Hi Purps and yes there is no such thing as the perfect lifestyle.......and im sure hard to leave grandies.........but if you can see them on a regular basis..........wonderful

Oh wow you are just going to be seeing so much wonderful country..........im still pea acid green with envy:)

Cant wait to see all the photos as you load them up:)

Afternoon all :-x

PJ I message you with the church I am going to.
Have u any Hillsong CD's PJ? I bought one about 6 weeks ago I'm listening to it this morning.

Purps sounds like u might emigrate to Tassie, lol. Dont forget your Passport when u go there hey, lol.

Lily how r u going? Yr CAFE looks great my customers are eating better than me my son & I had cheerios for dinner last night, lol.

JV I agree with u I'm green with envy of Purps as well..I reckon however if I dont get a job soon my son myself and the cat and dog will be living in a car, lol. Than we can go where we want, lol.

C Ya :-x

Kerry, I love hillsong, don't have any of their c.d's tho, I have one of keith green i can burn ot off for you, he is brilliant ,very passionate and his music has a real message....

well purps u will have a ball ,I am sure, travel safely and remember to let one of your family know of your travel plans..just for safety sake

dame..you will get the camper you are after just takes time I guess..

jen hugs to you and the family, i am glad that you are not "alone" at this time. you are still in my prayers..

well hello and goodnight to you all, I am very tired and heading off to bed!!

CYA & God bless!

Good evening. Well I am beat. So tired. Got the camper all packed and folded. The roof rack is packed and the ute is ready to go. Only some last minue items to go in. Should be a smooth getaway. Or I hope so. lol

Family has been and gone for tea. I mde lamb korma. Was going to do some fish and chips but there was not much in the way of fish left when I got to the shops. Anyway everyone seemed to enjoy their tea.

Off to bed for me. Catch up with everyone in the morning.

Good morning. Awake early again this morning. Got a fair bit to do today. I think the weather man is tipping rain today. See what happens.

Hope everyone has a great day. BBL

Goooooooooooooood morning and we have rain on the Goldie........figures Mothers service first thing in the am and we have had rain for every family funeral that i can think of:( something about happy is the soul that the rain falls on:)

More family arrived yesterday afternoon and i did a huge lamb roast and made a fruit pie.........was nice to have a house full of young people

My son and our Angel are cooking a big breakfast this am got a few people dropping over soon.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and thoughts im still as tired as hell........Tuesday i think ill just have a super lazy day:)

BBL

Good morning everyone. Yawns from me too. Didn't sleep well, or for long last night, hopefully will catch up tonight.
JV you have been in my thoughts. Sounds like you have been flat out, and I think you deserve at least a couple of days of being super lazy!

Purps, I have admired your pics of the latest fittings to your car in readiness for your big trip! So envious! You will have a wonderful time for sure.

Kerry, I'm having fun in that Cafe World game, perhaps not as much fun as FarmTown was when starting out, but it's just a cute game. I like what you have done to your cafe too. I agree re the cyber cafe customers eating better than we do in reality. As a waitress in my cafe you are working very hard indeed, and I might even give you a cyber pay rise!

Wish both of us could find the job we are searching for. Out of about a dozen applications in the past 3 weeks I have only heard back from two, stating I had not made the short list for interviews. I'm actually seeing another Job Capacity Assessor in a week and a half, this time with a certificate filled out by my doctor stating my health issues such as obesity, depression etc etc. At the moment I have to apply for any type of work, and being as big as I am, some of the work is physically impossible for me, but because I don't have it documented by a Dr, I have to apply anyways.

I have had my first visit with the psychologist also, which was good. Hoping that by talking to her, I can shake off some of my issue's, or work through them at least. The antidepressants are working, but I still have episodes of feeling really low.

Dame, sorry about that 5th wheeler, not being what you had hoped for. It didn't look as nice in the listing photo as the other one you had liked, and certainly not a newer one by appearances. I'm sure sooner or later you and Mr Beam will find the one you are looking for.
Hope things are going well as far as your step dad and his stay in a nursing home is working out.

Waves to PJ, hope you are feeling better now after having to see the doc earlier this week. And congrats on the nomination for the award that was submitted by your friend. You are such a caring person, the first to offer help despite your own adversities.......you are well deserving of some recognition!

For those who have watched Underbelly, the first series, we have here in Hervey Bay at the moment, 2 actors from the show. The one who played Benji Venieman [the bald guy with tatts on his arms], and the guy who played Carl Williams. My daughter was working at Woolies on Thursday night when who should appear at her checkout, but the 2 actors. Her supervisor who was on a break at the time, was most peeved that she'd missed out on seeing them, LOL.
They are here to film a movie, something about sharks/tourists.

To everyone else who drops by here, I hope you are all doing well, and life is treating you well.

P is off work today, avidly glued to the TV watching the Bathurst 1000.
Take care all, and enjoy your sunny Sunday!

Hugssss~

Hugs Lilly and sorry you are still having issues in regard to finding work.

Did you have your thyroid tested in regard to the weight issue?

So glad the anti depressants have kicked in and are helping you.......what marvellous medication they are we are so lucky to live in a great country with for the most part marvellous doctors:)

Yes everyone here is watching the race been hiding in the office for a bit:)

Hey JV, yes my thyroid was checked, earlier this year and a couple of months back. It's fine. I am low in iron though, have bought some iron supplements.

As to my job hunting, I am fairly convinced it is my weight and age which is against me. I am morbidly obese to be honest.
When I did my prac work in home based aged care, showering clients was rather difficult for me unless they had enormous shower stalls. And I couldn't kneel or squat down to attend to their legs/feet. The only way I could manage was by bending which was not good for my back.

I know I need to address my weight as a matter of great importance. I actually have an appointment with a dietician in a couple of weeks. [a free appt as part of my GP's referral]. Plus I am hoping that by seeing the psychologist I can address some of the issues leading to my bad eating habits.
