Ladies - I am blushing!
Thank you so very much for this Cookie, Judy and CC - huge hugs to you! You are all awesome! 
And to everyone else who has wished us well - thank you, thank you, thank you 

I haven't been in here for a while as Nerissa (my business partner) and I have been planning, testing recipes, have done a few classes, talked, eaten a lot, talked a bit more, tested more recipes etc! We have so many plans and ideas and some pretty darned big dreams - and by golly we are going to give it our best shot.

Kimmy and Trudy  - if our dreams all come to fruition (oh lordy - that scares me A LOT!) then we'll come to you one day!! (just don't hold your breath just yet ok!?)

Hence the spotty horse has been a bit neglected, but hubby and the kids are still getting fed and I know I haven't shared a story for a while...sorry! (I do have a few up my sleeve, so I will share another soon - I hope!)

I can't wait to meet you Cookie, it feels as though we are old friends already. 

Thanks again ladies - you have truly made my day!

I'm Nikkit and I'm number 28.
My fave when home alone is vegemite on toast. Then a whole block of chocolate...cos I can and I don't have to share!

Morning all!

It has been a while since I've been in and had a chat, but have been a tad busy with a few things.

First world problem - my coffee machine died this morning BEFORE it made my first cup  Hubby suggested I make an instant coffee, I suggested he not come home from work this arvo! I have just ordered another one...it better be here real soon!

Our eldest gorgeous girl turned 18 on the weekend and we survived the party. Her friends are far too sensible and barely got tiddly, so there was no cleaning up to do!

Our youngest gorgeous girl is ranked #1 in a few subjects at school, so she is stoked and we are pretty darned proud. She told me last night that she's aiming for the Dux again this year...I hope she gets it!

Our 2 cherubs that didn't stay with us have just turned 11 and 15 - doesn't seem that long ago that they were born, yet seems another lifetime ago. Their roses are flowering beautifully in the garden - amongst the weeds!

I spent 2 days last week on the spunky spotty horse at a clinic, where we learned sooo much our brains were full. Trevor, Ron and bananas is all I can still remember. (Traverre's, Ronderres and side passing/half passing amongst other things!) Don't worry non-horsey people - makes perfect sense to me as it was the only way I could remember the fancy names and what they mean!!

I've upped the anti on my business from home (cooking classes  ) and am busy testing recipes, eating good and bad ones  there's been a few recipes that have hit the bin, sharing cakes etc!

Hubby has had an extreme 4wd comp and suffered many dramas with the truck. They had fun, but now the fix up begins. My take on it - the 4 round black thingys are off, the diff thingy and axle are out, fuel tank had floaty bits in it that made the noisy bit up the front go quiet - which was a shame as it did play a good tune for a while! And something about brakes - apparently they are over-rated, there are plenty of rocks and trees around to help one stop, but I note that hubby has ordered new ones, so maybe he does use them after all.

I have the MIL coming this Saturday for 3 weeks and 2 of the weekends I am jumping ship to go campdrafting . Not too sure if she'll be impressed with that, but anyhoo! So I have been cleaning her room from top to bottom, getting the things she likes and hopefully it will keep her happy while I bug out to play with my horse and some cows!

And I have almost kept up with the T5 debacle, error codes, sick new machines, late/lost deliveries (Wonder - you deserve a medal) and all the other goings on.

Hope everyone is well and happy 



 

Campdrafting on my awesome spotty horse yesterday and today.
I have a grin from ear to ear 
We had so much fun!

welcome Lincoln. Our puppy Bella was from Shenton Park too (10 years ago).
He looks good Hally

Not if you eat it while drinking cookie.

And I wasn't drinking a cuppa tea either! 

The latest  news is that a consultant told her customers that Grace was up to 16,500.

Do the maths on that ... 

How many have not been delivered - and won't be for another 5-8 weeks, but the money taken?

Whooo eeeee!

This has been an interesting read, I've run out of popcorn!
