As the youngest of six kids and from an Irish clan of millions of nieces, nephews, cousins and random Irish backpackers who turn up to our Sunday arvo affairs, I’m at a birthday party about once a week. And during “March Madness” we’re blowing out candles just about every day! One year, two of my sisters actually gave birth on the same day which, until I came across the Crompton family of Albury-Wodonga in this week’s issue, I thought was really something. You see, the Cromptons (on p36) absolutely smash the Connolly record with four of them celebrating their birthday this Wednesday – the odds of which are 17 billion to one! Speaking of birthdays, this week marks the start of Princess Charlotte’s terrible twos and, going by her mum’s…

‘I’ve got to make sure I get everything right’ He was the man of the moment when he picked up a Gold Logie for his role in Molly last week. But beneath Samuel Johnson’s ear-to-ear smile as he took to the stage to accept his award was the heartache of his sister Connie’s decision to cease all treatment after a seven-year battle with aggressive breast cancer. Now, Sam has admitted the incredibly close pair have started to plan what the future will hold for Connie’s two children, Willoughby, 10, and nine-year-old Hamilton. “Connie’s got some pretty important jobs for me when it comes to her kids once she’s gone.

It may have come as a complete surprise to Edwina Bartholomew when her boyfriend of six years Neil Varcoe proposed, but her Seven co-workers were totally in on the romantic secret! In fact, fellow journalist Neil enlisted the Sunrise wardrobe department to help him design the engagement ring. “He had the girls from wardrobe pretend to measure my ring finger for the Logies so he could get the right size,” a beaming Edwina explains. “My boss Michael [Pell] was in on it.
