After more than a decade of working as a baker, I’ve finally given up. It was great at first. Lots of free bread. But those early mornings are doing my head in. They’re so early that it’s basically still the previous day by the time I arrive at work. Not fun at all. I’ve had …
As a professional caterer, I spend most of my time whipping up a storm in the kitchen. I’m pretty well-regarded in the industry, which means I often get booked for expensive events with hundreds of people.

After spending the day delivering cheese to rats across Melbourne, Remy finally returned home.

“You’re losing it, you know?” said Rose Number 2. “This really isn’t healthy. You’re sitting in a bunker talking to five roses, waiting for the world to end. But the fact is that it has been two days and you’re still alive, so it’s pretty clear that the meteor was stopped somehow. Are you going …
I get stressed out when things go wrong. I’m the type of person to dwell on things and make them really big issues in my head. If someone says something that seems somewhat off, I think about it all day, every day. If my car makes a noise that it’s never made before, I automatically …
Looking after my daughter is very difficult. She is an incredible person and I am so proud of the woman she has become, but she has a disability that has seriously controlled her life. She’s not allowed to drive which means she has very little independence and is scared to be by herself in case …
So talking about getting older with my friends and family didn’t go down too well. Apparently, the majority of them are in the same position I was in a couple of years ago. They are struggling to come to terms with getting older and are really holding onto the fact that they aren’t old yet. …
