Beautiful one day, perfect the next….

I’m so enjoying the wonderful weather we are having at the moment here in Brisbane. Lovely and sunny, 25′C every day, cold overnight. It’s so different to what we would be having if we were still in Melbourne, my dad phoned at  1pm in the afternoon to say it was 7′C. So once again, I’m [...]

Noise

I am surrounded by noise. We have workmen next door, raising a one storey house, to put another level underneath. They’ve been working on it for a month now. So all I hear all day is PFFT PFFT PFFT as nail after nail is fired from the nail gun. Last week I had a migraine. [...]

Four Things……….

I was tagged the other day by Catnip and Coffee, for the Four Things Meme. So here it is!
Four Jobs I’ve Held

Computer Programmer – I HATED this. I am so grateful though, because this is where I met my wonderful husband.
Computer repair and maintenance – this was a 3 day job, after 3 days I [...]

Mmmmmmm

What is it about Maltesers that make them so yummy? Is it the chocolate? Is it the malty crunch? I don’t know, but I’m a sucker for them. Bought a big bag at the shop today. There goes Weight Watchers again…….

That man!!!

Are libraries still supposed to be quiet places?

Took my girls to the library today. They were being good for the first 20 minutes, but then Laney, the youngest had just had enough of the whole “Sshhhhh it’s a library” thing. She screamed the place down. Luckily mine wasn’t the only one acting up, another mothers children who were about 10 and 12 [...]

Twitter

I’ve just joined twitter. It’s so much fun. It’s sort of like talking to a friend on the phone saying…. “I’m just going downstairs to put some washing on.” or in my case “Why do men fart so loudly and feel so proud of themselves when they do?”
It’s like having a conversation with the whole [...]

The manliness of it all……

Was reading this post from BooMama about unboxing, a new online trend. It is such a manly thing to do. My husband keeps a close eye on the number of kms our car has done. I will not even attempt to remember the name of that piece of car equipment. Anyway, there are always several [...]

My Tiny Dancer

My 2 girls decided last term that they wanted to do ballet. After outlaying the money for leotards, and ballet shoes, my eldest is now doing tennis. And my youngest is doing nothing.
But look how gorgeous she looks.
