Ok thanks ...

Money is good enough for now and I'm getting loads of overtime which also helps ...

Having a few drama's tho settling into the clique. One min I'm not there, the next I am ... ... but can wear headphones while working and that'll do for me ...

Takes about 12 mins to get to work which I love, especially as I was getting up at 4.30 not so long ago to be at work for 6 ...

All good really ...

You'll be part of that clique before you know it!

You could always invite them over for a barbie!

How is the tinny?

You never know!

True, but to be honest I'm not sure I like em ... There's a big group that give this old guy there a REAL lot of stick and I just don't agree with it all. I'll stay put as it's good experience but once I've sussed it all out I'll jump ship I reckon. Not a nice bunch really ...

Boat is good. Been out a good few times but am awaiting on new seats (old ones are out) and they're due here next week and we'll be off again! ...

DO love it tho, but knew I would ...

Anywayz, it's a WBG from me as am finally feeling tired ...

Baked potata!

These are a few of the beasties we have found in the last week.
Cockroaches a plenty too and now a flippin mouse! ARGH! must be all the rain, they are taking refuge in our house.
Mouse is proving harder to get rid of. Must go and get a humane trap. Can't kill the thing, 4 kids.......

Found a nest of redbacks by our pool, right next to the box we keep the kids toys in. Dosed it with Mortein and have extended the bug spray perimeter to the pool. Never ever kill a Huntsman - yes they're big and scary and can jump metres in one bound (no I'm not making that up) but they are not poisonous themselves and feast on spiders that are.

Found this little beauty had made a nest in one of our hoses, the one I just happened to want to use to clean the wheelie bin out, so I left it. Next night we found it dead. It had been killed by one of those long legged spiders with the tiny bodies. Apparently they are lethal to other spiders.

Yeah apparently Daddy Long Legs have the most poisonous venom and would kill a human, but they can't break our skin ...

Apparently I say!

I've seen them and Redbacks together and they seem to get on just fine ...

That's what I read too, but they do kill any other spiders in there way. Shame, it was a nice Redback.
