Oh So Sweet

I am soooo in love with these candy bars!! So much so that I am collecting my own jars to have my own little candy bar. Yummo !!!smacko!!!

See the tall one on the right with those big round gumballs inside, well I have it on layby.

Yes! yes! yes! I do!.............& guess what ??
It was on sale at 35% off..........How Cooool is that!!!

Theres more..........They let me layby it too...........hehe
You know what?? I don't think I ever pay full price for anything. I mostly shop when there is a sale on. Once upon a time, stores would only have sales on at stocktake time.
BUT not anymore........They will use any excuse for a sale.......
This time I think the sale was in line with the festivities of the Sapphire City Festival.

I have resigned to the fact that she has made this her home now. Boo Hoo for me!

She looks happy & she says she is happy. So........ that's good enough for me!! She has lost weight though!? Should I worry?? Stop it right now!!! Why do mothers WORRY so much agh!!

She is so happy that she has decided to study at University. She is hoping she can get in after Christmas break, Good Luck girl we know you can do it!!

Monique is on 5 months break from Uni now and she has full time work, which she loves most of the time.
Enjoy life while you can because you never know what's in store for you!!!

Taste of Summer

SHAME!!

Come on summer!!

We spent the October Long Weekend at the beach. Well almost, we went to visit the girls and stayed in Lismore ( bit cheaper accommodation, just as nice). could have spent all day at the markets on Sunday but we wanted to see the girls more, so we headed for Byron Bay where we drove a round and round looking at all the sights.

AND there are many let me tell you!! More of a culture shock for some really. Think I am accustomed to the sights and feel more at home there than anywhere really. Let's just say , Byron makes everyone feel welcome!!Hey look!! Craig is trying to pick me up hehe, you know like in the movies haha. He actually managed to pick me up poor boy ! yeah we had a really good time,Craig was feeling really romantic this weekend, not sure why but i went with the flow, no complaints here LOL.

Oh yeah & we had a Spa Room whoo! hoooo!

Funny ?? I didn't even notice that the weather was overcast until I posted this shot , i was enjoying myself too much.

I took a fly by shot of this little cottage in Bangalow. Love this detail on the verandah.

Love this picket fence too !!Get in real close & check it out!

Really like this home mmmmmm

Bangalow Palms at you guessed it!...........Bangalow

More photos later........

Happy Pink Saturday

I love a bargain!!!!Looked what we picked up for $2 each. We bought the only 20 pots left.
Usually $6 each , we made a killing at a third of the price. Saving (ku...ching$$$$)$80 yeehaa!!

Beautiful gerberas !!!!!!

He loves me , he loves me not...........he loves me today.......

Love is........a strawberry cheescake

Look what my hubby made, I knew I was keeping this photo for a special post. Hubby made this strawberry cheescakke for me 'just because ' one day last month. I'm glad I dug the photo out cause I wasn't luvin' him too much earlier today.

As much as I would like to think I have a perfect marriage I am a realist and I know that this isn't always so.

Yesterday i was ready to 'wring my husband's neck' . What for? you may ask? Well that was yesterday and lets just say that it's a good thing i don't hold grudges. Grrrrr........

Be careful what you wish for , they say...................yesterday, I hoped and prayed that something would change his (yes his !) behaviour towards me and what happened I woke up to a stinkin' dust storm didn't I? My goodness I thought, what have I done!! wished for a miracle or more like a disaster of sorts.I wondered how this dust was going to change the little storm we had going on inside the house.??

Anyway........

Hubby went off to work still NOT HAPPY with me and I stayed home with a stomach virus. Later in the morning he arrived home with my favorite hamburger and an Iced Coffee (my fave!! ) he knew I wouldn't venture out in the dust today so he bought me home home lunch. Had we had not had the dust storm things may have been a bit different.

I just melted into his arms and everything was OK Again.......all is forgiven,again.

Now, I'm off to cook him up a big dinner and give him a big hug when he comes through the door singing out 'honey I m home!!!'( he loves saying that!hehe)

Ooooh nearly forgot! Pop on over to http://rebecca-gatheryeroses.blogspot.com to check out another perfect blog.

Dust over Inverell

I think a trip to the carwash is needed , maybe tomorrow? The dust feels thick on my tongue and gritty to my eyes and I haven't even been 'out in it' today. This photo doesn't really show the extent of it all really. This is at 3.15pm this afternoon, it seems to becoming clearer but the winds aren't dying down at all. This is a photo looking over the top of my neighbours rooftop. It's very dusty outside and blowing a gale. I am inside with the house all locked up. All relatives and friends seemed to be affected by it over a lot of Australia.

I thought I 'd get in and do some cleaning and ironing etc etc. BUT guess what i done ?

Not a heck of a lot of anything. I roamed around on blogland and then rang all my rellies to see how they were coping with the weather conditions and just a lot of R & R really.

The dust has had me concerned for my mum and dad who both have emphysema and of course you worry for your children, don't you when they are living away from home and are 'bulletproof'.

I 've rang my parents twice already today, you see i am very worried for my dad who lives with an oxygen cylinder. We nearly lost him last year until the Dr discussed what would happen to him if he 'became worse'. Well, talk about 'will to live'!! I believe it was a good thing that dad was informed of his condition. They said he wouldn't come out of hospital ever but you don't know my dad . He's a real fighter!! hey, i didn't know my dad either!!

But i am getting to know him better again, stuff we missed when I turned into a rebellious teenager.

Last weekend

Note to self: post pictures before writing notes Agh!! This crazy little duster I picked up for $2 has a battery controlled spinning head that makes dusting a bit easier, not bad I d give it a 7/10. (Can't beat a damp cloth & vanilla. )

Yep, there he is again, not a bad bloke to have around hehe. I was a single mum for quite a while and once did quite a bit of hard labour myself. But now the only time I get to do hard labour tis when this guy is upset with me. Grrrrrrr!!LOL

With the lights on!

Practising balloon decorating

I can't understand when someone says to me that they are bored. I just don't get it!!

Maybe I take on too much sometimes ?? I 'm not sure?? I actually fear the word 'bored'. I actually have a problem with it. I just feel that no good comes from boredom so I keep busy, amused, stimulated or whatever you I want to call it Blah, blah,blah............
