Yooo hoo - where are you?

[Neenie1]

Hey where is everyone lately? Seems rather quiet.

I think I might just go and make some noise lol.


Hope everyon is having a good day.

Neenie.....grannie is never far away....

 

[sparassidae]

I'm here too

Hey Neenie- you know that song on Play School "I like noise, I like quiet"? We definitely relate to the "I like noise"

 

[norbie]

Hellooooo Nooooooorbie, where are you?
I am always here - but have a little time problem now to get the Vegie and Berries garden going. It's spring, the buisiest time, but beautiful

 

[Neenie1]

Yeah today is quiet at home for me, but tomorrow I am busy.

I love that play school song. My little girl likes the noise too. (whereas my son likes the quiet) Oh my little girl is still sleeping after I put her down at 11. So I am thinking it's time to go and make a bit more noise.

 

[tgg]

I'm here.

 

[saki]

Hey Neenie~!

I'm always around here! *WAVE*

I had a such a busy day... I woke up at 6ish and then went to see my new house because I'm moving on Sunday! So we were carpet hunting/shopping....so tired right now ... sighs . Early night tonight for me, but I have to get up very early in the morning tomorrow too! Sighs...

Thanks, now that song is going to be stuck in my head

My girls were great tonight, they were both asleep by 7pm. Yay, mummy time (I'm such a party animal, I may even stay up until 9pm )

I've tried to be really good this week with not eating junk food, but I love a nibble of something when the girls are asleep (you know, the stuff I tell them is no good and that you shouldn't eat). So now, I have the craving, but I deliberately didn't buy anything in an effort to be good. *Contemplates having breakfast cereal to fill the void*

[Neenie1]

Yes Kristy - I like a bit of cereal in a mug with a bit of milk. Very nice healthy snack.

I probably should be doing the dishes right now. We had play group this morning. Em came back covered in watermelon but it was still fun. I "suspect" she is asleep now as there is no noise coming from her room. So she is probably sleeping. Then it's school pick up, husband pick up (I'm a taxi driver lol) then it's the WEEKEND. Yippee.

Yeah, we do that too I was saying something to a friend one day about needing to eat healthier. She was like "how could you eat any healthier". Me: "oh well, during the day is one thing, but it's the chips after the children are in bed that's the worry"

Yeah me too.

I'm trying to stick to diet jelly (Coles does a nice one, which is actually nicer than Aeroplane) and low fat yoghurt.

Most nights it works. Otherwise there are always rice crackers. Fantastic does a nice one called Honey Baked Ham. It's all good, but I have to hide them from dh, becuase they are pretty expensive (well not really but compared to the price for chips they are)

*Salutes* the Salvo's here. And I'm here to help!

 

[Bamboo_Chicken]

I'm more of a lurker because of time, but I'm around nonetheless .

 

[Neenie1]

He he, I should really be a lurker too. As it is I think I had better get going or we will be late for church.

What a Salvo thing to say!

How's everyone's Monday going?


I am hoping it's going to rain tonight, because we desperately need it.

It's hot and dry today, 31C, there is a bit of a wind but it's a hot wind.

I went out and checked my seeds (I put some zucchinis in a a few weeks ago and they have just started popping up) and a snail has already gotten in and killed one of them. So cranky. I don't want to put snail killer around because of the kids.

Currently 34 degrees here in Western Sydney.

For snails- I tend to do late night or early morning raids to pick them off by hand.

Or you could get a pet duck- they love to eat them and make great pets.

Apparently beer attracts and then drowns snails. Here is one method I found online:

• get a plastic bottle, cut a flap on either side and fold them down, like a ramp into the bottle.
• put some beer in the bottle, leave the lid on to keep the rain out
• bury the bottom of the bottle in the garden, so the snails will crawl up the ramp, into the beer and drown.

Hope this helps

 

[tigercub]

Yup we definitely need rain. Theres a large fire on the northsideor Brisbane atm...actually I don't know how large the fire is; but there is a lot of smoke.

Has anyone been watching the news RE; the awful events involving youth on the Sunshine Coast? Theres been like 3 incidents in the past couple of months, including most recently the murder of a young man (apparently over a spilt drink at a nightclub)

 

[GodsoldierClintus]

No I haven't. Has that been on the curious mail?

Oh yes, snails love beer very much. Just a saucer will do beside your plants with beer. It's a waste of good beer - but it helps. And you are right, don't use any chemicals, good on you.
