Default The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good

Well, the excellent, but that would've ruined the thread title. Today saw the arrival of two little bundles of joy, twin boys, for my brother and his wife. Welcome to Liam and Finn (Easily pronounceable Irish names for the Aussies!)

The Bad

Next Monday the new MODL comes out ... who knows what will happen? Onshore PR application lodged last Aug (yep, just before the Sept processing changes came in!!)

The Ugly

Last night I stood on a cockroach. It did not immediately crunch and smush but started a very noisy breakdance on its back! It was in the laundry room and all I have to say is ..... ewwwwwwwww (It, on the other hand, did not say much as it died outside the back door )



Feel free to add your own GBU!!
cheers

The good
I went out yesterday to Textile Traders and got 9 metres of fabric - enough to make 3 shirts, a pair of pants and a skirt - for less than $75. All 50/50 cotton/linen, so will be nice for summer. I know, I'm a saddo

The bad
My one day off per month was taken up with appointments AGAIN!!!!!!!

The ugly
My car is so ****ing dirty it's not blue anymore. I'm too lazy to wash it, so guess it's going to stay that way until we get some rain.

My wife found them this morning. They had fallen out the back of a drawer onto the bottom drawer support.

Phew! greatly relieved.
