Mattress is OK, thank the gods. Just sheets, pjs and me and this is all easy to fix. Time for a new hwb I guess.
Hot water bottle just woke me up cos sprang a leak. Only by now it's a slightly warm water bottle which is a relief. And it's only on its third year of use. Damn. TGF mattress protector. Would not be fun drying a mattress this time of year.
Does seem that they're setting themselves up to fail - and each to have enough material to put the blame on the other. Shit show coming up, so I would suggest distancing yourself - you have enough to cope with with your own responsibilities. They need professional help (and sounds like both need a good kick up the backside too).
There's a reason why airlines stress that you should put on your own oxygen mask BEFORE putting them on your kids.
Damfino why anyone actually buys mayonnaise. It's so damn easy to make and soooo much nicer.
There is a homemade monte carlo shaped hole in my life. Please send help (and monte carlos).
Gas, electric or induction? Eeek for a Sunday morning.
Fire extinguishers - who knew? 30/50 - quite pleased with myself.
Keep one empty one to use as something to do with your hands when the need strikes. Helps a lot.
Just had a look at the AFL ladder after tonight's games. There are 6 teams on 32 points. If Hawthorn wins over West Coast tomorrow, they'll join them for 7 teams. Even though they'll have a crappy percentage. Next few rounds will be interesting.
You need TWO ball peen hammers? Or are they display copies only?????
You can't go wrong with Julia Childs' recipie - many heaps of vijos on youtoob. This is the old school classic, and takes a fair bit of work and time. The good side is that the raw pastry freezes well, so making a large batch and only using the portion you need for one use, and then for the next use 90% of the work is already done - at least until the stash is used up. Recommend using unsalted cultured butter for the authentic flavor. The original and best.
For quick pastry, I like using the Womens Weekly Rough Puff for savory recipies - so quick and easy and the results taste just fine though the texture is not quite as flaky. Again, one zillion recipies on youtoob. You can play a bit fast and loose with the proportions for this recipie depending on what you have available, so it's a very user friendly method. The only real secret is using chilled water to mix and resting the dough before rolling out and using. This weather is perfect for pastry - it's a pain to make in hot weather.
Post office usually has a range of cardboard boxes for the purpose - bound to be one of an appropriate size. Or hit your local IGA for a cardboard box.
Many Australians can now access surveillance tech, but this can lead to disputes between neighbours. Here's a breakdown of some of the legal issues that can crop up.
This is getting more and more relevant all the time.
A bowl of delicious vegetable soup with crusty bread and a nice ripe camembert to smear on it. With coffee please Bacon.

> Just came back from brunch with a friend - she'd cooked a very nice variation on hashbrowns. > Thinnish layer of mashed spud in a lined lamington tray, layer of smoked salmon, another layer of mashed spud. Then chilled, cut in sections, breaded and fried. > End result was a hash brown with a distinct layer of fish in the middle.

Found that Coles now stocks Mitani's Chicken Salt. The original and best. Fairly cheap too at $3 or so. They also do a house brand but I don't like that so much.
