I have been inspired to start this thread by the wonderfully positive and inspirational people on this forum. I'd love for everyone to join in if they want to :)
The idea is simple: post something (or everything!) that happened in your day that made you smile :)
It can be silly, it can be weird, it can be as simple as hearing a bird sing outside your window. Lets just share some happiness :)
-
Okay...I'll play this game and start with something really sappy. The first thing that made me smile this morning was the sound of my son's voice on the phone at 5am. He sounds happy and that made me happy. The second thing that made me smile was my husband rolling over and cuddling me....we have been together for nearly twenty years and I still can't imagine ever wanting to wake up anywhere but next to him.....told you it was sappy!
-
Not at all stacelee ;D
-
My first coffee of the day at 6am.
;D
-
That rates up there pretty highly too...particularly if you don't have to make it.....I scored well last night and this morning....DH brought me a chai last night in bed and this morning a latte, and then the feral fairy brought me a choc chip chai tea.....gotta love school holidays and late starts.
-
Mine is kinda sappy too.
Went to make a cup of tea first thing this morning (DH at work), and I found a little note in my cup, just saying "I love you" with a heart and kisses. He knew it would be the first thing I would do.
Later he rang to see how I was and I said I'm feeling really tired and cbb today, he asked if I'd eaten and I said no just the tea but for some reason I really felt like a cornish pasty ??? Can't explain that, been ages since I've had one. Anyway we said our goodbyes and about 20 mins later he came in carrying one. :o He'd been and bought one in his lunch break and brought it home for me. :-*
I shouldn't be surprised as he does lovely things for me all the time and I spoil him too. We've been together 33 years. :D
-
So many of us have wonderful DH's.
-
The first that made me smile was when DS woke up saying "Good morning mummy, I hope you had a good night sleep". He is so caring and then he made me a cup of coffee.
Got to work and when DH saw me pulling up, he made me a cup of coffee.
This afternoon DS teacher informs me that she would like to have a meeting with me start of next term. She has developed a special program for DS.
Looking forward to what tonight brings.
-
what thoughtful DH's you have!
My first smile was looking at all the dirty dishes from last nights meal that were kindly left for me.
My next smile was for my cat, she follows me around watching everything I do, and loves to sit above the kitchen sink and watch while I cook and wash dishes.
Following this, I had to laugh at this joke:
I took the wife to a disco at the weekend. There was a guy on the dance floor giving it everything he had; break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works.
My wife turned to me and said, "See that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down."
I said, "Looks like he's still f*****g celebrating!"
-
Wow, all these DH's sound wonderful everyone! Its lovely to know that so many of you having loving, caring relationships :D
DG your son sounds adorable :)
CP.... what can I say except ROFL ;D ;D ;D
-

;D ;D ;D This is my 5.30pm smile that's going to last and last. ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm a very spoiled wife as DH always puts my breakfast in front of me every morning. Gotta love him. We've been married nearly 40 years and together 44.
The first thing to make me smile this morning wass our weiro. After I got up he demanded loudly that I go and say hello to him. He then says'hello darling' to me and gives me lots of kisses.
-
You're not spoiled....you're appreciated.....you obviously have a fantastic relationship. I hope my husband and I are still appreciating each other in another 24 years (although if he keeps deciding at 5.45 that we MUST clean our offices before we go home, I may have to scone him with the mop!)
-
Amy, that is a nice thread.
Looking out of my window this morning and seeing the snow covered mountain and a blue wren drinking from the bird bath we just put in our garden:)
-
What a great thread Amy - a positive one. Maybe we can expand it to anything that made you smile today.
Mine is the cheeky smiles and sounds my baby daughter gives me. She's so happy most of the day.
-
I will have to take more notice of when something makes me smile or laugh - I'm feeling rather inadequate here, no coffee or breakfast waiting for me. It's probably when I come and have breakfast with the forum that I have my first smile unless there is a load of spam waiting to be deleted ;D It's lovely to hear your stories and it's so nice of you to share the romantic things your DH's do for you.

LOL Judy, I'm in the same boat as you with no coffee or breakfast waiting for me, but then again I don't have a DH :-)) The first thing that made me smile this morning was something on the forum, but I can't remember what, so I will have to pay more attention from now on ;)
Keep the happiness coming ladies, its so nice to hear all your lovely stories :-*
Its funny how the simple things are usually the most wonderful, and the things we don't often acknowledge.
-
Lying in bed with my feet *finally* warmIng up = my smile.
Plus this thread.
;-)

Amy, i just want to say what an assett you are to this forum. You add a new dimension. Please stay.
I am blessed with many beautiful moments in my day and probably almost as many challenges. Our foster twins will be 1 on the fourth and watching them tke first steps and learn new tricks always make me smile.

Denise, thank you so much :) Your compliment definitely made me smile! :D
Your foster twins sound gorgeous, you must be so proud of them. I think all foster parents are caring and wonderful people. I would love to be one when I'm older, it sounds like such a rewarding thing to do :D
-
Lying in bed with my feet *finally* warmIng up = my smile.
Plus this thread.
;-)
Gillian
In bed with warm footsies... that certainly sounds smile-inducing to me Gillian! ;D And I'm glad this thread made you smile. It makes me smile too, every time I reread the posts ;)
I'm enjoying all this happy sharing :D
-
Yes extremely rewarding and exhausting. These are our first, we have their 21/2 year old brother also. Just need to teach them all to sleep all night and an occational morning past 6am would be nice. Lots of happy times too.
-
No latte for me this morning...with the baby cow away, I forgot to buy milk, but I woke to the sound of drizzle on the roof and that was happy for me when I thought of my capsicum seedlings that I just planted.....:)....and then my husbands dog got on the bed for a cuddle, WET, there is going to be a shorn Pomeranian/shiatsu/silky terrier if he keeps it up....I swear he is part sponge (but adorable)
-
First thing that made me smile today was the same as every morning - DH's nice warm cuddle, kisses and "I love you, have a good day" :-* Then 1 of my lil bros (from NZ) rang, which made me smile again. Then Miss 3 woke up, climbed up for a hug and said "I had a good sleep mum, did you?" Then miss 5 asking how the new baby was going :-)) - then the girls thanking me for their breakfast.... oh and this view when I opened my curtains this morning:
-
So cute when kids do that Astarra :)
-
Astarra it sounds like you had a lovely morning, your girls sound adorable :) Thank you for sharing :D
This morning I smiled when I logged on to the forum and saw dede's comment on the Weight Loss Challenge thread. I am very happy for her :D
-
Smiled when I first woke up at 7.30am and remembered we have a teachers strike here today. So I can stay home and catch up on cooking and cleaning.

Now THAT is definitely worth smiling about DG :D :D :D
I'm smiling as I sit here because I can see the willy wag tails playing in the front yard. Its the first time I've seen them this morning so I think they must just have woken up. And had coffee by the looks of them ;D
-
I also smile when I look at the view of the lake....then remember I live in paradise.... :)
-
Just saw this and it made me smile.

I love it Dizzy ;D

Checking my emails this morning and seeing how many of my work collegues have donated to my Dry July challenge. I sent out a site wide email which includes a lot of people I've never met and I raised close to $300 for such a great cause. I haven't started the challenge but it's making me happy already.
-
so good Wonder... :)
-
Great work Wonder! Its such a great cause, well done for taking on the challenge :D
I'm sure the money you raise will make some other people very happy too... :)
-
Another thing to make me happy today.
Just rang Internet provider and because I have had satellite for over 3 years with them I qualify for NBN upgrade. I will get double GB for same price. Happy dance
-
Just a few of my happy's for today...
Hubby packing a banana in his lunchbox. You have no idea how happy that made me! And amazed! (goodness, I must check to see if he is ok...he never eats fruit!)
Miss 15 saying to me this morning "have I told you today that I love you?" with a big hug.
Miss 10 (nearly 11 Mum!) all snuggly and warm pulling me into her bed for a cuddle.
My old horse who hates love, cuddles or extra pats actually standing still for the extra hug I try and give him every morning.
My young horse trying to get an extra pat and cuddle (he loves love!) and rubbing his dirty smelly poo encrusted head on me. (His mummy didn't teach him not to sleep in his poo pile when he was a baby - he is gross!)
There'll be more - it is only 10.30am!
-

Lol DG, get right into that happy dancing. It'll burn off some of those evil calories ;)
Nikkit, I can't wait to hear what else you can post. Everything on your list made me smile too (until that last little bit about your young horse and his pooey head...) :-)) ;D
-
Reading this thread and smiling because despite a broken LARGE window, a blocked septic tank, and a broken down truck, I still have my 5 gorgeous kids, a DH who loves me, and some very special friends. And a DS who did indeed get selected for the regional hockey team and who's photo will be being taken by the local paper's photographer tonight for feature in Fridays paper.
-
Fruity i love the way you are Looking at the positives.
-
who hoo great news Fruity
-
Love it Fruity :D :D Keep on finding those positives ;)
I had to smile on my walk into town at the magpie who was feeding her baby some mushy looking Hungry Jacks fries :-))
Each to their own I suppose ;D
-
I've got a couple more...
Hubby came home early (rained off work) se we cut wood. (I know - terribly exciting - but it makes me happy when there's a pile ready to come inside for the fire!)
Went for a walk over the back in the empty block and filled in rabbit holes.
Miss 10 came home telling me she got up and spoke at the assembly today - so very proud of her. (She had a melt down on Monday and couldn't do it) And 15-20 "random kids" (her words) came up to her after the assembly and said she did a really good job.
Oh - hubby ate banana - and yes he is fine!
Young horse (he's 8) still wanted more love this arvo when I went out into the paddock - no poo encrusted head this time.
Old horse (he's 22) had had enough love this morning and wouldn't come near me for quids!
-
I'm happy tonight as I got the timing just right and managed to catch the early train home from work, meaning I'll get home about 15 minutes earlier than usual.
Not much I know, but I leave home in the morning just before 7am & usually don't get home until 6.20pm, so I love those 15 minutes!
-
Opened a cupboard tonight and out popped a cat (oh that's where he went )
That put a smile on my face lol. Not sure how long he was in there for :o
-
Nikkit, could you please congratulate Miss 10 on her assembly speech and DH for eating the banana for me? ;D ;D

LOL Mandi don't you love it when they do that :-))
-
Amy, love this . Sat in bed this morning and smiled all the way through.
Went out side our cabin and watched a mummy kangaroo feeding and then a joey poke his head out of her pouch.
Judy, you may not get a cuppa in bed, but I have seen Geoff smile while he has been watching you. This is worth 100 cups of tea.
-
Thanks Chookie, must have missed them ;)
-
Oh, such a lovely thread, thanks Amy :)
I have been smiling all the way through reading this, and laughing at dede's "cat in the cupboard".
I guess I started smiling this morning remembering a great demo I had last night where I sold my first TMX for June! It's been a rather dry month....
Then, after that, I was happy when I finished cleaning my workshop which has had a ceiling replaced and there was filth and grime over everything.
Generally, I'm a very happy person. Really grateful for my DH, how hard he works and what we've achieved over the years. I married a shearer and am now a farmer's wife!
-
MJ, congratulations. Lucky people to have you as a consultant.
-
The things I read on here and all the lovely people I am meeting.
Thanks Amy for the thread.
-
Megan my DH shears sheep, only for show now.
He was brought up on a sheep station..
-
I was introduced to a woman last night and the first thing she said to me was, "are you _____'s daughter?"
I said yes.
She said "I went to school with her."
A bloke who was standing with us said "does Amy look a bit like her then?"
The woman said "yeah, just a little bit...." (with a sarcastic smile on her face)
This sort of thing happens to me all the time and it still makes me smile every time. People who don't even know me figure out who I am because I look so much like my mum. Our doctor even used to joke that we look like twins :-))
Chookie, MJ and DJ, thanks so much for joining in :-*
-
Miss 3 made me smile just a second ago ...
Her-"mum, did you hear that?"
Me -"hear what, ...?"
Her-"the cow."
Me -"oh yeah, it moo'd, didn't it?"
Her-"yeah, it must have just laid some beef."
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
ROFL!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
Astarra that absolutely cracked me up! Oh the gorgeous things children say :-)) :D
-
Big smile from here too :D :D :D I love the things that come out of the mouths of tiny tots.
-
;D ;D ;D love it
-
My DD (aged 7) made me smile yesterday in the car when she told me that she knew who she was going to marry! I said, 'but you might not have met the person you're going to marry yet'. Her response, 'well I know who I'm going to marry from my childhood, it's (boy from her class), but not from my grown-up-hood, I don't know that yet'. Hmmmm wonder how many marriages she's planning?

That is sooooo funny Astarra - made my day!
Today having the electrician replace the kitchen light (which we have been without for 2 weeks!) made me smile, as well as gas bill that is half the amount that it was same time last year.
-
Finishing the health and safety assessment today after 3 long days in the office. Yeah!
The sunshine.. yeah!
DD accidentally being interviewed for a trainee position.. Yeah! Even if it's. It the right one it is a confidence giving boost.
Silage finished. yeah!
Four happy things .
-

Thats great news Tasty :) And well done on reducing your gas usage! :D
Thanks for sharing your happy things DJ. The sunshine definitely makes me happy too! ;)
My number one happy thing yesterday was going to my first thermomix demonstration. We've had a thermomix for 10 years now (mum worked it out the other day) and I'd never been to one until last night. It was AWESOME ;D ;D ;D
-
Watching the cat stalk the dog around the garden. He's blind so he had no idea where she was. She was runniing and jumping and then just at the last second she would think better of jumping on him. So funny to watch her antics from the window.
The thought of going on a nudist holiday like a family did on "Sunrise" today... (its not for me, but if you think about it for a couple of minutes it will certainly brings a smile to your face :D)

I needed that smile, thanks CP :-*
Your cat sounds gorgeous by the way :-))
-
Amy 10 years, what model do you have..
-
We started with the TM21 then got the TM31 when it came to Australia ;)
-
I still have Mums TM21 aswell.
-
Really Robyn? Do you ever use it? We sold our TM21. We like the TM31 much better :)
Today at the gym one of the trainers decided to give us a music quiz by asking us to name the artists of the songs that came on the radio. We answered about 5 before the trainer realised that the radio station was playing Beatle's number 1 hits and we all knew ;D ;D So he just started singing after that :-))
-
Amy i have a TM31, and i bought Mum a TM21, but I have it now as well.
I cook for them most nites, so Its for sale. ( the TM21 )

How much are you asking for it?
Very happy today... my mum has bought me a saxophone!! I have called it Sebastian and will post a photo when my camera battery finishes charging :D :D :D :D :D
-
You play the sax Amy? You're a young lady with many talents.
May I ask how your mum is doing now she has finished treatment?
-
looking forward to seeing the pic too Amy.
Miss 5 just made me smile - she brought me a home-made card with "I'm loving you" written on the front with lots of hearts, inside it said "Lots of love to you mum." :)
-
So lovely Astarra.
-
They are the notes you treasure forever.
When my DD was about 6yrs old (now 25) she wrote a note saying "I love you more then eny thick"
I have it in my sewing box.
-
You play the sax Amy? You're a young lady with many talents.
May I ask how your mum is doing now she has finished treatment?
Thanks Michele :D I started off playing the clarinet, then I played alto saxophone and took up baritone saxophone at the same time. Then I was told I was too talented to be playing saxophone (because its one of the easiest instruments to learn) so I learned to play the trumpet, and then played cornet as well so I could play in the brass band in our town. In amongst all this I also taught myself some basic piano. But now I am back to saxophone because a lady asked me to play in her band and she wants either saxophone or trumpet ;D ;D ;D And saxophone is very cool, even if it is easy to learn :-))
Of course you can ask about my mum :) She is going pretty well, she's very excited that her hair is starting to grow back ;) She still gets tired very easily, and she's having some trouble with her teeth and nails which we think is from the chemo, but we're through the worst of it and things are definitely looking up :D
Thank you for asking :-*
Astarra, you must be so proud of your girls. They sound very loving and caring :-*
-
Very nice instrument Amy.
Good to hear your mum's making progress. Yes, chemo will play havoc with teeth and nails.
-
Thanks Michele, he's very shiny and sparkly ;D
Do you have any suggestions for what my mum could do about her nails? ???
-
Prior to some chemotherapy being administered, finger tips are immersed in ice to reduce the nails falling out.
Unfortunately if the damage is done your mum will have to wait until they grow out.
-
Oh... what a shame nobody told us that before :(
Thanks anyway Michele :)
Today me and my mum went for a walk around a bush track and we found a little bench to sit down on for a while. While we were sitting there, a little bandicoot came out of her burrow and started hopping around. We sat on the bench for about 15 minutes watching the little bandicoot, who we named Barbara :D It was fun trying to guess where she would pop out of next, because there were lots of little hidey holes she kept disappearing into. She was a very cute bandicoot :D
So that made me happy today :)
-
Happy today to be home from holiday. Smiling when I saw hand made card left by GD to say she loves her Ma and Poppa, ( us). Great holiday, but love being home.
-
Oh chook what a lovely Welcoming Home.
-
My happy thing today was hearing my brat boy moving around in his bedroom which is directly above mine. Even though it was four am, it was wonderful to hear....I'm very happy to have him home.
-
I laughed yesterday when my cousin said she was using super glue and managed to almost glue her hand to some shoes, then she dripped 2 drops of the glue on her jeans which soaked through and glued the jeans to her legs :D
I hate super glue as I always manage to get some on my fingers.
-
Just yesterday, i bought DS4 a small pack of popcorn and DS1 saw his brother with the bag of popcorn, was walking (tottering) towards him to ask for some goodies.
So both boys just sat on the rug eating pocorn together for 15 mins. DS4 fed one popcorn at a time to DS1. So heart warming seeing them sitting together, side by side, and played nice. An unusual change from fighting with each other over toys all the time.... 😁
-
Chookie, what a lovely thing to come home to :D
Stacelee, I hope your brat boy is just as grateful to be home ;)
Mandi, I'm terrified of superglue for that very reason :-[
frazzled_mom, how beautiful to see your boys like that :D Did you get a photo?
Well... I had to smile yesterday because I discovered that a local college is FINALLY offering a course that I've been wanting to do for a couple of years now ;D And then I found out that enrolments are tomorrow :o
-
This made me laugh, the kids drew a picture of their dad lol :D
(http://img.tapatalk.com/90832ffb-3244-a49c.jpg)
-
LOL Mandi :D :D
-
So cute Mandi. Isn't it funny what kids see.
-
I couldn't help but giggle when I saw it. Even DH laughed. :D
-
Mandi thats so funny.
My DD writes me love cards and leaves them on my desk at work.. and in the fridge.
-
Kids do make you laugh and smile, and also melt with love, or shine with pride :) they also make you steam with anger and disappointment at times too. But all the cute and lovely things they do soon make you forget the naughty things.
-
love the impression dede - I gather your DH has a beer belly coming over half mast pants and enjoys being near a fridge with a carton or two and some takeaway? Don't think you could quite capture it in a photo as they have ;D ;D ;D
This piece of paper fell out of an old cookbook last night. I wrote the date on it, my DD24 was 9 at the time and was whinging about one of her so called friends so I told her to write down what it was she didn't like about her:
Dumb, adult, spoilt, big nose, loves money, loves boys, thinks she's pretty, big nose, bossy, body movements, thinks she's the best, sits around watching TV, thinks she's smart, loves boys and hate all her friends, eats BAD food for her teeth, never plays by the rules, kicks people out, when we play four squares says your out Jess's in.
...remembering brought a smile...
(I wonder if this girl has changed as she's grown older?)
-
Lol CP, I love looking back on the kids things. My DD spends alot of time with DH at the farm and sees all sorts of things, she quiet often comes home with stories she has wrote at school about what she did on the weekend with her dad and a lovely drawing to go with it. The teachers have commented quiet a few times about her stories with a bit of a giggle as she does not leave out any details :D even how lambs are born, or dead sheep etc.
As for DH he has a bit of a pot but not quiet that bad lol. :D but he does like his beer and KFC :D

The poor girl obviously had issues :-)) What on earth was that piece of paper doing in a cookbook though CP?
I just had a great workout. I felt so strong and fit and healthy. My new personal trainer is amazing. Very happy this morning :D
-
I've stuck quite a few little keepsakes like that the kids have given me over the years. Its always a nice surprise to open up a book and find a blast from the past :D
-
Today what made me smile was my little girl laughing at me as I did my video workout and also bopping along to the music near the end. So cute!!
-
Today I called out through my kitchen window for my little man (ds4) to come inside for lunch - about 10 times. Finally I watched him hop off the gate (which he had been having a great time swinging on) and start to amble his way inside. When he finally neared the door he suddenly veered of course and headed over to the garden. Crankily I stormed to the door and was ready to let him (and the neighbours) know I wasn't happy. When I saw him though I changed my mind. He was picking flowers from a shrub. Something he never does - he's very much a rough and tumble boy! When he has scruffed a big bunch (roots and all) he came rushing over to give them to me (with a big smooch). It's the little things . . . :)
-
how georgeous Chelsea. press them between a nice thick cookbook along with story and the date, and you'll get a thrill to be reminded of that moment in the future as its so easy to forget
-
. . a good idea of CP's Chelsea. Later he will come to understand just how much that meant to you . . . . :D Just beautiful moments. . .
-
A big bunch of flowers I found outside my front door this morning made me smile! :) And the sun streaming down did too. :D
-

Maybe she could do it with you next time Tasty! :-)) Sounds like you're doing some good positive role-modelling for her :D
Chelsea, that is just adorable :) I think you should do what CP suggested and press the flowers, and you could even put them in a frame and print the little story and date on some nice paper to put in the frame too. You'll cherish it forever :D
A big bunch of flowers I found outside my front door this morning made me smile! :) And the sun streaming down did too. :D
How lovely Astarra! ;D The sun is always a good reason to smile. It reminds me that no matter how dark the days seem, the light will always shine through and the world will keep on turning ;)
-
Fantastic Astarra, unexpected flowers are lovely.
A great reason to smile.. :)
Give your girls a cuddle too.

Thanx Robyn!! :) I love excuses to hug my girls!! :)
Today while I was hanging the washing I saw steam rising and freaked out then had to have a little chuckle at myself - it was just the hot sun shining on the damp black top which was causing the steam!! Was funny to see - I even managed to get a picture of it: (look near the centre of the pic) :D
-
LOL that looks really funny Astarra! Its pretty awesome that you got a photo ;)
I'm soooo happy after my workout today. I always am though :D
-
Happy to be back to normal today.
happy with my good bread, see Taiwan bread in bread thread, lots of pics.
happy DH is back home safe
Happy DD done another job application in her beautiful handwriting. That's 3 applications now in a week for proper on the job training. Fingers crossed.
Happy we go on holiday on saturday, stopping for a cuppa with my mum on long drive.
-
They all sound like good reasons to be happy DJ!!! :)
Fingers crossed for your DD too. :)
-
Everything there sounds very happy-inducing DJ ;D Good luck to DD :-*
Are you happy your handbag doesn't weigh a tonne anymore? ;)
-
Great Photo Astarra.
Happy to be at work with my little heater.
Its cold here, Temps 9-21* tops.
:)
-
I'm happy now cuz my 2nd bowl/blade set got delivered today!!! :D
-
Happy as we have had our DD and 2 GC for 3 days.
Happy today when we were able to sit quietly with a cuppa, after they left.
-
Both sound good reasons to be happy achookwoman ;)
Your home will seem quiet for the next few days I guess!? ;)
-
Astarra, I would also be very happy if I had a second bowl and blade!! ;D
Chookie, I imagine thats what my grandparents used to think when I stayed with them :-))
I'm glad to see there is still some happiness going around! :D
I'm happy today because I went for my run this morning, had a really nice lunch, got five new cookbooks (which I hope to convert some recipes from ;)), came on the forum and read all the friendly chatter, got some really yummy carrots from the vegie shop, and I'm sooooo excited for the retreat weekend, I think that will keep me happy until its over! And then I will be happy that I got to go along :D

Just found out a friend of mine who has started foster care is getting a 3 month old baby girl to take care of. I'm sad because of the situation why this baby needs foster care, but happy knowing that this baby will be so so loved and well taken care of now. :D
-
This made me smile!

Forgot to add... Very happy today as I'm getting my girls home from the in-laws. :D
(MIL just told me she is going to miss them tho. :( )
-
Thats sweet Astarra
-
This googleheimers ..... Is it catching?
-
This googleheimers ..... Is it catching?
I reckon it must be....now, what did I come to the computer for..... ;D
Also happy now as I have got all my tax stuff sorted out and my budget up to date. :) - Nice to get it done without 'helpers!!'
-
Will be lovely to have your girls home astarra.

That makes me really happy too Mandi :D I studied Child Protection so I know a bit about this sort of stuff, and this little girl is obviously going to a loving, caring household where she will get very well looked after :)
I'm loving the Googleheimer's ;D My condition finally has a name! :-))
Have fun with your girls Astarra :-* Say hi to them for me! :D
I still have endorphins running around in my brain from my 2 hour workout this morning, so I am very happy right now ;D ;D
-
I loved your happy posting Chookie.
Life will return to 'normal' for you Astarra with the children coming home - what great in-laws you must have.
My happy moment today was when the hairdresser pulled the tight rubber streak cap from my head - it's not until it's off that you realise how tight it has been for the past 30 minutes or so ;D
-

I only had that done once and promised myself I would never put myself through it again. I felt like my brain was going to start oozing out or something :-)) The relief is a very nice feeling when they take it off though ;D
-
All home and in bed now! :)
They didn't know we were going up there, so got a surprise when we walked in the door! :D Was so cute how they all wanted to climb all over both DH and me at once! :-)) Nice to have them home. :D
Yep, I do have awesome in-laws, I love them dearly! :D
-
Lovely astarra.
-
I found a little out of the way kitchen shop that had a wonderful special on reserving jars, so I was able to stock up on jars for the coming season. Looks like everyone will be getting preserves for Christmas :D
I love a bargain, and the jars were so pretty, it made me very happy.
-
Sounds like a great deal Merrilyn!! Well done :D
My mum and I had similar luck with saucepans today. We saved nearly $200 on four brand new, good quality saucepans. That made us very happy as our old ones are starting to fall apart :-))
:D :D
-
Fantastic Astarra ;)
-
ok . . . can get the message up on tapatalk but can't (or don't know!) how to load the photo - any help gratefully received. I can get the photos onto my pc (taken with iphone) but don't know how to post photos from there either . . . :'(
So far: used red wine (Kadarka), from the garden: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme - from the cupboard: a huge bayleaf and peppercorns. We put it on a shorter stainless steel drink bottle with a wide neck. The bottle proved to be a bit short ..but we'll see what happens! It's in/on the bbq now and the potatoes are now being prepared . . . .
-
I'm happy happy happy as we have marri timber floors laid this week in our bedroom and office. You have no idea how gooooood it is compared to the bare cement. ;D ;D ;D (we've been in the house a mere 7 1/2 years!!)
Now I have to go shopping for a new bedroom suite, new doona cover, find a painter to do a paint job in our bedroom and a few new things in the office so it looks finished. :D
Oh...and I threw out all those clothes that I was going to either "wear one day " or "lose weight one day". Decided today it was just never gonna happen - so Good Sammies here they come!
-
Nikkit that sounds very exciting!!!! :D What a shame you have to go shopping LOL :-)) It sounds like your bedroom is going to look wonderful.
Good idea getting rid of old clothes. I love throwing stuff out, it makes me very happy too ;D
-
Amy, I am a 4th generation hoarder (didn't know great great granny - so don't know what she was like - but the rest of us are hopeless hoarders!) ...you just never know when you might be able to use that bit you kept from 1974. Well today I told my dear departed Nana to leave for the day (I'm sure she comes to "visit" me when I'm having a chuck out and whispers in my ear that "no that could be useful one day dear...") and I've had a good clean out. She would be horrified and I can see her shaking her head now!!
-
Golly gosh, that is a lot of hoarding :o I'm the complete opposite of you! As soon as something no longer has an immediate use, I toss it. Which has proven to be not so helpful on a number of occasions :-))
I love throwing things out, in fact, I can see a whole bunch of things I could throw out right now ;D
Cleanliness and order make me happy ;)
-
Remind me not to invite you to morning tea then Amy! You'd have a field day here... ;D
After my Pop died we had to clean out their house before Nana could move. OMG! She had kept every butter and marg container she had bought from the last 20 years. (amongst a whole load of other things!) We couldn't quite see why at the time, but when you stop and think - she grew up in the depression era and was one of 10 kids, so you used every thing until it could be used no more.
I grew up on a farm and not much got chucked out there. If it did it was to our little tip - so we knew where it was if we ever needed it.
I tend to keep things for a couple of years and if it hasn't been used in that time - then it is time to pass it on. Unless it tugs the heart strings, then I just have to find a spot for it ;D
-
Lol okay, no morning tea for Amy at Nikkit's place :-))
I think my grandparents are a bit like that too, there is a use for everything! My nana always has a story for every knick knack and doo-hickey though, so its actually really nice :D
I have a little treasure chest for all my special things ;)
-
I'm like you Amy and toss things if they ate unused. With a family of 7 I can't afford to keep everything or we would run out of space to move around ;D
A couple of years ago we had or roof space turned into usuable storage with an attic ladder installed. I have been meaning to go up there and do a bit of a sort and chuck as well.
-
The other day while sorting out my filing cabinet I found a recipe (quiet a rude one about bananas) that my brother gave me many years ago. It made me smile when I read it, more because of the story on how I got it than the recipe it's self.
I went for a interview for a Job in Ballarat and got my brother to help me with my resume and letter of application. And as he lived in Melbourne he posted it along with the rude recipe. But instead of posting it directly to me he accidentally posted it to the place I was applying for a job :o
I did happen to get an interview and the first thing they handed me was the rude recipe and said I think this belongs to you. You can imagine my embarrassment :D
And I didn't get a job there, probably cause I was so embarrassed and nervous. :D
I laugh about it now though.
-
LOL Mandi, is the joke too rude to post? :-))
What a great story :D
-
I have only just found this tread. Sitting here drinking my second coffee reading all 10 pages. This has made me happy.
Last night I went to Lady Gaga with DW, my sister and BiL. Watchng my DW have such a good time made me happy. Then at the end of the concert Lady Gaga grabbed 2 fans from the audience to come on stage and dance with her during the encore. I really liked this. These girls were so happy (happy doesn't really describe it), I can't think of another performer who would do this.
-
LOL Mandi, is the joke too rude to post? :-))

Yep too rude Amy ;D

I'm glad you found this thread Dash, it makes me happy to re-read all the posts too :D
It sounds like Lady Gaga might be a pop star with a heart :o Not many of those around I don't think. I'm glad your DW enjoyed it, I imagine it was a very good concert ;)
LOL Mandi, is the joke too rude to post? :-))
What a great story :D
Yep too rude Amy ;D
:-)) :-)) :-))
-
Amy - I rang my Mum and told her I had had a clean out and the first thing she said was "oh...I hope it wasn't anything good or that you can use" I laughed and said "no Nana". What hope have I got?!
Finally finished cleaning up and there are 5 boxes for the Good Sammies. There is a box of shoes, I had no idea I had so many shoes that I did not wear. (what was I thinking when I bought some of them :o )
I even found my wedding shoes from 1995! They had to go. Hubby shook his head and said "geeze - you only wore that pair once".
Extra happy as the floors still look sensational and I can see more of them in the walk in robe now!
-
LOL good old mum Nikkit ;D ;D ;D
I'm very impressed that you're getting rid of 5 boxes! :o Well done! :D
Especially the shoes, I know how hard it is to get rid of shoes :-))
I was just overcome by such a sudden and intense feeling of happiness that I felt the urge to tell everyone that I loved them. Unfortunately I was in the shower at the time, so I didn't think that running out and shouting it to the world was such a good idea at that moment :-))
But I'm here, on the forum right now, telling you all how much I love you for being such wonderful human beings :-* :-* :-*
-
FINALLY finishing my assignment and submitting it with 20 minutes to spare made me happy. Or relieved... lol
-
Dash glad you had fun at the concert.
I am happy my DH lets me go thermomix here all the time.. I say i am going to check emails, then I end up here too...
-
Jakodai, I know the feeling.
What are you studying?
-
Oh wow, thats nail-biting stuff Amanda :o
I'm lucky my assessments don't have specific 'deadlines'. They're all just due at the end of the course, so I basically have a year to do them ;D
I say i am going to check emails, then I end up here too...
I say I'm studying and I end up here :-)) Much funnerer :D
-
To wake up in the mrning after a bad night to hear boys laughing & playing
:)
-
Well I have finally finished cleaning and decluttering. Happy moment last night sitting on the lounge with DH (DS at a sleepover) and looking at my beautiful clean house. Sad I know...
-
That is sweet H. :D
I am happy today as Miss 18mths has finally turned the corner and is nearly better after a horrible bout of croup. Poor kid.
Also happy Miss 5 gets herself up and dressed in the morning for school.
And happy cuz Miss 3 is laughing and it sounds so cute! :D

Good on you Hally :D Its hard to find things to be happy about when you're sick :-))
Gorgeous girls Astarra :-*

I went with my DS19 son to see "Moonshadow" in Melbourne. I didn't go to the WC whilst there because of the line up, nor when we left. We had quite a walk to the tram stop to catch our tram. After waiting over an hour in the freezing cold (and busting "to go") for our tram we re-read the schedule to find it didn't run on Saturday so we had to catch an alternative route. Nearly 2 hours after the musical finished - wow! was I ecstatic to go to the WC !!! and then snuggle up under the doona ;D
-
Ohhhh, CP I know that feeling. The relief when you can finally let it all out! Absolute bliss ;D ;D
I hope the musical was worth it! ;)
-
I'm Happy cause the sun is out therefore my clothes will dry today:D

Well I have finally finished cleaning and decluttering. Happy moment last night sitting on the lounge with DH (DS at a sleepover) and looking at my beautiful clean house. Sad I know...
Not sad at all. I keep opening my freezer and marvelling at the emptiness of it. I look at my wardrobe several times a day and am so pleased.
Nikkie is staring at her new floor constantly.
My wonderful Maria comes tomorrow to clean my floors. Clean house . Bliss.

McMich Moonshadow was great, and I would recommend seeing it. Amazing how your always fall in love with the characters. Their voices are amazing. The stage changes and set are so spectacular. DS had never seen a musical before and was really enthralled. Said he was going to see more - yay! So lucky in Melbourne to have half price tix available.
-
Today was good day and got a lot done so feel happy about that!
Also how funny my 10 month old daughter was finding me in the toilet and chatting to me through the door that was slightly ajar while making cute expressions. I also love all the sweet smiles that she gives me when watching me dry my hair.
So many moments that make you smile each day with a little one :) :) :) :)

Oh how cute, that's a gorgeous age Tasty, shame they have to grow so quickly.
My nephew who is 2 absolutely loves me and is always asking his mum (my sister) to go to dede's :D , he gives me big cuddles and kisses all the time. I do spoil him though cause he is so cute. :)
-
Kids do light up the world - they alway have something cute to say or do that makes everyone smile!
-
makes me happy that the kids loved the show.. :D
show bags, toys that we just bought.
fun family day.... ;D
Very happy that school is back tomorrow....
-
My DD 4 and DS 7 months, cracking up laughing together! So cute to see and hear them having a ball!
-
Woke up this morning with severe period pain. Not happy. DS saw me laying down and made me a coffee and said "mum I hope this makes your tummy better".

How gorgeous DG, your DS sounds like a lovely caring boy :)
-
DG, bless him ;D
Kids light up my world
:)

They sure do Hally. They are gods little treasures. Sometimes they drive you batty and then they lighten up your life. I couldn't imagine life without DS. As mothers we are so blessed.
-
I know crown prince is just our life :)
-
I am very happy because my mum sent me a text message saying that she had called the hospital and they said that grandpa is a lot happier today :D
Hopefully that means he isn't in as much pain :)
-
Yay! Great news, Amy.
-
That's great Amy.
-
That is good news Amy. Happy is great :)
-
Great new Amy, that has just made me Happy for you.. :)
-
Great Amy :) :)
-
That is so good Amy. :-*
DG - how sweet of your DS! :)
I'm happy today just cuz I am a mum. :)
-
Astarra he is a wonderful boy. Just made me another cup of coffee. God love him.
-
What a thoughtful DS dizzy.
-
He is Michele. But atm he is cleaning his games cupboard. We went to start playing Star Wars board game and no instructions and missing pieces. The lounge room floor is now full of games and pieces of games LOL.
-
Dizzy, sounds like my floor, full of lego....
-
What a lovely thread! I have to say just reading through the stories on here made me smile :D Must remember these when I am having a trying day. Another thing making me smile at the moment - my DS gurgling in his cot when he is supposed to be sleeping.
-
Hi Kath, how is it going. welcome aboard..
How old is your son, must still be little in a cot.. :)
-
Obbie he's 4 months old and a delight one day, terror the next! Today is turning out to be a 'delight' day, hence my smile at him gurgling. Another day there might not be so many smiles haha
-
Sounds like a normal child Kath LOL
-
That is a gorgeous age KathD11 ;)
Is he your first?
-
Sounds normal, wait till they grow up a bit..
-
He's my second, I have a DD as well 2 years old. She loves the TMX and helping put the ingredients in the bowl :) I am hoping she will turn out to be the next Nigella and support her mum in her old age ;)
-
My DD5, DD3 ands DD18mths all love 'helping' me cook :D
Happy this week as my mum is coming to stay (from NZ) for 10 days on Friday. :D
-
That's a lovely new avatar Astarra :D
-
Thanx Amy.
Had to smile last night, I was in bed with a migraine, hear the TM start up... DH was cooking tea!! He has used it the last few times he has cooked - bit different to just whatever he can do in the frypan or deep fryer!! ;D
-
Lucky you having such a DH Astarra. Have fun with Mum when she arrives.
-
Just come back from picking up tax paper work from the accountant to sign. Very happy with our expected tax return. Will pay a good chunk off our solar power set up :)
-
Thanks JD, I am spoilt having such a great DH. :-* Am really looking forward to seeing mum as it is over a year since I last saw her....
dede, that sounds a wonderful reason to smile and be happy! :D
My 3 girls are all playing so happily together right now, my smile is just about falling off my face! I am getting so much done! :D
-
Thats Bliss, wait till they get older... :)
-
Thats Bliss, wait till they get older... :)
Must say I'm not really looking forward to 3 teenage hormonal daughters.... :D
-
Your posts always make me smile Astarra :D
And with a mum like you, I don't think your daughters will be too bad ;)
I'm happy because I went to the sports store today a got a new pair of bathers, a new jumper, and some really cute sports gloves ;D No more blisters for me ;)
-
This is going to sound like a really strange thing to be happy about :-\
We were told today that grandpa is being kept in hospital. I'm happy about this because I know how unsteady he is, and nana wouldn't be able to help him up if he was at home and had a fall. There are also roadworks happening in their street, and since grandpa has started wandering off sometimes it could be very dangerous for him.
So I'm very happy that they are keeping him in hospital because I know he is safe there :)
-
You are right Amy, he is in the right place. My Dad was put into hospital for his last days on the pretence they needed to work on his medication but I think the doctor could see Mum wasn't coping.
-
Thanks Judy :) I feel guilty for feeling happy about it because I know how much grandpa would like to go home, especially because he misses his little dog, but I would worry so much for him and nana if he were to leave the watchful eye of his doctor.
Old age seems so unfair sometimes. I feel for your mum having to go through the same thing. It must be so difficult.
-
Amy, would the hospital mind if Grandad's dog visited? (sneak him in😉). Don't feel guilty, Grandpa and Nan are both being looked after and your family's love and support will mean so much to them.
-
Amy ask the hospital if the dog can visit. It doesn't hurt to ask.
When you are old, it is different to being young. Mother Nature has given some protection to the old (as in forgetfullnes, blindness, etc) and it doesn't hurt anyone other than those who remember to care more). Live in the moment Amy and just cherish the time. Sometimes they will be good memories and others not so good, but that is life. Nothing is guaranteed.
-
Thanks Bonsai and CP. I just assumed that the hospital would mind us taking a dog in, but I think I will ask just in case there is a chance. Missy is only a silky terrier, so even if they say no we could sneak her into mum's handbag :-)) Would I usually do that? No. For grandpa? Yes :)
CP, I guess this would is what they would call a harsh wake-up-to-reality call?
-
He is definately in the right place Amy, :) I actually logged in today to see if you had posted any updates on how he was. :)
Still thinking of you, definately good, as he will be cared for and the rest of you won't have to worry. :D
-
Thanks so much Astarra, that was really nice of you :)
You've made me happy :D
-
Gosh Amy, you are so caring, wonderful, thoughtful young Lady. :-*
Worrying about Grandpa, cooking all the meals, looking after your Mum.
such a treasure to have around..
And so fit, :-*
How is the job hunting going, did you resign from your other job..
-
Thanks Robyn (have I told you that Robyn is my mum's name too? :D)
I just do what I think is right :)
Yes, I did resign. The bully manager tried calling me four times but I just kept ignoring the phone :-)) I don't know if that was the right thing to do but I didn't want to hear what she had to say.
There was an advertisement in the local newspaper yesterday for juniour waitstaff at a local restraunt, so I'm going to take my resume there on Monday :D
-
Amy, do ask.
I used to take my huge boofy dog to a nursing home once per week. He was an englsh mastiff/great dane, 65kgs of softness.
The olds used to love our visit.
:)
-
My dog Jake (he's who my username is named after - Jake for short, Jakodai in full...) used to be a therapy dog and was allowed in nursing homes and hospitals. As long as the dog is clean and has heart worm treatment, there is no reason why he wouldn't allowed in. Oh, and well behaved of course. They can't bite and stuff like that... Jake didn't have anything else special. He didn't have a jacket or anything like that.
The olds used to love our visit.
Likewise with Jake - there were a couple of patients in the nursing home that would never talk, but once they were patting Jake they'd start telling me about their dog. It was amazing. There were also patients who didn't think Jake should be in their nursing home and would actually follow me around telling me off. I was visiting the high-dependency area of an old-age home...
-
Happy today as I saved a little orphaned lamb from starvation :) ... tho now I don't know how to care for it! :-\
-
Oh Astarra how kind of you :D
Can you give it milk? ???
-
My youngest gave me a big hug & said "thank you for the lovely dessert, you're the best cook in the WORLD". That was just for apple pies, imagine what I'd get for something really special!
-
My bike was delivered today!!! :D :D :D
-
Yay Amy, have you been for a spin yet?
-
Does it need assembling?
-
Yay Amy, have you been for a spin yet?
It was raining >:(
Going to take it out tomorrow :D
Does it need assembling?
Yes, and I am armed with a right-handed screw-driver. I don't need one of those ridiculous left-handed ones :-))
-
Yes, and I am armed with a right-handed screw-driver. I don't need one of those ridiculous left-handed ones :-))
may the force be with you
-
Thanks Michele, I think I need it ;) I've never put a bike together before :-))
The last thing I put together was a bookshelf and I nearly did it back to front :o
-
My youngest gave me a big hug & said "thank you for the lovely dessert, you're the best cook in the WORLD". That was just for apple pies, imagine what I'd get for something really special!
How sweet. :)
I am happy today as my devil of a cookbook is being delivered in 15min!! :D
-
You'll be busy reading all the recipes tonight then Astarra? :D
-
You'll be busy reading all the recipes tonight then Astarra? :D
Yep, just got the bath running so I can read them in peace!! :)
-
Careful not to splash the beautiful pictures.... :-)) :)
Do you have bubbles for your bath Astarra? :D
-
Yep, bubbles in the bath, bubbles in my glass and the book on the wooden thing that goes over the bath... not sure what it is called but it is handy for holding books, glasses, heck, even the computer out of the water... :D
-
Sounds like a luxury hotel Astarra :D
-
My bike was delivered today!!! :D :D :D
What kind of bike did you get Amy?
-
Great news Amy, are you going to show a pic..
Astarra, bubbles everywhere, sounds good. Hope you are going ok.. :-*
-
Thanks Robyn, to be honest some days are easier than others, but on the whole I think I am doing OK. :) Sometimes I think I'm on cruise control and everything is just automatic from the smile to the "I'm fine thanx", other times I really feel like I am moving forward slowly and the wounds are slowly healing. :) Thanks again for caring. :) Have to go to the hospital this arvo for a check up and to go over any results they may have found in either the blood tests from me or the tests on the bub and placenta, not sure what I want them to say.... :-\
On the up side, the 'Devil' cookbook has some delicious sounding recipes in it which living in Tas means I'll be able to get the ingred.s easily!! ;D
-
Glad your doing ok Astarra. just checking on you.. :-*
-
My bike was delivered today!!! :D :D :D
What kind of bike did you get Amy?
Um... a mountain bike? It has lots of gears... is that what you meant Dash? ;D
Great news Amy, are you going to show a pic..
I'll post a photo when it is in one piece ;)
And I'll post a photo of the helmet too, my gosh is that ugly :o
I'm glad to hear things are moving forward for you Astarra, even if it is only slow :-* :-*
-
Astarra you have been in my thought many times over the last few weeks. Especially as my sister has lost 2 babies at around the same gestation. Actually yesterday was 4 years since she lost her little girl, and 4.5 years since she lost her little boy :(
-
Same here Astarra, these things take time but it will always be with you. More hugs xxoo
-
Happy my DH is coming home tonight,,, yeah..
I lost my baby 9 years ago, it all takes time, and love.. :-*
-
How nice Robyn. What are you cooking him for dinner?
-
Spanish Mackeral tonight, chips, veges. want to find a sauce to go with it...
-
Does mackeral have a strong flavour Robyn?
-
Not really, I usually throw a spice mix on it, and grill.
My friend has a fishing boat, so we buy direct from her.
-
Thank you lovely ladies. :-*
Happy today that I have my 3 daughters... :)
-
I love it when you post on this thread Astarra :D
Say a happy hello to your girls for me :-*
-
I'm happy that Donald and Daisy duck have come to visit us again :D
-
Um... a mountain bike? It has lots of gears... is that what you meant Dash? ;D
Yes that is what I meant Amy.
-
After visiting 2 wineries, 2 breweries and a distillery in the Swan Vally this afternoon I was feeling happy. ;D
-
I bet you were Dash ;D
-
I made the most delicious American Brownie :)

Thats definitely something to be happy about suzanne ;D Well done!
-
Thanks Amy, the kids loved them for morning tea and then I warmed them up popped ice-cream on top and we had them for dessert
-
Oooooh, that sounds delicious :D
I do that with my chocolate fudge brownies ;D

LOL!! ;)
I'm so happy right now as I just found myself singing in the shower....seems a strange thing to be happy about I know, but it has been 3 weeks, before that it was just an automatic thing. :D
-
LOL Astarra, what were you singing? :D
I like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man as my shower songs ;D
-
Trying to remember what I was singing...would have been something country no doubt - oh yeah Dixie Chicks "God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way!" :D ??? :-))
-
Great Astarra :D
-
Astarra, I was so glad to read your posting that you are back to singing in the shower. Perhaps you have turned the corner now.
-
My favourite song in the shower ATM is "Moonshadow" by Cat Stevens
-
I am happy, I just had a back massage. :D
gosh I needed it..
-
A lady at curves just commented on my weight loss and my new hair cut, that made me feel happy that people are starting to noticing. I don't really know this lady.
I would love a massage.
-
Dusting cement dust off boots - sounds odd, but I am happy about 2 things.
Means the cement dust has finished and I can start cleaning up properly, and the boots - they came from Canada at the Alberta Boot Company, and it brings back lots of fun memories of our White Christmas in Alberta 6 years ago.
-
Great Jen. Isn't it a shame more people aren't more open and positive in commenting on nice things they notice about people, rather than feeling the only time to speak up to a stranger is when they want to complain about something. Keep up the good work :D
-
Well done Jen. Thats fantastic. Bet your are feeling on a high now. You will have to post a pic of the NEW Jen.
-
Jen, great about the weight loss. :)
-
When I did the shopping yesterday I saw 2 corellas squawking on the top of a nearby theatre. I love birds and this made me feel very happy and loving nature and life. Soppy isn't it? Birds and nature do that to me.
Well done Jen. Can't wait to see the new hair cut. Any chance of you coming on the retreat now there is a space?
-

Thats fantastic Jen! Your hard work is paying off :D
Well, I am very happy today too :) I did a time trial on the treadmill at my personal training session this morning, and when I finished, my personal trainer asked me, "how good are you?"
I said, "I don't know, probably not very good."
He looked genuinely shocked, and said, "I'll tell you how good you are. You're bloody good."
I said, "Are you being serious?"
And he actually laughed, and said "You have no idea how good you are."
:D :D :D
Nobody has ever said anything like that to me before.

Thanks everyone, I didnt know there was a space at the retreat, will have to have a look at the retreat thread. Could be tempted.
-
Gee Amy that is so good. You have a talent you didn't even know about.
All this talking about singing reminds me of a dream I had recently where I had to audition on one of these talent shows. (I can't sing for nuts) was really weird :D

I just burned my tongue on my cup of tea but I am still happy :D
-
OOH Amy, you are so Beautiful, at such a young age.
I wish I could scoop you up and look after you... :D
You are a a :)treasure.
You also make me so Happy....
-
Aww, thanks Robyn!! I got warm fuzzies when I read your post :D :D

I am happy today because I have finished packing and am all organised to fly to Bali tomorrow morning ;D
-
Whooo kezza!!! I would be very happy too ;D ;D ;D
-
My sister and BIL are heading home tomorrow. I will be sad to see them leave but happy to get back to normal.
-
Have a great holiday Kezza and I agree with you Dashingden, nice to get back to 'normal' even after daytime visitors ;)
-
have a wonderful holiday kezza :-* if you go up to the Ubud markets, I picked up about 500g of vanilla pods for about AUD$25. I declared them comiing through customs, and they just check if there are any little insects fallling out. Cheep cheep
-
So happy as DD offered job.... The one she wanted with training and career prospects.... Within 2 weeks of graduating.... Yipeeeeeee

I'm very happy that I got new underwear today :D No more holy knickers for me ;)

-
Absolutely! :D And its very pretty ;) ;)
-
Whoo Hoo Amy, love new underwear... :)
-

don't blame you being Happy about going to a warmer place. I'm getting withdrawals for some warmth from the sun.
-
I know Mandi. It was freezing and windy here yesterday. Looking forward to the sunshine.
-
I love that song "Walking on Sunshine." Its a very happy song I think :D
I wish I had more body parts so I could try out more of my new underwear!!! ;D ;D
-
Amy..... :D :D :D
I am Happy that I have my DH.
Yesterday he washed my car.
Today I went grocery shopping as usual, I came home to a tidy house, washing hung up, ironing done, dishes from breakfast all done, put away.
Kids on the computer playing games... ;D
-
:D :D :D
Your DH sounds wonderful Robyn :D
I am happy that the sun is shining and I saw a little bandicoot when I went riding this morning :D
Is there such thing as too many happy faces? :D
-
I'm Happy cause the sun is shining and I just finished cleaning my car while enjoying the great outdoors. Now I think I will go for a walk to the shop before the weather starts cooling off.
-
Great work Mandi :) Time to get those steps up now is it? ;D
I'm happy to be sitting here with a big plate of stir fry vegies in front of me ;) Mmmmm yummmy!
-
Sounds good to me. I couldn't walk to the shops, Our little town is 25 klm from home..
I'll walk around the paddock instead...
-
I'm happy because I've got the whole family coming for tea tonight. The roast is happily cooking away, and the whole house smells divine.
I'm sitting in the kitchen enjoying the last rays of the sun coming in through the windows.
-
OOH sounds good Merrilyn, tonight just the 4 of us for dinner, must do something special for tomorrow nite.. for 6...
-

I'm happy to be part of this wonderful forum! ;D
I looked outside today and thought of Robyn...this is why....
-
:D :D :D Astarra, our upside down photo lady. I hope you have lots of plans to use those lemons.
-
I'm happy to be part of this wonderful forum! ;D

I am happy that you are part of this forum too Astarra! :D
Mmm, look at all those lemons... lemon cookies, lemon muffins, lemon meringue pie, lemon tart, lemon and poppyseed cake.... :-)) ;D

Well I didn't get my walk in after all. I did some more gardening, then filled the wood box up, had a shower and now preparing pizza dough for dinner tonight. Might go on the exercise bike for a little while to get my steps up.
-
ASTARRA, LEMONS, LEMONS, LEMONS,
do you want some recipes....
-
We had youngest DD (who lives 13hrs away) home for the weekend. We might even get to see her next weekend because she is in Perth doing a training course for work.
It always makes me happy to have the girls home. Even if I have to cook pizza for her friends.
-
I'm happy because I have sent two assessments for my personal training course off today :D
Thats 17 down... only 9 to go ;)
-
Well done Amy. Keep at it girl ;)
-
ASTARRA, LEMONS, LEMONS, LEMONS,
do you want some recipes....
Some links to your favourites would be great thanx! :)
I'm sure my tree thinks it is breast feeding...the more lemons I take, the more it makes.... :D
-
PMSL right now following this conversation:
me: "do you need the bathroom?"
miss3: "no"
me: "are you sure?"
miss3: "no mum, cuz I have no wees left in my bladder - and no poos left in my UDDER"
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D LOL :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
ROFL ;D ;D ;D
Your girls crack me up Astarra!!!
I'm happy to finally be eating my lunch at 2:45pm. Food never looked so good :-))
-
They do come out with some crazy/interesting/weird/funny things.... :D
-
Hilarious....
Country children!
Most 3 yr olds wouldn't know or say the word udder!
Must tell DD and DH later!
-
:D :D :D :D
-
I am happy because my stepdaughters cat is going early next week. ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm guessing you never formed a bond with it Mum Mich ;D
-
Amy, I haven't laid eyes on the cat.
There's a tin of cat food in the fridge and the door is closed to the room it's supposedly in.
They might just be messing with my head?

How strange ??? I think they must be just messing with you...
Or maybe your stepdaughter has started eating cat food? :o
-

LOL Amy. My stepdaughter is 19yrs old and doesn't live with us. I hope she hasn't taken to eating the cat food in preference to my cooking. I usually cook at least 2 meals a week for her to take home.
-
Ah, okay :)
There would definitely be something wrong with her if she preferred cat food over homemade cooking :-))
-
I'am so happy today, my DGS nearly two went home last night after 5 weeks with Nanee, His mother arrived home yesterday lunchtime we went to the airport to meet her. I love him to bits but it was a lot of work for this old lady. Now I'm packing the caravan and heading off for a break....
-
Brenda I can understand that one completely. 5weeks is a very long time. Bet he was happy to see his mum too :)
-
Hi Dede, at first he pulled back and pushed her away, but after 10 seconds he realized who it was, I was walking free. He was being a real monster at the airport, anyone who saw him would have thought he was a real little s--t. and he was. normally he is quiet good.LOL
-
5 weeks, goodness me you are a super grandma Brenda :D Was he calling you Mummy?
-
I'm concerned that I could have my 2 year old nephew for several weeks if my sister has her baby early. I'm nominated as no.1 to take care of him. It will turn my life upside down. But I would do anything for my sister.
She had a scan yesterday and everything not looking so positive. She's 26 weeks. She needs to keep bub there for hopefully several weeks yet. Any sign of early labor and they will send her away to another hospital as they can't cope with babies born before 30 weeks here in Launceston. Last time she went to Adelaide for 5 weeks. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen this time. The doctors have started her on shots of steroids to strengthen the babies lungs just in case :(
-
Dede. fingers (and everything else!) crossed for you and your sister!! she's very lucky to have so much support from you . . . do hope everything goes well - for you both! :)
-
Thanks GF, we can only take one week at a time now. At 26 weeks the baby has around a 80% chance of survival, she weighs around 1.1kg which is pretty good considering my nephew was born at 30 weeks weighing 1.5kg. The bigger she is the better too. :)
-
I'm sending lots of good luck wishes your sister's way Mandi :-*
I'm very happy that we're getting rid of my brother today!! Yipppeee, I will have the bathroom to myself again, no more dried milk dregs in cups, no more smell wafting out from under the spare room door... :D
-
Bet you'll miss him soon Amy! ;)
Mandi - I sure hope everything goes well for your sister, I think about her so often. :) Please keep us updated. Sorry to hear everything not so good. Thinking of you and her. :)
-
All the best for your sister and the family Mandi. Stressful time for everyone at the moment.
Amy, it's always nice when our home goes back to 'normal'.
-
Just feeling happy as feeling a but better, totally on the end now :)
-
Bet you'll miss him soon Amy! ;)
:-)) ;D
Just feeling happy as feeling a but better, totally on the end now :)
Thats good Hally... I just hope you meant "mend" rather than "end"!!! :D
-
Hi Mandi
All the best to your sister and her baby. I can appreciate how stressful it must be for everyone in your family :)
-
Ooops yes MEND
LOL
-
Mandi, hope things are ok for your sister
-
Happy me today, have just signed my care package and been told my retreat care workers costs will not be taken out of this new contract which will mean more help available to me throughout the coming year if I need it.
-
JD fantastic news :)
-
Judy that is great news. You deserve it and more!
-
Great news Judy.
I'm happy that my 7yo still believes in the tooth fairy, and that I remembered my tooth fairy duties last night!
-
Thanks guys, we will take one day at a time. We are all hoping for a full term baby but I think the chances are slim but you never know.
I think the thing that is the most stressful for my sister is having to leave her little boy behind if she has to be sent to another hospital. Hobart is the closest hospital that can cope with prem babies before 30 weeks which is a 2 hour drive away. Fingers crossed that she doesn't get sent to Adelaide or Melbourne this time :D
-
That is good news for you Judy.
Hoping things go well for your sister dede and that she will not be sent to another hospital.
Marie
-
Great new Judy..
DeeDub tooth fairy duties are very important.
Sometimes the tooth fairy has been so busy with the baby fairys works..
-
Thats fantastic news Judy, I'm very happy for you :D
I used to love tooth fairy visits :) Until I was poking around in my mum's jewellery boxes one day and found all my old teeth :(
Mandi, one day at a time is all you can do ;) Hang in there, and remember we're all hoping for the best for your sister and you :-*
-
All the best for your sister Mandi, that must be so stressful .
-
Wonderful news Judy, I'm really happy for you. :D
-
Wonderful news Judy :)
-
I am sorry to hear the news about your sister Dede,fingers crossed that this new course of treatment will keep the baby safe for a few more weeks. :-* :-*
-
Thanks CC and everyone else. My sister is staying positive which is great. With today's technology the baby has a great chance but the longer she can grow nice and snug inside the better :)
-
I'm understanding this one is a girl, Mandi?? Apparently girls are more of fighters so that is a good thing. :) Still thinking of you and your sister. :)
-
Yes Amy a little girl, and you are right that prem girls have a slightly higher chance of survival to boys.
-
Yes Amy a little girl, and you are right that prem girls have a slightly higher chance of survival to boys.

Visited eldest DD and her new cat tonight. I am happy that she adopted a blind adult cat from an animal shelter. It means a good home for an animal that might not have found one.
-
Reading about your DD and her new cat just made me happy Dashingden. What a lovely story, it's so nice when an older pet can be adopted by a good home.
My sister adopted a cat with only one eye from a shelter this year also.
-
I have a chook with one blind eye ;D

I like it when animals find nice new homes :)
-
Both my cats were street cats we trapped. Tycho the black boy & Tangles the grey girl.
Tycho is nearly 4 & Tangles is 1. They dont get on.
>:(
-
Oh dear... not happy cats :(
-
We used to have a cat who was black and white, and one-eyed..... and we lived in Collingwood at the time! Sorry that might be a bit obscure for those who don't follow the AFL ;).
-
I am happy that I have done all my work for the day, and been shopping for birthdays.
Now I can relax for the day at work..

Jo Blo Bubbles is happy because I remembered to feed him today :D

-
Great news GHM..
Happy today as I have 2 7 year olds. My sons birthday.... ;D
-
Great news GHM - hope all goes well for you. :D
Happy birthday master Robyn!!! :D
-
Happy birthday to your DS Robyn, what has he requested for his birthday tea? My 4 yr old gs asked to go to a Mexican restaurant for his recent birthday
-
I don't know yet Judy. They both got laptops this morning, and Lego for DS.
DD birthday is in 2 weeks, so she got hers today too, then her small present on her birthday..
Nuttella on toast...or pasta..not sure.
-
I woke up this morning a little stiff but not too bad considering how many stairs I climbed yesterday. Happy to know that I won't be hobbling around and in pain like an old lady ;D (well I am an old lady compared to Amy :) )
-
CP I found a good walking track that adds about 6 flights of stairs, would have to go round and round in circles to get a high number of stairs in a day. Don't think I will ever reach 25 stairs in a day. I'm aiming for 10 a day if I can :D
-
Nuttella on toast...or pasta..not sure.
Oh yummo.... :-)) ;D

I don't believe it CP!! :D

Bite your tongue, Amy - I'm a crows fan! 😄
I'm happy that it's pouring with rain outside but NOT in my laundry since I got the roof fixed a couple of months ago.
-
Sorry deedub, but I have to go for Saints! My personal trainer is an ex-St Kilda player :-)) ;D
-
Cooked with DD tonight. We don't do it often and I always enjoy it.
-
That sounds great Dash. I bet it turned out a good meal too ;)
-
I'll be happy if my footy team win on Sunday :)
-
And who would that be cookie? :)
-
I'll be happy if my footy team win on Sunday :)
I'll be happy if mine wins tomorrow, though I'm not expecting it. :-\
Amy, Cookie goes for West Coast Eagles. :)
-
Amy, Cookie goes for West Coast Eagles. :)
Ah, thanks Julie :) I feel like I should have known that... :-))
I'm happy because I'm doing an assignment and its really interesting and enjoyable to do :D I love assignments like this!
-
Gee that must have been a bit of a shock GHM, when do you start and is it a full-time job?
Yes JD, Start next week, yes full time. I already work FT so a promotion but similar work. Took so long as there was a breach claim lodged - yes only in government! So had to be investigated. All a bit stressful but so glad it is over. Can now focus on what I am going to cook today in TMX.
-
I feel fantastic
:) :) ;D ;D

Well done Meagan, always nice to drop a size.

I'm happy because I made my mum laugh :D
-
Love this thread. Great idea!
I grinned this morning when I realised it was Saturday and I didn't have to get up right away. Love that!
-
I am happy to be home after 4 nights away.
-
There's nothing like 'home' :)
-
I'm happy because we went grocery shopping yesterday so I can have milk in my tea this morning :)
-
I'm happy because when I went to check on DS before I went to bed last night, I whispered that I loved him (because he was asleep, and I didn't want to wake him up) and he said he loved me, too. Nothing quite like an asleep 'I love you'... :-)
-
:) :) :) :) :)
-
I'm happy because I finally finished doing what I had to do with 10kg of onions ;D
-
I,m happy as DH is coming home tonight after a weekend in NZ. I've missed him.

OOOHHH Michele, enjoy him.
How was work today. I really miss my DH if he goes away for a couple of days...

I'm happy for you DFM :D
-
It was an unexpected visit (DH, will go for a rugby game - flights to Christchurch are cheap due to the rock and rolling)
His DD 83 is in poor health and needs some sorting out. He will be home in about an hour.
-
His DD 83 is in poor health and needs some sorting out. He will be home in about an hour.
Is DD an acronym for something else DFM? ??? Surely DH can't have a DD who is 83...

Yep, we aren't young Amy. DH is 53, the youngest of three sons, there is a 5yr gap between him and the next brother up. Which makes his dad only 30 yrs when he had DH. I'm 52yrs old Ames.
-
ROFL :-))
I'm so sorry DFM, I thought you meant DH had a "dear daughter" who was 83 :o
And don't be silly, of course you are young. 52 is nothing. A number. It has no definition in the dictionary that says "old" ;)

Hehehehe. No Ames we don't feel old (at least to each other).
-
52 is still young Michelle.
I keep telling myself I am getting old.. :)
-
No you're not Robyn ;)

I noticed a quote in the West Australian Weekend Magazine that is relevant to this talk of aging.
Elle McPherson said that her eysight started failing at the same time as the elasticity of her skin declined so that she looks the same to herself when she looks in a mirror. I think this may be nature way of sparing us from some of the angst of aging.
-
I saw that DD and thought how very kind of mother nature, but then it is a nasty shock when you see yourself with your glasses on.
A friend once said to me ; that we only age on the outside and the inside is only as old as we feel.
He was not speaking biologically, purely on feelings and appearance. That is why some days I am 24 and others 104.
-
I am very happy that my personal trainer is an ex-AFL player, because it means he is big, strong, has quick reflexes, and was able to get me off the treadmill pretty quick when I tripped on it this morning. So I still have knees :)
-
Glad you still have knees Amy..
-
So am I Robyn :) Things would be a bit awkward without them.
-
Goodness Amy - you have been doing youself some damage lately. :o
Hope you are ok. :)
-
Thanks Astarra :)
Its just funny that I was in the middle of telling him how I'd fallen off my bike yesterday... :-))
I'm so glad he was there though. It was very scary. I don't know how I would have got myself off the thing :-[
-
Just as well he was right there Amy! :)
-
lucky you had a big strong man to catch you... (need to practice more trips and spills hey hey ;))
-
Take care Amy.... ;)
-
Thanks ladies :)
lucky you had a big strong man to catch you... (need to practice more trips and spills hey hey ;))
Can you give me lessons CP? :-)) ;D
I have something to take my mind off my knees now though... my mum just bought me a new laptop!! :D
-
WOW, laptop is great Amy, with all your study, that should come in handy..
-
Yes Robyn, I really did need a new laptop. My old one was very dodgy and sometimes it would freeze and I would lose work :( So I am very happy for this new one :D
-
Will you use the new laptop to visit the forum? :D
-
Good you havea new laptop Ames. I only have the PC in the study.
I'm happy DH is home after his weekend in NZ, I missed him.
-
Will you use the new laptop to visit the forum? :D
Of course Mandi :D I will even take a photo of my laptop with the forum on the screen to show you ;)
Good you havea new laptop Ames. I only have the PC in the study.
I'm happy DH is home after his weekend in NZ, I missed him.
Thanks DFM, and I'm glad DFD is back at home with you ;D

I'm happy for you to have your DH back Michele! :) I hate it when mine has to go away- thankfully it is very rare. :)
-
Me too I hate it when my DH has a conference.
Happy a friend just popped in for coffee.
-
Happy a friend just popped in for coffee.
That must have been nice Robyn, friends and coffee make me happy too :D
I'm very happy that I have the most awesome personal trainer in the world ;D
And I'm also happy that even though my mum isn't a nurse like my DFM, she can still put bandages on really good ;)
-
looks like you need the bandages Amy.. :-* :-*
-
Amy are you allowed to say who the ex Saint's player is?
Have had a great (if tiring) couple of days away, but it's so nice to be home. There's nothing like your own shower and bed. ;D
-
I don't see why not Julie :) His name is Mark Greene ;D
I'm glad to hear you had a good time away, its always nice to have a short break now and again ;)
-
Thanks Amy. No I don't recognise that name. :)
-
Neither did I when I first met him Julie :-)) ;D
-
Is he cute Amy? ;) ;) ;) ;)
Happy today because the sun is shining! :D
Also happy as we are going out for dinner to BIL's place
and happy cuz DH and I went out last night child free
and cuz both our mums get along well with each other - which is apparently rare.
:D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D

Lucky, lucky you astarra. Yes it can be quite rare - the two Mums are often so totally different but throw a couple of grand-children in there amongst them and they are in seventh heaven.

I love your enthusiasm and positivity!! It makes me ;D ;D ;D

Yes we all want cute guys... :D :D :D
-

Yes, I realise I am lucky, thanx JD! :) It is surprising they get on at all as it would be hard to find 2 more different women! The only things they really have in common are our kids ...and...they both have Thermomixes!! :D
-
Now that really gives them something to talk about astarra - 2 TMX Mums is a great asset in any family. Just think of all the food the 3 of you could produce for a family get together ;)

When I first met my brother's new partner we chatted for a while and then I found out he had a TMX. The chatter was much friendlier after that. :D

Good ice breaker.
I'm very happy. I purchased my thermomix on interest free last December. I didn't want to part with $2000 all at once, which is pretty silly as I paid an establishment fee of $70 and $4.95 a month in account keeping fees. I use my slush fund to make the payments as DH wasn't quite on board with it and I didn't want to take the money out of our joint account. Yesterday he paid the balance out.
He said he can see how much I enjoy it, use it regularly and he is loving the meals. He has been to two classes as well.
-
How lovely of your DH
My happy is tonight we are going to watch our DS who is 11 sing at the Burswood as part of the mass school choir, he is doing a solo as well in front of a lot of people and I think I am more nervous than him :)
-
That's a real honour Suzanne. I just googled The Burswood. Let us know how it went.
-
Good luck to your DS Suzanne. Hope all goes well :)
-
Really happy with the hair cut I had yesterday ;D
-
Isn't it wonderful to find a hairdresser that gives a good cut.

I now what you mean Michele.She was recommended by a friend,I wish I found her years ago ;) Just need to find a good colourist now,rapidly going grey :D :D :D
-
You must be very proud of your DS suzanne, he must have a wonderful voice.
How short did you have your hair cut CC?
-
How short did you have your hair cut CC?
Chin length JD, a sort of a bob with a full fringe :o The two girlfriends I met for lunch thought it looked fabulous,boy!! I must have looked bad :D :D :D
-
A new hairdo always evokes nice comments from friends especially if you haven't changed your hairstyle for a while. Sometimes shorter hair makes us look younger too CC. When you have a colour, send me a pic please.
-
I agree with you JD,shorter hair is more flattering as you get older ;D I will get DD to take a photo on her iPhone for you ;)
-

Thats really special suzanne! Good luck to DS :D
Really happy with the hair cut I had yesterday ;D
Thanks for reminding me I need a hair cut CC ;) I'm glad you got a good one, they seem to be hard to come by these days ???
I'm very happy that I finally have a heater for my room!! I have been freezing my tootsies off sitting here in the morning and evenings, but not any more! :D
Also happy that another job has come up which I can apply for :)
-
Good luck with applying for the new job Amy.
Glad you are nice and warm now in your room :)
-
Thanks Mandi :D
My (now warm) fingers and tootsies are crossed for the job ;)
-
I had gloves on this morning to peg my clothes on the line as the pegs were froze from the big frost :)
-
Good luck with the job application Amy.
-
Talking about hair cuts I really would love a change, I have always had medium long hair but I wear it up all the time cause I can't stand hair in my face. I have always been to scared to have it completely chopped off. But I can't have long hair for ever. One day I will be brave enough to have it chopped off :)
-
Maybe you could try on some wigs in shorter styles to what would suit you dede.
-
I had my medium long hair cut 2 months ago. i love it. Just to my shoulders now.... :)
-
Good luck with the job application Amy.
Thanks DFM :-*
Mandi, a change is always nice :) I'm not obsessed with my hair like some teenagers are, so I like a low-maintenance cut, which usually means shortish. In saying that though, I haven't done much with my hair since I shaved it off in 2010, so its getting a bit longer than I'm used to :-))
-
I chopped mine off 4 weeks ago, it took a while to get used too, but I love it. It is so easy, blast the hairdryer 2 mins the use product, done, always looks good :)
-
Its great isn't it Hally? I didn't even have to worry about hair-drying or products for a few months because it was so short ;D
I did get called some horrible names at school though :(
But it was worth it :)
Of course, I'm not suggesting that Mandi shaves her hair right off, but it is very liberating ;D
-
Summer in the pool, easy. I am always saying to ds, dont splash me as I dontwant my hair to get wet etc. now I can just jump in & wont care.
The other thing you wake up in the mornings your late, wash hair, no extra time etc.
:)
-
DS must love it when his mum has short hair then Hally ;)
-
My hair has quiet a bit of grey in it now, I have given up on dying it, would love to have it really short but just not sure if it will suit me.
-
Hair length - mine is waist length, the few times I've thought about getting it shorter, DH has said "well whatever, it's your hair but I love it long." & I love it when he brushes it for me, too - he does the best head massages beforehand!!! :) That is always enough to make me happy!!! :D
-
I got fed up with drying & using straightening irons. My hair is fine & oily so needs to becwashed daily.
Dede ask your hairdresser.
:)
-
Hair dresser? What hair dresser? I haven't had my hair cut for 18 months by a hairdresser, last hair cut was a few weeks ago when I cut my own hair :o
Maybe it's time I ventured in and seen the local hairdresser and ask about some advise on what to do with my thick black and grey hair.
-
Yes go & treat yourself, you have been doing well on the food budget, so give yourself a treat. You will feel so much better after :)
-
Yes, do treat yourself, you've lost weight and deserve a non food reward.
-
Nothing better than 3hrs at the hairdressers 'kid free'
Thanks so much ladies DS did wonderful last night and to be honest I never realised how lovely his voice is, all his teachers over the years have commented but I thought they were just being nice :-))
Anyway my happy for today i finally finished cleaning out my pantry and now it is spotless, I threw out so many out of date things it wasn't funny and now I can see what I do and don't have, I also donated my old recipe magazines to the good sam's they give them to school's etc, so all in all about 12 bags of stuff gone
-
That sounds good, suzanne. You must be so proud of your DS! :)
I'm really happy today as Miss18mths has been in pants for a few weeks, but yesterday and today we have had NO accidents!! :D - Yay!!
-
Glad the concert went well for DS suzanne. Doesn't it feel good after a clean and sort.
-
Thanks very proud and yes I don't do well with mess/clutter everything has to have a spot or it doesn't belong in my house , I try and teach my kids messy room, messy mind. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but that's parenting for you
-
Astarra, yeah the toilet training days. good for no accidents though. :)
-
That sounds good, suzanne. You must be so proud of your DS! :)
I'm really happy today as Miss18mths has been in pants for a few weeks, but yesterday and today we have had NO accidents!! :D - Yay!!
She is doing very well considering the chilly weather. So much easier once they are water tight.
-
I'm glad you got to hear your DS sing suzanne - especially to discover he has such a great voice.
Astarra, only 18 months old and doing so well with her toilet training.
-
I love coming on here and reading everyone's happy things :D
I'm still on a major happy high from breaking that record in my workout this morning :D And I still can't believe I did it :o
-
Very proud of you Amy. I'm sure (although I may be biased) that you have broken male records too.
You didn't just do well as a girl, you did well as a gym memeber. ;D ;D ;D
-
Thanks DFM :D :D :D My trainer said he only has five other clients who could do what I did, and they are all blokes ;)
So you're not biased at all ;D
I keep remembering his face when he saw how many calories I was burning ;D Such a good feeling!!!
-
It sounds as if you really push yourself Amy, doesn't that leave you exhausted at the end of your session?
-
It certainly does Judy, but thats what I want :) I do have a very quick recovery time though, so I can do a really hard workout on one machine and then have my heart rate back to normal within 5 minutes. I think today was probably my biggest session yet because it took a bit longer to get my heart rate down after that hour on the x-trainer. I think I had about a 10 minute rest before I moved onto my weights. And then I did another 30 minutes of cardio just to get my heart rate up again.
I love exercising :D
-
I spent the afternoon with DD9.
We went for a walk down to the beach.
Watched the waves crash against the rocks and saw the sun slowly setting behind the thick grey clouds.
Miss 9 said "thanks mum for making me come for a walk with you. I am really enjoying our time together"
This has been one of the best afternoons I have had.
Thank you Miss 9.

Sun shining again (for the moment) better get my butt moving and put clothes on the line while it lasts :)

Isn't it nice to know our children do actually appreciate some bonding time with their parents Rara. What a thrill to have heard Miss 9 say that to you.
-
That is so sweet Rara! :-*

DD24 (who lives here in Perth) and DS20 (who lives in Melb) have flown into Sydney this morning to spend the weekend with DD22 and catch up. When DD24 was telling her workmates yesterday a few were surprised that they were so close, have fun together, and keep in touch all the time - they said "Wow your parents must be really proud that you all get along so well"...and that made me smile cos it hit home that we are lucky in that respect and just take it for granted most of the time. Family is so important.
-
Oh Cream Puff that would make any parent So Proud.
Fantastic that they are so close.
That just gave me goose bumps... :)
-
Yes, you are a lucky family CP - can't wait to meet you.

It's lovely when your children get along. You have obviously done a wonderful job in bringing them up CP.

I'm Happy cause we now have 2 chooks laying eggs :D, just think how happy I will be when all 4 are laying ;D
-
Wow CP, thats great! :D I wish my brother and I got on that well :-))
Mandi, will there be enough eggs for all of you even when all 4 chooks are laying? ;D
-
Usually do when I'm getting 4 eggs a day, we don't eat eggs everyday so they build up quickly (a dozen eggs every 3 days)
I have been buying eggs at the moment as I'm not getting enough to do us.
-
Chooks have such easy lives. You'd think they show some gratitude by laying a few more eggs :-))
-
leaner, longer, taller, stronger. How I love the feeling after a reformer Pilates class 😄😄😄😄
-
I know what you mean GHM ;)
-
We get 6-7eggs a day, more than what we need....
I love the giving to neighbors thing...
They really appreciate it.
-
Sharing is caring :D
I love that saying :)
-
My chooks have just started to crank up laying again. After weeks of one egg a day and sometimes none, today there were three.
My DD25 said goodbye to us this morning after spending 3 weeks in Perth for training with her job she left at 4:30 this morning to drive back to Newman. I was very happy when she call this afternoon to say she was there safely.
Enjoyed a morning with DD27. It was her birthday yesterday and we took her shopping for a display cupboard for her new house. Then we spent some time making Rara's cherry bites and some cheese and rosemary biscuits for her party tomorrow. I am happy to see her cooking more. Before we bought her a TM (which I also ge to use when we visit) she only ever cooked from packets. Now I just have to teach her about quality ingredients. She keeps buying Homebrand everything because it is cheap.
-
You sound like a great dad Dash :D
-
You sound like a great dad Dash :D
I think so also, well done :-*
-
I'm not happy because it's raining very heavy and we have to do the paper run shortly :(
Sorry I know this is the happy thread, but didn't know where else to write it :D
-
Lol thats okay Mandi. Nobody is happy all the time. Maybe we should have another thread called "I'm unhappy about this and just want to tell someone." :)
I'm happy because Jo Blo is still alive after the drastic clean I gave his tank yesterday...he must be a teenage fish, there was dirt and muck everywhere :-)) Not anymore though, I'll be darned if any fish of mine is going to live in a pigsty :D
-
Perhaps just change the title of this one to The Happy/Unhappy Thread Amy. ;)
-
That's an idea too Judy ;)
I'm happy that I went on my bike ride this morning and didn't fall off!! :D
-
I am Happy my DH cleaned the kids rooms, and the house, and hung up all the washing, while i went grocery shopping ..
:) :) My DH does so much for me...
-
Happy but a little nervous about starting my new job tomorrow. buying my TMX was my reward to myself for gettig
-
Oops hit send too soon......TMX was reward for getting job ( promotion and permanency) so I have had TM for 6 weeks, now to start the job!
-
How exciting GHM! Best of luck with your first day tomorrow :D :D
TMX was a great idea of a reward too ;)
I am Happy my DH cleaned the kids rooms, and the house, and hung up all the washing, while i went grocery shopping ..
:) :) My DH does so much for me...
I like your DH and I've never even met him Robyn! :D But shouldn't the kids be cleaning their own rooms? :-))
-
All the best for the new position GHM. It's a bit nerve racking the first weeks of a new job.
-
That's an idea too Judy ;)
I'm happy that I went on my bike ride this morning and didn't fall off!! :D
Its always good to not fall off your bike Amy. How are the knees?
-
The knees are still very painful Dash :( They keep trying to scab over but when I bend my knees it cracks the skin again. There is a lot of dried blood around them but I'm too scared to try and wash it off. They're very tender to touch. The bruises are very impressive colours too :-)) But I can see they are healing slowly ;)
Thanks for asking Dash :)
-
I hope you are OK Amy, do you have Anica Cream. Its good for bruises... :-*
My DH does so much around the house, I love him... So Happy.... :D :D
-
I hope you are OK Amy, do you have Anica Cream. Its good for bruises... :-*
We do have some of that cream somewhere Robyn. Is it safe to put around open wounds though?
I hope I will be as happy as you when I eventually get married Robyn :D :D :D
-
I think so Amy, I use it on clients, for my massage..
great for bruising on skin... :)
-
I hope I will be as happy as you when I eventually get married Robyn :D :D :D
The trick is to make sure you know what you want and don't accept less.
-
Agree Dash, and don't get married too young.
So many of my friends are now divorcing after 15-20 years. ???
I am still so Happy.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I think so Amy, I use it on clients, for my massage..
great for bruising on skin... :)
I'll have a look for it then, thanks Robyn :-*
I hope I will be as happy as you when I eventually get married Robyn :D :D :D
The trick is to make sure you know what you want and don't accept less.
That sounds like good advice, thanks Dash ;D
And don't worry Robyn, I have no plans to get married just yet ;)
-
Agree Dash, and don't get married too young.
So many of my friends are now divorcing after 15-20 years. ???
I am still so Happy.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
I was 22 and DW was 21 when we got married. That was 29 years ago. :)
-
I was 19 yrs old when I got married.
-
Wow DFM, how did you afford a wedding when you were so young?
29 years... does it feel like a long time Dash?
-
First time so was I Michele - I'm surprised the first marriage lasted almost 20 years when I look back on it.
Second time I was 41.
-
Amy sometimes it feels like forever and other times it feels like yesterday.
-
I hope I will be as happy as you when I eventually get married Robyn :D :D :D
The trick is to make sure you know what you want and don't accept less.
Totally agree - I was just 22 DH was 25 when we got married, best thing I ever did was marry him! :D He's seriously the best!! And we're still in love! :-* :-* ! People comment on how happy we must be together because our kids are so happy! :)
-
Wow DFM, how did you afford a wedding when you were so young?
29 years... does it feel like a long time Dash?
Well we got married in Church and had the reception at Araluen, a very trendy (at the time) reception centre at Ryde, my parents paid.
The reception cost $2,000, a lot of money 32 yrs ago and the grooms parents only paid for the cars and the alcohol in those days and LOL as we had a "dry" reception.
Second time round 49yrs old and cost about $700.
-
Amy sometimes it feels like forever and other times it feels like yesterday.
I can relate to that feeling, but not in terms of being married :-)) And especially for so long! I can't imagine what it must feel like to have been alive for 29 years, let alone married ;D
Astarra, it sounds like your family is as close to perfect as they come :-*
DFM, it sounds rude to me that the groom's parents paid for so little :-\
-
Amy the brides family always used to foot the bill for the wedding. The grooms family usually only paid for the alcohol. In a way I guess it was sort of like a dowry.
I think that is probably how the tradition started.
-
Ah... that just shows how little I know about weddings!
-
DFD, DD is right. 32 years ago that's how it was, not rude at all. When DD 25yrs married 3 yrs ago, her DH's parents paid for half the reception. Different times now.
-
Wow... isn't is amazing how things change?
-
I'm happy because my friend came and helped me make my goodie bags for the retreat, I am so happy with them, just hope everyone likes them. :)
-
Oooh, Jen, you've got me excited and intrigued ;D ;D
-
Do you want me to give you a hint Amy?
What they are. Lol
-
Happy that I finally found some 2 inch nails and hung up all my brooms and mops in a cupboard high on the wall and cleared out cupboard under stairs to make room for my soaping stuff.
The shoe polish, ironing board and vax vacuum are now much easier to get at. The under stair cupboard is - as they usually are - not the greatest for storage and to keep tidy. I could really do with better shelving.... But as this is not our own house it won't happen.
Funny what makes us happy isn't it.
-
Do you want me to give you a hint Amy?
What they are. Lol
Lol ;D
We can't go spoiling surprises... I'll just have bite my knuckles and wait in anticipation :-))
-
Smiling right now as Miss 18mths has just decided to do the vacuuming for me, and she is trying so hard to push the thing along, looks so funny!! :D
-
How sweet of Miss 18mths!!! :D :D
I am happy that my blood test is over. Also happy about my PT session, but I'm always happy about those :)
-
I'm glad that DH and I sat down and did our budget for the new financial year (we are a bit late).
It just amazes me that the more paperless we go the more paper I seem to have ???
-
Budget? What's that? I just spend until it is all gone. :o
-
Budget? What's that? I just spend until it is all gone. :o
DD, I'm just trying to get beyond all the paper.
-
Sounds like you've been busy Michelle. It's definitely not a paperless world.
We have a spreadsheet for our budget and another spreadsheet for our actual spend.
The system breaks down though as we never compare actual to budget :-))
-
If I thought about it I think you could make a chart that would grab the data from the budget and actual spread sheets and compare them.
However it would just be easier to get the budget app for Ipad which will track all of that for you.
-
Each day that goes past, I am getting happier and happier. I am finding on a personal level the less I focus on becoming more consumer orientated (we are not starving so food is not an issue) and concentrating on the positives in my life, laughing at every opportunity (but not just for laughing sake - those people send me off the deep end) steering clear of negative people who sweat the small stuff and have obvious issues they don't see as their own, and putting family first - the happier I am. If I could look at life the way a cat does, then I would have "The Secret to a Happy Life" and this would be the end of this topic.
-
Lol CP, I know what you mean about cats. Our two have the best life lazing about, sleeping most of the day, food on demand, doors opened for them when ever they want. What a wonderful life.
My DH often says he's coming back as a cat in his next life :D
-
CreamPuff, you just made my Day, Thankyou. :)
I try to be around positive people, try and not let my emotions be affected by others crap.
While also trying to bring up 2 kids. A cat does have it good.. :)
-
Great outlook on life CP!
-
Way to go CP, negative people around you is depressing and drags you down too. Surrounding yourself with happy people is the way to go and laughing is one of life's greatest pleasures.
-
I'm Happy as my sister just had another scan, nothing has changes since her last visit. Another scan in 2 weeks. Yay. She's now 28 weeks. In 2 weeks and 3 days would be the same stage as her DS was born. :D
-
That's great news Dede
-
Yay dede - hope the little lady stays put for longer still. :-* So glad to hear everything is going well. :)
-
I'm really happy for you and your sister Mandi :D
-
Great news Mandi :)
-
Bugger bugger bugger, I spoke to soon about my sister going well. Dr reviewed the scan and decided that things have changed and baby might be here sooner rather than later :(
They admitting her to hospital tonight and will do another scan Friday and maybe send her off to Hobart hospital. :(
But we still staying positive and hope for a few more weeks yet.
-
Oh Mandi. :'( Hope all goes well.
Will you have her little boy??
-
Not sure yet Astarra, will have to wait and see, I think her DH will take some time off work to take care of him. But if she gets sent to Hobart her DH will go with her and I will have my Nephew stay here. We can only take day by day at the moment.
The good thing is that the baby should be fine if she was born today.
-
Yes that is good, I guess the docs will have to decide if she is better off out or in at this stage?
Really hope all goes well. How is your sister in herself?
-
She's pretty upset, I thing more so she doesn't want to leave her little boy behind. She begged for bed rest at home, but the doctor said no. They were going to send her to Hobart tomorrow but she bided some time to wait till Friday.
She has been through all this before so she has a good idea on what to expect, but still doesn't make it any easier.
-
Oh and the baby is around 1.3kg now, which is pretty good. Her little fella was 1.5kg at 30 weeks 5days.
-
Hope it all goes well dede and your sister can hang on as long as possible.
-
Thinking of you and your sister Mandi :-*
-
Hope the little lass hangs on for a bit longer to give her a better start to life Mandi - fingers crossed for your sister.
-
Thanks everyone. We hoping all is fine.
By the way it's almost 6.30pm and I just remembered that it's mine and my DHs 13th Wedding anniversary :o
Oops neither DH or myself remembered until he walked inside and seen the Pork roast for Dinner tonight and said that he's going to Marry me lol

Must be still good after 13 years together then... ;)
-
You've had more on your mind today Mandi - enjoy your lovely roast and Happy Anniversary to you and DH.
-
Thanks Judy, don't think I can use my sister as an excuse for not remembering though as I didn't find out about her news until 3pm.
Oh well at least I remembered today and not tomorrow :)
-
Best of luck dede - I was very lucky with DS and I didn't have any complications. Well, not until labour, anyway. I can only imagine who distressing it would be for mum...
I'm happy because DS decided on a cake that he likes last night. We're going with a 'Curious George' cake, so now I can start planning and making! I'm very excited!
This is what I'm aiming for:
(http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/215328425903136323_us1rD54H_f.jpg)
I know it's a little over the top for a 3rd birthday, but I think it's more for me than for him. I know of people who pay for cakes (I was at a birthday party on the week-end for a 2 year old and his mum had paid a lot of money for his cake) and I would never do that. DS is only getting this becuase I want to make it. It also creates a great them for monkey-themed food as well. I'm also going to TRY to make monkey cake pop's.
(http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/209980401346720784_J9F3hczn_f.jpg).
I'm very excited about it - can you tell?
-
They are gorgeous jakodai! :)
-
Dede - you should have thought quickly and got defensive, like 'I KNEW you'd forget!!' ;-)
-
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product jakodai, when is DSs birthday?
-
I think so, Astarra! Nice & bright, too. I really liked that cake, because the George on top of the cake is a cake topper that I can buy. I don't think I'm up to making a fondant cake topper just yet. Maybe next year...
-
Dede - you should have thought quickly and got defensive, like 'I KNEW you'd forget!!' ;-)
Lol, never thought of that. Bugger too late now :(
-
Not until October, but I'm starting to think & organise things now. I'm going to have his party at Mum & Dad's place, as I don't have a backyard and not much space inside, and they have a beautiful outdoor area with a big 'outdoor kitchen' that we can cook on, and there's heating if we need it. It's much nicer for entertaining. I have to be organised, because I'm going to have to take everything with me and make it there - I'm going to stay there for the week-end. It will be thermomix's first trip. Actually, second. The first trip was home from my parents house where the delivery demo was... lol
-
Jakodai, cant wait to see your finished cake, outstanding :)
-
Amanda, that cake and those cake pops are amazing :o Good luck making them!!! I can't wait to see your replication ;)
-
Thanks!! I'm a little nervous. But I'm normally good at copying things. I'm not very imaginative, but I can make good copies of htings. Hopefully that stands for cake making... :-S
I'm especially excited, because I get to buy the cake decorating goodies that I've wanted for ages but had no need for. The Wilton Cake Decorating caddy is only $48 from Amazon, and $20 postage, so still cheaper than the >$120 in Aus. And there's a few other things I'm going to buy as well, like the large fondant rolling pin, and the Wilton mat which has the circle measurements and stuff on it (I don't NEED this, but it's only an extra $8 to the Amazon order, so I may as well...). I love having an excuse to shop.
And no, the fact that I'm going to be spending more on the cake decorating equipment than on a professionally made cake isn't lost on me, but it is something that I've been attempting to do for a long time, and I have a very strong interest in it, so I'd like to think that I'll be using them a lot
-
You might become a prefessional Amamda ;) ;) ;)

Lol, very unlikely! It would be pretty cool, though...
-
some of the pics I have seen on this website are very professional - you are in good company ;)
-
Wooohoooooooo ;D good result for weigh day despite being sick and not exercising! Happy days.....
-
Great news Megan
-
Well done Meagan, you must have balanced out your energy intake ;) ;)
-
Well done Meagan, that's great news :)
-
Excellent Meagan - you must feel so good! :)
-
Thanks ladies ;D I have been watching my food intake very carefully. Having herbal tea to fend of cravings and having minimal pasta and rice!
-
some of the pics I have seen on this website are very professional - you are in good company ;)
So true - I've seen some pretty amazing cakes on here.
Congratulations Meagan - it's fantastic when the hard work pays off!
-
I'm happy because my mum braided my hair last night and it looks really nice :D
And while she was doing it, she told me some old family stories. Some of them were sad, but it was nice to hear them and learn more about my family history :)
-
My girls love when I braid their hair. I had to wait for years for them to have long enough hair for me to braid it. They were both born bald and took 3 years Before they had much at all :)
-
That's lovely Amy. Now write down as many stories as you can remember and keep them safe. One day you will be the keeper of all those memories.
I wish I had kept a record of the stories from my mum and MIL. Now they are gone and I can't ask any more.

Its been quite a while since I could do anything like this with my hair either Mandi. I shaved it off to raise money for the Leukamia Foundation a couple of years ago, and I'm starting to play with it a bit more now that its a good length :)

I will Merrilyn, but I won't forget these stories. They have been swimming around my head all night.
I think I wil buy a nice journal to write them in :)
-
I am tearfully happy. I was listening to the radio and the Channel 7 helicopter had spotted one of 3 fisherman off the coast at Leeman who has been missing. They were describing how he was just managing to keep afloat and they had driven a shark off that was circling him. They directed a rescue boat to him and the poor man didn't even have the strength to climb aboard. It was heart wrenching actually listening to it happening. He kept waving at them but didn't realise they couldn't winch him up. I was listening with baited breath, hoping he wouldn't go under before the boat got to him. When they got him onboard he just collapsed on the boat. They have found one more and I do so hope they find the other one.
It was so very emotional listening to it actually happen. I've just heard that one is seriously injured and the other is in need of medical attention. No mention of the third yet.
Not quite so happy now, one has died, still looking for the third.
-
Hope they find the 3rd too Cookie.
Happy today as Miss 5 badley wanted to go to breakfast club (a breakfast at school, they do it once a week, free.) so this week I let her go, well the darling child told me this morning she didn't want to go again " cuz you make way yummerer breakfasts." :D
-
Oh cookie, what a blessing for that man and his family. I really hope they find the third man.
Astarra, I love hearing about your girls, they are gorgeous :D :D
I am very happy today because I got a letter from my 9-year-old sponsor child in India. She is a beautiful young girl and I'm so happy that she writes to me and tells me what she's doing :) :) :)
-
How cute Amy - have you been sponsering her for long? :)
-
Two years now :D
-
I'm happy cause my Sister is allowed to stay home on bed rest :D
Will mean I have my nephew several days a week, but she has also organized childcare so I will be able to continue working from home without to much disruption. Fingers crossed now for a few more weeks (almost 29 weeks now)
-
I have my toes crossed for her too Mandi ;)
-
She feels fine, and baby is growing beautifully, she looks well and is being positive. So we are all pretty confident that things will be fine.
-
This is going to be a very special baby :D
-
Yep she is, my little nephew is a special baby too, he was born 10 weeks early and had lots of trouble breathing, got meningitis, pneumonia and a staf infection, he then got a hernia and had to have an op to fix that all before he was even supposed to be born. But he's now a very active 2.5 year old who loves his dede :) (But I can't blame him) ;D
-
Awesome news dede - have been lurking the forum waiting for news of her! :)
-
Next scan on Tuesday. But we can only take day by day. And I'm on standby ready to go when needed.
-
Good news so far about your sister Dede. :)
-
I have my fingers crossed for her too Mandi. Hope she stays well and bub stays put a bit longer.
-
Yesterday one of the mums commented on my weight, saying i had lost some :-* and today we are moving house ;D happy days!
-
Cookie1 - I'm with you, tears and baited breath. Watching that brought back memories of doing a search and rescue out of Cairns many years ago. We flew out to the boat and nothing we could do but wave and hope the army choper got there in time for them. Also my Dad, Uncle and a friend had their boat tip over years ago down south. They spent the night on the hull, with 1 man dead and sharks circling. Makes me sick just thinking about it again now. I feel for that man and his family.
I have not heard any news this morning, so don't know what has happenend overnight.
-
Sorry I've just realised this is the Happy Thread and mine was none of that!
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts...
I have a family of blue wrens in my garden and the gorgeous daddy comes and sings to me on the windowsill - showing of his stunning feathers. I tell him he is very handsome and he flits back and forth between the window sill and his harem of girls! Any wonder I don't get much done in my office - I watch him half the day!
-
No worries Nikkit ;) I do love your story about the blue wrens. It reminds me of the blue wren that used to live near my grandparent's property, and it used to come right onto their patio and take little crumbs of cheese from grandpa's hand if he were sitting very still :D
Yesterday one of the mums commented on my weight, saying i had lost some :-* and today we are moving house ;D happy days!
Thats great Meagan!! Always nice to have your weight loss acknowledged ;D ;D ;D
-
There must be some happies out there ;D ;D
I'm happy, it is raining...well trying to, but any driplets from the sky is good.
-
I'm happy Nikkit :D I went for a 2 hour bike ride in the cold rain this morning and then had a FANTASTIC hot shower when I got home, that made me really happy ;D ;D
Now I'm going gonging ;D
-
Great news about your sister Mandi.
Happy that I can relax today, and start cooking again soon..after yesterdays party
-
Yay Amy!
Errr...may I ask what is gonging? The last time I heard/saw that term used it was an email with Chinese men with gong attached to their you - know - whats and they were swinging them...had something to do with strength and length...
Yep - way too much info sorry!
-
ROFL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The gonging... oh dear me, it was actually quite horrible :(
There were eight of us in the session, and you lie on these matresses in a domed room with stars on the ceiling. They give you a scarf infused with some sort of oil, which you breathe in. Then you lie back and close your eyes (like meditation) and a lady bangs this big gong which hangs in the middle of the room. Then she gets a smaller one a brings it around to gong over everyone, so you feel the vibrations. She did some weird chanting as well.
But I'm never doing it again. The oil made me feel physically sick, like I was going to throw up, and I was so dizzy afterwards that I nearly passed out. I had to stagger straight to the toilets as soon as the session was over.
Dunno why that happened to me, everyone else was really relaxed and calm and apparently feeling fantastic ???
But to turn it into a happy story, I'm glad I know never to do it again ;)
-
perhaps your ying or yang is "out" or something of this nature
-
I don't really understand the ying yang thing CP :-))
-
I'm happy as the little orphan lamb is still alive this morning and doing well.
-
Amy, that sounds very weird but each to his own.
That's good news. How is your sister going?
-
Going ok Michelle, 29 weeks and 1 day today. She looked a bit drained yesterday though. She will be pretty bored from today onwards as her little boy will be away either with me or child care 5 days a week. She can't do anything so will be very boring.
-
Your sister will have get a few good books to read and rent out some movies.
-
She is also making a blanket for the baby, not much else she can do, she can't even use her TM :(
-
Amy, that did not sound like a fun way to relax!
I feel the same way about excercise, makes me feel pretty crook, so tend to not do it ;D ;D
-
Amy, that sounds very weird but each to his own.
Very weird indeed DFM. There are lots of people who rave about how good it is, don't know why though ???
Mandi, I'm glad to hear both your sister and the lamb are doing well :D
I feel the same way about excercise, makes me feel pretty crook, so tend to not do it ;D ;D
LOL ;D ;D
-
Mandi good news about you sister.
Amy I've never heard if gonging, but it doesn't sound very appealing!
I'm happy today as I have a week off work. I love being at home.
-
Enjoy your week off Katie. It is nice to spend time at home.
What are you going to get up to?
-
Mainly I'm spending my week off hauling things out of our storage shed. There are so many boxes!
As if the storage shed wasn't a large enough task, I've also decided to clean out all the kitchen, laundry and my personal cupboards at the same time (DH cupboards are his responsibility :)). I started last Friday and have been working non stop so far. Three car loads to the charity shops and one car load to my MIL and SIL's. Our front courtyard looks like a second hand store at the moment. It's still a work-in-progress :)
On Friday I sliced the top of my finger off, today I've banged my head so hard I saw stars and I've also falling flat on my bottom! I think I need to be a bit more careful :)
I also hope to get in some cooking and relaxing, maybe.
-
Enjoy your weeks holiday Katie.I find it very rewarding doing jobs that you have dreaded doing ;) It's amazing what you find in cupboards :o :o
-
I am happy to be home again and to cook with my thermie again. Last night I made tuna loaf with rocket pesto, coleslaw, three different breads, creamy cashew mayo, lemon muffins and weetbix slice. Bliss :) Now I have to catch up on a few hundred pages of posts :D

You've certainly taken on a lot. Doesn't it feel good to get rid of the excess.
-
I am happy, my back got crunched in today.
6 vertebra out again for the last week. ouch
all better now.. :)

Love reading everyones happy things on this thread - happy we have it!! :D
-
I'm happy for this rain we have been having the last couple of days. We certainly need it. Soon it will be summer and we will be wishing we had more. Sure, it limits what we can do but for the time being its nice and cosy looking from the inside out.
-
I'm happy my mum rang to say she won a trip any where in Australia, it's her first holiday in 23 years, bit worried about her travel so far, as she has Parkinson's and is 84. But will be good to have her here for awhile.
-

Oh how nice, jeninwa. :)
-
Wow! that is fantastic jen ;D
-
Wow how lucky to win a holiday
-
Jen that is really wonderful. My Mum had Parkinson's. It's not much fun. Make sure she tells the hostie's on the plane before she travels and they will look after her. That's what we did for Mum and she was helped on board and off and thoroughly spoiled on the trip. I'm very happy for you.
-
Jen, thats great news. How lovely for your mum :D
Love reading everyones happy things on this thread - happy we have it!! :D
I'll second that Astarra! ;D ;D ;D
-
Surely she is allowed to take someone with her Jen, can you spare the time?
-
Great Jen
-
I'm Happy that my solar panels are being installed next week :D
When I ordered them they told me 10-12 weeks, but it will only be 8. So pretty happy with that.
-
Surely she is allowed to take someone with her Jen, can you spare the time?
She is coming to visit me in Perth from Tasmania.
She won the trip through meals on wheels, they know she will need a wheel chair to get on and off the planes, as she has trouble with stairs. She told them she want to travel qantas.
-
I hope your Mum has a wonderful time with you Jen :)
-
I have just been going through some old photos which brought back some happy memories :D I love looking at old photos.
I found photos of some old birthday cakes which I am going to post on the Celebration Cakes thread :)
-
How lovely for you both Jen.
-
SOOOOOOOO happy with my new job, its amazing, I love it so much :D :D :D :D
-
I'm getting really happy cos the Friends Retreat weekend is drawing closer -- everything is going to fall into place and the weather is going to be superb. Just finished organising my goody bag thingy and will organise my bus tour costume on the weekend. I am really looking forward to giving my gift. Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you tick a box? I have a few boxs to tick but am happy to tick one at a time.
-
I'm Happy because I received a lovely certificate from CanTeen (kids cancer) for donating framing for a fundraiser. :)
Will frame it and hang it in the shop.
-
Thats lovely Mandi, CanTeen is a very worthy cause :D
-
I'm happy that we have 1 well person in our house.... :-\
-
I am happy that I have parking in front of my shop now...The council listened to me. Yeah :) :)
-
That's good Robyn.
I am happy that it's Friday and that my mum is visiting on Sunday :)
-
I'm happy because I have organised a new internet provider and can get rid of my current one as soon as I receive all the gear in the mail to install it, probably after I return from the retreat.
-
I am happy as my youngest DD just invited me out for lunch to a local beachside hotel. :) just waiting for her coming to pick me up now :)
-
I am happy that I have had a productive day framing :D
And it's Friday (the day before Saturday) :D
-
Oooh, lots of happy today :)
Well done Astarra on finding the happy in your situation! I hope you are all well again soon :-*
I am happy that I am working again tonight ;D
Also happy that a fellow client at PT this morning told me that I am their role model :o
-
Thanx Amy...wishing the well person was me! But with 1 well child at least she is easier to care for (tho harder to keep quiet when the others are wanting to sleep!! ;)
Also happy it is Friday!! :D
-
I'm happy that I have only 6 more sleeps until W.A.
-
I am happy that my goodie bag item is going to be ready tomorrow for pick up instead of Monday arvo ;D
-
I'm happy that my retreat jobs are coming together, the sun is shining and all is well in my part of the world.
-
I'm happy it's Friday, and finish work in a hour or so.
I'm also happy I haven't coughed in the last half hour. So over coughing.
-
I'm happy that I have only 6 more sleeps until W.A.
:D :D :D
-
Not long now Ames. I"m really looking forward to meeting you. :) :)
-
Me too me too me too!!! ;D
-
How many times can I say how happy I am about my new job? ;D
My boss told me he was very proud of me tonight. He said he had expected me to learn fast, but not this fast ;) ;) ;)
Soooooo so so happy right now :D
-
That's pretty obvious Amy lol :D
I'm so glad your enjoying your new job.
-
That's Great Amy
I'm happy because our new cabana is nearly finished, so our eldest DD who is 20 will sleep in there and then everyone can have their own room, bed time should be more peaceful
Another happy DD is of on a European Adventure in 3wks for a whole month, slightly nervous but so excited for her
-
I'm happy at the moment because DH made me laugh. There were some young people walking around he street being very noisy and stupid, DH snuck up the drive way with his whip and cracked it a couple of times :o, scared the crap out of the kids and they are gone now :D
Not sure who is the biggest kid.
-
ROFL Mandi ;D ;D ;D
Thanks girls :-*
Suzanne, a cabana? ???
-
It's a room next to the pool with an ensuite and a kitchenette not sure why it's called a cabana that's what the people who designed and built it called it :)
-
I'd love to have seen the kids scatter Mandi, it would have sounded like a gun LOL
Love the sound of the cabana Suzanne, lucky DS.
-
Oooh, the cabana sounds awesome Suzanne ;D ;D
-
Glad to hear that you are happy with your new job Amy. Loving what you do certainly makes working much easier.
I was not happy at work today. I've been fighting off a cold since Tuesday. It made a resurgence today and I was just thnk about going home sick when my boss called. She was calling to tell me about reports that I have been requested for 2 of my schools and they are due by Tuesday. So I spent the afternoon fighting the fog in my brain trying to get as much of the reports done as possible.
Any how I am happy it is the weekend.
-
oh so funny dede, what we have to do for Friday entertainment now that we are not out having fun. I just had to laugh! Also laughed at jen being happy she hadn't coughed - I know that feeling ;D
-
The kids were very loud (most likely been drinking or something else) we could hear them from several streets away. After DH cracked the whip they never come back :D
A group of kids roaming the streets at night time intoxicated or high can be trouble :(
-
Love that Dede.
-
That is so funny dede! :D
-
Happy that it is a beautiful and sunny...
Happy that I got some great op shop bargains this morning...
Happy that I just had a yummy lunch with lots of fresh vegies and fruit....
Happy that I am working tonight...
:) :) :)
-
Happy happy Amy!! :D
-
Happy that I just had a lovely bike ride in the sun down beside the beach... :)
Happy that I have so many wonderful friends on the forum... :)
Happy that I am happy... :)
Yes I am happy Astarra :D
-
lol Amy, can you get any happier?
-
I think I would need drugs to make me any happier Mandi ;D
-
I am happy that my goodie bag item is going to be ready tomorrow for pick up instead of Monday arvo ;D
:-)) not ready today, they stuffed up the job...tomorrow...tomorrow... so that means I'll be happy tomorrow
-
Oh no CP!!! :o
-
Not stressing Amy, if they had asked me for a time I wanted "it" picked up I would have said Monday. They didn't, they gave me an unrealistic time too good to be true. They stuffed up - I don't care, it is a big job and they are human after all. They said come back tomorrow 4:30pm, and I would have happily given them Monday morning, but I need to allow more stuff up time to deliver on time myself. I can't say too much cos I will give it away but I am sooooooo excited (isn't that just the joy of giving but?) I love giving presents to people that I think they will really love - bring it on!
-
I love giving presents to people that I think they will really love - bring it on!
Me too CP, I just hope everyone likes my gift... :-))
-
Dancing the happy dance...
Its the weekend so i am off to keep baking... :D :D
-
You sound as if you have gone to a lot of trouble for our goodie bag CP, we will all love it I'm sure. This bag is going to beat any showbag you can get at the Royal Shows around the country.
-
I know I already posted this, but tickled pink that my spunky spotty horse was so good for me today when I saddled up and threw a leg over. He's had a couple of months off, but did everything I asked him to do without an arguement!
Just love him to bits and can't wait til cutting season starts again.

That's great Nikkit :D I've always been a bit wary of horses since one bit me when I was little :-))
I am happy that Donald and Daisy still visit us :D
-
You cannot reach your age and never have been. to the Royal Show. I will take you but you have to go on all the scary rides with me.
-
Yes, that is no good Amy. I will admit that even at the age of 63 I still love the Royal Show. We came down to it nearly every year. We also had the town show every year, but of course that was on a much smaller scale.

Yes, that is no good Amy. I will admit that even at the age of 63 I still love the Royal Show. We came down to it nearly every year. We also had the town show every year, but of course that was on a much smaller scale.
I'm sorry :( There are so many things I haven't done in my short life :-)) People tell me I haven't lived just because I haven't seen Grease or the Lion King :-[
-
I hope you have seen Dirty Dancing ;D ha ha my favorite .........nothing to do with Patrick Swayze of course ;D ;D ;D
-
You would really enjoy the show Amy. Take up DD offer. Good luck with the rides. ;D
-

If you say so DFM.... as long as they have seatbelts ;D
-
you gotta see Grease and The Lion King.. :)
-
I've never seen Grease...... :o :)
Saw lion king with the girls............
-
You'll love the show Amy, there's a lot of foodie-type stuff if you look for it.
-
I'm happy because we have met Geoff's carers today and I think they'll be fun - he might not want me back!
Not happy because Internet has been down again for most of the day. So much catching up on posts and much slower on the iPad.
-
That's good to hear Judy as you can go away with peace of mind.
I am sure he will miss you and will be so happy when you get back :)
-
I'm happy because we have met Geoff's carers today and I think they'll be fun - he might not want me back!

-

-
Happy as I just returned from a great evening at Toastmasters where I did a project speech. any other forum members also do Public Speaking for fun?
-
Lol GHM, did you just put public speaking and fun in the same sentence? :o
-
We think alike Amy :o
-
;) ;) ;)
-
Glad to hear you have good people taking over Judy it will be good to have a break.
I am happy cause my Foxtel stopped working NOT they are coming on Friday to replace box.
My son also left his sports bag in the car this morning ???
-
Fortunately I've never had much trouble with public speaking. I guess teaching gave me the confidence.
-
I am Happy, I get to go home in 10 minutes.... :D
and start cooking....
-
Happy Robyn :D :D
I am very happy after PT this morning.... but thats not unusual ;D

I'm happy as my goodie bag gift has finally come together, sort of.
-
Thats great DFM :)
I am frantically working on my goodie bag gifts right now. While also browsing the forum and trying to complete a particularly tricky assignment. At least I'm a woman (nearly :-))) so I can do three things at once ;D
-
I'm happy I have sorted out something to wear on our wine tour on Saturday at the retreat.
-
I'm very happy about that too Jen :) As much as I respect people for who they are and what they believe in, I do think that not wearing anything might get us thrown out :-))
-
I'm not dressing up Amy. Just wearing a hat.

I am happy that there are only 2 more days until I get to meet everyone on the retreat. I just wish I could get away from work earlier on Friday so I could join you for lunch.
-
You can leave your hat on ;D ;D
-
You girls are funny :D :D
DFM, I don't have a hat, but I have a very funky bowtie ;)
I am happy that there are only 2 more days until I get to meet everyone on the retreat. I just wish I could get away from work earlier on Friday so I could join you for lunch.
Would they really miss you Dash? I think we would miss you more :-))
-
Hope you are wearing more than just a bowtie Amy.
-
Would they really miss you Dash? I think we would miss you more :-))
Unfortunately yes they would. I am one of the presenters at a conference at Burswood. My session finishes at 10:30. I will leave as soon as I can after that.
-

I will be DFM, I couldn't wear it without the matching socks ;D

-
Climbing hills with my 81year old friend Harry, he is so fit, he is incredible. Been married 60 years & every friday from when he met his wife he has always bought her flowers.
I love talking to Harry, he is quite a character & much fitter than me. After an hour climbing hills he does a spin class :o
H :)
-
Wow, go Harry! I'm impressed.
-

Happy to have had the opportunity to meet all of the lovely people on the retreat weekend. Sad it had to end but Happy to be spending the night in my own bed after spending nearly a week away from home.
-
Happy to have gone, but happy to be in my bed tonight too ;D
My first night was freezing :)
-
I was nice and worm in the man cave. But my waterbed will be lovely and soft tonight.
I have finally had the chance to really look at my goodie bag. I am blown away by how much thought everyone put into their contributions. Very happy to have been apart of the weekend.
-
Lovely to meet you Dash. Enjoy the nougat, dh eyes lit up when I gave him the nougat especially the chilli one ;D

Deep breaths Amy and just go with the flow

I heard some lorikeets this morning and being a bird lover that made me happy. We also had mum and dad galah bring baby galah to visit yesterday.
-
Love birds too.
We have the little birds that look like english robins with the red breasts, someone did tell me there name but forgotten ???
Can anyone refesh?
H :)
-
8 days on, 6 off
-
I'm happy that I now have cleaner fortnightly. Megan starts on Monday. DH - very cross and called me lazy.
It's his upbringing - I'm a lot of things but lazy isn't one them.
-
great organisational skill mcmich - you will now have more time to put your feet up ;)
-
Thanks CP. It's not that I want to put my feet up, I will try and take a bit of a load off DH too.
I quite like mowing the lawns (we have lots of immediate yard to mow).
-
Tell him you'll cancel the cleaner when he agrees to do all the jobs the cleaner is going to do !! Men don't realise all the little things that get done like skirtings, window sills, dusting etc etc and it goes on ! Grrrrr men !
I am lucky though my DH does help with the cleaning ! The gardening, well that's another story ! He hates gardening so we have a gardener to do the lawns so he can help with the housework !
-
My DH is fabulous with the garden and maintenance. He works long hours.
He is very old school for 53yrs and doesn't do domestic very well.
The cleaner is staying, just disappointed he thinks I'm lazy.

I am happy that DW will be home tomorrow. Between me being away last week and her being away this week we have only seen each other for a little while last Thursday when we both happened to be in Perth.
-
Its Friday.... yeah.
Going home to cook..
I am going to bring my ice cream machine to work next week too.
-
Shouldn't be a happy but glad DH has food poisoning and not gastro, really the last thing I need is for the whole family to get sick
Sounds like a good idea robyn and yes thank god it's friday ;D
-
I hope it wasn't from your cooking *suzanne*. ;D
-
Happy now as I have just had an enjo (cleaning) demo held in my home - and my home (after doing no actual cleaning as such all week) was still too clean to demonstrate the products properally....so they had to smear butter all over the place then clean it off to show. :-)) Just so happy to know my home is a nice clean haven. :D
-
Wow Astarra that is great.. Did you buy any Enjo.
I have the window cleaner.
-
Wow Astarra that is great.. Did you buy any Enjo.

Yeah, I have (and love) the window cleaner, and the body products (they are great too) and ordered a basic kit of household stuff - hoping it will have a positive impact on my daughters' health - they are all asthmatics.
-
Glad you enjoyed it Astarra I have the mop dry and the wet fibre
-
I hope it wasn't from your cooking *suzanne*. ;D
Nope but it will teach him to eat at fast food chains especially when he was close to home and I could of made him lunch ;D
-
I am extremely happy right now ;D ;D ;D
Reason 1: I got another record score at my PT session this morning :D :D :D I surprised both myself and my trainers!! :-))
Reson 2: I bought my mum some new earrings as a surprise "I love you" present, so she is really happy :D :D :D
-
What a lovely thing to do Amy and well done on your pt record ;D ;D
-
Well done Amy. You are a very nice daughter.

After reading the shopping thread and the snakes/creepy crawly stories I had to add my snake story there too. Didn't think I better add this one to that thread as well.
But it got me thinking about another giggle I had, and it made me kinda happy remembering times gone by, so I'll share... (at my expense!)
When I had a waist and parts of my anatomy were more 'perky' and I didn't need to wear the over the shoulder boulder holders that are reinforced with high tensile fencing wire and more elastic than my Grandma's knickers (so...some 20 odd years ago), I lived on an island in the Torres Straits with my (now) hubby.
We went out hunting one day with friends and were quietly walking along tracking pigs. Not taking much notice of the guys up front and how they had gone around a low hanging branch on a tree I thought I'd take a bit of a shortcut (cos I was a bit hot and sweaty and over the hunting thing by this time) and ducked under the branch.
I quickly realised why the blokes had all gone around it. All hell broke loose and the quiet was pierced by me squealing and yelling and hopping around flinging my shirt and shorts off in quick succession. I had brushed against a big green ants nest and most of them had gone down my shirt and were biting bits of me that really didn't want to be bitten.
The guys (and my hubby) thought it was hilarious and sat back watching the "show". Now I distinctly remember none of them offered to help remove the ants from my back and I think a few of the Islanders were impressed by the white woman's dance (and err...other bits!).
Once all the ants were removed, they decided that I had made far too much noise and the pigs were long gone and we headed back. But - explained to me that green ants only hurt when they bite and I would be ok, and did I get any to put on the steak we now had to have tonight as green ants crushed onto steak is pretty good. (it is!)
They weren't too bothered by the fact that we did not bring anything home for "kai kai" (tea), (not after the entertainment they had!) and next time they went out hunting they came via our place and asked my hubby if I could come hunting with them again.
(while talking to eachother in pidgin english that they knew of a couple of good ants nests!) I had to decline and told the lads that I could make up my own mind if I wanted to go hunting and that I could understand a bit of pidgin english and I knew what they were saying!
We still have a laugh about that now when we reminisce about the "good old days"!!
-
Great story Nikkit, that gave me a good giggle ;D
-
That made me cringe Nikkit!!! But how funny ;D
-
How ghastly for you. I can imagine everyone enjoying the show though.
-
Green ants only hurt a bit when they bite, so one or two is ok, but a whole nest full was painful. After about 5 minutes the pain is gone - thank goodness!
I do miss green ants though - you hold their heads, bite off their bottoms and have an instant lime hit. Really refreshing when it is hot and you are thirsty.
-
I'm sure we have come across them in our travels. Do they have a sort of bubble at the tail end? A green bubble of liquid?
-
Yes cookie1 that would be them. As far as I know they are a tropical ant. Nasty at the pointy end - their jaws are serious! Yummy bottoms though!
-
Thanks for sharing your story with us Nikkit. It's great to have experiences to look back on and have a good laugh even if they weren't funny at the time ;)
-
Ok I think I have missed something here, people actually eat ants bums :o
-
Not this little black duck Mandi ;D
-
We have lots of green ant nests in our garden. They bite is very painful. The can also swim and can get ya in the pool. The nests are very interesting .
Gert
-
Do you eat them Gert? ???
-
Do you eat them Gert? ???
Only when there is an excess Dashingden.
Gert
-
Ok I think I have missed something here, people actually eat ants bums :o
I think I missed that bit too Mandi :o ???
-
Well ladies and gents...there are the honey ants in the NT that have a bigger bum than the green ant and they are filled with honey. The aboriginals ate them apparently, and yep they are good too!
-
I usually buy honey from the shop ;D
Mmmm... porridge and honey used to be my favourite meal :-))
-
I'm really happy I just got some books in the mail that I ordered :D :D

And there were 5 babies, but sadly one didn't survive. So would of been 17 children.

Happy after 3 doctors visits they finally told me that Lily has a chest infection, I knew she wasn't well and it was more than a cold :-)) now we can start feeling better and eating again
-
I'm happy because after a power outage this afternoon the power has finally come back on ;D
-
Funny story - When my DD about 14yrs at the time. We had a black out. She said "can't wait for the power to come back on - I'm dying to go to the loo". "Mel, the toilet doesn't run on electricity" LOL. She's never lived it down. ;D
-
Oh the poor girl DFM ;D ;D ;D
-
:D :D :D :D Good one Michele.
-
my friend out on a farm cant use the toilet when theres no power
as they need the power to work the water pump ,from the rainwater tank to get the water to the toilet to flush it
so she just tells her boys to go wee in the bush
-
so she just tells her boys to go wee in the bush
what a treat - they'd love that!
-
my friend has a lovely photo of the back of her 2 naked boys standing on the brick retaining wall weeing over it into the bush there heads are facing the cambra and they have big smiles
-
There is nothing like relieving yourself in the great outdoors. ;D
-
I'd have to agree ;D ;D ;D

-
Oh dear - who came up with that brilliant name for her book?
I'm going to leave that right alone, could get messy...

I should buy that book for my kids Julie, they're very fascinated with that word (3 little boys). I could have some real fun with that ! "Öhh I just thought since you love it so much I thought I'd start cooking with it for you too ...... lol" They'd never mention it again lol ! I'll have to show them the pic this afternoon and tell them I've ordered it for them.
-
;D that's just gotta make you laugh :D

My GD was runner up in national final.
Her dessert won gold and her entree and main silver.
They said she has an amazing future career as only 17 years old and 8 months into her apprenticeship and handles the kitchen like a pro. ;D She was the youngest finalist that they have had.
We watched yesterday and after the comp I tasted her dessert. It was sensational.
I met Adrian Richardson from Good Chef Bad Chef and GD got photo with George Colombaris today and DD photo with Matt Preston.
Awards gala dinner and presentations tonight at Sofitel and just finished now
All the young chefs were amazing and plated up incredible food.
They all deserve credit.
Noticed yesterday Cuisinart pressure cookers in the kitchens.
Will have to learn how to post photos as I have pics.
Had lovely food here in Melbourne.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations.
Home tomorrow :)
-
That's fantastic news MF. ;D

I wish him luck :)

-
Thanks ladies and Gert :D :D :D
I'm fairly certain Gert is a lady too lol :-))
-
That's right MF
Yes I no Amy, Gert is an extra lady :)

I'm very happy that I helped somone at personal training today. I felt really good afterwards and I know she did too :D
Anyone else been happy lately? :-))
-
I'm always happy Amy ;D, although some days are a little trying
My happy today I made my 3rd loaf of bread and DS said today's lunch was the best he had ever had it was only Vegemite on the bread I made yesterday nothing to exciting but he was stoked ;D
-
Love those kids Suzanne.
I am happy Amy..
I know what I am getting for my birthday pressie...... :D :D :D
-
I'm happy today as we have spent a lovely afternoon up at Geoff's sister and her DH's place, sitting outside under the pergola without being cold, sipping on Baileys on ice and nibbling on a snack tray.
-
Sounds like a lovely time JD.
I'm happy because the train is almost at my stop & I'll be home from work soon.
-
I'm happy because Dinner is all finished and cleaned up, now I can have a look at the forum for a little while :)
-
I'm happy cos I'm home alone until Sunday so it will be peaceful. Although I may have to catch up some cleaning so that may change my mood somewhat
-

Wow all alone until Sunday :o . The peace and quiet would be almost deafening :D
-
Probably at times, but I'll catch up with my sister for lunch on the weekend, run my business, do some cleaning, find something to cook and the time will fly. Best of all I can watch Big Brother without any interruption
-
My daughter took her first steps today and it was so cute to watch....I think her new soft-soled shoes had something to do with it. I was expecting her to just do a few steps and that's it but she even walked about 30 steps down the hallway. I didn't think I'd be so excited but it's so cute watching her do it over and over!! ;D ;D
-
How cute Tasty, it's a very special time watching your babies take their first steps. Too cute :)
-
Babies and toddlers are fascinating to watch Tasty - I love that stage.
CP, do you run your business from home? Whose your favourite housemate - mine is Josh ;D
-
I love reading everyone's happy things :D
I'm happy because Dinner is all finished and cleaned up, now I can have a look at the forum for a little while :)
We have missed you Mandi :-*

-
Tasty that is great it is always exciting when they start walking :)
-
I do JD, I have an office separate from the house so I can cut myself off from domestic duties if required. There's a lot of great characters this year, and they have made it a lot of fun. I think his name is Ben, and also josh and I can see things are going to get fired up a bit with Rambo sambo.
-
Yes I like Ben too CP but there is one male character that does absolutely nothing for me - adds nothing to the house at all. :-))
-
Whose your favourite housemate - mine is Josh ;D
DW taught George. DD2 was his classmate and both DDs still keep in touch with him.
-
I am happy as my DD and her DH joining us in Singapore today. ;D
Dinner with them tonight on the waterfront :D
-
That will be nice MF have a lovely dinner :) :) :)
-
Have fun shopping MF :)
-
Long auburn hair?
-
I am happy its nearly my birthday... :D
-
So am I Robyn so you can get your you know what. When is your birthday?
-
It's nice to hear people happy that it's their birthday, I love birthdays and don't care that I am another year older ;D
My happy I finally got into the office today haven't been in for more than 2wks so it was nice to get reorganised
I have another 1 week until school holidays, I love SCHOOL HOLIDAYS ;D
-
Yvette, end of October :)
Yes I love birthdays too.
My kids start school hols tomorrow.
-
Getting close Robyn.
School holidays starts here tomorrow here too.
-
I'm happy for my stepdaughter 15yrs. She is going to her Aunty's on the Goldcoast for the holidays.
Her first time in an areoplane by herself. She is going to theme parks too, has been before but was too short to go on most of the rides.
-
That will be a great holiday for her Mich she will have lots of fun :) :)
-
How exciting for her DFM. I hope she has a wonderful time :D
-
I'm extra happy today as my DS (nearly 10 months) slept through the night for the first time last night!! Fingers crossed it wasn't just a one off! ;D
-
Yay KT, that is great
-
Well done kt2 :)
-
Nothing better than that first full night :)
DD is having such a wonderful time on her trip abroad although now it's been 15 days I am starting to miss her, she said the food has been amazing especially in Rome where she is at the moment, it sounds like she may get the travelling bug
-
I'm extra happy today as my DS (nearly 10 months) slept through the night for the first time last night!! Fingers crossed it wasn't just a one off! ;D
Let's hope it's a keeper. 10 months is a long time to wait to get a full nights sleep. Did you wake up with a start and rush in to see if he was OK?
-
I remember rushing into my DD's (4) room when she first slept through!! :D
DH and I actually woke when we heard DS talking and playing in his cot at 6am! We were so excited when we saw the time! It has certainly been a long time coming! :)
-
Michele is your stepdaughter all well again? I'm sure she'll have a lovely holiday.
-
we were so lucky they slept through all night, but no sleeps in the day as babies.
worked great..
-
Yay for the sleepthrough - it feels so good!
-
happy its the weekend so I an cook
-
I am happy thismorning as I had an awesome weekend. I got to tow my float with my new car, so was very happy everything worked there. After not seeing a cow for 6 months I am stoked that my horse got in and worked really well over the weekend in the cutting copetition. He was a star in my eyes! Our scores were bad, but I had a couple of huge break throughs with him (and me), all my work is starting to gel and we had a blast. We cut out one cow who was a real sweetie and we did get down and boogey-ed there for a bit. We went hard, so I am so sore today. Came pretty close to getting sand in my knickers in one spot where I thought the cow, me, my horse and another rider and horse were all going to end up close and friendly in the corner :o
So I had a brilliant weekend, no sand in my knickers and we both came out of the pen with a smile!!
Sorry, that probably doesn't make any sense to many, but I am just happy happy happy that I had a really good weekend doing what I want to do with my spunky horse.
Off to do happy dances - carefully - 'cos I have a few muscles I forgot I had - while I clean the house!
-
LOL Nikkit, that sounds like a lot of fun, especially not getting sand in your knickers ;D ;D ;D
I'm happy that I'm using the skills I'm learning in my nutrition course to help a friend make her diet healthier :)
-
Funny Nikkit glad everything went so well :D :D :D
Just letting you know my DS15 got a call back for the school musical, which I had said last week he only got in the chorus as a principal singer (30 in the chorus and 5 were principal singer) which is a bit disappointing as instead of picking the best singers they went with the older boys and one boy in particular is in my sons year (nowhere near a good singer) got a part I would say because his mother is a teacher at the school. Just a bit disheartened they didn't pick the best singers and went with political correctness. In the end it is a show that people are paying money to see they should have the best people in the parts. ??? ??? ???
-
It's good that he is a principal singer Yvette, but disappointing that they best person for the part doesn't get it.
-
Political correctness sucks, best person should get the part :)
-
How disappointing, however I'm sure he will shine in his part ;)
-
Thanks ladies he will be fine just annoying, not saying he was the best for the lead, but should have got a principal part.
-
we had a great weekend, I had 6 kids, slipping and sliding, in the pool too.
great weather for the holidays.. :)
-
It's lovely weather too Robyn :)
-
I mean it's lovely weather here too Robyn
-
I'm happy that I'm using the skills I'm learning in my nutrition course to help a friend make her diet healthier :)
That is great Amy. It is good that you can use what you have learned to help a friend. :) :)
-
Thanks Den :) I'm also happy that we're going to a dancing class together tonight. I'm helping her find an exercise that she will enjoy so she will stick at it ;)
-

What kind of dancing? DW and I used to do ballroom dancing. It is fun and a good workout. Even though I am much fitter now then when we were dancing regularly I get tired quickly when we jive or cha cha.
-
Um... we're actually going pole dancing :o But its just for fitness!! :)
I always wanted to learn ballroom, but there aren't any good studios down here for that type of thing. I'd still love to learn someday :)

Pole dancing Amy :D Sounds like you've made a friend too.
I went to a young nurses hen's night a few years back that included pole dancing. Not my forte`, couldn't get my backside off the ground.
-
Ha ha you were trying I keep the pole dancing bit secret ... ;D should be quite a laugh (if youre allowed to laugh) don't wear a dress but
-
I'm happy because all my family are well and happy. I know it's a bit drrr but occasionally I feel like that.
-
Not at all Cookie - too many of us take our health for granted :)
-

Pole dancing is supposed to be very good for fitness.
I thought there was a dance studio in Albany?

Ha ha you were trying I keep the pole dancing bit secret ... ;D should be quite a laugh (if youre allowed to laugh) don't wear a dress but
LOL no dresses, but definitely clothes of some form! I have been trying to keep it a bit hush hush.... :-))
I'm happy because all my family are well and happy. I know it's a bit drrr but occasionally I feel like that.
I love it Cookie, we should be happy about that more often :D
-
I am happy as have had a wonderful time in Singapore and enjoyed the last 4 days especially as my DD and her DH were here :)
And very happy that I will see all my family soon. I miss them
Cookie I second you're sentiments. Family are everything ;D ;D ;D
-
hello MF, glad you are having fun... :)
-
Thanks Robyn having a great time :)
Home tonight so last minute shopping today.
Received texts last night with last minute requests so now have a list and ready to hit the shops when they open around 10am
DH not coming shopping ;D ;D ;D
-
Happy the kids are quiet, they are coloring in.. :D
-
It takes a lot of concentration to colour inside the lines ;) ;)
-
They are very good Amy, been quiet all day here.
-
I am happy to have my hand mostly back to normal. It was great to be able to go for a swim last night after the stitches were removed.
-
I am happy that DH and I got the results from our 20,000 km check up and we are both very healthy. :D
-
Um... we're actually going pole dancing :o But its just for fitness!! :)
How was the dancing class Amy? Did you and your friend enjoy it?
-
The dancing class was awesome Den! :D I have a big bruise on my knee from the fireman spin, but apparently you stop bruising as easily as you get used to it ;) We're going again next week ;D ;D
-
That's wonderful Ames. Our little pole dancing forum extraordinaire. :)
-
My name will be in lights one day DFM :D
I'm very happy that I'm helping someone. Simple as that :)
I'm also very happy that Astarra is back! :D :D

-
I am happy to have my family around me again ;D
Although it was nice without them all too ;)
-
happy the happy thread is still going.. ;D
-
Happy that we have had a full week without any sicknesses in the house, 12wks of colds,tonsillitis,chest and ear infections is way too long and hopefully today is the last of our miserable weather and summer won't be far away ;D
-
Your house sounds like mine was a few weeks ago Suzanne! :)
Happy that it is Friday again. :D
-
happy I have my husband
-
I am happy because it is Friday and we get a long weekend :D :D :D
-
Oh Astarra it's been the worst winter ever for sickness in our house, so glad it's over is all I can say
Happy that it's school holidays, plenty of days to relax and play and cook and spend time with my gorgeous kids :)
-
Yvette, I am happy its a long weekend too. garden show for us this weekend, so we will be busy..
-
Have fun Robyn, I will probably need to go back to work for a rest with my mum staying we will be busy doing many things :) :)
-
Thanks Yvette
-
happy I have my husband
So sweet Robyn :D
I'm happy that I finally managed to unlock my phone after doing something strange to it last night :-))
-
I am happy to be home and a beautiful sunny day here in Perth. :)
-
I'm happy because I hadn't realised it was a long weekend last night.
-
It sure is DD ;D
-
It took me a while to figure it out too :-))
-
What did you to to your phone Amy?
-
I had my phone on a setting where I had to draw a pattern on the screen to unlock it, but I wanted to change it so that I had to enter a password instead. So I went into the security settings, but I must have pressed a wrong button because it locked itself and said it wanted the PUK code. I tried to find it online, but when I entered my details, the website told me I wasn't the authorised person. That was at about 10pm last night, and I couldn't be bothered ringing the telstra help line that late at night, so I waited until this morning and rang them as soon as I got up. Finally got the PUK code and unlocked it, but too scared to try and change any settings again ;D
-
Pays not to play with the settings sometimes Amy. My kids have done that before.
-
I just wanted to change it so that it was easier to get into my phone, in case I ever had an accident and someone needed to use it or contact someone for me.
-
That's a good idea Amy and very sensible :)
-
Good idea Amy..
-
I am happy because it's Saturday and I will have the house to myself.
TMX and I are going to have a fulfilled busy day ;D ;D ;D
-
Fun filled busy day!!!! ;)
-
I am happy because thanks to this forums very helpful members I have now been able to post my first photos ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm very happy about that too MF ;D ;D ;D
I was very excited for your GD when she competed, its such an achievement at a young age :D
-
Thanks Amy we are all very proud of her.
This time last year she was just finishing year 11 :)
Managed to post her dishes for you :)
-
Happy to spend time with DD having breakfast at Subiaco Hotel and now cooking.
-
Happy I can go home now and cook
-
I'm happy that we've been to the Perth Royal Show and it was the first year DD (4.5yrs) was brave enough to go on the rides!!! It was great fun to go on the flying elephants and other rides with her!!! ;D :D
-
Sounds like fun kt2. :)
I love to watch little kids having fun.
Possibly going to take two of my grandchildren there during the week. ;D
-
DH thought it was great too and he took DD on the dragon roller coaster!! :o She wasn't a fan of that one though! :-)) surprise surprise!
-
I'm happy as it's a public holiday and I don't have to go to work, also happy my second attempt at sour dough bread is looking really good and is actually rising. I have high hopes :D
(not so happy that it's house cleaning day :()
-
Happy my tomoto plants seem to have bounced back from their rabbit nibbling :)
(pity the zucchinis look sad. :( )
-
Happy, I am about to start cooking.. ;D

Wow, is that the view from your balcony MF? :o :o

The graininess doesn't matter. I'm happy that you took the photo and shared it with us :D :D
I am enjoying my day very much thanks MF :) I have been for a run and saw some whales, done some productive housework, and chatted to my wonderful friends on the forum. What else could I want? ;D ;D ;D I hope you are enjoying your day in glorious Perth too ;)

Kids are super happy as we just had our first chicken Hatch. So cute, will try and get a pic tomorrow. Still 4 eggs to hatch (hopefully) :)
-
Thought it was going to be baby news, and it was, ;D ;D ;D.
-
Lol, yes we now have 2 baby chickens :D
No sign of my niece yet though :D
-
I'm so happy that someone else is going to clean the new house we are moving into and at a good price!! There was so much to do there and it's such a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that I will have it clean ready for us to move in :D :D :D
-
That's great Tasty. Much better to move into a nice clean house :)
Good luck with the move, you must be excited
-
Yes it is exciting but sad at the same time as we will be leaving the home we first lived in as a married couple and had our first baby in. Lots of good memories in this house!
However moving into a bigger and better house in a family friendly area so good things to look forward to.
-
Great news about the house Tasty! And remember you will always have those memories, no matter what house you are living in :)
-
I have always cleaned the house I am selling - would never think to walk out and leave it for someone else to do :o I'm sure our members would do the same.
Good luck in your new house Tasty, we all need room to grow and you will soon love the new house as much as you did the old one.
Some flowers for your new house.

-
They're lovely JD! I'm sure Tasty will enjoy them.
Happy because I'm heading down to my house in Albany on Thursday. Can't wait to get into the garden (very unlike me!) and sort the kitchen a bit more. Need to find a nice doona cover and a couple of other things while I'm there.
-
Tasty, I was sad when we sold our first house. We are on house number 3 & staying.
Always clean a house before leaving, cupboards etc.
H :)
-
Very exciting news Tasty.
I have never been overly attached to any house I've had and I'm onto No 7.
I was a bit sad when mum moved into the retirement village earlier this year. That home was where we had lived since I was five years old. Started kindergarten there and had the same phone number for 47yrs.
-
Michelle I can relate to that, I have only been in 2 houses
-
l was sad when my dad sold the house l grew up in , l moved out when l was 21
he remarried about 10 years later sold the house and moved into his new wifes unit
tasty a bigger house is a lot better for a family , it will be great lots of new memories to create
-
Tasty hope you will enjoy the new house, once you move you will forget about the old house
-
Tasty - a brilliant idea to get the house done before you moved in! It's a huge load off your shoulders and now you can just concentrate on moving forward! Good luck with the move - hope everything goes smoothly and that you quickly begin to feel "right at home!"
-
My parents have lived in 3 houses in over 50 years of marriage. On the other hand my eldest DD was 5 before she had a birthday twice in the same house. We have lived in 14 houses in 30 years. After a while you don;t get too attached to them.
Though I did think the one we sold 2 year ago was going to be our growing old in house and I was very sorry to sell it but you really can't go back once you move forward.
-
I'm happy I've lived in the same house since I was born, I even have the same room, same curtains, same paint on the walls ;D
It will probably make it harder to move out eventually though :-))
I went for a run this morning and saw a baby bandicoot and a baby wren :D :D :D
-
we have lots of bandicoots Amy
-
Thank you for the lovely flowers JD - how thoughful :) and for all the nice wishes from everyone. I wasn't confident that the house would be cleaned as the the family selling it has 3 young children and probably no time to clean as can be seen by the amount of dust that has accumulated on the venetian blinds. Any tips for cleaning those when I move in, on a regular basis?
Oh and I will finally have a dishwasher so need to learn how to use one.
We are looking forward to making new memories with our growing family and making ourselves at home. We have to wait one more day due to settlement being delayed by the other party.
-
I'm very happy that everyone at mum's work LOVED the cakes and brownies I made :D :D
-
I'm very happy that everyone at mum's work LOVED the cakes and brownies I made :D :D
Good heavens, Amy!! What would be there NOT to like!! They looked amazing in those photographs earlier!! - and I'll bet they tasted just as good as they looked!!
-
Thanks so much GF :D :D :D
I love it when people enjoy my food. Thats what I love about cooking and baking... more so baking, because I'm better at that ;D
-
Amy your cooking is wonderfull
-
I'm happy it's Friday and I have the whole weekend off to look forward to.
Lots of cooking and friends and family over for Sunday lunch. :D
-
happy its friday too. Going shopping tomorrow, and cooking sunday.
-
Love Fridays. It is DH birthday tomorrow so we are going out for dinner. I have told him we are going to meet up with a couple, but there is actually several more coming SURPRISE :) :)
-
I hope he likes surprises then Yvette and enjoys his day ;D
-
That's lovely Yvette, where are going?
-
Ooooh, how exciting Yvette, I hope you both have a wonderful time :D :D :D
My mum's birthday tomorrow too..... it seems to have crept up on me, the only thing I have planned is her cake :-\ Still can't decide on present. Or what to do about their dinner, since I will be working. Would be a bit rough for mum to have to cook on her own birthday!

SD doesn't take her out for dinner on her birthday Amy? - perhaps that is something you could give her, a nice meal out somewhere.
-
He might.... but then he might not :P
I'll buy mum a dinner voucher, good idea Judy :)
-
We are going to a chinese restaurant, haven't been to this one before but the couple ;) we are going with recommended it. So should be good :)
-
Sounds lovely Yvette. I hope he is surprised and has a very happy birthday.
I'm happy it's Friday (my day off) and the sun is shining. Pity I have to go to the dentist this morning :(
-
sounds good Yvette.
-
He might.... but then he might not :P
I'll buy mum a dinner voucher, good idea Judy :)
If he doesn't want to take her Amy then you and Mum can go another time when you are not working - it won't be wasted.
-
Hope he takes her Amy :o
If not do what Judy said and you and mum have a nice dinner out together.
You deserve it too for all the cooking you do ;D
-
Great idea! Thanks Judy and MF :D
-
Hope everything works out for your mums dinner AMY :) :)
-
I'm happy that its a beautiful day today
-

Would love to Robyn. ;)
Never been further than Airlie Beach

We need to do a Thermomix Forum Tour around Australia ;D ;D
I am really really happy!! I just got home from work, where one of the other girls invited me over to her house next weekend for a Disney movie night!!! :D :D :D
I'm so excited, I've never been over to a friend's house to watch movies and have a sleepover ;D ;D ;D
-
May it be the first of many Amy :)

That's wonderful Amy I am so excited for you ;D
-
Thanks ladies, I can't wait ;D She even said she would get me some healthy nibbles :D
May it be the first of many Amy :)
I truly hope so Judy :)
-
That's the good thing about working Amy, the friends you make along the way. I have many friends from nursing.
How did the pole dancing go?
-
I am feeling happy today about finally getting possession of our new house and love the new carpet we had installed in our new bedroom - so lovely and soft!
-
Amy when you come to Perth maybe you could come to our place and meet my GD Jade if you have time?
-

How lovely Tasty. New home. Nothing like the feel of carpet under your feet. I miss that as I have floor boards and tiles throughout.
-
4 more sleeps until DD gets home from her European adventure, Lily is missing her terribly to the point she sets the table at dinner time and says it's for pretend Abby
Amy sounds like a fun night is in order, enjoy!
-
I bet you can't wait Suzanne. How long has she been away?
My GD 16 has just gone to Italy for a month and I miss her very much.
Sooo cute when the younger ones miss their siblings :)
-
How did the pole dancing go?
We didn't go because of the public holiday. We were working :-))
But we're going again this week :D
Amy when you come to Perth maybe you could come to our place and meet my GD Jade if you have time?
:D :D :D :D :D
I'd love to MF!! And mum is talking about going up to Perth on the 20th November, so I could come up with her ;D
-
I'm so happy because I'm down in Margaret river and I've successfully managed to teach myself how to tether my iPad to my phone .... So I will be able to keep up with the forum ;D
-

It will be 32 days MF, such a long time for her first trip away from home, but she is having a ball and even got to enjoy Oktoberfest which she said was a little crazy but oh so much fun :-))
-
Would love to Robyn, how far does Gert live from you? Maybe one day :)
-
What a wonderful experience for her Suzanne.
The young ones are so lucky :)
My GD is on a school trip to Italy.
Her first time in Europe and won't be her last ;D
-
Very happy that I'm getting a good pay this week ;D ;D ;D
Also happy that I am working again tonight, even though I'll miss out on pole dancing again.... :-))
-
Yvette, its only 1 hour between Gert and me.. :)
-
Robyn that's close then you can catch up from time to time :)
-
I'm happy that more people are posting pics ;D (if you don't know how, please ask :))
-
Oh I had noticed that too CP ;D ;D ;D Its exciting, I love seeing photos!!
-
I am happy that I don't have to go to work until Monday.
-
Thats a good reason to be happy Den ;D
-
First thing this morning before breakfast the cat brought a big fat rat inside from the derelict house next door. I'm happy that its bin day and I managed to grab it in a plastic bag and dispose of it before the truck came. Heard the truck about two minutes later so that was lucky. Cat was not happy and she's refused her brekky, and gone to visit the derelict house for something better.
-
LOL ;D ;D ;D
-
Naughty cat ;D That's the trouble with cat/dog doors, you never know what they are going to drag in or what is going to follow them in.
-
No more presents for you CP. Poor cat, I suppose you threw it in the bin right in front of her eyes.
-
DD flies in tonight at 5.30, can't wait to see her and hear all about her trip ;D
Plus her new room is all finished, thank goodness, cleaned it on the weekend (tradies are so messy) and now it's ready for her to move in and the boys can have their rooms painted and hopefully move them in on the weekend
Ooh CP your brave ;D
-
Not the sort of pressie I would want CP.. :D :D

I'm happy that your cat didn't hide the rat for you to "sniff" out in a couple of weeks time!! ;D
-
Don't worry I ran and shut the doors to the bedrooms pretty quick. I dint want to pick it up but I just had to get in there and do the job without looking at it. The pressies just kept rolling in...5 mins later a dragonfly. Fortunately she's pooped and sleeping for the rest of the day :-))
-
I'm really really happy and excited :D :D :D
One of my new friends from work saw my baking photos on facebook and asked if I would make her birthday cake ;D ;D
I'm so excited, I'm going to make her an awesome cake ;) ;) ;)
-
Amy!!!you go girl! :D
-
CP, beautiful looking cat - and mighty proud looking too! ;D
Amy- that's great news!! :D
-
That's great Amy what cake will you do?
-
Thanks ladies :D :D :D
Yvette, she has given me a brief idea of what she does and doesn't like. I'm making a list of cakes based on that, and then she's going to choose ;D ;D ;D
-
Cool Amy good luck and make sure you take a photo ;D ;D
-
Great news Amy
-
That's wonderful Amy :)
-
Congratulations Amy! Is this a paid assignment?
-
Thanks everyone ;D
I'm doing it purely for friendship's sake Snappy ;)
-
Amy just checked my dates for NZ and we leave on Nov 21st so if you come up on the 20th we won't be able to catch up :(

Can you come up on the weekend before I goto NZ?
-
I will discuss it with the driver (AKA mum :-))), we might be able to work something out MF :D
I really hope we can!!
-
:D I hope so Amy
-
My GD has Sunday's and Monday's off work at the moment Amy :)
-
Ohh, you're doing a very good job of teasing me MF ;D ;D ;D
Mum went out but she will be back soon ;)
-
Ha ha :)
No pressure but would be great to see you and for you to meet Jade.
You are welcome to stay here but again no pressure. We will be very happy to meet you :)
-
Today I was just happy for no reason. :) :)
-
That's great DD. it's good to wake up on the right side of the bed ;D
-
Great DD
-
Today I was just happy for no reason. :) :)
:D :D :D
-
Always nice to wake up happy.
Happy because all the family is together once again and everyone is healthy and the children have been so good today ;D
-
I am happy because I am sitting outside the van with a beautiful view of Streaky Bay. It would be perfect if the couple in the van in front would stop arguing over their dinner that they are eating at 4.35. I guess you can't have everything

Hopefully seeing they eat dinner at 4.30pm, they will be in bed asleep by 7.30pm and peace will be restored :)
-
Happy because my tiles for my splash back have turned up, now just have to wait for them to be put up! :D
-
I'm happy because I just got home from a really fun sleepover :D :D
-
That's great Ames. Are you allowed to say what you girls got up to?
-
We watched 101 Dalmations, Anastasia, and a couple of comedy films :D And I played with her gorgous puppy :-))
-
Oh Amy a nice sleep over. I was thinking a different sleep over,,,,, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Bad me
-

Love 101 Dalmations. I'm so happy you had a nice time Ames. :D
Thanks DFM :D We decided that I'll have to go over again sometime because we didn't get to watch Happy Feet this time :-)) ;D
-
Its great that you had such a good time Amy. I hope that you can do it again and get to watch Happy Feet. I think you would like Mr Popper's Penguins too.
-
Thanks Den! I can't wait to go back and watch the dancing penguins :D We also need to watch Monsters Inc, and hopefully some of the other girls from work can come next time too :)
-
A girly slumber party would be unreal DFD. Have you watched Ratatouillie?
I don't like animations particularly but love that, 101 Dalmations and The Incredibles.
I'm 52 and occasionally a couple of us get together for a slumber party. We usually watch sex in the city, You've got mail and my best friends wedding.
-
Glad you had a nice sleepover Amy, was this with your friend from pole dancing?

I saw Ratatouille when it first came out a few years ago DFM, and I remember I loved it! That's another one for the list ;D ;D
And I'm pretty sure I loved the Incredibles too :-))
I've never been into those drama type movies. I find them too.... dramatic ;D
Glad you had a nice sleepover Amy, was this with your friend from pole dancing?
Thanks Yvette :D No, this was one of the other girls. There are four of us altogether, so hopefully we will be able to find a weekend when we are all free for the next sleepover :D
-
Lovely Amy
-
Sounds like fun, Amy. :D
-
What about Pretty Woman Michele, an all time great and is the only movie I have watched more than once. Love the sound of your slumber party for oldies ;D
-
Very happy now as I have found a new home for my steamer (that has been sitting in the top of my appliance cupboard since I got TM) with a friend! :D
Hers has broken, so she was going to buy a new one...(she doesn't have a TM)...so I'm happy and she is happy!!! :D :D :D
-
Thats lovely Astarra!! :D
I'm really happy that I am about to make some biscuits for a friend of mine, because I know he really appreciates my cooking :) :)
-
Great Astarra
-
I'm glad I don't have to catch this train/bus. ;D

Love Pretty Woman JD. Pity we all don't live closer - we would have a slumber party to remember. (be able to show those young ones how to do it). Maybe when we all retire to TMX Village. :D
-
Could you imagine a girls night occasionally with some of the live wires from this forum - bring on the retirement village girls ;)
-
OMG a TM retirement village...wouldn't that be wonderful. Only thing is the forum would go quiet :(
-
Retirement, not yet. ;D
-
TM retirement village. We could all cook something in the afternoon ,meet up for happy hour , drinks eating and laughing, then home to bed ;D
-
Can I retire early so I can join you? ;D ;D ;D
-
Nope ;D You have to live life first Amy before you get to enjoy retirement.
-
Oh poop! :-)) ;D
-
Amy, you could be the child/grandchild that visits with a basket of goodies. Sort of like Little Red Ridinghood. 8)
-
Am very happy we are not going to live in the wilderness of the prairies!
-

I'm very happy that so many people have joined in with the secret santa!!! :D :D :D
-
It is not surprising Amy - this is afterall, the friendly forum ;D
-
You're absolutely right Judy ;D
:D :D :D
-
Fantastic Idea Amy
-
I'm happy that you had such a good idea Ames. This is a very friendly forum and a lovely way to share the holiday season with one another. :D
-
So happy that my strawberry jam turned out so nice, spread it on to fresh wholemeal bread with marscarpone cheese and it was just sooo nice.
-
Yummy Geyhound mum
I looked at our veges today, so impressed, so much comming up
-
That sounds yummy GHM :D
-
I'm happy because I am trading in my old busted up car on a much better one, and my nana is helping me pay the difference ;D I will post a photo when I get it on Wednesday!!! :D
-
That's great Amy have fun with your new car :D
-
How exciting Amy!
I'm happy as I have my secret Santa present all ready to post!! ;D
-
Great Amy.
KT2 thats quick
-
That sounds wonderful Amy. :D Now all you need to do is work on that license. :P
-
Great news Amy. KT2 I am happy because I have my secret Santa gift ready to post too.
-
Wow you girls have got your ss gifts organised already I am still trying to come up with an idea.
-
Thanks everyone, and well done to you ladies who have your SS presents organised already! :o :D
That sounds wonderful Amy. :D Now all you need to do is work on that license. :P
Thanks Den, I'm so excited ;D Except for the new rule that says we have to have the log book for 6 months. So even if I do the 25 hours in 3 months, I still won't get my P's until the 6 months is up :(
-
Amy in Sydney you have to do 100 or 110 hours
-
:o :o :o
-
oh no, way too organised, still searching for the perfect gift :D
-
I'm excited for baby cuddles very soon. Tomorrow is induction day :D
-
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Wishing your sister and her bubs all the very best dede! :)
Those baby cuddles are just so precious :D
-
Amy in Sydney you have to do 100 or 110 hours
It's 120 hrs. 20 hrs have to be night driving and if you are under 25 then you have to have your "L's" for at least 12 months.
-
Glad I got my licence nearly 15 years ago.....! :D
-
Car tomorrow!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Sorry, I'm just a little bit excited :-))

What!?! Man, the rules are really different for each state! :o
-
So glad here in WA liek Amy said it's only 25hrs, it doesn't sound like much but when DD was doing her hours DH and DD would go for long drives on the weekends to nowhere and by the end of the 6mrths both were starting to get a little tired of each others company ;D
-
gosh, so different from when I got my licensee. it was 6 weeks, from your 17th birthday, to test. :) :) :)
-
I think the more hours and experience the better. My DH fudged his daughters night hours which I think is so wrong.
One thing in NSW, if you have a driving instructor take you out then your 1 hour equals 3hrs up to ten lessons.
-
In 'the olden' days we actually got our license on the day we turned 17. Then we were on probation for 12 months but didn't have p plates or anything like that.
-

I agree with you there DFM. I would rather have lots of practice and be a really safe driver. But its really expensive for young students to pay for their permit, a car, insurance, etc, and then have to buy gallons of fuel to cover all the hours :(
-
It is expensive Amy and DH wouldn't fudge the hours so they bonded a lot ;D
We paid for her to get her licence and lessons for her 18th birthday present and she had bought her car after saving since she was 13
-

My mum is a better driver than SD, so she will be coming driving with me ;D
And I sure hope she doesn't offer to pay for more lessons for my 18th birthday present. That would be very boring. I would rather pay for them myself ;)
-
It worked out well for us all,she didn't need nor want anything more than her license so win,win for us ;D
Whats on your list for your 18th Amy?
We are stumped for DD's 21st next year it gets harder because they start buying everything they want themselves :-))
-

Nice jewelry. My parents had a necklace made (I chose the setting and chain) for my 21st and I still wear it everyday.

I don't actually have a list suzanne.... I'm just hoping my mum will come up with something awesome ;D Its a bit scary because the year seems to have gone so fast :o
At least you still have a few months of this year to think about DD's 21st ;)
-
Amy isn't your birthday next month?
-
Wow courton you have a good memory :o :D
Yes, my birthday is the 18th of November :)
-
This is a bit late but I was so happy to have a dishwasher on the weekend. This is the first time I've had a dishwasher and we had guests over on the weekend. I had a whole pile of dishes to wash after 3 courses (and there were only 5 adults) so it was so good to put them all in the dishwasher while I washed the pots and pans. Such a relief! This was a big deal for me ...can you tell??!
-
I certainly can tell Tasty! ;D And I'm sure I would feel the same as you because I have never used a dishwasher. All our dishes at home are washed by hand in a single sink :P
Congratulations on your dishwasher!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I can understand how grateful you were to finally have a dishwasher Tasty. I never had one in my life until we renovated the kitchen here and my DD2 and her DH wanted to buy us one. I protested but in the end she won out. I am now on my second one and it is one item I would not be without now.
-
Not sure if I am happy about this or not....but here goes.
I wasn't home for dinner as I had a toastmasters function. Came home and noticed lid of TMX off, NOT how I left it. Now for those of you who don't know, my DH has been anti TMx since I got it and thinks it is just another kitchen gadget.
I then asked him if he had been using it, he replied yes.....well it's only a blender so I made some paste!!!!
This worries me as he has not had any instruction at all and I am concerned he will break it and it won't be covered under warranty.....or should I be pleased that he has tried to bond with TMX while I have been out????
-
Mmm, I think I would rather be supervising when he used it GHM. Very strange state of affairs, what sort of paste did he make? A glue type paste or an edible paste? I wonder what prompted him to use it for the very first time.
-
GHM, I would be worried if DH used mine..
Amy don't you get your car today...
-
I think that would be cause for concern GHM... :-))
Amy don't you get your car today...
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
My DH uses my TM often, I think it is a man/machine thing! ;)
-
SD doesn't even know how to put it together :-))
-
Have fun getting your car Amy ;D ;D
25 hours is crazy you could do that in a couple of months, glad I don't drive in WA it sounds like there is a lot of inexperienced drivers :o :o
-
Thanks Yvette ;D The hardest part is going to be taking the money from my nana.... I know she really wants to help, and I really appreciate it, but its a lot of money for an elderly couple on a pension :-\ I will pay her back with interest though ;)
I probably could do 25 hours in a couple of months, but I still have to have the log book for 6 months :P
I would say there are more reckless drivers than inexperienced drivers >:(
Happy :D
-
You will be able to visit Barker lots now Amy, reading this post reminds me I must ring your Gran, will do it now. :) :)
-
I sure will Sue, you better watch out ;D ;D ;D
I hope you got hold of nana. I know she was coming into Albany sometime today... I think we are having lunch with them :)
-
How about a picture of the new car when you get it? :)
-
As long as nobody laughs :D :D :D
-
Why would we laugh Amy?
-
what sort of car is it Amy, what color.......
-
I'd love to see your new car Amy! It's very exciting! I remember my first car was an absolute bomb that would always stall when you turned left!! ??? ??? Lucky it would start again! ;)
-
Why would we laugh Amy?
Its a very little car.... only 3 cylinder ;D
Robyn, its a Daihatsu. Can't remember what sort, but I'm not very good with car names :-)) Its a sort of silvery colour... :)
Katie, what an odd car you had :o ;D
-
It's not a Handy Van is it?
-
Congratulations Amy and yes please we want to see a picture of your new car.
GHM my DH sounds just like yours and I am worried for you, but not sure how you should tackle the topic with him. Maybe you should subtly suggest to show him some tips on how to use it?
-
It's not a Handy Van is it?
I hope not ???
Thanks Kimmy ;D
-
It is probably a Charade or a Sirion though it could be a Cuore. Nothing wrong with any of these as a first car.
-
Its a little box ;D ;D ;D
-
its a little box, my first car was a Suzuki hatch, took $4 of petrol a week.
showing my age then.....
-
I don't think you could even run a scooter on $4 worth of petrol these days.
-
as I said Den, I am getting older....
Happy I ordered the prawns today for christmas.
-
whens your birthday obbie? It should be soon shouldn't it? You must be getting very excited!
-
I got my car!! I started a thread in Chit Chat with a couple of photos ;D ;D ;D
-
Very happy for you Amy and it looks great ;D
-
Thanks MF!! I'm so excited ;D ;D ;D
I will be able to drive myself up to visit you :D :D :D
-
Fantastic and can't wait ;D
-
Congrats once again for the new car Amy!! I'm sure you'll be busy driving everywhere now :)
I felt happy today to have my blinds (in the new house) finally cleaned - they look amazing now and there is no sign of dust, dirt or grease - hooray! So happy with the service!!
I also felt happy to see half the neighbourhood kids out and about having fun in the park this afternoon - such a family friendly neighbourhood!! So glad we moved here!
-
Thanks Tasty! :D
Your neighbourhood sounds lovely, and so do your blinds! You must have had a good day ;D
-
Sounds good tasty, I'm sure you must feel alot better with the blinds finally cleaned. :) A nice neighbourhood is great, too. :D
-
Tasty I am glad you finally got the blinds clean :D :D

I'm happy that I took mum for a drive in Goliath today :D
And even happier that we stopped to get a few scratchies, and I won $30 on a $2 one ;D ;D ;D
That will go towards a tank of fuel for some more driving practice ;)
-
Sounds like Goliath has brought you good luck.
-
sounds good Amy
-
Goliath Amy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Goliath Amy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Good isnt it Sue? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Well Amy, Goliath it isn't :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
You wait until you see him GO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Happy its Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday
-
Love it obbie! :)
-
Astarra, are you looking forward to Wednesday...
-
Yep ;)
-
I'm really looking forward to Thursday ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Is yours Wed or Thurs Sue? :)
-
we could all party here.
Wonder if my pressie arrives soon.
-
Wednesday astarra, but Thursday is a free day - no meetings or work as yet. Will be able to spend day cooking.
-
3 days of partying coming up.....
-
already have my pressie a second bowl set, makes life so much easier. Only takes half the time to make ricotta and either Tueday or Wednesday my black pizza machine will arrive ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Had a wonderful weekend, have cleaned my house from top to bottom and DD is having a nice early nap so I get 5 minutes to myself ..........Life is great !
-
My replacement Cuisinart ice-cream maker arrived today, Domicillary Care rang this morning and are bringing out an electric lifter for us tomorrow morning and I have accepted a quote to recover our pergola with alsynite.
-
It sounds like the forum will be partying hard this week ;D ;D ;D
Sounds like you have had a productive day Judy ;)
-
Great news about the electric lifter JD - hopefully it might make your lift a bit easier.
Also good news about the replacement ice-cream maker, I hope it's easier to work than the last one!
-
I'll let you know tomorrow Katie - tell DH although I talked you out of buying one because of how the other one performed, if this new one is much better, he may not be off the hook just yet ;D
-
I am happy when my mum leaves a vase of roses from her garden on my desk :D
-
First thing that made me smile this morning was the thought of Suejen having to be in Albany at 7am lol
-
Thanks for the laugh kelliejen. I nearly spat my drink all over my iPhone.
-
Poor Sue..... :-))
;D ;D ;D
-
I was in the shower by 5am, not funny
-
Better than being in the s**t by 5am. That would make for a very unpleasant day :-))
-
;D so true Amy!
-
LOL!!! You lovely forum people make me laugh (and make me happy too!) ;D
-
I'm happy because I'm drinking some tea that apparently makes you lose weight ha ha :D just the thought of me in a bikini makes me laugh
-

Why did you need a replacement JD?
-
Super happy this morning :)
-
I am Happy, because its my birthday
-
*pwhooph* just blowing some happy birthday wishes your way obbie :D
-
Have a wonderful day Robyn xx
-
Why did you need a replacement JD?
Because it just wouldn't go together properly Megan. The arm which turned the paddle wouldn't lock into place - there are a couple of discussions about this in this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11460.0) thread. The latest model is much easier to put together.
-
Happy birthday Robyn! Have a fantastic day and can't wait to hear all about your present!!! ;) :-*
-
I'm happy because I have two new baking cookbooks!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I am now happy, as the power is back on. we just had a blackout for 1 1/2 hours
-
I'm happy that I have found a good doctor and that the inevitable blood test is over :( :)
-
I am Happy, because its my birthday
Happy Birthday Obbie enjoy your day
-
I'm happy that I have found a good doctor and that the inevitable blood test is over :( :)
good doctors are hard to get into. I am sure that over time you will get better at having blood tests with the support of a god doctor. My daughter was the same she always used to faint at the sight of a needle and she faced the fear by aiming to be a blood donor which she has now done!!! She is 19 and she is also an AMY!!
-
I've been hoping each needle would get easier over the past couple of years GHM, but even though I talk myself into being really brave I can never keep it together :-[ My mum has suggested hypnotherapy to help with my phobia, but I don't like the thought of that :-))
AMY is a great name ;D ;D ;D
-
Amy, I think if your problem is severe hynotherapy would be very good and should work well . My youngest daughter has two severe phobias one is of flying and one is quite weird, a phobia about people with missing limbs. It is called apotomnophobia!!! She has now had hypnotherapy and has recently managed a flight all the way to England, it was hard for her but she did it, a few months ago she would not have even considered it.
As for the limb thing when she used to see a person with missing or fake limb she would faint straight out, the bodys way of shutting it out of the system. She is now almost 15. My Mum didn't help when she visited, she said that my daughter was " just doing it for attention". Anyone who knows anything about phobias will know that it is not at all controllable and certainly not something people do for attention!!!
Maybe a new thread - what are your phobias!!!???
-
I agree with GHM Amy hypnotherapy would probably help with fear of needles.
-
GHM, I agree that phobias are uncontrollable. I would love to be able to go into the clinic and have an injection or blood test without having panic attacks, but I can't no matter how hard I try. I get very embarrassed by the "attention" I recieve from my phobia of needles because its usually people telling me to grow up or toughen up.
I'm glad hypnotherapy worked for your DD. It sounds like she has improved a lot in facing her phobias! :D
Den, I think it would work too, but I don't know if I'm ready for it yet. When I think of hypnotherapy, I think of all those children's cartoons I used to watch where people were hypnotised and then their friends got them to do chicken dances and stuff :-)) It takes a while for me to trust people, and I don't think hypnotherapists would give me a few "get to know me" sessions for free :P
-
Modern hypnotherapy is not at all like that, any good psychologist will ensure they have your trust before they do this. There is also a way that you can get this with very little gap payment. When you feel ready, happy to give you more details. When you are able to avoid your phobia,it is easy to put it off!! Unfortunately for my DD she got so bad that she would not go out or anywhere near dr or hospital " just in case " someone with missing limbs would be there. I totally understand how you feel.
-
First pain free shower in 3 1/2 weeks.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
Hallys Happy World.
Pain free atm ;D. Hope it lasts.
H :)
-
That is great to hear Hally! You have made me happy too :D :D :D
Fingers crossed for the pain to stay away!
-
Great Hally
-
Happy I slept straight through last night without waking up - feeling really good today :)
-
Happy I slept straight through last night without waking up - feeling really good today :)
Ooh yes full of energy. Feels good doesnt it cp?
My first straight sleep in 3 1/2 weeks
H :)
-
Great news Hally :D
So pleased for you :D
-
Excellent Hally.
-
That must be a relief Hally.
CP I don't know what sleeping through the night is any more. At my age I can't seem to make it past about 4 am without having to get up for a wee.
I am happy that my sister and her family have survived hurricane Sandy with only a damaged shed from a falling tree. They didn't even lose power. She only had manage with losing her cable TV for a day.
-
So pleased to hear that DD. She has been very fortunate. :)
-
DD sounds like me...
-

Its not just an age thing Den :-)) ;)
I'm glad your sister is okay. I only heard about hurricane Sandy last night. I'm very oblivious to the goings on in other countries :-\
-
And to think you didn't need to have babies for that problem Den! Glad your sister got through ok, very scary.
Happy Halloween everyone :)
-
Happy Halloween
Pain free for just over an hour, its back now but thats a start.
H :)
-
That's what I mean DD, usually have to get up once or it's DH snoring like a freight train. Glad your sister and family are fine. Very scary!
-
Glad your family are fine Den..
Hello CP
-
I am happy because I get 4 hours respite today. DS20 has been taken to a Halloween Party by some carers. I love having a bit of time to myself. Happy happy happy :) :) :)
-
That will be bliss for you Moptop! I hope you do something nice for yourself :)
-
Enjoy your time MT. :)
-
Enjoy MT
-
4 hours is wonderful Moptop - how often do you get respite?
-
Hope you had a relaxing and reviving 4 hours respite today Moptop :)
-
JD I get 4 hours on Tuesdays and 4 hours on Wednesdays. Carers pick DS up at 10 and drop him back at 2. I tend to got out with friends one day and get paperwork done the other day. Sometimes it is just lovely to have the house to myself and potter around as I please. Never enough time to do everything I would like but I'm not complaining, 8 hours is better than nothing at all. They had a Halloween party today and they had heaps of games for them. Big tubs of jelly which they had to put their hands in and try to find the fake eyeballs! Donuts hanging from the ceiling which they had to eat with their hands behind their backs, face painting and lots of hat making. DS came home having had a great day. He can't read or write and has limited verbal skills so trying to understand what he had done was a bit difficult today, but together we worked it out! He would be great at charades :)
Amy I did have me time - I spent way too much time on here today!! LOL
-
It sounds like DS had a really wonderful day at the party MT :D
And your "me time" sounds like it was pretty good too!! ;D
-
I can imagine the fun DS had Moptop, bet he was on a real high when he came home. Me time is special and hard to come by, pity you can't get a little more than 8 hours a week. Special hugs to you and your DS.
-
Glad you got some me time Moptop :) :)
-
Yes, glad you got some time.
-
Happy its Thursday,,, then Friday
-
Oh gosh its Thursday already.... :o :(
Where has my week gone? ???
-
There is a parcel for me at the post office...
-
That sounds like a good reason to be happy Robyn ;D
-
I think my weekend will be good, what about yours.
I know what I will be doing......
-
I am happy because you are happy Obbie. Have a great weekend with your parcel!
-
Have fun with your parcel Robyn. We would like a full report by Monday.
I am a little unhappy this morning. It seems that my 2 week old iPhone 5 has died. It was working before I left home. It had a bout 50% charge but now nothing. >:( I went home and got the charger but still nothing.
The real pain is that I will have to wait until next weekend to take my phone to Perth and get it looked at. In the mean time I will be phone-less because the new phone has a different size sim to the old phone.
-
How frustrating Den >:( Have you tried talking nicely to it? :-))
You will just have to do all your chatting on here with us :)
-
Is the parcel what we all think it is? ;D
If yes then you will have a wonderful weekend Robyn ;D
Very happy for you ;D
-
Oh No Den, Can't they send a new one in a courier, Or a air express satchel ,as its faulty.
I could not go a day without my phone at all.
Yes, Report will be in Monday for you Den.. Hope its a good one. ;D ;D ;D
-
When DD dropped her smart phone and smashed the screen and wouldn't work, she took it to her phone people (either Voda or Op***) and they gave her a different SIM card free so she could use my old iPhone as she was on a plan. They may do that for you in the interim until yours is up and running DD.
-
Thanks CP unfortunately my phone people are in Perth too. I will try and call the help line and see if they can do anything. They may be able to transfer my number back to the old SIM.
-
Robyn have you picked up your parcel yet?
Hope your phone gets better Den that is not good at all >:(
-
Yes Yvette, its here at work, ready to go home with me to play
-
Ooooo, exciting Robyn! ;D
-
Have fun with it Robyn you lucky girl :o :o
-
I hope I haven't missed what the pressie is, I am excited for you, I love pressies.
-
Robyn has gotten an HMP for her birthday.
-
Sorry to be a bit dense, but what is an HMP??
-
A different brand of thermothingy whose name shall not be mentioned.
-
It's a Hot Mix Pro 50PALL. Google and see what you think?
Can't wait for the reviews Robyn. :)
-
Den they should be able to divert your mobile to another number, straight away. we have done that when my DH dropped his phone in water.
-
Thanks Robyn. I will either do that or see if they can transfer my number back to the old SIM in my old iPhone.
-
I'm happy my blood tests came back clear. Now I'm just hoping that the chest x-ray will be either clear or just a minor infection that can be easily treated ;)
-
That's good Amy. Happy dance for you too!
I am happy as we won netball tonight and no bumps to the mouth. Yippee :)
-
I'm happy as I got my computer fixed today and he only charged me half price. And its nearly Friday.
-
Thanks Kimmy :) And well done on the win!! :D :D
What a bargain Jen ;D
-
That's great news Amy. :) Well done kimmyh.
-
It's my babies 4th birthday today. Can't wait until he wakes up to give him hugs and kisses. Love birthdays.
-
Happy 4th birthday to your "baby" Kimmy! :-*
-
I am happy its Friday
-
Happy birthday Kimmy's baby! :D
November is a good month ;)
-
I am happy it's Friday and one of my work mates gave me a big jar of manuka honey worth $60
-
good one Yvette :)
-
Wow Yvette, that was really nice of your workmates :D
-
Moptop glad you can get some me time. :)
Obbie, so excited for you ;D ;D
Yvette, you must have nice work mates ;D
I am glad its Friday, DS is coming tomorrow for long weekend.
Marie
-
I hope you have a good time with DS, Marie :D
-
Thanks Amy :-*
Marie
-
Thanks girls and hope you all have a great weekend.
-
Its Friday :D
-
Happy here as its the weekend ;D
Have a good one everyone.
We know what you will be doing Robyn ;D ;D ;D
-
What's on your list of things to cook first Robyn? :)
-
I am happy it is Friday and tomorrow my DD is coming home to visit for a week. Unfortunately she is bringing her dogs but what can you do it is a package deal.
-
Yep, been there done that >:( Years ago when DD1 came home for Christmas with her 3 beagles, yes 3 of them running amok in our house. She went to the in-laws for one meal and because they have cats, I told her to leave the dogs with us. One went onto our bed and I growled at her and told her to get down. She growled back and showed me her teeth so I just said OK then, have it your way ;D I am smarter than she thought though so down to the kitchen to get some food (beagles cannot pass food up at any time) and this led to her following me down the passage and outside where the door was firmly slammed in her face and she was made to stay there until her 'Mum' came home. Beagles are now down to 1 and DD hasn't been home for years for Christmas.
-
It will be lovely to see her again and this time for more than a couple of hours. We will be baby sitting the dogs a bit becuase she has a few things to do in the city and her sister's unit is not big enough for a stumpy tailed cattle dog, a maltese shitzu cross and a blind cat.
The dogs aren't too bad. I can't blame them for their bad behavior it's not there fault they weren't raised right. ;)
It's a good thing she doesn't spend much time on here or I could be in trouble. :-))
-
Me too :D
-
Funny one Den.
My DH is happy that I am happy, and my benches are full...
-
Friday ... :D & Monday is a public holiday!! :D
-
No public holiday in Sydney
-
No public holiday for WA either :-))
Those beagles sound horrible Judy :( My mum has never liked beagles and I've never understood why, but that gives me a bit of a idea :P
I hope your DD's dogs behave for you Den ;)
-
no holiday here either
-

-
All your little cartoons are making me happy CP :D :-*
-
Beagles are quite OK Amy if you choose from the litter OK. This particular dog cowered in the corner when DD went to choose one and she felt sorry for it. Never choose a dog that cowers, choose the one who rushes up and wants to lick you to death. Her first beagle was a lovely dog but their food obsession can be a bit trying at times. You can't leave anything around, even on tables etc because they will get to it somehow.
-
I am a full time mum so no public holiday here!
Enjoy your weekend Den.
Enjoy your new machine Obbie.
Next dog was going to be a beagle, not now Judy. And to think they look so cute at the airport!
-
Hello, planning my cooking for tommorow

Yes, dogs seem to think with their stomachs don't they? My boxer and labrador are bad enough, I would hate to experience beagle begging! :o
What you said about dogs that cower - that explains something about my last dog, Murphy. The day mum went to pick a puppy from his litter she choose him because he just sat quiety in the corner while all the brown pups jumped up and wanted to play :-))
We had to have him put down a couple of years ago because he was too dangerous to take out. He was lovely and affectionate towards mum and I, but very few others :(
Kimmy, I want a husky x malamute for my next puppy ;D
-
That proves my theory then Amy - I always knew I was right ;D
-
Indeed it does Judy, I will keep it in mind when I go dog shopping for myself ;)
-
Think mine is going to be a Dalmatian now. Just not sure if it will be black on white or white on black???
-

They need an awful lot of walking kimmyh :)

I used to have a dalmatian. He was very energetic, but a friend had one that would run circles around him.
-

I bet dalmations laugh at us when we try to figure out which way the colours go :-))
I read that dalmations can be a bit aggressive.... :-\

I am cooking

I bet dalmations laugh at us when we try to figure out which way the colours go :-))
I read that dalmations can be a bit aggressive.... :-\
THey are more protective than aggressive. They were bred as carriage dogs. They would run alongside the carriage or between the horses and if highwaymen tried to attack the carraige the dogs would try to protect the occupants. Hence there stamina and protectiveness.
And they are black or liver spots on white. Dalmatian puppies are born white and develop there spots after a few weeks.
-
And they are black or liver spots on white. Dalmatian puppies are born white and develop there spots after a few weeks.
I should have remembered that from 101 Dalmations!! :-))
So the stamina and protectiveness would be why they were used commonly as firefighting dogs? ???
-
I am happy because the Apple store have replaced my phone. ;D DD took it with her to Perth and went into the Apple store for me. Now I just have to wait for her to get back on Wed.
-
Good news Den :)
-
thats good Den
-
Good to hear Den. :)
-
Yippee!! :D
-
I'm happy that I've filled 4 bags already. Aiming for 4 a day. 40 bags in 10 days.
-
Sounds good DFM :D
-
lalalalalala. Happy I can post small photos.. :) :) :)
-
Soooo good Obbie
-
Happy that I'm back on the forum, though there are 20 pages of threads that I haven't read! :o
We have had our 21 month old grandson staying with us for the past 9 1/2 days and so I have been flat out. Thoroughly enjoyed it though and hope it's not too long before he stays again (though maybe a bit shorter stay ;D )
Hope everyone is well. :D

Hi Julie!! I'm happy you're back too, I've missed your photos ;D
-
Thanks Amy, I've missed taking them. :D
-
Wondering where you were Julie? Thought you may be out cruising in the new car ;D
-
;D Yes I certainly didn't mind doing any errands in it. :D
-
And nor would I in such a great car.
-
:) :) :) :) all these new cars
-
;D happy happy happy!! i love this happy thread!! what else can you be when you look on this site and it screams adventurous ideas for the TM?!! i have just spent some time reading this "happy thread" and i think it is fantastic!! hap hap happy!!! :D
-
Happy my kitchen bench is full of my Thermy things.
-
Happy I'm chilling in our hotel room, was feeling really hot. :-[
i'd like to go and have a look around Garganis store which isn't too far from the city so might get a cab as I don't want to give up our good parking spot. I know if I drive it won't be there when I get back :-\ I'm functioning on less than 3 hours sleep so trying to work up the enthusiasm ;D
-
I hope you found some enthusiasm Julie ;D
;D happy happy happy!! i love this happy thread!! what else can you be when you look on this site and it screams adventurous ideas for the TM?!! i have just spent some time reading this "happy thread" and i think it is fantastic!! hap hap happy!!! :D
I'm glad you're enjoying the thread 85model :D :D :D
-
What made me smile today was that my daughter (4 and a 1/2) was helping me get tea ready. She came over to me and gave me a big hug and said "You're my best friend mummy!"
Oh, it was just so sweet and nearly made me cry!
I'm loving this happy thread!
-
That's beautiful blackwood, kids say such lovely things sometimes!! :D :D
-
That's just lovely Blackwood. Made me happy too. :)
-
Lovely, Blackwood. :-*
I love it when they say things like that.
-
Lovely, they grow up though.....
wish they stayed little
-
I am happy my husband doesn't need shoulder surgery :)
-
That's got to be a good thing, Yvette. :D
-
Great news Yvette!
-
Yes they do obbie...they'll be teenagers before I know it! :-\ I'm just treasuring this time when they're just so sweet (sometimes...when they want to be!!!)
that's great news Yvette...what did he do to his shoulder?
-
Fantasric news Yvette
I am happy because for the first time in 5 weeks I have actually felt happy inside.
H :)
-
Blackwood it has been sore for a while (can't remember doing anything specific) he had a MRI last week and went to the specialist yesterday will need physio in time, he said it was better to do nothing for a while and see how it goes, it's a frozen shoulder
-
Great news Yvette. Has he tried Bowen therapy for frozen shoulder, works well.
Blackwood, my kids think they are teenagers, there 7 & 8.
-
Robyn I was telling him about it, but the specialist said to wait for a while before he does anything
-
Ok Yvette, most specialists would not know what Bowen was any way.
Frozen shoulders are common.
-
Any other ideas Robyn?
-
DH had a frozen shoulder, lots of physio & exercises & was very careful.
H :)
-
Thanks Hally :)
-
swimming Yvette.
Can he moved his arm at all.
Bowen treatment only takes 1/2 hour to fix..
-
Robyn that's right the specialist said to swim - breastroke arms motion, yes he can move it but not properly thanks :)
-
swimming is properly the best exercise, as the water takes all the weight.
very gentle, but does help. :)
-
Lucky we have a pool in the backyard :)
-
I'm glad he doesn't need surgery Yvette :) Thats a very good reason to be happy!
-
Thanks Amy :) :)
-
surgery at a last resort :)
-
Yes Robyn :) :)
-
I'm happy my mum loves me and leaves her pretty roses on my desk :D :D :D
-
Lovely rose Amy. Lucky girl to have a great mum.
I am happy because thermie has helped me make three delish forum recipes from my to do list this week that were a big success and now regulars. :) :) :)
-
Beautiful roses Amy and how could your mum not love you;D
-

-
Oh they are beautiful roses Amy. You are lucky indeed!
What were the three new dishes that you made this week kimmyh? (I know the chicken and cashews was one of them, what were the other two?)

Chicken Kiev, Maddy's chorizo and capsicum risotto and new tweak on Baf's chicken. Hey that's four!
-
You are very lucky Amy.
Two glasses of shiraz and I am feeling very happy. ;D Must stop now. Early morning bike ride planned.

-
I hope your not going to cook your own dinner though ;D
-
Party for you Amy :) :) :)
-
I hope your not going to cook your own dinner though ;D
I probably will ;D
Robyn, would you believe I'm not really a party girl? :-)) ;D
-

I love the happy thread :)
-
So do I Robyn :D
Suzanne, I bet it is a beautiful little black dress ;D
I took a photo for everyone! I hope you like it. This is our cactus that sits just outside the back door :)
-
ROFL - I just read 'cactus' as 'cat' and was looking very carefully for a little bundle of fluff. Now I realise that i was supposed to be looking at a big bundle of spikes ;D ;D
Very adorable spikes though!!! ??? ???
-
Definitely not a cat Moptop! Unless it is a cat very cunningly disguised as a cactus.... ;)
Do you like his smiling face? ;D
-
Yes it's cute Amy.
-
Hope you have a great night out tomorrow in your little black dress Suzanne. Happy that we are counting sleeps on here!!!!
-
Thanks kimmy, really looking forward to it actually although DD isn't she doesn't like it when I'm not with her but grandma and pop will survive.....I hope ;D may even have a glass of wine or 2 since we're catching a taxi
-
What's the special occasion suzanne?
-
A friends engagement party at a lovely place on the river
-
Thanks, I thought it might have been something special for you and DH ;) Have a great night.
-
Have a lovely time Suzanne :)
-
Hope you have an excellent evening Suzanne!! :D
-
Have fun Suzanne. :)
-
Thanks ladies had a wonderful evening so nice to just be'me'for a few hours and take of my mum hat ;D
-
I hear you suzanne, i love being 'me'. Love being able to pick up my bag and walk out the door without having to worry about drinks and snacks and hand wipes etc etc etc :) :)
-
...but I bet they were alway in the back of your mind, Suzanne? :D
Great to hear you enjoyed yourself. :D
-
Glad you had a good time Suzanne! :D
My mum doesn't have a mum hat - she just has "in charge knickers" ;D
I'm happy that my winning streak at scrabble has continued and I beat mum for the fifth time in a row last night ;D
-
She might not want to play with you any more Amy.
-
Keep it up Amy - that's if she lets you keep playing with her!!! ;) ;D
-
Yes always astarra just a few txts to check in and my bag was so light moptop ;D
Yay Amy the scrabble queen and only 1 more sleep, have you decided if your going out to lunch?
14 More sleeps........
-
She just said "do you want to beat me again at scrabble tonight?" :-)) I don't know whether she is trying reverse psychology or admitting that she has taught me how to play scrabble very well ;D
Yay Amy the scrabble queen and only 1 more sleep, have you decided if your going out to lunch?
Thanks Suzanne, I should make myself a badge with "scrabble queen" on it! :D Yes, going to marron farm for lunch, mum has made a booking ;D
-
I have bossy boots, but like the idea of in charge knickers!
-
So do I, but I don't often get to wear mine :-))
-
Marron Farm for lunch sounds really nice Amy. Have a lovely birthday.
-
Thanks Vieve :D
-
Hi Amy, Which marron farm did you go to, I notice you are in the south west.
-
Hi 50+ ;D
I went to Nipper's Cafe. Are you in the south west too? :)
I'm very happy that my birthday has been wonderful :D I got very nice presents, lots and love and birthday wishes from my best friends, I saw my grandparents at lunch, we had really yummy food, and now I am at home pondering the endless possibilities of adulthood ;D
-
No We are in Mandurah, but there is a Marron farm not far from us on Mundijong Road and we have been talking about going there for years and thought that if you had gone, you might have been able to offer some comments. We don't each much seafood (or lake food, but our friends do.)
Glad you had a nice time.
-
Amy so glad you had a wonderful day and the possibilities in adult hood are endless, just remember to have fun along the way
Happy today because we had a wonderful weekend just chillaxing and eating with the family in this nearly summer weather, oh and 13 more sleeps ;D;D;D
-
I am happy as DH comes home tomorrow night :D
-
Great MF, happy its Monday, get some paperwork done today..
-

Thanks 50+ :) If you go to that Marron Farm before me, you'll have to tell me what it was like! But if I go before you then I will tell you what it was like ;D I'd go anywhere for delicious seafood!
Amy so glad you had a wonderful day and the possibilities in adult hood are endless, just remember to have fun along the way
Thanks suzanne, I will do my best to have fun :D
I am happy as DH comes home tomorrow night :D
Hooray MF!! :D :D :D And then you're leaving for your holiday :)
I'm really happy because I beat mum by 137 points at scrabble last night ;D My 7 letter word got me 87 points by itself ;)
-
Happy today cuz I have a wonderful DH and 3 wonderful daughters. :D
Glad your DH is coming home, MF, I hate it when mine has to go away. :-*
Amy the scrabble queen!!! ;D
-
That's the best reason in the world to be happy Astarra
Family is everything :D
-
12 more sleeps....... ;D
House is half cleaned and tidy
Dinner is on
The sun is shining
Everybody is healthy and happy

lovely weather today, nice and sunny, no rain.
started chrissie shopping,
planning a holiday..... :) :) :)
kids behaved this morning...
-
Happy I saved a ladybug :D
-
Where from Amy? :)
-
Under my ironing board astarra ;D I didn't want to step on the little fellow while I was already trying to focus on ironing and Mrs Brown's Boys at the same time :D
-
Fair enuf - which Mrs Brown's boys episode do you laugh at the most?? They are all sooooooooo funny! ;D
-
God they're hilarious! ;D I love them all, but I loved "Mammy's Going" when the family are talking about putting the dog in a home and Mrs Brown thinks they are talking about her :D :D
-
Yeah that was the first one I ever saw, It is sooooo funny! ;D
-
When I first saw an episode I didn't realise Mrs Brown was played by a man, so I thought she was just really unfortunate woman! :-)) ;D It is so damn funny though. And I can't believe so many of the cast are related!
-
It is hilarious as... Especially where that couple are in the cast and they are each other's enemy,but in real life they are married! :D
-
Absolutely LOL ;D And the kid who plays Buster is actually Mrs Brown's son in real life but she has to pretend to hate him! And some of the things they talk about.... man, I would be embarrassed to hear my parents talk about that stuff! :o :D
-
LOL ;D ;D
It is probably actually funnier (if that is possible) knowing the background story too!! :D
-
;D ;D ;D
Apparently that guy only played Mrs Brown because nobody else wanted to! :D
Have you got all the special features with the outtakes and extra scenes and jokes? ;D
-
Yep I think so - DH watches them so I just watch with him, not really for little ears tho!! :o
-
Nope, definitely not for the young and innocent ;D
Apparently there's another series coming out too :D
-
Happy I have booked a holiday. Kids and DH are happy too
Hopefully catch up with Gert again too. :)
-
10 more sleeps...........
House is clean and tidy, all the washing is done, about to head out to the shops and buy DS11 some more socks, how do they loose them so quickly and do the banking
-
Where are you going to on holiday Robyn and when?
Holidays are so rejuvenating :D
-
January again, 8 days at the beach
-
I would love to go on a holiday... I've only ever been on one :-))
-
We were going to go on a holiday but my sister and her kid's are coming here instead, where would you go Amy?
-
My first holiday I think would be a road trip around Oz to meet all my forum friends, Suzanne :D And I would also like to go to England and Ireland (both sides of my family are from over there) ;) I would love to see New Zealand because MF told me how beautiful it is :)
So there are three holidays that I'd love to go on some day :)
-
Still young Amy so plenty of time, my DD is planning an American adventure for next year since she loved her European one and since she survived I said okay;D
-
Thats true suzanne :D
Your lucky DD, how does she afford it?
-
She is working fulltime and she is very strict with her budget owns her car so apart from board, mobile phone and insurances she doesn't have any debts
-
She sounds like a smart, hardworking girl :)
-
Thanks Amy I think so xx
-
A message from my son ❤❤💗❤❤
-
Oh CP, that is lovely! :-*
-
That's really sweet. You must miss him.
-
What a lovely boy you have CP :D
Thanks Amy I think so xx
You must have brought her up very well suzanne :-*
-
CP thats lovely, they do surprise us sometimes.
Thanks Amy 1 down 3 to go;D
-
What a wonderful son you have CP.
Amy my DD1 is buying her unit, paying a car loan and still manages to save for holidays. She does it by working 2 jobs and being very strict with her budgeting.
If you have a goal and a plan you can achieve anything.
-
Nice one CP, especially from a son. Bet that made your heart melt.
-
CP these are the moments that make all the blood sweat and tears of raising a family worthwhile.
You know you have done a good job :D isnt it amazing how much 3 little words mean to us mum's :D
Very special.
-
Very special CP :)
-
Happy just now as my miss3 has just come up and given me a big hug - totally out of the blue- and said "you're the best mum ever- I love you." :D :D :D :-* :-* :-*
-
Thats gorgeous astarra :D :D :D
-
That's so cute astarra.
I'm happy cause its Thursday and tomorrow's Friday lol and it's the weekend again.
-
How lovely Astarra.
I am happy because I can finally have a big cook up today. :)
-
Can't read CP's message, how come everyone else can?
-
Zoom in on it and you should be able to.... :)
-
I enlarged it and used a magnifying glass, still very difficult to read but I got it Yvette. DS said
"Just want to let you know I love you"
-
Thanks Judy :) That is so nice CP
-
Happy now as every plate of food I have put in front of miss22mths for a whole week has been met with "ohhhh yum" and the lot eaten very quick smart. :D Just hope it lasts... :-))
-
He could be buttering me up for Christmas maybe ;)
Isn't that good to hear your little DD is enjoying your cooking astarra.
-
CP that is lovely, I have a couple of those on my phone, that will never be deleted. Very very special.
Marie
-
Happy now as every plate of food I have put in front of miss22mths for a whole week has been met with "ohhhh yum" and the lot eaten very quick smart. :D Just hope it lasts... :-))
Wow astarra, thats awesome! Keep up the yummy food and I'm sure it will last ;)
-
I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually happy my brother is home :)
-
that is amazing Amy
-
I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually happy my brother is home :)
LOL ;D
-
Wondered if I'd ever hear you admit that Amy. :D Is he home for good or just holidays?? :D
-
Just university break astarra. I'm sure I'll be sick of him by the time he has to go back LOL ;D
I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually happy my brother is home :)
LOL ;D
Nearly got caught in a discussion about the Japanese language last night MF :-)) I have no idea how I got out of it! ;D
-
LOL
I am really really happy ATM cuz (am I allowed to do a little bragging here?) ...I now have 0 kids in nappies, day or night! ;D ;D ;D 3 fully toilet trained daughters!! So so happy! My aim was to have miss22mths day trained by her 2nd birthday, but she has been dry at night too and wearing pants to bed as well as during the day! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
You've done well astarra, 22 months is very young to be fully toilet trained.
-
Thats great astarra! Well done! :D I bet it will make things a lot easier for all of you :D
-
Woohoo Astarra. That is a great job you have done. Brag away ;D
-
Well done Astarra! It's a great feeling when they're toilet trained! ;D
-
Well done Astarra. It is wonderful when you finally get the last one out of nappies.
-
My turn to brag now. I am happy because I won my first triathlon today. It was only the local Narrogin Tri but I won the individual long course veteran section. ;D
I have been second and third a few times; this year was finally my year.
-
Well done Astarra on the toilet training :)
And Den that's a great achievement :)
-
Well done DD you must be very happy to finally have won your first triathlon .
Congratulations ;D
-
Congratulations DD! Great achievement! ;D

-
Well done Den. Congratulations all the hard work paid off :)
-
Congratulations, DD!! That's a fabulous achievement - you've earned the bragging rights!!! ;D
-
Well done DD. I can only guess that it's a lot of hard work and effort to be able to get to this point. Congrats
Your Bragging rights are well earned
-
Congratulations Den... :D
-
That's great news DD- congratulations
-
Well done Astarra and congrats Den
-
well done Astarra, and den a win is fantastic...
-
5 More sleeps........,
the delivery man is due anytime now with some of my Christmas shopping, I really should start wrapping otherwise Santa gets a bit tired Christmas eve, when do you all wrap?
-
We wrap some things as we go or get them gift wrapped as we buy them but the bulk of the 'wrapping' is done in cloth bags made of Christmas material. DW' made them years ago when the girls were young.
After one Christmas she looked at the pile of paper that we had to throw away and thought it a waste. So she started buying different Christmas pattern material when they had it out cheap in January and over time she mad a range of different sized bags with draw strings.
It makes wrapping pretty easy. The girls still use them. When they come home on Christmas eve they go and select bags from pile of empties under the back of the tree.
-
4 sleeps Suzanne woohoo. I start wrapping after the tree goes up and just do the rest as I buy them.
-
Are you putting yours up on Friday Kimmy?
What a great idea that is DD, pity I have already bought oodles of paper :-))
I walk into my WIR and think dear lord I'll be here forever, I think I might start doing a bit each night it doesn't help that DD20 thinks she is still young enough to get the same as the little ones, she even hangs her stocking still and it still gets filled ;D, geez I love this time of year :D :D :D
-
Oops that should say 5 sleeps! Tree going up Saturday :)
-
We wrap as we buy :)
Den, tha bags are a great idea. It would save a lot of money and paper. I think I might do that :D
Not sure when or where we will put our tree up. Its a bit hard with renovations happening and stuff everywhere! :-))
-
Are you getting more room for all your presents, Amy? ;)
-
My sister and I still get mum to put our gifts from her in the Santa sacks we had as children. Been using them for 30 something years now and still love it. Brings back childhood memories.
-
Are you getting more room for all your presents, Amy? ;)
Yep, thats definitely it astarra! :D But I'm more excited about having a completely new kitchen than the extra room ;D
-
New kitchens are amazing - mine is 15mths old but I still think of it as a 'new' kitchen...could be due to the fact it is still not finished! :-))
-
new kitchen would be fun, but nothing wrong with my kitchen at all.
-
New kitchens are amazing - mine is 15mths old but I still think of it as a 'new' kitchen...could be due to the fact it is still not finished! :-))
I can't wait :D I know what you mean about it being unfinished.... our renovations have been in progress for probably about 8 years now! :-)) Why is yours taking so long? :)
-
Ummm cuz I want my splashback tiles siliconed so there is no grout to clean, and DH doesn't know how to do it but says he will be able to work it out. :D And also it took me over a year to find the perfect tiles! :) We repainted the whole house (except for laundry and bathrooms, they are next for a complete overhaul), made an arch between lounge and dining room into a bigger square walkway, new carpet thru where carpet goes, new drapes and a whole new kitchen. :D
-
Wow, that sounds great! :D I love the feel of new carpet under your feet ;D
Mum took a few months to decide on the perfect colour scheme and bench surfaces for the kitchen, so I can understand you with the tiles! ;D
-
Yep I love it too, and it is the first thing I feel when I get out of bed in the morning...still so nice! :D
-
Oooh, lovely... what colour is it? :)
-
A med-dark grey. :D The stuff we replaced was cream.
-
Light coloured carpets are awful, they show so much dirt :-)) Grey is a good neutral colour ;D
-
We went neutral with everything so when we find a bigger house to buy, it will be easier to sell this one. :D And it is so easy to dress up, everything matches! :D White and grey all thru. :D
-
Sounds lovely :D Our house is very awkward at the moment! :-))
-
Will all be worth it once it is finished tho - be glad you have TM to use while your kitchen is upside-down ...I got mine just after... :-))
-
Absolutely right astarra :)
I'm happy that I got most of the ironing and folding up done before mum got home :D Also happy that we replaced the pipe under the sink so it doesn't leak anymore ;)
-
4 More sleeps and DH caught a shark whilst fishing last night so fresh fish Friday night for dinner;D
-
Do you mark the sleeps off on your calendar too suzanne? ;D
Yummy yum yum, what kind of shark? :)
-
Sure do Amy and honestly I have no idea ::)
-
As long as it tastes good ;)
We were discussing the Christmas tree the other day... we still haven't decided what to do :-)) I can't wait to see a photo of your tree suzanne ;D
-
Oh Amy it's nothing to write home about the kids do most of it so it's usually a little crazy looking;D
-
It doesn't have to be flash suzanne :) Ours was always very basic but you could see how much care we put into our decorating. Its the fun and memories that count ;)
-
Yes and the Christmas card photo that gets taken on completion always a laugh
-
Love those Christmas card photos!! Always something to bring a smile to your face ;D
-
LOL - ours never get further than the camera! :D
-
hello
-
1 More sleep until we put our tree up, after family discussions we decided to do the inside Friday night and Saturday we do outside
Also have done a bit more christmas shopping so feeling a little more organised plus my house is spotless
-
Well done Suzanne.
-
Nice work suzanne, I wish I could say the same! ;D
-
Working on getting my house spotless too, suzanne! :D
Well done. ;D
-

Outside most are solar so hopefully tonight I can make sure they are all working;D
-
Lily sounds soooo cute. Xmas with kids is special :D
Hopefully no more storms in Perth Suzanne. DH td me it was really bad.
Lucky your outside decorations weren't up.
Heavy rain here tonight. :(
Can't wait to see everyone at home ;D

She is quite the miss;D
I am very glad I didn't do it last weekend the weather was horrid just like winter
I bet your kids and grandkids have missed you? But good to spend some time with your mum and recharge before Christmas and the new arrival;D
-
Sitting watching Santa paws 2 with the kid's and eating popcorn, life couldn't get much better;D
-
That sounds like fun Suzanne ;D
I love the Santa Clause with Tim Allen :D :D :D
-
Us too, they will be watched along with miracle on 34 th street, my all time favorite
-
Sorry but it is bragging time again. Today I found out that I was part of a 4 x 200m freestyle relay team that set a national record for the 160-190 combined age group in 2010. None of us knew. We found the confirmation certificatein our club rooms while looking for working stop watches.
I am stoked. ;D
-
Well done DD. You've been champions for a couple of years and didn't know it. :)

-
What a great find DD, pity someone forgot to tell you at the time though.
-
The Lego calendar gave DS17 the funny creature with the floppy ears which I later rescued before the cat fed it to the cavoodle puppy. I'm happy because I've done the two runs to take kids to work and I'm now relaxing with a chai tea.
-
Great Den, brag away.... :) :) :) a hero

Close call Amy, all good for experience

For me maybe, not for the poor doggy :(

No, not a bird from Mandi. Although I would love the cockatiel that she named after me ;D
Its an 8 week old hand reared cockatiel from Perth. A friend of mine is picking it up for me and bringing it back down :D :D :D
Never mind, I had fun while the secrecy lasted :-))

Yes don't want him to get his head stuck lol.
Now you have to come up with a name, any ideas?
-
Yeah, the name..... I'm not sure yet.... I don't know whether its a boy or a girl :-))
-
That's why my birds name is Billy :) boy or girl it doesn't matter :)
When I see a pic of your bird I might be able to give you a better idea on how to tell if its male or female once it reaches 6 months of age :)
-
Didn't you find out the gender at your scan Amy ;)
-
Charlie is cute and unisex
-
I like Tory for boy or Tori for girl. :)
-
Didn't you find out the gender at your scan Amy ;)
LOL ;D
Thanks Mandi, I will be posting lots of photos!!
Charlie or Tori.... they are both very cute names :D

Go Kimmy!! Congratulations!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
Well done Kimmyh! Yay!!!!!! ;D ;D
-
Congratulations and well done Kimmy, I remember being in a winning grand final team at table tennis years ago. It is such a thrill especially if you haven't played much sport throughout your life like me.
-
Congratulations Kimmyh ;D
-
Go Kimmy!
Well done :D
-
How exciting Kimmy, that's great news :)
-
Thank you girls. I have played with this team for almost ten years now and we have made many grand finals in that time and just couldn't win one. most of the time we would lose by only one or two goals and even drew once only to lose in extra time. For some reason this year our luck has changed as we one the summer season grand final earlier in the year and now this one. Back to back makes all our hard work feel so worth it.
-
Time for a glass of bubbly ;D
-
Oh wow Kimmy, that is an even more special win. Lots of celebrating for your whole team then. ;D
-
Definitely an extra special win Kimmy :D You must be chuffed ;D
-
Well done Kimmyh. Congratulations! :D

Congratulations Kimmyh. :)

Enjoy the carols Mich :D
I used to love playing the carols by candlelight :)
Were you part of the orchestra at carols Ames?
-
I certainly was Mich ;D We used to have carols by candlelight at Middleton Beach. We played carols and Christmas songs and there were singers and other performers. The spectators brought picnic rugs or camping chairs and they sat with candles to light up the beach. Last year we had close to 300 people there, it was amazing. And they all sang along to the songs :D
-
Ooooohhhhhh, how lovely. You are such a talented young lady. :)
-
Awww, shucks ;D Thanks Mich :D :D :D
-
On the seventh day of Christmas the Lego calendar gave with luck.....a mini remote control fire truck!

I'm Happy Happy Happy today because I have finished all the Christmas shopping :)
-
have a nice trip Jen
mandi very jealous, I am trying so hard to finish my shopping but it seems never ending::)
-
Geoff was good today, only 1 problem - hasn't used his bowels since coming home from hospital, 4 days now so I hope he doesn't end up back in there with the same problem.
-
oh no Judy, I hope things get moving so Geoff doesn't have to go back into hospital xxx
-
Judy, that's no good, particularly over a weekend. Hopefully, things will be on the move tomorrow, so to speak.
I wish I'd finished my Christmas shopping like Dede, but DD was home sick again, and I've only got one shopping day left before school breaks up.
DH Is happy today because his Christmas pressie to himself arrived today- a new phone. ;)
-
hope your DD is better soon ES, my ds had 3 days of this week which put me behind schedule, had to do bigw online ::)
-
I might be doing the same thing as DS has just come out complaining of a headache and a sore tummy. I may lose my only kid free day!
-
not the best timing, although it was nice and easy shopping from my couch, apparently the shops are crazy, I haven't been for over a week
-
Have a great time in Tassie Jen ;)
-
At the airport waiting to board plane.
-
Hope you have a great trip Jen :)
-
On the 8th day of Christmas the Lego calendar gave to me......a wall, ski racks, poles and skis!

This might be a strange reason to be happy... but I found some really delicious-smelling honey and apricot soap ;D
Doesn't matter how Amy, just as long as you are happy? But don't eat it!

Kimmy you are doing extremely well with your rhymes but still so far to go. Come on, you can do it 8)
-
about to make something now, maybe slices for work. Dinner tonight and tomorrow is sorted.. :) :) :)
Love my kitchen
-
A mother passing by her son's bedroom, was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, and everything was picked up. Then, she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, 'Mum.'
With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and, with trembling hands, read the letter...
"Dear, Mum. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid scene with Dad and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercings, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion, Mum. She's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!
Don't worry Mum, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your many grandchildren.
Love, your son, Joshua
PS. Mum, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table.
;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D . . .love it!! Thanks, JulieO!
-
:D :D :D Had no idea where it was heading. Good one Julie.
-
Very clever Julie, thanks for the laugh :D :D :D
-
Well done Julie. Needed a laugh today and you did it ;D

Good one Julie :D ;D
Jen, what a beautiful view your MIL has. :) Looks like a beautiful day there also

Happy because it's actually hot like a summers day should be, healthy all round, nearly finished my Christmas shopping but not so happy that there aren't enough hours in the day, I pop on here to have a quick look and too many pages to look through, so much to do and I'll probably miss something on here :-))
-
Thanks suzanne :)
Glad you are enjoying your summer day. I had noticed you weren't on this morning ;)
-
:-[ really Amy am I that predictable?
DS11 informed me that he needed candy canes and small chocolates for school this morning so after a very quick trip to iga and getting home before 9am for my groceries to be delivered and that takes forever putting away (wish they did that too) I haven't had time to sit but just taking 30 minutes to gather my thoughts and then back to it
-
Not predictable suzanne, I just checked you profile page ;D
Why is it that boys only tell you things at the last minute? :-))
I'm just happy that the delivery driver brings all the groceries inside! :D
-
Just did all my christmas groceries on line, saved $150, and free delivery.
Glad the delivery driver has to carry them all upstairs for me...
-
Bargain Robyn well done. Not many more sleeps til the big day Suzanne. You will get there.
-
15 sleeps to be exact kimmy ;D
I love having it home delivered too because he brings it all inside and pops it on my bench for me, close call this morning though thanks to DS 2 minutes longer and I would of missed him :-))

I am happy today because according to the paper I ma having a 4 star day. ;D I don't really believe it.
-
LOL Den, what star sign are you? ;D I hate that you never get a five star day! :-))
-
I am an Aquarius Amy. You would think that as a water sign I might be a better swimmer than I am. ;D
-
Way too cute Astarra. Hope you are feeling better. Gee I must be a glow worm ;D
-
;D;D;D kimmy the glow worm, too funny
-
LOL Den! You must be a very good swimmer because you and your team set a national record, remember? ;D
Clicker is sitting on my keyboard watching me type this reply, and he keeps trying to bite the letters and they appear on the screen :D :D :D
-
Amy, Den must have forgotten about his record.
-
I don't think Den would forget that Robyn!! ;D
-
I didn't forget about the record but there were three other people on our team. They probably carried me. ;)
-
Yeah right Den :-)) ;D
-
Modest DD :D
-
Happy that my brother and his partner have set a date to get married. They have been engaged for 22yrs :o
When I told my children they didn't realise that they weren't married. :D

Wow Mich, 22 years! :o :o :o About time they set a date! :D
-
oooh what fun..
-
It will be fun, I get to make the invitations. :D
-
Great news Mich - wow 22year engagement!! :o
-
I think they have run out of excuses. The house is paid off. They drive really nice cars. Have climbed to the top with their careers - mind you didn't have the interuption of children although they are the very loved and adored Uncle and Aunty.
They live in Western Sydney and plan to get married on a paddle steamer on the Hawkesbury. 8)
-
That's sounds like a nice wedding Mich will you be bridesmaid?

-
That's sounds like a nice wedding Mich will you be bridesmaid?
My SIL to be has a very wide circle of friends and I think they will just have witnesses, not a bridal party as such.
I'm happy just to make the invitations. :)
-

-
Uh oh Kimmy!
That sounds like my stove about 10 minutes ago ;D
Hope it's all ok Amy. What are you going to do for dinner now?
-

-
I am very happy as I received something special in the mailbox just now, beautifully wrapped in my favourite colours. ;D

On the 15th day of Christmas the Lego calendar gave to us....a fireman's coat rack and mask.
-
happy i am on here
-
Happy it is Saturday, home alone with no car so forced to stay home and do just what I want to for a change!!! Have to brave the shops later.
-
Happy as I have just taken DH for a walk to Mum's via the bakery for pies & spring rolls for lunch plus some extra goodies for Mum's freezer for her for later. Cooler here today so it was nice out walking/pushing and is the first time DH has been anywhere for more than a month (apart from his trip to hospital). On the way back home we called into the Bali shop and bought a few bits and pieces for the grand-kids plus a picture for my bedroom of my favourite flower - frangipani.
-
I love frangipani flowers too Judy, they smell beautiful :D
It sounds like you and Geoff had a nice outing :)
-
Great news that you are and Geoff got out today for lunch with your Mum and a bit of shopping.
It is a nice cool day here in Adelaide today, perfect for a walk.
-
Glad you went for a walk Judy.
its 12 Klms here before you find anything, so no walking to anywhere.
30 Klms to the shops.
I love Frangipani's too
-
It was nice girls, only a 7 minute walk to the shops and Mum is 2 minutes further on. The Balinese shop only recently opened next to the bakery and they have some lovely stuff in there, water features, pots etc. This is my picture, haven't hung it yet.
-
sounds like a nice day Judy ;D
happy to see my sister and nieces and nephews, four years is a long time had a great day out yesterday but 14 people at adventure world can be a little stressful at times, forever doing head counts
-
You're right there suzanne, so hard to keep track of everyone. Where's Adventure World, if that's on the Gold Coast, I've not been to that one or even heard of it for that matter.
-
no just a fun park in WA Judy, water slides and rides that sort of thing big enough for someone to get lost ::)
-
Lovely picture Judy.Very nice to wake up to each morning :)
-
Suzanne I used to hate that. One time at the zoo I gave a trainee 5 children to mind. At lunch time they excitedly told me how one had fallen into the elephant enclosure and had to be hauled out. Needless to say, after lunch she didn't have any children to mind.
I dreaded it the most when water was involved. You were brave.
-
brave or stupid it's a fine line, but they were all very good. my nephew is 4 and very literal I said to him stop here and we'll wait for every one only problem he didn't follow when we all started walking off head count after 20 steps, one missing, turn around and he's still in the same spot after that he held my hand the whole time ::)
-
That's very cute Suzanne ;D

Lovely picture JD.
On the 16th day of Christmas Amy needs to deck the halls......got a Lego minifigure throwing snowballs!
Hurry up and put your tree up Amy :D
-
Cute Suzanne - but frustrating...my miss3 is like that, so literal!!
Tell her to hop into bed...she will hop all the way to her room then stand by her bed hopping trying to hop high enough to get in.
Tell her to pull her socks up (as in behave) ...she pulls her socks up (or says she has none on!!)
Tell her to run and (whatever) ...she will run and (whatever)
Tell her to behave...she will say "what is a hayve, and how do I be one?" :-))
etc etc etc!!
-

Glad you enjoyed the concert MF. The grand baby can come now ;D

Apart from xmas day ;)
-
I went to see the Rolling Stones when I was twelve.All I can remember about the experience was the continual screaming,never heard a word of the songs :D :D :D
-
I always wanted to see them when I was young CC. I remember standing at the junction of two dual carriage ways going from Glasgow to Edinburgh when I was in first year high school waiting to see their limos driving past as they had performed in Glasgow and were going onto Edinburgh. Stood for hours but caught a climpse and I was euphoric. ;D
Saw them here years ago and I was on a high for weeks ;D
-
Yay, requested a beach front unit in busselton & yes we have oe at no extra charge. Excited about our 2 weeks away.
Busselton is near Margaret River for those who went on the retreat :)

Last week in the shopping car park I saw a parked car that had somehow ended up sideways parked and had hit another car. No occupants in either. I took some photos with my mobile, and then went off to report to centre management. When I came back, the offending car had gone - and hadn't left a note! Driver comes back and gets a real shock with us standing there looking at the damage. Heard from her today to say that she just had to pay an insurance excess of $450 to get her car fixed but she will get it refunded. The photos had licence plate details and showed the positioning of the cars. Police will be able to trace offenders details from this and I would love to see this persons face when they realise they didn't get away with it ;D ;D ;D I felt like a busy body, but what the heck.
-
Cream puff, I love you for that,,
:) :)
Just imagine if it was your car hit, and no note
-
Well done CP, in this day and age people can't get away with a lot.
-
Great work CP :) You weren't being a busy body either, you were being an honest citizen. I'm sure the lady whose car was damaged is very grateful to you :-*
-
Good on you CP. Makes me >:( when people don't own up to damage.
-
Well done CP.
-
Good on you CP.
I would be devastated if someone had crashed into my car and not left their contact details.
-
Well done CP,
Having a little giggle here, one letter on my laptop wont work its the letter in on the lower row that's in the middle of v and n, I have to rely on spell check and sometimes it just doesn't show the word I want, try typing a post and not using this letter, gets tricky. :D luck I also have an ipad that I can use too.
-
Reminds me on Saturday whilst cleaning windows I got a text message, and as I replied I got water on the phone on the "s" key. It went haywire and kept going "great *ss ssssssssss great sex sssssssssss" over and over as the dictionary went into overtime with all the most embarrassing words. I just ended turning it off as it was having a Tourette's moment ;D
-
CP that is funny LOL 😄
-
Trying to be happy!!! But maybe a bit down?? Having trouble "adapting" to the phase of parenting late teens/ young adults DDs are 15 17 and 19. Middle DD turns 18 on Xmas eve. They no longer want to be with us, have other plans for Xmas day ( well two of them do) and no longer want to come on family holidays. I should be happy for them as the two eldest both have boyfriends so they re happy.
I knew this day would come but I am finding it a bit hard making the transition. Anyone have any tips?
-
i wouldn't say much, only that you are really going to miss seeing them on the day/have them share lunch/see all the rellies. Its their decision and Im sure they really want to be with you more than anything. Its only one day, perhaps if they don't change their mind why not arrange for them to come around either Chrissy eve or Boxing Day. Its just one day of the year, and the less said the better I reckon.
Holidays, well that happens as they get older. Just think on the bright side that you don't have to cook for so many people, and you can go out for a meal or two. One day you'll all be together on a holiday, but the days when you had them with you all the time are probably a thing of the past for a while.
-
It's the 18th day of Christmas and I've made my egg nog....got a fire hydrant and Lego dog :)
-
Good one Kimmy :)
-
thanks kimmy not too many more ;D
my life at the moment is chaos, don't have much time to get on here but I am reading just not a lot of posting,
7 more sleeps........
-
Hope you're still finding a little bit of time for yourself amongst all the chaos Suzanne :-*
-
Happy happy happy...I think I would burst if I got any happier!!! ;D
-
LOL ;D Can you wait until the 24th of June before you burst, Astarra? :D :D :D
-
;D ;D ;D
-
Happy that my sister in law loved her hamper ;D
-
LOL ;D Can you wait until the 24th of June before you burst, Astarra? :D :D :D
LOL!! Hopefully around then sometime...bit scarey as they have all got earlier in their arrival, but I wouldn't want any earlier than Miss23mths was - she was 3 weeks early (and tiny!!) 5lb3oz. :o
-
happy, the happy thread is happy :)
-
I'm happy for the happy thread too Robyn :D

Hopefully he/she won't take after the girls in that regard! ;)
Happy that my sister in law loved her hamper ;D
How could she not DJ? Your hamper gifts looked wonderful! :D :-*
-
The 14th of June is a good time to burst Astarra ;D

Oh GHM, this must be so hard! I can't imagine a time when my boys don't want to spend Xmas day with me!
But I do remember that when I was your DDs ages, I missed a couple of Christmases with my family too. I was traveling, living in other states or had 'better offers'!!
If its any consolation when they start to have children of their own, they will come running back to you and will need you more than ever. They are just starting to experience their independence and it's fun and exciting. In a couple of years, after life has wearied them a little, the comfort of coming home for Christmas is like no other. For me, it was a phase that lasted 7 years or so, but now I make sure we see my parents every Christmas even though we live interstate.
I guess it's just remembering that 'this too shall pass' and eventually your adult children will want to come home for Christmas.

-
Great Judy
-
Great news Judy.
I will be happy at 5.15pm tonight when I leave work and don't have to come back to the office until 7th Jan. This week has been busy & stressful and I can't wait for it to be over.
-
On the 20th day of Christmas the bubbly started to flow.....got a wheelbarrow, shovel and snow :D
-
Was the wheelbarrow full of bubbly Kimmy? ;D
-
I'm happy because my Aunty arrived from the UK today and she is one of the most lovely people in the world :) I'm loving the rhymes Kimmy :)
-
Yay! I found my fitbit !!! I'm so happeeeeeee
I also needed to make some vege stock the other day, but couldn't find my normal stock jar. I knew I had washed it but it was no where to be found. Found today in the oven (that's right, I was sterilising it :-)))
Now I'm waiting to see what I did with the dog food the other night ...
-
I'm happy because I have around 4 hours until I'm on holidays yippee!
-
Was the wheelbarrow full of bubbly Kimmy? ;D
No just snow. Would only be a thimble full of bubbly to fill it very small ;D
It's the 21st day of Christmas and I feel mighty fine.....got emergency beacons and a hazard sign :D
-
Very good Kimmy :D :D

That's great Amy :)
-
I'm happy that the Christmas pudding is done, 11 jars of relish and I'm organized for Christmas :)
-
Great news Amy.
Well done dede.
-
I'm happy because I just finished putting the final tile on my mosaic pot - now it just needs to dry for 24hrs before I grout it. I think my mum might be getting it as a christmas present after all.
-
Yay! Well done VMS.Your Mum is going to love it ;)
-
Awesome work Vieve! I bet it will look fantastic :D
That reminds me of the mosaic pot I made for my nana and grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. It wasn't as neat as yours! ;D
-
Well done VieveMS and with time to spare :D
-
I'm happy I just finished my Xmas shopping, just need to do the supermarket shopping tomorrow morning.
Love the pot VSM will we see a photo of it finished.
-
Thanks CC, Kimmy and Amy, I am glad it is now almost finished. It was my first ever mosaic project but maybe not my last. Next time I will do something on a flat surface as some of the curves of the pot proved challenging. Once it grouted I will post a photo of the finished product.
Amy, that is great that you made a pot for your nana and grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. Have you got a photo to share?
-
Jen, I am jealous of the fact that you have finished your christmas shopping. I am struggling this year.
-
Does Mum know of this pot's existence Vieve or is it going to be a complete suprise? So glad you have almost finished it. The grouting would be the easy part I would think.
-
I saw the photo you posted on another thread Vieve, and it certainly didn't look like a beginner's work! Well done again :D
I think I can probably find a photo of the pot I made :)
-
Happy that my mum got the new job she applied for ;D ;D ;D
That is great news Amy. ;D
-
Happy that my mum got the new job she applied for ;D ;D ;D
Awesome news Amy ;D I thought she would get it
-

-
Happy all the shopping is done.

Pool heater is now installed this morning...
Kids loved their big pressie yesterday. :) :) :)
-
I'm happy as I just had a lovely chat with my SS recipient! ;)
I'm also happy with my lovely new book from my SS ( I wonder if they will let me know who they are...) ;D
-
I am happy because I went for a run around the bridges in Perth this morning wearing a Santa hat and got lots of smiles, merry Christmas cheers and even got sung at. ;D
-
LOL Den, good on you!! I wish I could have seen that :D :D
I'm happy as I just had a lovely chat with my SS recipient! ;)
I'm also happy with my lovely new book from my SS ( I wonder if they will let me know who they are...) ;D
I'll tell you if they don't Katie ;D
-
this made me laugh!,
DD is sitting with her lap top and says " hey what's the best app to make a pie chart?" Just before I could reply " I'd use Excel" my dH called out " the thermomix" we laughed DD said....at least he is coming round to the thermomix!,
-
LOL Den, good on you!! I wish I could have seen that :D :D
I'm happy as I just had a lovely chat with my SS recipient! ;)
I'm also happy with my lovely new book from my SS ( I wonder if they will let me know who they are...) ;D

Are you allowed to do that Amy ???
-
Well done den did someone get a photo?
-

I'm also happy with my lovely new book from my SS ( I wonder if they will let me know who they are...) ;D
I'll tell you if they don't Katie ;D
Are you allowed to do that Amy ???
I dunno, we've been making up the rules as we go along ;D
-
:D :D Because it is almost Christmas I almost left some errant comments in the Photos Only thread but my mean streak kicked in and I deleted them so, that rule Amy, I stuck to until the end.
-
Well done Judy, I was wondering earlier if you would delete them! ;D
-
I can't believe how often I posted on there myself - only to be told by others about it. I finally got the message :D :D
-
hhahahahahaha
-
On the 24th day of Christmas it's my final calendar day......got Santa Claus sitting in his sleigh.

well done kimmy you did a wonderful job only 12 months and you can do it again ;D

-
Good work Suzanne :)
I'm happy that I have the chocolates done, the pasta salad done, the ice cream done, the cake done, the potatoes cooked, the prawns defrosting in the fridge and the turkey in the oven :D
-
geez Amy you've done a lot, you'll sleep well tonight, wishing you and your family a very wonderful Christmas xx
-
Well done Amy. All that's left to do is have a good sleep well done.
-
Thanks ladies :-* Wishing you both a very merry Christmas too :)
-
Well done Kimmh, you made it! :D
I am happy that it is Christmas eve and I am with my family.

I've had a lovely day ,helped my DD get things ready for tomorrow and just had a lovely evening with my lovely neighbors, I hope everyone has a restful nights sleep. Good night.
-
couldn't of said it better myself DD xxx
-
That's certainly something to be happy about Den. Have a lovely Christmas.
Ditto AB. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight ;D
-
I'm happy that my mini cheesecakes are looking fantabulous (thanku Johnro again and again for this ripper recipe). I'm also happy that once upon a time many years ago I actually saw Santa's lit up sleigh going across the skyline from the windows of our beach house. We used to leave all the doors wide open because there was no chimney so he could find his way to our tree. I feel sorry that Santa probably didnt know where to put the presents cos we haven't put our tree up this year, but he must have come early to Grinches whilst I went to the toilet cos there is a big pile of pressies in the lounge room. Yay! how did that happen ;)
-
Merry Christmas, CP . . . .Santa certainly times his visit to the nth degree!! ;D ;D Hope you have a wonderful day. . .
-
Happy that I just had a lovely lunch with my family and they all enjoyed the food I made :D
-
Happy that I am about to have mine now.
-
Happy happy that we had a lovely day. Wish I could capture my boys smiles and excitement from today forever :)
-
Happy...just cuz! :D
-
Happy...just cuz! :D
Love it :D :D :D
-
Happy cos the rubbish man came today and now we have some space in the bins
-
Happy because all DDs will be here today for lunch, then we are all going to see Les Miserables at the cinema.
-
Have fun GHM :)
-
That sounds like fun GHM. We have been banned from seeing Les Miserables and the Hobbit until DD2 gets down from up north.
The girls have given us a family day for Christmas. They are taking us to lunch in Bunbury on Jan 2 followed by a movie and then finishing off with a family photo session with a photographer we used to work with years ago.
-
How lovely DD. What a thoughtful gift. :)
-
Happy I am home. lovely to see my family, But better to be home again.. ;D ;D ;D
-
Happy that the madness of Christmas is over! Looking forward to a new year, new start :)
-
I am looking forward to the new year, new beginnings, for us.
here is to 2013. :)
-
Happy I have lots of time to have cuddles in bed with my boys. No need to be anywhere :)
-
Thats lovely Kimmy :D I still love cuddles ;D
-
;D
-
Not so happy .....but there is not a thread for that and I dont want to sound negative......but.....DD just got a facial piercing!!yuk I hate them!! teenagers GGGRRRrrgg
-
Can understand your feeling GHM, I hate them too.
-
I'll third that notion! Piercings really irk me :-X I don't even have my ears pierced!
-
Oh dear GMH where was the piercing?
-
I hope she didn't get snake bites... :-X
-
Oh GHM I hate them too.
-
Just for you GHM ;D

-
OMG!!!!!
-
Ghm ... I feel for you.... !!!! I can't even face ear piercings !!! :(
-
OMG x 2!!!!
-
Julie!!! :o I nearly had a fit when I saw that photo! :-))
Thats not your son is it? ;D
-
Hi ladies, nothing so radical, it is on her lip!! i am hoping the novelty wears off quick!! who is that pierced and tattooed man???
-
A lot of piercings are just holes, and if you take out the piercing the hole closes over (except if you've used a stretcher) in which case you're left Iike a Bassett hound with stretched bits of skin.
I have 3 kids DS24, DS 22 and DD 19. I figure some piercing and / or weird haircuts is the least I have to worry about. Many families struggle with teenage children with drug issues or mental health problems so I figure a few bits of metal are nothing compared to the trauma and heartache some go through. At least mine are all in one piece ! And my heart goes out to those whose kids are struggling in the world.
A dear friend of mine's DD died age 11 from cancer so never experienced any of the things we fret over.....
Be careful what you wish for.
-
So true Bonsai.
Hopefully the novelty will wear off GHM. My son nearly 23yrs had quite a few piercings but has taken all of them out now. He has tattoos as well but not on his face. My DH has lots of tattoos including some traditional Maori ones done with a bone when he was a teenager. He also has his ear pierced twice but took 1 out when he turned 50s and is considering taking the other one out. I hope he doesn't. :)
-
Julie!!! :o I nearly had a fit when I saw that photo! :-))
Thats not your son is it? ;D
No Amy, just a photo I found on the net a while ago. ;D
-
Thank goodness Julie ;D
Mich, I'm amazed your son took all his piercings out. I thought the teen and young adult years were when these trends were most popular? Maybe I'm behind the times ;D
Your DH's traditional Maori tattoos sound very interesting. I can't imagine how they would have been done with bone?
-
He is over the piercings Amy, unfortunately can't get rid of the tatts that easily. They are only on his upper arms though. One very small one on his upper chest, that I love - EST. 1990 - in a lovely script. :)
I'm someone that wears very little jewellery and I don't have any piercings - not even my ears - love seeing it on other people.
-
One very small one on his upper chest, that I love - EST. 1990 - in a lovely script. :)
That sounds very cute ;D
I don't wear much jewellery either Mich, only very special pieces that friends or family give me :D
-
It is Amy.
Not much into piercings myself but would love DH to put his second earing in. Like tatts on other people too.
-
I am happy today as it's my Grand-daughter's 8th birthday and my dear SIL has offered to come and sit with Geoff so that Mum and I can go down there to join in the family lunch with the in-laws.
-
Have a lovely day JD, enjoy your time with you family.
-
I have to say I don't like piercings other than ear piercings and I really dislike tattoos. I wasn't allowed together my ears pierced until I turned 21 even although I was married the year before LOL. Got them pierced on my 21st birthday.
I love jewellery so earrings were a must :)
My eldest DD and one DIL both have small tattoos on their ankles. All my DD's and eldest 2 GD's have eir piercing and both my DD's had nose studs in their late teens much to our horror. However we said nothing and both took them out within a month or 2.
GD 17 now has one on her nose but rarely has it in as not allowed at work thankfully.
I agree with Bonsai and if that's the worst that tey do then we are very lucky as so much worse can arrive on our doorstep.
So don't stress GHM as the novelty wears off.
Hope you have a lovely time with your family JD and a very happy birthday to your little GD. ;D

Happy that DD2 arrived home safely yesterday. :) I always worry about her driving between Newman and Narrogin. :-[
Also happy that we went for a run together this morning. :) She took her dog with us. It was fun, though she hasn't run for a couple of weeks and struggled a little toward the end.
-
I'm happy as my kindle paper light is on its way to me hopefully it will be here next week.
-
have a great day JD
-
happy listening to spotify, can anyone comment on whether they have standard or premium version and is it worth the monthly fee?
-
Have a nice day Judy
-
I'm so happy that DH and I are on holiday together. Enjoyed having dinner together - it doesn't happen very often as DH works evenings/nights.
-
Thats lovely Mich! Enjoy :D
Happy that we have air conditioning ;D
-
Happy that we have air conditioning ;D
Gosh I'm happy that we have evaporative cooling here and it's only 30ish today....don't think I could cope with temps much higher than that!
I'm happy it's 2013 and I have had a great week or two spending time with family :)
-
I missed the comments girls, sorry. Yes it was nice to see GD on her birthday and among other things, DD did Nico's Bourbon Ribs - they went down a real treat, must do them myself. I found the recipe here (http://catecancook.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/bourbon-ribs.html) if anyone is interested in trying them and hasn't got Nico's TMX booklet or his book Cooking Passions, Food for Friends which has a few TMX conversions in it.

Happy i am home relaxing

Just received the best phone call - Disability Services have agreed to supply us with a shower person 3 times a week and a sitter for 3 hours a fortnight to enable me to get out and do some jobs or just meet a friend for lunch ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Happy, happy, happy Judy.
-
That's wonderful news, JD . . . it will make quite a difference I should think!! :D
-
That brilliant Judy! I'm so happy for you :-*
-
That's great new JD so happy for you.
-
Thats great news Judy
-
Great news Judy. You definately deserve a break. Even to just go to a cafe and have a cuppa in peace.
-
Wonderful news JD! ;D ;D
-
that's wonderful Judy xxx
-
Woohoo Judy great news so happy for you
-
Excellent news Judy ;D
A little bit of a break you really need and deserve.
-
Awesome news Judy. I'm happy for you too!! :-*
-
Thanks girls, I was so excited by the news earlier that I felt sick :-)) I've settled down now though and looking forward to this happening from the 9th January.
-
That's wonderful news Judy :) :)
-
Wow Judy that's superb news.I'm happy that your happy ;D
-
Now what else Can we get Judy :)
-
I'm happy to get this much Robyn, it will make a big difference. He did tell me to get in touch if I found it wasn't enough down the track. A friend of my SIL has told her Geoff should be put in a nursing home - Geoff would be happy she isn't his wife ;D
-
Awesome news Judy. I am so pleased for you.
-
Thanks again everyone. It's been a long, hard road to get it. The last time this man was in our house he told me they couldn't help us until I did my back in >:( It took some advice given to him by an Occupational Therapist from the MS Society for him to change his mind but even then he waited until I rang him - he didn't make contact with me yet he had known about our current needs for a couple of months.
-
Sound like someone who unfortunately doesn't quite grasp the scope of the job he has :(. Good on you Judy for persevering ... !!
-

Great news JD :). I found when I needed them with our special needs foster child, you had to push & push, worth the effort though :). They have budget, if you push.
:)
-
:-* :-* :-* yay!
-
Wonderful news Judy :)
-
Judy should this guy really have his job.
The funding is there, if you know where to look or push. :)
Geoff is much better at home with you, and a bit of help. Which is what you are entitled too, and need.
If you need more help, I would tell him.
-
Happy that its Tuesday :D
Also happy that my nana is now a great great nana!! ;D ;D
-
Also happy that my nana is now a great great nana!! ;D ;D
Wow, Amy!! That's phenomenal!! Congratulations all round!!!! :D A boy or girl?

Thanks GF! We're so excited ;D It's a little boy, but poor nana can't remember his name ;D
It's funny having second cousins who are older than me :-))

Missed this. That is fantastic news Judy. Showering is a big, heavy job.
-
Somehow I always end up wet Cookie but the shower girls don't :-)) OK in summer but not looking forward to it in winter.
-
Rule No 1 - do not give the shower hose to the pt - you will always end up wet.
-
:D :D I soon woke up to that one ;)
-
Very occasionally I disregard this rule - I always end up wet. >:(
-
This is the first time I have entered this thread .
Judy I love that you are happy to receive this help. Me too.
Gert
-
Fantastic news Judy :)
It will great for you having a few hours to yourself in the knowledge that Geoff is in good hands
-
That's is brilliant Judy, make it so much easier for you and your back :)
-
Great news Judy
-
Glad to hear that you will be getting a little more help Judy.
-
Where you get eggs in the supermarket there is a button kids can push to hear a clucking chook. Yesterday I had to laugh there was a little boy continuing to press the button pretending to be a chook. He was in his own little world.
-
I wonder if he has ever seen a real chook CP?
Thanks girls, it's not much but to me it's a lot of help for now.
-
Any help at all is a real bonus .
Gert
-
CP I must look for that button. It would have been fun to see.
Judy when Mum was alive and I showered her on the weekend I always got saturated. I never gave her the shower either. I think I wasn't very good at it. We used to just giggle, it sure beat crying. There is obviously a skill to it.
-
Obviously Cookie and neither you nor I have it :D :D
-
Happy that I've just made contact with a cousin who I haven't spoken to in 7 years :)
-
I am on holidays again in 2 days
-
Are you going somewhere nice Robyn? :D
-
Beach front at Palm Cove for 8 nites
http://www.mantra.com.au/queensland/tropical-north-qld/palm-cove/accommodation/resorts/mantra-amphora/
Perfect for us and the kids
-
Lovely Robyn. I hope you all have a fantastic holiday ;D
The kids will have great fun and you and DH too ;)
-
That looks lovely Robyn. You will have a great time.
-
Happy that I've just made contact with a cousin who I haven't spoken to in 7 years :)
That is great Amy. :) It is always good to keep in touch with family. Sometimes we only seem to get together at funerals and weddings. The funerals seem to happen more regularly than the weddings. :o
Have a good time on your holiday Robyn.
-
So true DD, especially after a certain age.
-
Have a good holiday Robyn.
Very pleased about your news Judy. It should be easier to add in more help and support as and when you need it from now on.
Look after yourself, you are one very special lady.
-
Thanks DJ - yes it should be easier now that I have finally got 2 feet in the door :-))
Holiday venue sounds great Robyn, enjoy your break.
-
Have a great holiday Robyn. Are your machines travelling with you? ;)
-
I think I will take 1 machine with me, for fun. :)
-
;D
-
happy, I finally got some sense from a case manager from whirpool.
If the overseas call centre had answered my phone call in the last 3 weeks, my dead fridge would have been fixed under warranty.
They answered on Monday, and the warranty ran out on Friday last week. :'(
There email us crashed on monday on their website too, as all my info went.
They offered to warrants parts, not labour.
labour is $130 to look at it, and then more to fix. :)
Finally some customer service.... :)
Thank you Mr Google again. Just keep googling, and you will find it.
-
Happy as I have a sparkling clean tidy house, happy cuz I have 3 wonderful daughters, happy as I had a midwife appnt this morning as everything is looking perfect thus far ;D , happy my DH is great too, happy cuz it is not so hot today, happy as can be....... (happy and exhausted!! ;) )
Great news on your fridge, Obbie. :D
-
I think I would be safe in guessing you are thoroughly happy astarra ;D ;D ;D
-
Astarra, glad all is going well for you this time. :D
-
Good you got the fridge sorted Robyn.
Astarra it is wonderful that everything is A OK with your baby. :)
-
Agree with all above.
Happy DH home tonight.
-
Happy i have a quiet weekend this one, just going to do some catching up!!
-
I am happy the DW gets home from KL tomorrow and we are going to see Les Miserables on Monday.
-
Loved Les Mis and went with DD- didn't think I would like it with singing at the press of a button but couldn't help myself.
Does anyone remember way back probs early December when I managed to capture some idiot who smashed into RIGHT HAND SIDE PASSENGER DOOR in a shopping centre car park? Turns out the poor girl then was in another carpark visiting her friend when someone smashed into her FRONT driver door. She's up for a bit of money with the second smash but she looks to be a battler and wants to meet me somewhere local and give me a thank you present because she doesn't have to pay out thousands for the first smash. I feel so rude cos I haven't answered her SMS cos I don't want a thank you gift, and I'm not sure I really want to catch up with her (ie. I don't want a "needy relationship" to develop). Help?
-
Just tell her to pass it forward and that will be thanks enough. No need to get involved. I think most people under stand the pass it forward concept these days .
Gert
-
Judy, just caught up with your news re help with Geoff, so happy for you. :)
Have a great holiday Obbie ;D
Agree with Gert, CP, if you do contact her just tell her to pass it forward by saying "Only to happy to help, gift not necessary, you maybe able to help someone else in the future" "All the best" or something like that.
Astarra, happy things are going well for you :)
Marie
-
Have a nice holiday Robyn
CP as the girls have said just say it is not necessary :)
-
Sorry CP, I wouldn't know what to do in that situation :-\ But I guess you could do what the other girls are suggesting. Tell her you know she would have done the same for you. Tell her to save the money and use it to repair the other window.
Its a tricky one because it sounds like she's just trying to show her gratitude :-\
-
I can understand where the lass is coming from CP - I would also want to show my appreciation. There is no need for a needy relationship to develop, she may get a few things off her chest but if you have the time, I would certainly meet the poor girl. You might just make her day with your lovely smiling face and friendly nature.
I remember when my DD had her handbag stolen from a nightclub. It was dumped in the yard of an old lady in the hills, miles from the nightclub and there must have been enough information left in there for her to ring DD (no money of course)and let her know she had the handbag. DD went up to collect it, armed with a bunch of flowers and the poor old lady was so scared of strangers that she opened the door a few centimetres to hand out the bag and collect the flowers. It was nice of her to do the right thing even though she was obviously not looking forward to the exchange.
-
pass it forward CP. sounds like you saved her $$$
-
Thx everyone. I didn't want to hurt her feelings, and I don't think it would be a quick meeting so I think your suggestions for a similar reply text will do the trick 8)
-
So happy, I just got a lovely photo and letter from my sponsor child in India :D :D :D :D
-
They are always nice to receive Amy.
-
That is lovely Amy. :)
-
Happy happy happy. No cigarettes for 15 days for me so far ;D
-
Happy for you dede ;D
-
Ditto that MF ;D
I love getting letters from my littl sponsor girl, her English is very cute to read because she hasn't quite mastered it yet :D She told me that her cottage came first in the singing competition last year, it makes me so happy for her :D
-
How gorgeous Amy! :D
And dede - we are all happy for/with you too!! :D
-
happy that we just had the best 5 weeks with my sister and nieces and nephews but also very sad that today they have gone home, certainly going to be quiet around here and back to cooking for 6 not 14 had it down to a fine art too ;D
-
I take my hat off to you Suzanne, I couldn't do that many people for that long in a pink fit - it would be meltdown big time for me.
-
I must take after my mum Judy she's like a machine when cooking or looking after lots of us, when I was younger it was a minimum 10 people a night xxx
-
Wow Suzanne, no wonder you've been quiet ;D Well done on the amazing effort of catering for that crowd!!
-
It's in the genes then Suzanne, glad you enjoyed your sister's visit with all the children.
-
After 2 weeks of trying every avenue to contact a Fairfax company, sometimes holding for 30-45 mins a time, emails, etc I managed to circumnavigate myself to actually get to speak to a real person. He had to listen to my frustration first as I was only trying to pay an invoice. Not good enough for a multi national company like that to admit to being short staffed when there are many people who would step up if given the opportunity.
time lapse: Hey what do you know, I've since had a follow up call :D
Happy also its nearly lunchtime cos my stomach is growling
-
Happy that I had such fun at Kitchen Warehouse and got such a bargain with my crisp maker like Chookie's.
-
That certainly seems a good buy Cookie ;D
Marie
-
Glad you got a good result in the end CP, can be very frustrating dealing with some Companies these days. :)
Marie
-
Awesome job Suzanne. I think I would have a meltdown too. Sounds like you could teach us all a few things.
-
it was just so much fun I actually don't think I realised at the end how tired I would be when they left, we are really hoping on them coming for Christmas school holidays this year
happy that I got all the house work done today
-
You must be exhausted but sounds like you had a great time with your sister and her family Suzanne.
Where does she live?
Is Lily missing her cousins?
-
they live in Tassie MF she's been living there for about 15 years and has 3 foster kid's plus her 4.
Lily has already asked when are they coming back, she did ring them to say hello ;D
-
Lily sounds like a real cutie Suzanne ;D
Your sister must have her work cut out for her :o :)
-
Mine is kinda sappy too.
Went to make a cup of tea first thing this morning (DH at work), and I found a little note in my cup, just saying "I love you" with a heart and kisses. He knew it would be the first thing I would do.
Later he rang to see how I was and I said I'm feeling really tired and cbb today, he asked if I'd eaten and I said no just the tea but for some reason I really felt like a cornish pasty ??? Can't explain that, been ages since I've had one. Anyway we said our goodbyes and about 20 mins later he came in carrying one. :o He'd been and bought one in his lunch break and brought it home for me. :-*
I shouldn't be surprised as he does lovely things for me all the time and I spoil him too. We've been together 33 years. :D
aww, that is lovely <3
-
happy, I don't know why.
-
Thats good to hear Robyn ;D
We haven't had any happies for ages!! :(
-
happy, I don't know why.
+1
What's not to be happy about??! :D
-
Good point astarra ;D ;D ;D
-
Happy, internet is back
-
Happy 1 - New kitchen is being fitted ;D
Happy 2 - Mum gets home tomorrow!! ;D
Happy 3 - Astarra has a healthy baby ;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Am I going nuts? I posted today in this thread and Amy and obbie replied, but now I can't see it. Perhaps I posted in a different topic (?) or perhaps it was deleted ???
-
It's posted in the thread killer CP ;D
-
I am happy to be back here again, madly trying to catch up on everything. There is a catch though. I have a bit of downtime because I jammed a keyboard finger today which has made working a bit difficult :-)) So I though I'd put my finger and the bubbles on ice and relax a bit ;D
-
Sounds like a good idea to me djinni. Hope the finger heals quickly.
-
Thanks Judy. It's feeling better already. Amazing how theraputic a few bubbles from a bottle can be. :D
-
Beware of the shopping thread djinni373, especially after a few bubbles! :D :D
-
Good advice Katie :D :D :D
Wishing your finger a speedy recovery djinni :-*
-
It's posted in the thread killer CP ;D
Lol

You've obviously been working way too hard djinni. Bubbles cure so much :) :-*
-
I'm happy as the yoghurt I made last night worked.
-
You sound surprised Katie ;D
-
Good on you Katie ;D
Which recipe did you use?
-
Welcome back Djinni :)
-
You sound surprised Katie ;D
I was surprised JD - I've only made yoghurt twice before, the first time was a complete flop and the second time was a success. I was thinking this time it might go either way!
Good on you Katie ;D
Which recipe did you use?
I used Faffa's method Amy, with the starter I bought from Cheeselinks.
-
Thanks Katie. I think I need to have another go at yoghurt. My last few attempts failed :P
-
welcome back DJinni
-
Happy that the 2 teeth that we thought needed to come out of my 22 year old horse - didn't need to. ;D
He is happy he didn't have to be doped to the eyeballs, I'm happy as it saved me some serious dollars, equine dentist not happy as he should have taken before and after photos so he could write a paper on it as it is pretty impressive what he has done, and the new vet student from Singapore wasn't so happy either as she missed out on helping with 2 extractions!
I'm also happy as it means I don't have to give anti-biotic injections everyday. I don't do injections very well, actually I lie...I am the biggest girl and heave and retch and carry on as soon as I look at putting the needle anywhere near my boys!
So yep...I'm happy :) :) :)
-
Plenty of happiness in that story Nikki ;D ;D ;D
-
Its Friday ;D
-
That is a good reason to be happy obbie.
I'm off to the beach with my spotty boy again tomorrow, so I'm happy. :)
-
Mum just arrived home. She's in such a good mood after seeing our new kitchen, she just gave me the money she had in her pocket. $16.20 ;D
-
:D
-
I am cooking, its the weekend. so going food shopping, then to start baking..
-
great news Nikkit
-
Happy again today, been to the beach, played with my spotty horse down there and had fun. And just found out I can spend a weekend in Feb with my favourite horse trainer and his wife. All good here ;D
-
Sounds fun Nikki :D :D
I'm happy I got some new shoes this morning ;D ;D
-
Happy its Sunday
-
I've just had a piece of TM bread, spread with TM butter and Tenina's apricot jam and it was really yummy! Made me very happy.
-
It is so special when you make it yourself, be proud, you deserve it.
-
I would be very happy to Alexis. Well done :D
-
Well done alexis. I am happy for you :)
-
Kids are on the bus to school. Need I say any more??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Lol Nikkit! :D :D
-
LOL :D :D :D
-
I have one here sick, but happy anyway. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Happy dance :)
-
Happy dance Kimmyh...understatement of the year (so far!)
I have MY music playing err rather loud, I have danced (somewhat resembling a frog in a blender - but hey - who cares!?) and sang, (hmmm no-one to really compare myself to - I'm so melodious!). My horses kept their distance when I was hanging out washing - not too sure if they knew who I was out there, so they've stayed off the back lawn all day which is unusual for them.
Don't get me wrong - I love my girls, but today has been utter bliss!
I do look forward to them coming down the drive at 3.15 so I can hug them and hear all about their first day back.
-
Lol nikkit and ditto.
-
Sounds like you've had a fun day Nikki ;D
I'm happy I have a job interview on Wednesday :D
-
Yeh :) Wishing you all the best Amy.
-
Thanks Kimmy :D
-
good luck on Wednesday Amy, notthat you'll need it ;D
-
Good luck Amy, hope you get the job.
-
Thanks Suzanne and Judy ;D ;D
I would really really like this job.... ;)
-
Hope you get the job Amy
I'm happy because I had a lovely lunch yesterday at Chianti's with some girlfriends, my ex-neighbours gave me a bucket of figs from their tree, and today I actually went to the movies with some other friends. ;D
-
Great day ES. Lots to be happy about.
-
It sounds as if it's all happening for you ES - not back at work yet?
-
Tomorrow ;)
-
Sounds like you've had a fun day Nikki ;D
I'm happy I have a job interview on Wednesday :D
Good luck for Wednesday Amy, I'm sure you ill be great though! What is the job you are applying for? ;D
-
Good luck with the interview Amy. ;D
-
Thanks Katie and Den ;D Its just a kitchen/counter hand job at a new take-away place that opening soon :) Woodfired pizzas ;D
ES, sounds like your social calendar is very busy! Glad to hear you've had a nice couple of days before work begins again!
-
Good luck Amy.
Once you get the job can you tell us what they put on their pizzas? We have a woodfired oven and always looking for something different!
Hanging out for it to cool down so we can get ours going again.
-
Sure thing Nikki ;D
You lucky girl, I would love a woodfired oven :-))
-
Good luck Amy :)
-
Best of luck Amy, if you get the job just work a couple of days Before you start giving them suggestions about toppings, maybe you could sell slices for dessert, just sneak them on the counter. ;)
-
LOL good idea Brenda :)
Thanks ladies :-*
-
Hope all goes well for you Amy. :)
-
Good luck Amy.
-
Hope you get it Amy
-
Thanks ladies :) 2 hours, 25 minutes....
-
Good luck Amy! Keep us posted! ;D ;D
-
Will do, thanks Katie! ;D
1 hour, 30 minutes.... I'm getting nervous now :-))
-
I'm sure you'll do great Amy. :-*
Best of luck.
-
When my DH left for work at 6.30 this morning it was still dark!
Starting to see summer winding down. Looking forward to autumn. ;D
-
So am I Julie ;D
-
I'm happy about that too although I think SA has fared extremely well this summer with not too many really hot days strung together like poor old Perth has had.
-
I'm feeling really happy as while i am sitting here with the computer, I can feel my little bub squirming around inside.... ;D ;D ;D
-
that's a wonderful happy astarra so happy for you
-
How lovely:)
-
So so so so sooooooo excited for you astarra ;D ;D ;D
-
That's so cute Astarra :)
-
That's gorgeous astarra. :D
I'm happy about that too although I think SA has fared extremely well this summer with not too many really hot days strung together like poor old Perth has had.
Yes we have been lucky this year haven't we?
For me autumn is the start of the footy season, which I'm looking forward to ;D even if there's controversy around it at the moment. :-))
-
Happy that it is Valentines day :D
-
I'm feeling really happy as while i am sitting here with the computer, I can feel my little bub squirming around inside.... ;D ;D ;D
It's such a wonderful feeling Astarra and I am so happy for you ;D
-
that is great Astarra
-
For me autumn is the start of the footy season, which I'm looking forward to ;D even if there's controversy around it at the moment. :-))
All the controversy gets a bit boring doesn't it? :-)) Just let the guys plays footy and wear their little short shorts ;D
-
Amy I was thinking about you on the way home today - did you get the job...dare I ask? I may have missed something here - and apologies if I did.
I'm happy as it is cooler today than the last few days - only 37 here :P better than 43, but come on autumn, you can roll in anytime now. Please!
-
I still haven't heard Nikki :-[ The interview was over a week ago and the guy said he would let me know within a week! I don't know if I should still expect a call or not... but I have applied for a couple of other jobs so I guess I'll just keep waiting and hope I hear something from someone soon! ;)
37 is still too hot for me :P But anything over 25 is hot to me :-))
-
Darn Amy - was hoping you would have heard by now. I'd give him a call and jog his memory.
Hope you hear from someone soon.
25! That would be bliss! i think we may have gotten down to that last night - but then I was asleep so didn't feel how cool it was anyway :(
-

-
Thanks Julie that made me laugh out loud ;D
-
ROFL Julie :D :D :D :D
-
LMAO JulieO. ;D
I was at Dd's house this morning and her blind cat named Ninja attacked me as I walked past. :-)) He did it twice, the first time he just reached out and smacked my leg, the second time he leapt straight up in the air at me. That is how he got his name, Ninja. ;D
-
sounds like quite a cat DD
DS11 has been accepted into the specialty music program at school playing the trumpet so I'm of to get what he needs he is very excited and I must say the noise isn't as bad as I thought apparently he has good blowing technique ;D
-
That's fantastic Suzanne!!! :D :D :D Congratulations to DS11 ;D If he has good teachers he will have a lot of fun ;)
-
Congrats to your DS Suzanne :)
-
Good to hear Suzanne, I love going to GS's Grandparents day at her school and being entertained by different aged kids before we go to the classroom. Can't wait for the day when my own GD is up on stage amongst them but I think she is more likely to be a swimming star than a music genius even though she should have both swimming and music in her genes from her Father and Pop.
-
Thanks ladies
you have a very lucky gd Judy to be talented in different ways, DS certainly doesn't get his musical abilities from me or dh must trace the family tree one day and see what we can find out
-

;D
This made my day!! Thanks, JulieO!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Congratulations to your DS Suzanne. My nephew and brother played trumpet, both were quite good. I always enjoyed the sound.
-
Congratulations to DS Suzanne. Great news.
-
Any news yet Amy?
I'm happy, I'm still on a high after spending the weekend on my spunky spotty horse. He was so good after having 8 weeks off.
-
That's great Nikki :D
I still have no news on the job front :-\ I'm going to hand my resume around a few places today. I rang a cafe yesterday and the lady said she had a staff member leaving but already had someone lined up to take his place. Bummer! :(
Maybe I could form a trumpet duo with Suzanne's DS and we could make lots of money busking ;D
-
That's what happens with a lot of jobs Amy they are filled by work of mouth and never advertised.
-
Darn Amy, well hope the next one comes your way. Keep trying and stay positive.
I'll send Miss 11 down to you Amy, she has been playing the clarinet for 12 months, is thoroughly hormonal and very trying at the moment. She'd make up the trio and you can all busk to your hearts content.
Not that I'm trying to get rid of her or anything, but if you offered I'd put her on the next bus down!! (Just pay me back the bus fee and all will be good... :o )
-

I feel for you Nikki, but I don't think I'll be adopting your Miss 11 ;D Sorry!
Job hunting again this afternoon... :-))
-
good luck job hunting Amy
your funny nikkit gotta love tweens
happy today finally got to the hairdresser's so I feel like a new woman amazing what 3hrs in a chair can do for you ;D
-
Amy - I wasn't asking you to adopt her - just take her!!
She does have some good points, she can cook, she is pretty clean, loves animals, gives good cuddles, is happy (most of the time), is very good at public speaking. I'm sure there is more...
Suzanne - tweens - yes, that's her. Knew there was a word for her "stage".
I need your chair too - not feeling very wonderful at the moment. Amazing what a tween and a teen can do to you - and it ain't all good!
Miss 16 took about 15 years off my life as she drove us to school thismorning. Screamed around a right angle corner at 60 and looked at me and said " oh that was a bit quick for that corner wasn't it?". I had to take a deep breath (I think it was me that screamed actually) prised my fingers out of the armrest, poked my heart back into my chest, pulled my foot out of the floor where I had tried to brake and ever so calmly said "yes darling, I think we need to slow down a bit more for that one thanks".
Soooooo glad there was no-one coming the other way - all they would have seen was me in the passenger seat like this :o :o :o

Sounds pretty good to me. Why are you trying to get rid of her? ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D . .love it!! Admire your self control!! Maybe one of those speed limiters (is that what they're called?) attached to the car so it only goes perhaps 40 k/p/h?? ;D ;D Thinking way back, I do seem to recall the driver somewhat firmly closing doors when we arrived home! ;D ;D ;D

I never did the driving lessons with dd20 that was dh job I called it father daughter bonding
-
ROFL Nikki ;D ;D ;D
I had my last driving lesson this morning and we did a mock test, I only made one teeny tiny error :D So that is my happy!

Great Amy

Hormones mcmich and Amy - they are just the pits when they can't handle them and will not listen to any reasoning and advice on what to do. I tried to have a chat with her last night and said that I had been her age and had gone through what she is going through, all I got was a withering look and "yes, but that was SO LONG AGO, you don't remember all of it and it has changed now" :-))
PARDON ME! It has changed? Gee - can anyone tell me how and what has changed please!
It was a real struggle not to bust a gut laughing! Obviously I am way over the hill and have absolutely no idea what I am talking about. :-))
The father daughter bonding thing with the driving lessons isn't working so well. They are both too much alike! We are paying someone to take her for lessons. (have a new instructor who is wonderful) But I get her to drive when I can so she just keeps learning. I try very hard to keep my mouth shut and not tell her what to do.
Good Luck Amy - you'll blitz your test :)
-
Amy, just I case I forget tomorrow , I'm wishing you all the best for the test, you will be fine, Great in fact," Look Out Australia ". Here she comes..... :-*
-
Thanks Brenda ;D :-* Oh the freedom..... I can't wait :D
Nikki, I've heard that all hormonal young girls are like that :-)) So don't feel special LOL ;D
Oh, and I'd also be fascinated to know how hormones have changed, if she'd care to enlighten us ;D
Good idea paying someone else to take her for lessons. Its expensive but worth it, I think ;) Less domestics!

Nikkit thank you for the great laugh. I can remember daughter doing a similar thing. Roaring into a roundabout at 60 kmph+. I Grabbed the seat, and put my foot on the non existent brake in the passengers seat. When I suggested that it helps to check for vehicles first she informed me that the driving instructor had told her to get into roundabouts as quick as she could and keep going, making others stop. She soon got sorted out on that one.
After 15 years I can almost drive with her without looking like I am panicking. She is quite a good driver now.

Your postings really made me laugh whilst eating my breakfast Nikkit :D :D
-
I have enjoyed reading all this too - nice to have a laugh. Are girls really hormonal at 11 ??? In my day they weren't, well not to my knowledge anyway - that was a long time ago ;)
