Re: Petty Worries.
Lawnmower repair guys expert opinion:
"Its f&^ked - these things are really shit lawnmowers in the first place you should never have bought it - Its a piece of crap and the repair would cost more than its worth..." , He only gave me that opinion after refusing to look at it for 2 weeks because, "I've got a shop full of better mowers to look at - so I'll look at yours once I've dealt with the decent ones"
Obviously a highly motivated professional with excellently honed customer service skills.

I'm irritated that I read this thread as being 'pretty woman'

Re: Petty Worries.
I was watching tv last night, flicking between the monster cyclone coverage and the bloody, camel trampling conflict in Egypt. And I said to myself, I am so tired of buying bananas and watching them go soft before they get eaten. I say forget about the big stuff and let's focus on the little things. As the cyclone swirls, the fighters fight, the volcanoes bubble, the bombs blast and the blizzards bite... what's insignificantly irritating in your world right now?

Strange lumps in the milk. Could this be why it's cheaper lately?

First Born took it upon herself to post a 10c coin into our car's CD player. We can't get it back out. It can still play CDs, but only if you're driving on a very straight and non-bumpy stretch of road (heaps of those in Sydney!); first corner you encounter the coin moves and the CD stops working.
The Gorilla spewed cottage cheese all over me and I now honk.
I am struggling to remember why having children seemed like a good idea.

One day, Peggy bloody Patch had squirrels at her stop on the Playbus. The boys were concerned that they had nothing to eat and decided to 'feed' them by posting handfuls of acorns into the video recorder.
Could have been worse I suppose, it could have been tubby custard.

Yeah, it's effing ridiculous. What's worse (in Vic) is that they are doing people for 3km/h over the limit! No wonder the revenues are so high.

A note about the astro turf possibility. We have a small patch of back yard with astro turf. It looks nice and quite natural but it is impossible to stand on with bare feet when the sun gets on it - it is just too hot - so to me that makes it unfit for purpose. Worth bearing in mind if anyone is considering this as an option.
