OK I can post crap - I am upset and very down today - was going to avoid posting cause I am being very negative 
I read a post about horse riding and hown someone was going to come and do much more of it here. Ok possibly my fault for living in Sydney but that is were the IT jobs for me are. I have been here 18 months the kids have grown out of their horse riding gear and my daughter has gone three times in total - I cannot afford it. They both went every week and had full horse riding days in the UK holidays. I am feeling like a crap mother.
I also have not had a simple night out alone with my husband since the works christmas party. Which was November last year, I love my family and do enjoy our evenings together. I just want to dress up and go out.
It is bloody hot and clammy in Sydney today - I am in work not at beach and I am sweaty. I have a pool....it will be dark by the time I get home!
I have a stump under my house that I need to get removed cause of termites and no bugger will answer a phone or have anytime this side of Christmas for the work!
My retaining wall is collapsing and again I cannot get anyone to do the work this side of November.
My son woke me on Saturday Night to say we had a mouse in the house...shite possum traps ....cockie traps now bloody mice traps. Everything back into plastic ware and double scrubbing to feel clean (hope is was a field rather than house mouse). No other signs of activity, dropping or knawing though.
It is my birthday on Friday (I am going to be 39) I feel ninety and my husbands work is being nice and giving him Sunday and Monday off!
Good I feel better now I have had a moan

I do not agree with alll views here, but I enjoy reading the real replies.. whether it's for or against... you go girl... speak you mind, it dosen't matter what I think. I'm fed up of these "glossy " replies.. and it's obvious to me they are talking through you know where.
cheers

Yes me too, still unexcited about dolphins.
However dressing the pool guy up in a full wet suit and flippers is quite a good substitute, hear him squeal and the cute way he spouts water when hes happy.
Bored you must make your own fun Ceri

Wetsuits
What do you women like about men in wetsuits? Should I be worried when I run down to the beach?

Ohhh getting into this.......Oh yes the great clean fresh air in oz is yellow today in Sydney with the smog. My boss smirked when I made overtures about a pay rise.
My sticky bits have sticky bits, and I gave up on socks today...just in mules....not got to wearing thongs to office yet...few more weeks to go!
And please I am not UNHAPPY here....I just do not think it is paradise I think it is like any other place. Happiness is a state of mind and if I fancy having a moan I do not need to be told to shut up and go home. I am happy that people are happy here want to come to Aus for the brighter clearner future, no worries.
On a brighter note I found a big lizard in my garden last night...exciting, bit of an ugly beastie, the possums seem to be staying in their new box rather than my roof. Son got home from school in times for a swim yesterday even if I didn't. My daughter has taken up Taekwondo and seems to enjoy it. My pressies for my birthday have arrived early from the UK and I am getting excited and want to open them.
I am enjoying getting this out of my system.

I'm not going to tell you or anyone else to go home, and I haven't in any other posts since I joined, but I am a bit sick of people
a) saying they're sick of the light hearted positve posts, bring back PB etc, and
b) saying they're sick of the 'realistic' negative posts.
Just ignore a post if you don't like it (and Sandra I'm just directing this at whoever is reading it).
You know, I'm re-reading this post and think that I'm not practicing what I'm preaching. I'm telling people to ignore the light hearted posts if they don't like them, and to ignore the posts which are 'realistic' about Australia..... well I should just go back to ignoring the posts by people whinging about how boring it is here and missing PB.
I'll go back to my soppy posts about possums and how much I love Adelaide.

Talking of smog, I have a good view of the horizon in Brisbane and the smog is the darkest and thickest I have yet seen it - big think brown smudge across the horizon
