Spent some money to fix the aircon in our main bedroom and 2 weeks later it died again and the temperature was in the high 30s. Girlfriend rings repairer and gives him an earful and they sent a repairman around 2.30 yesterday. He declares the unit DOA and would be expensive to fix. 4.00 oclock and rings landlord to tell him news. at 6.00 oclock 6 tradies turn up pull the old one out. and hour later a new unit is delivered and I go to nearby bar because I hate the sound of power tools. An hour later get phone call and all fixed. Get home pissed around 11.00 pm and had a great sleep. Good week because we bought a new stove top with a double burner on a shopping channel about a month ago. They automatically put us in a competition and we a twist and shape which is an excercise machine worth a couple of hundred bucks and is going to save me sending Boom to a gym . It was delivered an hour after we won it and they sent a dude to set it up. My Mum won a BBQ on Better homes and gardens 2 years ago and they took 4 months to deliver it. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Gees that’s a good landlord. Your gunna use that machine too yeah?!
Braved the sales traffic Sunday to get a mattress to replace the rock in the camper, ended up with 4 mattresses, they arrived yesterday, and hubby me and the eldest wrestled them upstairs, and wrapped up the old ones for the new house. Oh my god what a job, nearly ripped my big toe nail off, I have no idea how, and kinked my already sore neck! But this morning I slept an hour late, didn’t even notice when the pup apparently jumped on my head at 5.45am, and wow do I feel rested! Worth every almost half price cent! The eldest said she didn’t want to get out of bed and hubby said Merry Christmas!
a while back there was a thread asking about sheets and thread count. I can highly recommend the 1000 count Elysian sheets from Harris Scarfe, they are 1/2 price right now and you can buy the fitted sheet separately. apart from the feel and quality, they are so big, so easy to put on! got the protector and cotton doona in the same brand, just excellent quality and massive savings, i was going to pay a lot more for an apparently special cooling one, asked the sales lady (dont reply "my hubby is hot in bed, how do i fix that?"'! very funny, we both laughed!). she said just get pure cotton, not just the cover, right through. i thought id be cold with the thin doona, but i wasnt! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Played a bit with the twist and shape last night and it sent Tukky the wonder poodle into a spin. I think I will use when then the little kids come to amuse them. I am in the best weight range for years but the body is wrecked. I have 3 forms of arthritis (including gout). But I encourage others to use it.
But I did find some Bundaberg Ginger Beer on sale at the supermarket which I have planted at the local bar to mix with Bundy Rum. Just pay for the rum. Red wine is too expensive here. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

The 3 grandkids
Aria is 16 months and calls out for Grandad n is a little treasure. Such an amazing little tacker, you'd never guess she was 8 weeks prem.
Hayes (5 months) and Jaxx (6 months) are finally getting who I am and I'm gettin' lotsa smiles n cuddles.
Being a grand parent, and having 3 beautiful daughters is such a blessing. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

awesome guys, enjoy
I was 3 journey pics behind, been flat out, so last night with hubby flaked on the couch at 7.30pm i took off for the pier! wasnt getting much then i saw a couple of dudes getting ready to jump off, and asked them to wait so i could capture it for "'race''. the first set were crisp and clear, and i was wrapped, and then the sun just erupted, they jumped again and i got the most amazing series of pics! I texted this one to one of the guys tonight and he was wrapped and gave me his email for the full sized ones!!

I am glad you find this funny. I am glad you find this funny. Happy Holidays to you all to you too, like it's going to pass under land about a block of me it starts to the west on an alignment parallel with Queensberry St and then seems to do a dog-leg north-ish to get to near the haymarket roundabout Flemington RdGrattan StRoyal Parade spot which is I assume the logical cheap place to put the Parkville station. |

I have a pretty good doc. (preliminary report subject to confirmation)
Went to work yesterday, left before 10 feeling shitful, got an appointment to see her yesterday arvo.
Got an appointment with a cariologist Friday, and a cardiac stress test booked for January, couldn't get one earlier.
She gave me a physical and reckons I have a hernia (slight bulge next to belly button which has been there for years) so I'll get that checked out next year.
Checked out the numbness in my lower legs, did some kind of posture test and reckons it is back related at least in part. Worked back in my mind and can see that fits, so I've got a physio appointment Thursday after work. I don't like not feeling my legs properly and walking like Steady Eddie. Tried some Voltaren gel on the back earlier, can't tell if it's that or just sitting for a while, but feeling improvement.
Also, prescribed an antacid on steroids, Nexium, for the chest and upper abdomen tightness, working like a treat (so far)
I just want to get back to not feeling like shit, but it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel. Here's hoping the Cardiologist isn't riding a train. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Stui, my missus had an umbilical hernia op 2 weeks ago. She first noticed it around 20 years ago. If you look up the dictionary meaning of procrastination, yep, her picture is there.
6-8 weeks of no lifting makes it a bit difficult. |
