let me admit that a “call for entries” is a really pathetic way to get back into my facebook page, but my time in Italy is still clinging to my brain, and it is for a bloody good cause. A really good bloke by the name of Gary Bertwistle, who I first [...]

Curse You Peter FitzSimons

June 27, 2010

There I was, happily enjoying the chaos of a wonderful family holiday in Italy. All 20 and a half (my sister has one on the way) of my extended family eating, drinking and arguing like idiots together with a gorgeous Umbrian backdrop – see below for the view from my window. And then Peter Fitz [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Work/Work/Life Balance

June 17, 2010

How out of whack is my life? I’m about to head off with my extended family to Italy, twenty-one of us in a Villa in Umbria, and this morning the whole thing seemed like a right pain in the arse. Even more delicious irony when my last blog was all about the benefits of heading [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Inside vs Outside (and a perfect word)

May 2, 2010

My last blog about the website for cheaters was picked up by the Sydney Morning Herald – a very big thanks to Peter FitzSimons for waving it in front of the right people. (Click the image and have a read, it has a different, way more judgmental and obnoxious ending which I’m pretty pleased with) [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Cheating

April 22, 2010

I read this article in the Sydney Morning Herald a week or so ago, and I’ve been waiting for the bile to die down so I could write about it without swearing. It’s about a man who’s setting up websites around the world to enable people to cheat on their partners. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/click-with-a-cheat–controversial-love-affair-site-launches-in–australia-20100412-s3ib.html Noel Biderman, of [...]

What I Wish I Knew about the All-Pervasive Facebook

April 17, 2010

Every now and then at a gig you get someone shout out “You are REALLY funny mate.” or something like that. And you have to love them because they really think they’re helping. Last night I had a similar thing, but she was very discreet and did it on facebook. My first FB heckler! Had [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Talkin’ Lurve

April 8, 2010

Had a great day yesterday on the couch with the women of The Circle. It was one of the best interviews I’ve had about the book because everyone was happy to talk about their own experience. As the books are all about Conversational Wisdom, I reckon this made for a much better segment. And I [...]

What I Wish I Knew about Your Heart Missing a Beat

March 29, 2010

No more sleeps, it’s finally here. Huzzah! Big thanks to everyone who’s emailed saying they’ve snapped What I Wish I Knew about Love up already. After living in the UK for 7 years I’d have to say I’m “well chuffed.” Firstly another quote that hit the cutting room floor – this time by Nigel Marsh [...]

What I Wish I Knew about the Director’s Cut

March 27, 2010

Here’s my last newsletter before the book hits the stores. Firstly have a look at this gorgeous quote from comic Cal Wilson. (And how awesome is her Fred Flintstone outfit?) How nervous and shy and desperately keen to never ever ever be rejected are we when we’re young? And how little did it really matter? [...]
