YUK lol

I have been told of a new product (well not new, just re-released) for holding in dentures, not as restricting as those revolting double sided tape things (those of you with dentures know what i'm talking about!) anyway, the product is called Hold-Tite, it's a powder, that when applied to wet dentures, bonds and isn't constrictive and you dont know it's there, but it does stop your plate from falling when you laugh, sneeze etc. This morning, i liberally sprinkled my plate, thinking of other things, put plate in mouth and promptly spat it out! ONE should really check blue containers before applying. I had only grabbed some talcum powder which happened to be in a bottle similar in colour to the Hold-Tite. Well someone had put it back and moved the denture setter hadn't they..my excuse.. i'm still spitting out talc LOL... so Bev, if your reading this..take note....ROFL..

something to look forward to!!

A little voice came out of the bedroom at 7.30 this morning....

• Mum, Mum, MUM...

• Yes Aaryn.....

• Do you know what i've always wanted to be when i am a grown-up?

• Ah, no, love, what's that..
• (voice still coming from bedroom)
• AN UNDERWEAR MODEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i collapsed with laughter as he jumps out of his bedroom wearing his bad boy boxers (which would probably be sexy on an adult) and a pair of undies on his head. Kicking myself now that i was laughing too much to take a picture! So keep your eye on those magazines...my boy is going to be famous!!!

I said to Gary this morning, when telling him that story, that the best thing about having so many children is that ONE of them will always make you laugh!!!

GOOD LORDY

where has the time gone?? don't you just hate it when life gets in the way?? ok where to begin..

• Dad's burial went ok, Pat scattered some of his ashes where he wanted to be buried, took him into the bar, some of him went on the bar where he belongs!!! Dad got his ride on Pat's harley FINALLY lol. It's all over now so not dwelling. I have pics but dont feel like sharing them.
• SWIG has come and gone. It was great fun, i even participated in the dress up. I went as Darth Vadar. My friend Chris, was Kermit, (yes, i had an asthma attack underneath my helmet when she came out of bathroom, NO she didn't assist me, because everytime she came near me, i laughed and laughed). Mother (heather) came as Jack Sparrow, 2 Ninja Turtles (aka bev and sue) Mrs Mac from HP (christine) Mary, from something about Mary (beryl) The ever so lovely mother from Hairspray (who was FANTASTIC..that would be virginia) National Lampooner (deb b) 2 naughty girls from hairspray (chrissie and sue) the Cowardly Lion (Lucy) and Annie Oakley (bronwyn). Had a fantastic time, lots of laughs. Loved catching up with my swig buddy Ginny!!!! (i have tried to upload pics but it came up with an error asking me to tell them what i was doing when the error occurred, should I have told them that i was putting the veges in the steamer whilst the upload was doing it's thing? WELL, that's what i was doing LOL what a stupid question mr blogger)
• I HAVE SOLD ALL THE PUPPIES...ohhhhhhh woe....little kostas went about an hour ago, off to Tewantin he has gone! his new owner is a 13 yr old girl, whose daddy bought the puppy as a surprise for her, he's surely going to be very spoilt indeed. She has wanted a boxer since she was 7 her father said. I'm so pleased that both pups went to good homes and will be spoilt rotten! Obah went west somewhere Gary dealt with that sale and forgot to ask all important questions for me! but his new owners have an 8 yr old boxer so i know he will be ok too!
• ONLY 7 MORE SLEEPS til we get the keys...omg i am now filled with dread that something is going to happen and i am refusing to pack until i have the keys in my hot little hand...i'm full of dread LOL such a pessimist I am.
• I have to go to docs tomorrow to have my blood pressure taken again, apparently it's very high! little wonder with the drama's here! I also have to have lots of tests done to see if i am ok because my dear doc seems to think i am not! i felt fine until he told me that! Also have to see about my operation on my eyelids to remove a lump from each of them, nothing serious, I just want them OFF. so I'm kind of a bit worried about the doc visit tomorrow because for sure he's going to tell me something nasty That's the way this week seems to be going LOL...see, i told you i was pessimistic, think the worse then it wont happen!!! thats my logic.

Well i think that's all, more drama's naturally happening, but i'm sure in time they'll be resolved. well i hope they will be. Let's just say, I've been dreadfully hurt by a certain young lady, who has broken mine and her father's heart today. and if she's reading this, i hope she realizes JUST what she has done to HER family..

For goodness sake!!

As you all know, my dear father passed away in June, Slowly getting back on track, have a few ups and downs BUT yes, as well you can imagine, it has turned into quite a saga! My darling brother (wave, wave to you kiss kiss) rang me, He has been quite busy arranging poor old Dad's burial. Let me start from the beginning...OK, not quite the beginning, but tell you the story LOL.... Dad's wish was to be cremated and his ashes placed in the wall near the RSL, (yes his beloved RSL) no, not inside the RSL but outside, across the road, they have a memorial wall. My brother looked into this (no not into the wall *sigh* but into having it all done when the time came) anyway all was ok, it could be done. Dad passes away, is cremated, then we get a letter from the RSL, Dad can't be placed in wall, he's not Australian (for heaven's sake, he is a naturalized citizen or whatever you call it, have a piece of paper to show that) BUT no, he didn't serve for 'the country' so he cant be placed in the wall.. OK I have a beef with the RSL anyway, so this just confirms what i think of them (ok no emails about that it's my beef)..SO how come the RSL will have Dad on committees?? take his money every year on membership??? blah blah bloody bull well you know the rest! OK..we'll put him in the memorial garden in the local cemetery no probs, cant fight bureaucracy. WELL..... My brother arranges it all (because I am here and he is there), but I support him with any decision he makes because he makes the best decisions!.. The proof for Dads plaque is sent to my brother for his approval (oh my here is where i start to giggle)..There on the proof is words to the effect of...Here lies Patrick McLoughlin....ROFL...my poor brother nearly had a cardiac, you see, Dad is Peter, my brother is Patrick...mistake mr council man ..ok..mistake rectified and correct name put on plaque! THEN Pat, rings the council to see when they are allowing us to put Dad in the ground. UM well you see says same stupid council man, It's all been done!!! plaque and plot all done, ready for us to view...BECAUSE the stupid man, cant read and thinks that dad has been scattered!! SCATTERED for heaven's sake (no offence to anyone who has been scattered, or wants to be scattered, i have no views on this..but my dad is not scattered..I however am scatter-brained at the moment)... NO..Dad is with me says a rather angry brother!! oh um ok..says SCM. well bring him down here and I'll see to it...WELL my brother hits the roof, tells SCM that in no circumstances is he leaving poor old Dad with him, he'll probably end up in the bin or something. He wants to witness dad going into the ground! cant be done. pigs bum it cant! So at the expense of the council the plaque has been taken up (or should have been we will see). and Dad (hopefully)will be respectfully placed under his plaque. THIS is all happening TOMORROW (friday) Morning 10.30 am Tassie time. 9.30 Qld time. I cant be there, I even tried to get a flight but everything was booked out for today (it was meant to be). SO my brother is texting me as he gets to the cemetary, with Dad in hand, and I will stop work for a little while and say a little prayer. I think i may even take a candle to work with me. SO friends, at 9.30am tomorrow morning, could you all just say a little prayer or just think of us. It's just me and my brother, he's doing it alone down there and i'm doing it alone up here! Sometimes I wonder if we have other siblings!!!!!

sneak peak

Here are some pics of the outside of the new house, cant show the inside as it would be rude of me to showcase the occupants household items LOL..the carport is coming down! deemed unsafe by the building inspector but thats ok..also the big bat (shut up lol) is GOING! I'm sure that a witch owned the house, she had witch things everywhere inside!!! I get to go through it next Saturday to take measurements etc and to see if it has a dishwasher OMG i cant remember and if it doesn't have space for one A SPACE WILL BE MADE BEFORE I MOVE IN!!!! then, fingers crossed we may have the keys on the 23rd instead of the 31st!!! but not to worried if we dont!! Gary is itching to get at the garden and he finally has a shed that doesn't leak!!!!!

still to busy!

It's october already and i'm seriously lacking in blogging updates lately. Still busy packing and organising ready for the garage sale which is now only 2 days away THANK GOD! Puppies went in the paper to sell today too (very sad!).

• yesterday, I spent all day pricing and sorting stuff, had on my oldest most revolting pink skirt (which once upon a time was lovely LOL) it's one of those flaired ones with like sections (is it called a ra-ra? who knows i got it in England LOL) anyway, it's god ugly but good for sorting in the garage.
• Miss Emily came for the day (again) and gasped when she saw me, I knew i looked revolting but a gasp??
• OH NANNA...you look gorgeous, (child is blind), i love it, oh Nanna, can you spin around (why yes i can! nearly passing out in the process) OH Nanna, it's a lovely dancing skirt, can you dance (why i think i can!) OH NANNA you look so lovely..just like Dorothy the Dinosaur!!!!!
• NOW i'm wondering, does Dorothy own a pink skirt?? or am i FAT AND GREEN WITH YELLOW SPOTS???
• Today she asked me why i wasn't wearing HER pretty skirt...i'm thinking of giving it to her for dressups!!!

*ETA*...there will be no photo's ladies LOL the skirt is not the best photo taking material LOL and well you all know i'm fat like dorothy!!!....and now i have the damn dorothy the dinosaur song stuck in my head
