Monday Musing

Why are our politicians payed so damn much? And why do they need all the perks they get while in office and after?

It really irks me that they can come out and say oh lets cut this, let’s cut that, we need to save money (but support big business and screw over the little people – they don’t say this but it usually happens). I would (probably) vote for the one pollie with the balls to stand up and say ‘hey why don’t we cut or freeze our wages, let’s get rid of some of our perks. Let’s actually help the people who need our help. Let’s tax those who can afford it. When we retire we should go on the same pension as everyone else or fund our own retirement with super we build up while in office.’

I know I’m dreaming but t would be nice

Blog

My blogging journey

Today marks the last day in May and therefore the last post for Blog Every Day in May for 2015. I missed a few days this year  but oh well.

I started my first blog way back when before blogging was cool, pretty sure it was on yahoo, maybe a geocities site I can’t really remember. Then Blogger came out and I started Ramblings from the Goth in May 2005. It rambled along til 2006 which is when I started Nightwolf’s Den (originally on Blogger until I won a domain name & hosting package a couple of year’s back).

2006 also saw me start a blog documenting our wedding. After the wedding I went back to one blog again then in 2009 I started From the Wolf’s Den when we found out we were expecting our first child. This one is still going but I don’t update it as often as I’d like. It’s all pregnancy, baby and children.

2009 I also started a Christmas blog but decided 3 blogs was too much and ended up just adding all the Christmas stuff to this blog.

From 2010 onwards I’ve pretty much concentrated my blogging journey here with the occasional post over at From the Wolf’s Den. This little space on the net has continued to see and record so many things – the birth of 2 gorgeous girls, my various businesses, scrapbooking adventures, a blogging conference, mum getting sick, Frocktobers, Afternoon Teals, LOTS of house renovations, some great products to review and so much more.

I look forward to seeing what the future brings 😀
