Mid-years resolution July 13, 2008

Because I don’t bother with New Years Resolutions, I thought a mid-years attempt to actually write something on this blog with a little more regularity might be a good way to go (even if ultimately only I read it!). So look forward to some renewed attempts to remain in communication with the world.
And [...]

Hate June 24, 2008

I hate pay office, I hate pay office, I hate pay office…..
I appreciate one should probably like pay office, seeing they deposity the pay. I officially hate pay office – BECAUSE THEY NEVER GET IT RIGHT!!!!!
It wasn’t bad enough that this fortnight I was taking a pay cut (a long and sordid story for some [...]

Dead bodies in the back yard June 12, 2008

Ok, now that I have your attention, let me tell you how much of a waste of time house inspections are. The estate agent today came to do there obligatory house inspection. In following the wisdom of my friend Greg (“Narelle, the house IS allowed to look lived in, you don’t need to [...]

Poor excuse for a scarf June 7, 2008

My cousin Tanya posted over here..
http://purplegiraffes.wordpress.com/ about her new scarf

It is a very impressive knitted scarf which she did all by herself. It also “kept her warm” in cold Bundaberg and Brisbane. Please! THEY ARE IN THE TROPICS!!!
This is a real, keep you warm in the cold scarf…

Adventures June 6, 2008

Today I got my boss to sign my annual leave form. This wouldn’t sound like much to many, however we’re talking some serious annual leave as motivation for turning up to work for the next 4 months! Yep, thats right – thats a glimpse of how far in advance one has to apply [...]

Cooking June 3, 2008

So, I like to cook. Usually it goes quite well. Most often I don’t actually follow the receipe properly. It would appear that sometimes you should.
Recently I bought this new tin – or more specifically not tin, and that proved to be the problem!

Yesterday I had to take morning tea to work. [...]

Thursday May 22, 2008

I always thought Thursday was the best day of the week. My theory being that once you survived Thursday, you’d made to Friday and all would be good. This week has been week 3 of hell – why do all the sick children, get sick and come to hospital AT THE SAME TIME?!?*

Surprises at every corner.. May 21, 2008

Last night my friend Liz and I decided to go to the movies. We saw the best chick flick on offer:

a) I rarely bother going to the movies – I find my own couch much more comfortable (that and I’m probably just cheap)
b) We got to [...]

Happy snaps May 20, 2008

Apparently its all about the pictures. The pictures in question being of the war wounds from last nights game. Sadly (or perhaps gladly) I have none (and truth be told the whacked nose probably feels worse than it looks ie. no one actually noticed). So instead here is this – the girls [...]

This sporting life May 19, 2008

Its Monday. That means netball. It usually means netball at some ungodly hour of the evening when I’d rather already be asleep, or too close to dinner in which case I worry I may chuck.
Not tonight.
For a positively pleasant change netball was at 6.20pm – most convenient.
Netball is (courtesy of the good folk [...]
