I remember many, many years ago, deciding to go camping with girlfriends on the river near Yarrawonga.
Had a tent, sleeping bags, food and of course Chateau cardboard.
Only problem was that we had forgotten half the tent pegs, had to sleep out under the stars - fortunately it was Summer.

hehe!! the Chateau cardboard helps with that!!!
hubby picked up a pallet of tents at the auctions a couple of years ago, its brand new, but i never thought to check it was all there!! hmm, oh well she has a swag, a day bed mattress,and a really good sleeping bag too! and snow rated thermals, a collingwood onesie, 2 snow parkas (i gave her mine too!!) and we went shopping for torch batteries and food, what an experience that was! it seems the boys are bringing that, and that aND that!! so she bought chips, cookie dough, tins of tuna, kellogs bars, coffee satchels, i managed to convince her to chuck in some rolls, protein shakes, and a couple of bananas!
still its only 2 nights! i told her if its too cold just go pay for a cabin.
cheers!!

Junior actually stayed another night, she was having fun. About to leave and her car is dead. In a caravan park in halls gap! She rings me, I talk to the guys, they tried to jump it, no go. I told them where the fuse was and started hunting down a mobile service. Told them to go into the office and ask if there is a local guy. (That message got lost for a while but they did after 30 min or so!) the manager came out and got it going, thank god! She has half a tank, probably enough to get close to home, definitely enough to recharge the battery.

yeah we have three of those, hubby likes those better than batteries, i cant tell you how many times ive been stranded with a dud battery. you see, he needs one for another car, and he swaps them out without telling me. we have a good one in the garage right now, well last time i looked it was there!! hes not allowed to touch my VW!!
anyhow she is home now, and apparently our family is strange. someone running around in a golf cart at the caravan park, one guy says" that would be cool if we had one of those" junior "my dads got one" "why?" "dont know think it was cheap" yep. the car breaks down. She borrows a phone to ring me (hers was flat) "wouldnt it be better to ring your dad?" "nope, mum is just as good and wont get mad!" "but whats your mum going to do?" "my mums a mechanic" "huh? what a real one?!" ill have to show them my newspaper cuttings and trophy!!

Little twitter exchange between Piers Morgan and Jim Jeffries.
Piers: People think Trump is an idiot but (etc etc)
Jim: I don't think he's an idiot, I think he's a Kunt.
Way to close an argument there Jim.

Listening to the Icelandic soccer sports broadcaster on their marvellous win over England overnight. More Brexit fallout?
