The totally off-topic thread

If partner is working four days a week then she doesn't have time to cook then.

Just kidding.

I've worked at least four days a week all my adult life, even with two children. That's the problem when you have your own business. No long service leave for me, I'd be on to my second lot. Not looking like a gold watch for retirement either.

And it is raining in SE Qld again.

Simo can you change your location to Rainy Coast so we won't be confused with your location. We have business friends in Dalby and we are hoping everything is ok for them and all of their friends in the big wet.

Why should we call it the rainy coast?From Australia Day to the end of February we only had a metre of rain!
Plus probably another 100mms for March.

 

[Pushka]

Which means that Adelaide should be the sunny coast because we have had only 16mls since January 1. Another perfect 30 degree blue sky day today - check out Channel 7 for details! We have a car race on at the moment and the hornets will be flying over shortly.

Don't I know it.....our solar panels were switched on by Energex on the 4th Feb:-|

Still making money only around half what they should be at this time of year.

Just passed 1050mm here (near PQQ) for the year & a bit more to come today-well over it now

I think Qantas has granted me a second chance :



Not sure why it still says my reassessment date is one that has just passed us. Could that imply that I'm not out of the woods yet?

If your status assessment date said 2014 I would say you were home, otherwise a few days to go.

I kid you not $11499 pyrolitic Miele oven I'm in the process of getting paralytic over it lol

Note to self
Do not let mrs c talk to mrs p!!!

 

[coolumbla]

So what colour Professional plates do they start with?

They start with red ones because they go faster!

Currently being chauffeured to home from melb by delinquent travelling at 110 till Nsw border when we go back to 80km/hr!

No, it's ok for Mrs C to talk to Mrs Pushka. That's me whose last oven purchase was for $800. And whose granite counter kitchen refurb cost all of $7000 with me doing the demo work. It's Mrs Pukka you need to watch out for.

I did notice but didn't edit quick enough

Great view from our house watching the roulettes and that other RAAF plane zooming straight up into the sky and rotating as it goes up.

Amazing bits of technology: almost completely overcast with a light drizzle as I checked ours just now - still inputting at (averaged rate) about $5.90 for the day!
Normal beautiful TSV day averages around $11 so it will have paid for itself in less than 3 years.
Ergon took 4 months to switch it into the grid :evil: but even just running the house on solar (no export) during that period lopped nearly 40% off our normal bill.
14,500 points courtesy of Amex to boot

Great investment.....do you upload to PVOutput?

It's been on 4 weeks tomorrow. It's rained pretty much non-stop over this period & it's still generated 568KWs. We've exported 80% to the grid - we will never pay for another power bill again + getting around $1,600pa in the sky rocket. Given we were paying $2,500 per year I couldn't be happier

That is an extremely expensive oven. You would not want to be disappointed with any of the meals that came out of that oven....

I think at that price you have no choice but to like it..yes dear its delightful!

There is a reason I have never been married.

I do not take orders, speak my mind and I do not need to worship anyone....

Such a cynic. .

My partner would kill me if I paid that much for an oven but on the other hand I'd never buy one at that price anyway. I can't see that food would taste that much better to warrant it.

Not all us girls require extortionately priced ovens or any other objects you know...
