Well, guess one more won't hurt.

Now time for me to do something other than boring you all. Hope everyone has a great day/night.

Hi Becky I refuse to cut Hubbys hair because I cut a slice out the back D2 used to cut it after that & did a good job but D2 & SIL up stakes & moved to Adelaide so Hubby was cutting it himself so he now goes to a lady hairdresser shes a golfer $10 she charges & we are all happy. Congrats for another TOPP

BECKY if I had been around, would have given you a race to TOPPS. Lately I seem to be the brides maid, over and over, setting up a TOPPs for others. Oh well . . . I have had my turn as top TOPPS.

Been to the grocery, I have food in my pantry again, but a hole in my wallet, oh my! I was looking for my favorite grocery day evening meal today, as I refuse to cook and shop for food same day. That just seems a bit cruel and unusual punichment to me. I usually buy a certain brand of BBQ in a container, pick up some buns and serve with baked beans from a tin and the store bought cole slaw, the kind sold just shreaded, add your own dressing. THEY WERE OUT! Even the nice meat market man went to the back to find me one, came back, none in the store.

So i looked around the frozen already prepared section, and found burgandy chicken. Looks good, a bit more than the BBQ meat woud have been, but still less than 1/3 the price of take out or eating out. I will let you know how it turns out. I also found some acceptable crinkle french fries, frozen. No trans fats, no saturated fats, and an acceptable amount of good fats. Hubby is most happy, just seeing them come in th e house hehe.

Hi MizT, Mary and Becky. SA4's from cool blustery sunny Queensland. About to take Bella for a walk, baby steps I promise.
Becky going down to Melbourne my hometown next Saturday, Gail is having a get together for me the Saturday after, finally will get to meet the Melbournites and their families, cannot wait!

Neither can I Broni!

SA4ers

Becky, I am pleased I inspired you to start making up menus again. I find it makes life so much easier. I know exactly what I need to buy and the menu is flexible enough that I can make anything on it any night. I also have stores in the pantry for justin...just in case nothing takes my fancy, eg tins of tuna for emergency tuna mornay etc!

MizT, I always love reading your stories, your kitty ones and today, your cold days one. I love the part about going up to a cabin with your mum and sisters. Can't imagine ever doing such a thing with mine. Mum is too old now and, for sure, my sisters would have all scratched each others eyes out!

Congrats Becky.. on your 1st SA4 ToPPs

and yes MizT you have had your run at ToPPs.
does the first 7 pages of SA1 ring a bell!!
as well as being Miss SA1 ToPPs

BTW MizT, did you buy Milk!!

ROLANDA, yes, I did buy Milk! Two things I do not forget when shopping, Milk and cat food. If I happen to forget, would have to return for those items, so have learned to remember them. I so enjoy a little coffee in my milk every morning. And hungry kitties do not leave you alone, not for one second.

good thing too Tricia.. as I know you had run out of milk!!

Rolanda did you have a good birthday plenty of spoiling,Its freezing here to of 20 degrees 11 over night & very windy Hubbys gone to golf why arent we surprised

Oh Miss 15 will pop over to show me how to shrink my photos

yes thank you Mary.. being spoiled..
Today we are going to MIL's for Roast Lamb and veg.

Glad Miss 15 is helpful and showing you how to become pooter savy !

Mary, your Tiger avatar!! Great !!

Rolanda MILs dinner sounds yummy, yes that tiger avatar was the nicest I could find I have afew more avatars I have not as yet unveiled allin good time the tiger stays for a liitle while its lunchtime here

Becky - I know how you feel. My hubby doesn't like going to the movies and I don't like going with him - he falls asleep. I go occasionally with my daughter or sister but usually I wait for them to come on cable.

Sorry - that was in response to something Becky wrote on previous page.
Hi Rolanda, Mary, Gail, MizT, Broni - it's a few hours since anyone posted so I guess I'm here on my lonesome.

Hi CynB, Mary, Rolanda, MizT, Gail, Broni and Becky and anyone else who may drop by.
Cool day here too but sunny and a cold breeze. Should get the washing dry.
It has just about brought all the autumn leaves off the trees so some cleaning up to do.

Hi Everybody... have been away from the site for over 24hours and it seems much longer.....
Sounds like a true addict to me!
I hope somebody is going to explain exactly what ozzie rules is for our O/S members...it is nothing like rugby or soccer...the ball isn't even round!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_rules_football

and if you are really keen to know more this is a good site
http://www.footy.com.au/dags/FAQ1v1-5.html

ozzie rules is a RELIGION for most true blue ozzies - I played it at school but never got into the cult following. It was all Melbournians could talk about during the season when it was a Victorian oddity...since it became an Australian wide phenomenon it doesn't seem to be as bad. Now that it gets played in other states the city doesn't get gridlocked around the footy ovals on the weekends as much which is good. It used to be truly awful... we needed to check the footy fixture to see if we could go and visit the inlaws...if the footy was on ...forget it...no where to park [they lived near Carlton oval]

Bean, was just having a look at the wiki link. Good one.

Thanks Bean I got all tangled Its hard to explain 3 codes of footy to someone who has not seen it I did not confuse Stella even more by mentioning cricket & no Stella dont even ask poor lady was confused with what I told her. Weather has been cold & windy here to Bean

Oh Mary - it's getting colder by the minute! That's what I get for my comment yesterday about Qld - beautiful one day. perfect the next. It aint perfect today. Hubby's gone to get firewood!
We Queenslanders can't cope with the cold, as you can see. About 7deg this morning - but our houses aren't built with cold weather in mind, they're built to take advantage of a cool breeze. Plenty of that today with this wind chill factor. BRRRRRRRRR!!!

I totally agree CynB our house is cool in summer warm in winter but our last house was really freezing in winter hot in summer Vic went to golf & came back & said it was cold & windy had trouble hitting the ball well helloo why arent we surprised

Hi Mary, hope Vic didn't spend time at the 19th Hole having something to ward off the cold before her went out for his round of golf. Could that be the real reason he couldn't hit the ball??? ( A friend did that once, though don't think he managed to get on to the golf course that day)

BTW MAry I love your tiger too

Hi Brenda no he had one & came home quickly because it was really cold finished his round of golf,its going to be cold here all week 9 degrees at night 19 degrees & very today its 8-28 at night here & its very cold

Mary, I was playing with my photos last night B 4 power went out 4 hours & I found a really good one of you that I think needs to go on YOUR page. Phone me & re give me your Email & I'll forward it to you. Worked out how to get them small enough

Mary, as its nearly my bedtime, tomorrow at work will be fine

Lee will phone in morning love you dolphin its my bed time to

Tell me about the cold Mary. after a week of gloriously hot (up to 27C) sunny days we went back to the cold max 11C during the day and I think it got down to 4C one night. I have seriously thought about putting heating back on. Even Richard (my DH) said it was chilly last night in the house and he never feels the cold.

I dont feel we should really complain about the cold at least we dont get snow up here 11degrees during the day I am shivering just thinking about it

Weather is what we get used too. I doubt I would like all your really hot temps during the summer but wouldn't mind trying it out for a while

It has been a while since we got any decent amounts of snow where I live near London. Further north where I used to live had a few problems with snow this year.

Hi Brenda, It is generally nice around your way at this time of the year. Our friends at Marlow have now moved to Henley. Hope to visit again in the next couple of years.

Sudokuland, a cool and crisp morning in alabama. Not cold like yesterday but wonderfully cool. I think today will be a good day!

The Magic Pot is on, coffee, tea and choccie available, and yes, Rolanda, I have milk today!

Hope to be out on the mower today, grass has GROWN with all the rain earlier in the week.
