1st was in the kitchen by the sink,huntmen,well it looked like a comedy spider,wifey just scooped it up into a glass and she took him outside,it just about fitted in the glass for christs sake!
2nd episode was just as i was getting in the car and again i seen a “comedy” spide rin the foot well,and i ran off and had a “moment with myself” while wifey was laughing,again she lent over and scooped it outside and he scurred off like no tomorrow.
I aint got a clue what id of done if it went back up the pedals,id of had to phone for help lol
The non spider action.....Got our 2 boys into a great skool called Berwick primary and they love it.
Eldest will only be there 5 weeks then next yr will have to move up a skool to a college,which are all zoned where you live
Looked at a view houese ona few nice new estates in berwick for around $350-$400 and all nice big places with 3-4 beds,but theres this crib for $500,i know its out of our budget of 400 max a week but it is a crib i tell ya with 4 big beds/cinema room/upstairs outside balcony n eatin g area over looking a big water feature kinda lake!
Lady want to leave everything in there,which in one way is cool,but we have our gear coming over soon,so maybe it will save us buying projector lol and fridge boys tv,and just box her bit n pieces up and bang our there.
We are top of that list and the rental people are going to give the owner the list and say we are ideal(estate agents words not mine) lol
They emailed uk to seak to our estate agents who sold our house,and also spoke to wifey new job peeps for money/ref checks,oh and the 6 months rent up front and $4k bond may of kinda swinged it also!!(so we will wait n see)
10 mins from our place in harkaway is a nature park that has loads of bbq with help yaself wood and throw it in the bbq and have some fun,oh and there wild roos wandering around at dusk too(seen 4)
Parrots are popular like black birds at home,loads of em!
Got a v8 ford falcon being dropped off Saturday by the owner,went to melton for a viewing and shook on it and he is bringing it over,ok it needs 4 tyres n a road worhy ticket(anyone know a place in berwick?) and joba agood un!
We drove into city and wife nipped into her new employers at the childrens hospital and cant wait,even though she is nervous,she cant wait(2 weeks start from now)

Re: on our Adventure
If it was my iphone,i would get it jail break'd!
I have a few friends with 5 full pages of "free apps" and even the app where you can have 5 apps in a row is coolio!
Like i say "my" sim free app works ace and is highly recommended
Depends if ya like apps though

Re: on our Adventure
I do like apps, but there is a high risk when u jailbreak ur iphone of it 'bricking', which means basically it turns into a glorified paperweight and wont work AT ALL! I'm more than chuffed that it now will be an officially unlocked iphone, have been trying to find a way of doing it legally for months, even tried to talk the apple shop into it one time lol
