One for giving birth!

Oh! She'll get a nice necklace for that achievement. I think that's what she wants.

Mimco any good for handbags?

He has stopped pooping. .
Flashback, how are you going. 

We have great wood floorboards. Might take cash settlement and get them polished.

Doing well thanks! Think I'm finally over it now - first full day in the office today, too

Sorry to hear about the troubles with your place, must be most annoying!

I had a pretty tough day at work today. At least my boss understands the position I am in. Good to have the support.

In completely unrelated news, I have turned the freezer up (down?) from -16 to -17 as the ice-cream is a little too soft.

FWIW - our freezer is set for -21c

A friend of mine seems to like them.

I like Mimco but sometimes think the large O clasp is a turn off.

The Mimco baby bags are highly sought after and can double up as an inflight bag too. If baby bags aren't her thing their pouches are amazing (I have way too many of those).

Look out for the 20% off sales they have fairly regularly and sign up to the loyalty program to be eligible for the discounts.

Ours is at -18

Pathetic, but that does seem to happen semi frequently.

AusPost have some subbies who do the same. Entire load is dropped at the post office with cards delivered to each address.

Fortunately we are on first name terms with our AusPost subbie, so don't have a problem. We do a lot of internet shopping......

Same here !! I also don't need to show any ID at the post office for signed items no matter who's behind the counter.
They see me and head off out the back to get the parcels

Mine is at -20C

Wife needs new handbag. She likes the younger styles. Potential belated birthday present.

I have a similar "problem". When the owner sold at the end of last year, he trained the new guy to recognise me and not bother with ID also

As I very quietly clock over the quarter of a million miles for the year (well on the way to my usual 400K given most travel is in the back half of the year)... it's great to have a few beers and hear one of the great live entertainers of our time.... live music is one of life's gifts that so many people neglect.

Go to shows!!

That's all I can really say, music life is absolutely amazing. Sing along, make a fool or yourself and have a beer with a musician who may be on the Forbes 500 list... you only live once.

Best life advice you will ever get from me.

Spring is supposed to be here... The thermometer on the veranda says 3 degC...
We get Sale's weather three days before they do. :shock: Well sometimes two days.

If the package doesn't fit in the mailbox it's 22 km to the post office. The courier calls and says come get it. That's 33 km the other direction. Oh yes, the lane is 900 meters and you can't see the house from the road.

Happy wandering

Fred

It's time to leave the farm behind and head to the city?

Our farm partners took their Toyota Landcruiser and new caravan with the slide out down close to the river (Winnijup is out of Bridgetown on the Blackwood River). With the continuing wet weather the ground was soft and it took 6 hours to get back to the real road after getting bogged to the axles. Lucky there was a second couple helping to get them out of that mess. I think they enjoyed the river scenery as it is a great white water canoeing spot.

We use to have a PO Box as a busy business centre suburb and the staff there were miserable and it was never enjoyable dealing with them. Parcel pick was suppose to be at 7.30am and the attitude they would give you if you dared knocked at the parcel pickup counter at 7.30 and 12 seconds made us move when our box lease was up.

We moved to a more village PO Box town center and hubby is happy and they dont bother with our IDs either.

Not looking forward to the day my small town centre is taken over by a Westfields-type developer and its ruined.
