Instead, the couple opted to treat guests to chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers! GUEST LIST FROM HELL The planners say, “Nicola sent messages in a [group chat] adding and removing [names],” making the task difficult, before she described the list as a “murder scene”. During one exchange, Nicola’s mum suggested she wanted Harry and Meghan to attend. “Did ‘Megan’ get an invite?” To which her daughter asks, “Who’s Megan? “And Harry,” Claudia replied. $100,000 GLAM BILL Nelson Peltz is worth more than $2 billion, but the planners were told in no uncertain terms that Nelson - described in…

Working dog trainer Kahlee O’Leary sold her star kelpie Kimmy for a record-setting $27,000 at the Casterton Working Dog Auction last year to Ashley Meaburn and family, who farm 12,000 Merino sheep in Oatlands, Tasmania. “Kahlee sent me the same whistle she used for Kimmy in the paddock. I’d never used whistle commands before, so I had to learn how to use that, and then away we went. I blew the whistle and Kimmy did what she was told,” says Ashley. “When I haven’t had any work for her, I’ve been taking her for rides on the motorbike. If I pass some sheep, she thinks it’s a job and I have to say, ‘Uh-uh.’” Kimmy has also proved to be the after-hours pet Ashley was hoping for. She has sent…

She never expected to wake up in a hospital bed to discover she’d been the victim of an attempted murder.
