- Car drivers who can't contemplate that other people choose not to or can't drive
- People who define themselves in their email, business or blog name by their maternal status. Mummyblogs etc. Painfully twee and surely somewhat limiting to the diversity that is a women's identity?

- People who stand at the pedestrian lights without pushing the walk button
- Tandoori tans

- Everyone hates Raymond and all other half hour sitcoms
- R&B and mainstream misogynist hip-hop
- Football and any other sport aired in television
- Gladiator sandals
- Men who sit on public transport with their legs wide open
- People who spit in public or engage in any activity that exposes others to their phelgm or mucus
- People who sniff instead of blowing their noses
- The fact sports people earn more than people in community services, welfare and education
- Coriander
- Christmas carols
- Peanuts and peanut products (not allergic, just don't like the taste)
- People who play music on their mobile phones in public
- Couples with shared email addresses
- Aniseed
- Perpetual beanie wearers like Syd from Skins
- Shopping at shopping centres and department stores in general
- Beer
- Loud commercial radio in shops and cafes
- Apple juice
- Rodents
- Salespeople in shops who repeatedly greet you insincerely and ask if you want help when you have already declined
- Being accosted for money on the street, I give to my chosen charities
- Loud children in libraries

Things I dislike
Just thought it was time for a blog post with a difference, for a bit of fun.I've been showcasing things I like for a long time so I thought I'd make a list of things I don't like. Besides natural disasters, unethical practice, animal testing and cruelty etc, think of these as first world problems...

Loving this DIY scarf and tutorial
Love this bookshelf of interlocking boxes which can be rearranged to suit. Great for moving house too, no more packing boxes of books!
Gorgeous book mobiles

I think any crafty person would love this necklace
I love glass balloons, I saw some like these last time I was in Italy. Alas they're not exactly travel friendly!
I find this gnome slightly sinister...
I've always liked Clarkes shoes and these ones are great!
You probably know that as well as my crafty pursuits, I also work for the not for profit Green Renters Well I'm proud to say that we've been nominated for an award in the WWF Earth Hour awards. We're in the top four in the education category for all of Australia which is a huge honour! If you fancied, you could also vote for us in the People's Choice Award and go in the draw to maybe win a prize....(we're in the top row, third along)

Two of my favourite things are re-purposed tea tins and plants!
If I had any knitting ability, I'd make dozens of these pugs
Quite tempted by this lovely shrug
Autumn is all about the eiderdown
If this came in my size I'd buy it in a shot!
