4. Leave passive aggressive notes all over the windscreen for shitty/inconsiderate parkers.

10.... cut the top of, decorate it with permos (perminant markers/ sharpies), pop a tealight in and have a fancy silhouette candle holder... Here are some I prepared earlier...(we'll 2litre and 3 litre bottles ... but same shit different bucket and all that) So what's 10things you cando with a Post It?

Popping in from the office to say to @Kris be kinder to yourself chooky. The first year is hard for many of us, some get lucky and quitting is easy, like flicking a switch....some get it really hard and it's stop start stop start very heavy slug BUT most of us fall somewhere in the middle. Every day you don't smoke you win. 1 step at a time, 1 day at a time and I promise you at least one of us here has felt exactly the same as you have at 1 stage in their quit.... you got this...trust yourself look how much you have achieved. @jillar wot can I say, Birdie is just a ditz..probably gets it from me. @Doreensfree... hoping fir a full and quick recover soon for them both. the summer storms have been wild this year, had to pull over on the freeway the other night because I couldn't see and cars were aqua planeing. Let me just say I was not comfy at all sitting in Emergency last night...I could just feel those little covid fruckers crawling all over me.

It's bin a while... but naughty naughty ( o ) ( o ) Yes I am a teenage boy

@Doreensfree ... omg how are Nicky and Chris weren't laid up too bad and are on the mend. Work is pretty good as they are supplying anyone going into the office with RA tests, so have a daily test pretty much.

Drinking a cuppa. So the kid has a broken foot. Plaster for the height of summer, what joy. Funniest Irish doctor who spent the whole time telling the kid how much she loved her name and ranga hair. And then her nurse was a scouser...was like having Doreen to look after us. They were taking bets on what the X-rays result would be. So for the Americans in the room....X-rays, plaster, some nice pain killers and a set of crutches.... cost $40 (Aussie money, so about $30 us) and that was only because I opted to buy the crutches. Social health ain't an evil thing my friends.

So right now, I'm sitting with said kid in the emergency room waiting for her to get an xray... why you ask? Because she thought jumping up and down on a foot that was asleep and numb to "wake it up" was a good idea... no so much now.

Nope....she was just too lazy to walk from the room she was in to the room I was in and the torrential rain on the roof meant I didn't hear her when she yelled. Just being a lazy teen.

Talking to my daughter on the mobile within 5he same, single story, 3 bedroom house..... Also enjoying an awesome summer thunderstorm even though I know my car will probably be bogged tomorrow.

So I've never actually seen Love Actually. Saw Jason and the Argonauts at the drive in with my parents a special treat before I started prep (kindergarten or whatever it is you call the first year of school where you come from) and had nightmares for a month and decided I was never ever going to school (my school bag had been packed for a month).

Drooling.... little brother just sent me a pic of today's catch.... Red snapper, crayfish and in the bottom of the sink some fresh squid.....he's only a 6 hour drive away.....hmmm

I.... omg happy New year @beazel.....so glad to so your still going strong.

Oh @Mee my hearts breaking for you. I'm so frickin angry with you brothers, they are total c u next Tuesdays. Just remember they need to live with their actions and look at themselves in the mirror. Users, betrayers, selfish cunty scum suckers, that's what they need to live with. You selflessly gave of yourself for your parents for years, ensuring despite their cruelty and faults they could live their lives complete with their crazy dunny paper rituals. You did it with grace and omg how you continued to turn the other cheek is beyond me. I know this seems harsh but I think it's time to cut the dead wood and rot from your life. Your brothers are like a malignant, cancerous tumour on your happiness....cut them off, blood and genetics are just an accident of fate (seriously is there any chance your parents bought the wrong baby home from hospital cos you are nothing like these nasty shits) and the family you chose and made for yourself us pretty bloody fantastic...you have lots of love and acceptance out there with your hubby, kids, inkaws, grand kids, friends, us .... you deserve and are so much better than them. Wash your hands, say goodbye and heal.

Just realised next year baby boo2 will turn 1!

We had seafood for new years too...crayfish, prawns, abalone, sea urchins and some flathead.

Fresh warm bum nuts..... so glad I can still have eggs every few days.

Just wondering what a gallon is... to 5he google.... 3.8 litres....well...um... 5. Play some music?

You Can't Stop The Music.... but only after midnight on new years eve

Devilled Eggs are a thing down here too... If I'm taking them to an event with dad's relos we do Bogan Devilled Eggs.... for every 6 hard boiled eggs, peel, cut in half scoop out the yolks and add 2 tbs mayonnaise, 1 tbs curry powder and a pinch pepper, mix and stuff back into egg whites then sprinkle with paprika..... if I'm off to mum's relos I whip out me Country Women's Association cookbook and mix my egg yolks with 1/3 cup Mayo, 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Finley chopped chives and 1 of finely chopped flat leaves parsley. Now I want a curry egg and lettuce sanga, guess I'll have one for lunch today.

Happy New Year.... Bit of a quiet on down here... gathered at me dad's place for a cut throat game or 2 of euchre and then some trivial pursuit...watch the fireworks on telly and now watching the tradition 12:15am viewing the musical classic, You Can't Stop the Music.... not sure if it's just an Aussie thing to show this movie every new Years. Wishing you all a safe, happy, prosperous and healthy 2022.

Watching New Years Eve fireworks....greetings from 2022.

Meanwhile, Down under Its Christmas Day, well 12.32am.... stick in isolation pending a negative test result but at least the soundtrack is good... Now if you were an Aussie parent you'd have all the dance moves to this one down pat.... cos Santa Claus is coming....

I use an Aussie brand Android smartphone. I'm having issues too so might even be a regional issue. I can post links but can't post pictures, even screenshots, also can't post gifs. Just thought it was my old crap phone.
