FFS Friday- Is it Christmas day today and nobody told me?

As the title says, is it Christmas today and no one told me?  FFS

Yesterday can only be described as shite house.  FFS

After my unsuccessful attempt at on line shopping I had no choice but to suck it up and go to the shops.  I had to go yesterday as it was preschool day meaning I only had 1 kid to torture with a shopping trip!!  FFS

After school drop off we hit the road and got to the shops at roughly 9.25am.  I turned into the car park and nearly drove back out.  Not a freakin car park was left.  FFS

What the hell people.  Is the world ending, is it Christmas today?  FFS

After driving around stalking people and racing other cars to the few empty spots I got one.  FFS

Go in.  Buy the baby his bread rolls.  Start filling the trolley with crap.  Baby is tired he starts whining.  Decide I got enough for one day.  Go to the check out.  ONE CHECK OUT OPEN with people lined up back through the store.  FFS

Apparently not all of the self serve ones were working either.  FFS

Another check out opens and I run for it but a lady gets there before me.  She only had a few things so no worries I thought.  FFS

WRONG.  The check out chick was commenting on and examining everything she scanned and put into bags.  FFS

Seriously, and then the lady in front of me had got something in a box so check out chick opened the box and was examining the contents.  FFS

She had three boxes and did this three times.  FFS

10 minutes later it was my turn.  FFS

I had a trolley full and she did the exact same thing to me except open the boxes.  FFS

I was silently imploding.  FFS

Was it her first day and she had never seen all the goods Kmart has to offer?  FFS

In the meantime the lady behind me was talking to the baby who kept rolling his eyes at her!!  He does this at every random stranger who talks to him.  It actually is quite funny.  The lady was very nice I got to know her well while waiting for my shopping to be scanned.  FFS

She was saying that the shops had been crazy all week.  FFS

The baby finally cracked his winning smile as we were leaving!!  I then could not face the grocery shops but did manage to go into the bottlo and got my new fave wine on special.  This is a FFS as they only had 4 bottles and it was on special.  FFS

Drove home, baby fell asleep, baby woke up when we got home and refused to go back to bed.  FFS

Luckily he likes to watch The View and Ellen.  FFS

Go to check what time my eye brow wax appointment is, turns out it was last week.  FFS

Check my lotto ticket and didn't win a cent.  FFS

Pick the big one up from school, he was asleep and not happy about being woken up.  FFS

Watch Toy Story 2 about 2 gazillion times as the remote turned up for the dvd player and I now have no excuse.  FFS

Cook dinner but not what I wanted as the supermarket was all out of everything.  FFS

Massive storm which meant one dog was barking at the thunder and one dog was hiding on my legs.  Insert 2 overtired children and what do you get?  Me locking myself in the bathroom for some time out!! FFS

Could not get the kids into bed quick enough last night!!  FFS

Other stuff from the week includes a nappy off poo everywhere scenario.  FFS

And guess which idiot ordered her children the drum kit.  FFS

Oh and 2 weeks injury free I am surely in with a chance at mother of the year??!!  FFS

Have a great weekend guys.  Linking up with Dear Baby G for the weekly whinge!!

Wordless Wednesday- Fiji 2012 part one of a million!! Marina Prior's wedding

Warriors on their way to Marina Prior's wedding.

Back right hand corner is some of the wedding party!!  View from the bar in happy hour PRICELESS!!



Flowers ready for Marina Prior's wedding

Flowers from the wedding that were left on the bar afterwards!!

No we were not invited to the wedding but we were catching sneak peaks all day!!  We were having dinner behind here!! 

Taken from the Fiji Times Online

I could not imagine a better spot for a wedding!!  In fact I told the HOTH I would marry him if we could get married here on Castaway Island!!  When you see pigs fly will be when that happens!1

 I have seen Marina in West Side story and more recently Mary Poppins and she is a true talent. She was very polite to the HOTH when she pinched a chair off our table when I had gone to the little girls room!!

Linking up with My Little Drummer Boys for wordless Wednesday!!

I haven't whinged for a while and a Thank you!!

With the dreaded "c" word fast approaching I am trying to be as organised as possible.  For 2 main reasons SAVING TIME and MONEY. 

Yesterday I thought I would dabble in some on line shopping from a large retailer, lets call them Kmart.  I had read the junk mail, knew what I was after, jumped on the website, found what I was after and then tried to add it to my "bag .  NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZERO.  I shut down the computer tried again same story.  I tried 4 times yesterday and twice this morning and could not buy anything. 

Excellent work Kmart now if I want the items I will have to either call your customer care number or go in to your shop.  Really now I am not sure I can be arsed driving to my nearest store and we don't have a landline at the moment so I would need to use my mobile which I can imagine would cost a bomb and would defeat the purpose of trying to save money.

Its a shame Kmart as you are my favourite shop and I have never had a bad shopping experience.  My local shop never has long queues at the check outs and you always seem to have the catalogue stuff.  These are two very imortant qualities when deciding where to spend the HOTH's hard earned money.  Plus in the sale on at the moment I could have pretty much finished my shopping. 

Whinge over!!

On to other stuff now.  I would like to thank everyone who has ever read this blog.  It blows me away that people read this and as a thank you I have started a little thing called "Reader's Choice" on a Thursday.  Basically give me a topic you would like to see a post on.  I have done some great topics in the last few weeks and I am really enjoying it!!  Also Tegan from Musings of the Misguided has started this and to prove how random it is I asked her to do a post on vajazzling.  Yep you read that right and if you want to know more about it pop over and have a look at Tegan's post!!

So give me a topic funny, serious whatever. If you have a topic but want to remain anonymous thats fine feel free to email me or message me on facebook and I will keep it confidential.


Linking up for the first time in a few weeks for IBOT with Essentially Jess who has a whole new name and look!!

Kim's Cake or a yummy fruit cake made with tea.

KIM'S CAKE
　INGREDIENTS400G DRIED MIXED FRUIT I could only get 375gram box so chucked in some extra sultanas
1 MUG HOT BLACK TEA  yes mug!!  The mug I used was equal to 1 and a half cups
1 MUG SOFT BROWN SUGAR - (I usually use ½ or 2/3)
2 MUGS SELF RAISING FLOUR
1 EGG BEATEN
　
　
METHODSOAK DRIED FRUIT IN TEA - OVERNIGHT OR SEVERAL HOURS.
MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER.
PLACE IN A LINED LOAF TIN OR ROUND CAKE TIN.
BAKE FOR 2 HOURS AT 160 C , 325 F ,GAS MARK 3 check after about 1 1/2 hours as in some ovens the top can start to brown.  If that happens just pop some baking paper over the top!!

I found a random disc while unpacking and popped it in the computer and found this recipe that my mum used to make all the time.  I made it last week to take to playgroup and it went down a treat!!  Its easy, yummy and best of all my kids ate it so I will be making this a lot more!!

I soaked the fruit for 4 hours as I did not want to get up early to bake it but next time I would leave it for longer.  The mixture is quite dry and I freaked out a bit but it turned out fine except I no longer have a round cake tin.  The loaf tin I have is not big enough so it kind of fell apart and does not look good, lucky it tasted great!!

I have no idea who Kim is and why a cake is named after her (or him)!!

Linking up with One Mother Hen for open slather Monday!!

FFS friday-a rotary hoe is the devils form of torture

Last weekend I volunteered to help the HOTH rotary hoe our yard.  Front and back.  FFS

Actually he said something like "this is so easy you could do it" being a smart ass. So I did.  FFS

I hoed like a boss.  I was actually pretty good at it.  FFS

That was on Saturday.  Sunday morning I could not move my arms. FFS

By Sunday night I could not lift my arms over my head.  FFS

Monday morning I was in agony.  Mondays at our place is swimming day.  It took me 10 mins to get into my cossie and rashie.  FFS

The swimming teacher decided we had not done enough humpty freakin dumpty off the wall (sit kid on the side of the pool and pull them in then turn them around so they grab the wall) for a while so we did an extended amount.  FFS

Normally the baby climbs out on his own but this week the gorgeous lump decided he did not want to climb therefore making me lift him out over my head and onto the wall.  FFS

I feel it should be appropriate to swear at a kids swimming lesson.  FFS

It would have been a funny sight watching me try to get my wet rashie off after we had finished.  FFS

The other downside to rotary hoeing is the dirt.  Its like sand only worse.  You know how sand ends up everywhere when you go to the beach well so does dirt.  FFS

And that is almost it for me.  I have had an injury/blood free week for a change.  I may even be back in the running for mother of the year.  FFS

Apart from the big one saying "for gods sake" constantly.  FFS

I have no idea where he gets it from.  FFS

One last thing I was stoked to hear Bon Jovi are coming out next year and come hell or high water I will be there.  I will not miss out again.  FFS

Unless tickets go on sale on a Monday morning which is the only time I cannot be at the computer.  FFS

Last time they were here I was 8 months pregnant and decided I did not want Jon Bon Jovi himself delivering the baby.  FFS  (the big one was 5 weeks early and I was told I would never have a full term baby, fyi the baby was induced at 39 weeks as I had gestational diabetes so in hind sight I could have gone.  ffs)

Please no hoe jokes I think we made them all on Saturday. Like when the kids needed me it was "bros before hoes".  I am hilarious I know!!  FFS

Linking up with Dear Baby G for FFS friday!!


I love the internet where you can find pictures like this!! Obviously it is not me as who the hell hoes in a skirt and smiles. FFS 

What would I do if I was a man for 24 hours.

Thanks to Tegan for choosing this topic on twitter the other night after I made her do a post on vjazzling.  I love random stuff and it was her fault for mentioning it!!

Anyway what would I do if I was a man.  Pee standing up and fart.  Easy. 

My computer is not playing nice at the moment so I will come back and revisit this important topic but for now if I were to be a man here is who I would want to be.

So what would you do if you were a man??
