Ditto that MF ;D

I love getting letters from my littl sponsor girl, her English is very cute to read because she hasn't quite mastered it yet :D She told me that her cottage came first in the singing competition last year, it makes me so happy for her :D

happy that we just had the best 5 weeks with my sister and nieces and nephews but also very sad that today they have gone home, certainly going to be quiet around here and back to cooking for 6 not 14 had it down to a fine art too  ;D

I take my hat off to you Suzanne, I couldn't do that many people for that long in a pink fit - it would be meltdown big time for me.

After 2 weeks of trying every avenue to contact a Fairfax company, sometimes holding for 30-45 mins a time, emails, etc I managed to circumnavigate myself to actually get to speak to a real person. He had to listen to my frustration first as I was only trying to pay an invoice. Not good enough for a multi national company like that to admit to being short staffed when there are many people who would step up if given the opportunity.  

time lapse: Hey what do you know, I've since had a follow up call  :D

Happy also its nearly lunchtime cos my stomach is growling

Happy that I had such fun at Kitchen Warehouse and got such a bargain with my crisp maker like Chookie's.
