Oi!! I nearly got that one, just a wincy bit late ... X-( .... :_|
Hello Peela and Braff .. :-x ... can't stay right now, but I'll subscribe to this (didn't think of that did I?, no I didn't) .. so until tomorrow then .. night night xx
Everyone disappeared .. nobody here for four days ... :_|
We don't pop in here very often Tas. I don't come onto eBay as often as I used to and Peela is having poota problems.
eBay Forums has changed a lot from when I first started a few years ago.
I had a lovely day yesterday in the city (Sydney). The harbour looked gorgeous and sparkly.
We caught the ferry over to Manly and had lunch in a pub by the beach.
It was MrBraff, myself and the couple that were our dinner companions when we were on the QM2 4 years ago. It arrived back in Sydney today. Such a gorgeous, beautiful ship.
I get to see Damo again tomorrow night.. The trouble when he goes on tour is that I get to see him all at once and then I go for months without seeing him.
I hope your renovations are going well and that your music and sewing is keeping you busy.
Hi Peela for when you come in. I hope you have had a good week with the kidlets and that the mammogram went well.
evening braff & tas โฅโฅ
ooh barry gibb..... yes friends of mine went to see him also and said he was terrific ... glad you had a great time ...
worked all different shifts this week .... earlies on tues, mids on wed & lates yesterday ๐ฎ
went for the mammogram ... sheesh I hate being squished like that ... so uncomfortable ... told the lady technician ..... we need to get the boys a machine like that to check their testicles ... ๐ .... Im sure they would invent a better way of taking the images if they had to go through what we do .... LOL ..... she agreed totally .... said it was funny to think of men going through it ... ]:) ....
results will be sent to doctor .... but Im sure its all good ... and now done for another 12 months LOL .... woohooo !!
warmish day today over here ... and more to come for the coming weekend and week so I believe ....
have a great weekend .... โฅ
another bump up whilst I still can get in .... have a great week .... ๐
Hello ladies 0/ ~~~~
Peela, I hate mammograms too. Have you ever seen this joke? It is so funny.

If it is not a link then please copy and paste the address or google joke about having a mammogram and you will find it there.
The joke is about having the mammogram, nothing distasteful regarding why or anything like that.
Things are ok here. I went and saw Damo again on Friday night and his mother was over here and she came over to say hello to my friend and I. I was so nice of her. She is lovely, just like Damien and family.
Damien's wife has just climbed Mt Kilimanjaro raising money for the Special Olympics. Damien is an ambassador for them but his wife has always supported them too.
We have had hot weather here lately but nowhere near what the SA and Vics have been going though. I think it is very hot for you too isn't it Peela?
I had better go and hand another load of washing out. It never ends. Bring back nudity I say (for everyone else but me) B-)
hey braff โฅ
how lovely of damiens mum to chat to you and your friend ... and what a fabulous woman his wife is raising money for charity by doing that .... awesome feat to be certain !
been hot over here also .... but alas we are used to it .... mind you it belted down with rain on thurs .... but only for that day ... it returned to the heat by the evening .... so no benefit really ... although I suppose the gardens enjoyed the lovely drenching ๐
LOL .... yes indeed that is exactly what happened to me the other week .... crikey they close it up so tight that you think youre gonna scream because of the pain when it gets squished ๐ and yes you do hold your breath due to the pain .... and a sigh of relief as she releases the press ..... geez I came away feeling all battered and bruised .... mind you the lady tech was lovely ... in fact we chatted about childcare the whole time .... she had her kids in care when they were younger .... still doesnt make the pain any less ....
and we also discussed the fact that men should also be subject to this test when checking on their nether regions for any lumps and bumps ... Im sure someone would quickly find a new way of doing it ... if they had to go through the same thing !
spent the evening with my mum .... went over for a visit & dinner ... also to drop off some vitamins I got for her ... from chemist on special (near me) ... also to put up a new towel rail in her en suite ...as the other one (plastic) snapped .... got a metal one this time ... but you guessed it .... different size even though we got the same measurements ....so had to drill another 3 holes ... managed to use only one of the old ones .... grrr I dont know why they have to change everything all the ruddy time .... it makes replacing things awfully complicated .... the other week I got her a new ceiling vent fan for above the shower ... cos the cover fell off and broke into pieces ... they dont sell replacement covers so had to buy a complete fan unit .... got the same brand as was in the ceiling .... get it home and take the cover outta the box ... nephew who is extremely tall managed to not need a ladder to install it on the fan in ceiling .... but you guessed it .... it doesnt fit properly .... it is slightly different in size .... I couldnt believe it .... its a ceiling vent fan .... for bathrooms/kitchens ... why would they change the size of the covers .... **sigh** ,,,,, he managed to get it to stay there but its a bit on the wonky side .... so if worst comes to worst we will have to get an electrician in to take out the old fan bit and put in the new fan bit that came with the new cover ..... always costs money ... to do stuff ....
well better get to bed its 1-30am ........... got a load of washing to hang and then to bed ... nite
woohooo the weekend again ......
had a busy week .... did the early shift on mon, tues & wed ....then on thurs I had to open up the place (early shift) and then close the place (late shift) ๐ฎ .... due to the lack of staff everyone is going down with a nasty gastro over here .... I went home at 2pm instead of 3pm ... then came back at 5pm to close at 6.30pm ..... a verrrrry long day for me as I get up at 4.30am on early shift days ... then had to do a quick shop before finally staying at home for what was left of the night ๐ฎ
friday I worked a late shift as still no staff .... and would you believe it .... a parent forgot their child .... so we closed at 6.30pm .... and I rang parent at 6.35pm got the message bank ... left a message .... and nothing ..... then at 6.45pm rang the home number on file ... got pop .... who was gobsmacked that child hadnt been picked up .... told him he needed to pay a late feel .... as we dont get paid by the company after our shift ends at 6.30pm ..... he got there in 5 mins .... so had to pay us $40 ..... = $1 / minute per child per carer ..... and we the carers get the money ... so $20 each ..... but still doesnt make up for the fact we didnt leave the centre until just before 7pm ..... grrrrr ..... mind you pop was not happy with parents ... apparently dad was supposed to be picking up said child .... I cant believe anyone would forget their own child .... and they obviously dont give a hoot about us having to stay back till that time on night on a friday .... other girl was planning to go out also .... and had to ring and change her plans ....**sigh** .....
oh well hope your week has been better than mine ๐
well back to work tomorrow .... but luckily only for 4 days .... then easter weekend .... and 4 days off work ....
have a great week ....
