Mom decides to tell me all

My Mom rang me last week to reveal to me that she had a savings account opened for me as a child and that there was now over $20,000 in there for me to use to help with a deposit for a house! I couldnt belive it to be honest and am delighted beyond believe […]

Myself and Rob have somewhere to go!

Ok , so some of my friends will wonder about me when they read this. But i dont care , I love Rob (my border collie!) so much that I signed himself and myself up for Zoo Too , a site dedicated to pets and their owners. Note that i put the pets first […]

Keeping the roof over our heads as the wind blows!

We were stuck last week trying to figure out how to keep a roof on during crazy weather we’re having down here. Sand storms are blowing the roof away and impossible to get it on. We bought a set of air tools online so that we can try work harder without having to break our […]

These shoes were made for skating!

I’m looking for a present for my niece, its her birthday next week. She’s really keen on ice skating so I’m thinking of getting her some skate shoes. Its not something you’d come across in the shops out here so I’m looking on line for them. Hope this isn’t a passing phase she’s going through […]

The cost of a friendship

Thinking of setting up a new side line business for myself – laptop rental. I think there’d be a great call for it out here. It’d work like video rental but at a higher cost obviously! Incase you’re wondering where this has come from, I’ve had several people ‘borrow’ my laptop for 5 minutes here […]

Get in shape without breaking a sweat

I was flicking through the pages of some magazine left in the mess room earlier and I saw this article about yet another diet drug, Phentermine, that’s now available. Thankfully I have a fast metabolism and that combined with the heat out here means I don’t need pills to keep the weight off. Might let […]

Should know better at my age.

I’ve been doing up my car recently and decided to ‘pimp’ my ride, kind of! I picked up a nice set of alloys and spoilers for the rear. I was going to go all out and get a bull horn for the bonnet but I settled for a bull bar instead. The car was looking […]
