HI folks. I know that many of you received a version of a particular message in your inbox from your school today. I also know that some of those messages were somewhat helpful, and others left you scratching your head. In any case, I know that you want the very, very best for your young […]
Dear Parents and Carers, the message I wish you received today Read More
OK Boomers (or Gen X’ers like mwah) listen up. Our girls are in crisis. And it’s up to us to do something about it. NOW. When was the last time you complained about the size of your bum, or the wrinkle between your eyebrows, or the way your skin sags where it used to be

I’ve no doubt the past months have tested our telecommunications services. Afterall, what else is a nation stuck at home for several months going to do? There’s been the binge watching, gaming, online shopping and oh yes, online meetings. AND as a bonus we’ve taken up new hobbies – only in a modern and slightly

Do you remember the last time you missed someone? Not just a fleeting memory but a strong yearning, so strong it’s palpable. Maybe it’s a loved one now passed, an old flame, a faraway friend, kids who have left home or even a wise mentor who influenced change in your life. The people who have

Do you remember that tickle in your tummy you got when you were a kid and something cool was just about to happen? Perhaps it was Christmas, Easter, the Tooth Fairy or maybe it was the sound of Mr Whippy approaching your street. And do you remember that feeling of exhilaration when somebody said YES,
