football yobbos

Yesterday was my niece Bronwyn's 6th birthday..... Happy birthday Bronnie
There is a pressie on its way to you.

Today is the 5th anniversary of my nephew passing away...time goes so fast doesn' t it.. and on Saturday...Mum will have been gone for a year already where the heck does the time go???

I was talking to Erics football coach and the team manager ( good friends of ours) the other day... they were telling me about a fight that broke out on the other oval... between two fathers..... one father....(lets call him 'Moron') called out to his son....something like 'takle the faggot' or 'get the faggot'....yes....he yelled that out at an under 12's match....well the father (lets call him 'Good'O') of the boy whom he called a faggot went and confronted him.
Then it turned into a yelling and pushing match between 'Moron' and 'Good'O'

Its a kids game, they are there for fun..... they certainly don't need to be called disgusting names ... this 'Moron' father should be banned from the oval...I think

I think I might join the football committee...and see what can be done about this crap... I don't understand football myself...but I do help out on the committe if I can...like Pie Night... etc...

This just makes my blood boil.......grrrrrrrrrr

on a lighter note... lol... I have finally finished Ngaires challenge 'birds' from scrap your scraps....come on over and join a challenge...come on.... we do need some visitors

I'll love ya long time

shepherds pie flaming...

lmao... I asked a question on a cooking website about shepherds pie and said something like shepherds pie was made with lamb mince....boy was that WRONG thing to do....I got 2.....not just 1 full page lectures about how 'real' shepherds pie IS still made with lamb mince.....and the shepherds pie I refer to is not shepherds pie but something else entirely...lol ....I will continue to make SHEPHERDS PIE the way I have been shown how to make it and I will continue to call it SHEPHERDS PIE.....yes indeedy...

updated the music again.... it's The Long Ryders -Lookig for Lewis and Clark... yet more music from the 80's ...I love 80's music

The kids are back safe and sound after their trip into Melbourne on Monday.....arriving there just after it went into shut down after the shooting...boy there would have been some tense parents back here on that day...!!!

I'm in a scrapping mood lately ...wonder how long thats gonna last this time.

catchin' up

I'm still feeling sick...off to the doctors in 30 minutes..

I've just been cleaning Em's room again..god that girl keeps some crap in her room...lol....it'll look so much better once we get the new drawers in there... just have to find the baskets....and the time for Mark to build the frame.

We get a carvan delivered on Tuesday for David to sleep in... (pulling my sad face here) he's keen to go into it...when it's ready... its one of those old silver ones... but its in really good nick and for $200 ...who can complain...its going to need renovating inside...but should look ok once its done.

We've been offered a free double bed for Eric..just have to find the room in his room for it...lol..

Mark sold his bike ...got what he was asking for it...and he thinks he should have his new one by Wednesday....he seems dead set on it coming in the house to live at least for awhile ...till we get the garage sorted. ..it is sooo full of crap..and other stuff you can't swing a cat in it. (not that I'd swing a cat, I love my cat)

I've added a video clip above... hopefully will update that weekly with an old or new fave..
The first one is Jason and the Scorchers....singing 'white lies'....i soooooo used to love this band back in the 80's... *sigh*
