The next time I tried to drive to the suburb next to Raceview, the exact same thing happened to my car. It broke down unexpectedly and for absolutely no reason. I remembered that when my mechanic pushed my car back a few metres it started working again, so I did that too. Unsurprisingly, my car …
Sometimes it’s hard for me to admit that I’ve messed up. For example, last week when I stopped paying attention whilst driving and mounted the curb, I struggled to admit to anyone what I had been doing and what had happened. I just don’t like making mistakes and I really don’t like people knowing about …
Six years ago my parents retired and moved to Hobart. This was always their plan and I was very happy for them when they moved. I’ve always been very close to my parents and so when they moved I promised that I would visit them every summer from then on. I stood by that. Six …
Okay so where I left you guys off was when I was about to get my wheel alignment service and then the car air conditioning regas, because I bought a second hand car that is essentially a piece of junk. Well, both those services went well thanks to the mechanic and so now we’re up …
If I had to describe my life, I’d use an old, run down car as an analogy. My life is kind of like a car that should be able to, but for some reason just doesn’t start. I’ve been to almost one hundred different doctors who have no idea why I don’t have the drive …

I’m about to go on a road trip to the Grampians with my beautiful wife and two children! We are all extremely excited, especially because this trip is so different from our usual holidays. Each year we travel overseas, whether that be for a skiing holiday in Canada, laying on the beach in Vanuatu or …
I’m actually known in my local community as the suburb’s worst driver. I’m twenty-three years old and have failed my driving test four times in a row. I’ve got my fifth driving test attempt booked in for next month, and I’ve got the whole suburb behind me for support. It’s become a bit of a …
I’m really upset right now. My boyfriend has come down with a really bad flu that has gotten progressively worse over the last few days, and I can’t be there to help him. He lives about an hour away from me, which obviously isn’t close but isn’t too far and usually I would be able …
I am in my fourth year of an electrical apprenticeship. Anyone who has worked in a trade knows how difficult it is. Trade work is most definitely not for the faint of heart. Being a sparky has been a test of my stamina and resilience every day since I finished school five years ago. Don’t …
