Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

Hey Suzy
Im sure the restaurant will be fun.
the girls at work are already taking the mickey out of me,
by suggesting, they can give me a big incontinance aid for the night He He

Two down, one to go...

I must find some new books to read too. I might have a look at our library

Liz, you've got to stop that. I actually snorted. That's very embarrassing!!

Not snorting I'm worried about Suzy

well, POOH! My cqmera arived, and software will not download, not compatible with something. Hubby had to get some service pack something installed on my machine and then get drivers for it . . . in other words, it ain't working! Insert photo of baby crying here. He is all unhappy, and grouchy, why did I ever try getting a web ccam? AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Brenda I do enjoy Patricia Cornwell. Blow Fly was the last book I read... I haven't read as much this year - I blame SA! - and have a collection of books I want to read. I have just started to reread Lord of the Rings, have wanted to do that for a few years now, but also have Narnia (which I haven't read), the Kathy Reich book, and several others sitting on the shelf. Then MizT suggested a Book of Bright Ideas and that sounds wonderful too!

Oh No MizT
not good now we have to wait even longer
ah well, patience is a virtue

Bummer MizT! Hubby will work it out...

Hey have been thinking all morning the 3rd of December means something to me,
just worked it out, I was engaged on the 3 rd of December 1979.
Well there you go, a bit of useless information for your useless information book

I'm haven't read much lately either so SA must be to blame, though I must say I'm not complaining I enjoy 'chatting ' to everyone and learning lots of new things

Oh MizT what a shame your camera didn't work straight away. Hope Al manages to sort the problem out

I learn a lot here too Brenda. Interesting stuff. Today I learned about tapa cloth.

Good Morning SA7,
Viv hope all the doctor appts go well and hubby enjoys his new job.
Cyn hope you have a lovely time today with your son and didn't mean to upset you it is just my warped mind.
MizT Noel the frog suits Lizzy to a T.
Vici hope you are feeling better.
Stella what sort of concert was Ian in?
Brenda when did you have time to work?
Hi Julie, love your avatars.
Will you lot stop posting so quick cannot keep up!

Hi Zusy, Liz, Mariana and Brenda
MizT will be worth the wait to get the webcam installed.
Heidi, thanks for telling your Santa story.

Going to be another warm one today, but D&D free day for me. Off to take Bella for an early walk before it gets too hot.

Hey Broni
Hope Bella enjoys her walkies
Are you back to working full hours again,
or still on short weeks ?
not so hot here, but prefer this, low 20s,

SUZY, did you learn about how to care for and hang tapa cloth art? I found a site, Bishops Mesuem, in Hawaii, have visited them before for care and cleaning of antique quilts. they had wonderful suggestions and now I know how I shall hang it. the way i was thinking of would have damaged it!

I have not found outwhat kind of plant reisin, or glue is used. I have some loose fibers and places the overlapping sheets are comming un glues and need to know what to repair i with. I shall keep looking.

Today i washed 2 loads of clothes, no blankets though. they are hanging out an although today had been sunny and windy and low humidity, they are NOT DRY! Will have to come inside an hang in Al
s bathroom on the shower curtain rod over night. His jeans will hav to go into the dryer.

I made my bows and put them on the outside lights. need 7 bows, to go at the apex of the swags of lights/ Only 4 returned from last year. I found the spool of red velvet ribbon and just enough to get the 3 bows needed. i have had this roll of ribbon for many many years, but alas, it came to an end. I told Al come next year, remind me I used it all, I am certain I shall be looking for it for something hehehe.

I must go now and make spaghetti for dinner. HOPE I have a jar of sauce, wel, if not can improvise I imagine. have not had spaghetti in some time should be good.

catch you later,

Empty house!!

Liz, an anniversary! An excuse to celebrate.

MizT, I didn't read that far, but I did learn that they use sweet potato or tapioca starch to glue it when they are making it.

Enjoy your walk Broni.

And of course everyone seems to have left now that I have an empty house. Did you set your alarms?

My boys had to sing 'Sinte Klaas' yesterday evening for Oma ( my mum).. they each got a chocolate Letter R or S.

There is a new Patricia Cornwell book out.. Scarpetta..
and guess who is getting that for Christmas !!
I have all her books !!

BTW

Got to rock and roll here..
busy day here..
catch you all later..
hope everyone has a great day/night/evening!!

I was napping, and now I have to go feed. The auctions for some of the Red Golden Pheasants end late tonight. I will need some luck.
Learning about the raccoon was not a letdown. I have always had the ability to see the humor in a situation immediately. Most people say "We'll laugh about this later." I laugh about it when it happens. Generally.

Except for when it involves IH Heidi?

Hi everyone.
Hubby has gone off to the new job this morning.
He had to take all his tools etc. so he left about 7.30am. He does not start until 8.30am in this job, finishing at 5pm, 1 hour for lunch.
Uniform is supplied. I am now about to ring up Centrelink to inform them he has found full time employment.

As far as I know though I will be on the books at the employment agency as I receive some of the Family Tax Benefit and so must look for work.

Hi Viv what sort of work would you be looking for?
And is there much work available

I don't think you have to look for work if you receive Family Tax Benefit Viv...

Like your pressie avatar BTW

Rolanda, is that sung to a tune I would recognise? Sinte Klaas I mean...

Back from our walk, going to have to go earlier in future, way too hot for me and my basset.

Coolish here this morning Broni. Overcast and about 18C.

Hi Brenda, Suzy and Heidi.
Suzy, that is what I was told by the Centrelink guy that was handling our claim. It is going up by $7 and I had to register at the employment agency as trev did.
I am just trying to get on the phone now to Centrelink to speak to the man handling our claim, but you cannot ring direct.
There is a fax no. only. I tried the main number but that is engaged! I am about to ring the employment agency to let them know about Trev, it is next door to Centrelink here so maybe she can put me through.
I shall confirm it all though when I do get to him. The rules are changing all the time.
I knew Trev would find a job but he did not want to wait, but then we could not have got any money anyhow until March 24th next year.
Brenda, I am after part time I told them at the employment agency, in an office, answer phone etc.But I have not been officially 'in' the workforce with that type of job for a long time.
Every time I saw a job come up, even though I was not with an agency I would apply for it.
Never had any luck though, I am sure my age, at 52 is against me although they should not discriminate.

I actually got to do the puzzles in the morning today! I have another long list of things I want to do, but they can wait a little longer.

Hello to Broni and Rolanda too.

Suzy

You will have to wait till Friday (5th Dec) for the rest of the 'Sinte Klaas' songs.

2 down ( Hubby and #1 son) , 3 ( Mum, me, #2 son)to go then Empty House !!

Viv, I thought you had to register if you were on parenting payments, but not for Family Tax Benefit. Lots of families have only one parent working and get that. Let me know if that's not true...
