I wish I’d never brought up renovating the bathroom with my wife – I’m too old for all this banging and clanging, and oiled-up young men traipsing through my house with nowhere near enough clothing on. It’s winter, for Pete’s sake! But traipse they do, winking at my wife as they sling my old …
‘That is it, Michael!’ Courtenay screamed, throwing open the front door to their house and storming onto the front lawn. ‘I’ve had enough. More than enough! You could fill books with just how much I’ve had!’ ‘Okay, baby,’ Michael said, inching out of the house after her and nervously eyeing the neighbouring houses. ‘Let’s …
Gemma’s mother waved her down as she headed for the car, one last box held aloft. ‘Wait!’ she cried out, despite the fact that Gemma had already stopped at the gate. ‘One more, one more!’ ‘It’s alright, Mum,’ Gemma laughed. ‘I’m not gone yet.’ ‘Oh, but you’re about to be,’ her mum …

Since getting my licence fifteen years ago, I’d say I’ve had about nine different cars. Is this an excessive number? I don’t know, but what I do know is that I just love cars. I’ve had a whole heap of different cars in the last fifteen years. I’ve owned utes, vans, convertibles, sports cars, luxury …

Nothing in life lasts forever. As much as we wish things in our life could be everlasting and carry on for as long as we exist, it’s just not possible. People will come and go. Possessions will come and go. Money will come and go. That’s why it’s important to make the most of everything …
