How to get nothing done around the house!

Well after recovering from the wedding of the year I got home to what I had hoped was going to be a bit of quiet time and a chance to knock a couple of items off the ‘To Do’ list.. Yeah Right! Eldest daughter came down with chicken pox, not just the normal run of the mill variety, oh no, but the industrial strength version that had the doctor commenting “I’ve never... Read more

The song remains the same (just played to a differ

Well it goes like this ya see…. Im busy minding my own buisness on saturday morning when I get a random txt from my Ex. She has just been dumped by her man and is single again. I comfort her nicely and try to cheer her up and then she asks If we could hang out sometime. Dumbly I say yes and she replies “sweet, its good now that we can hang out and I dont have to worry about jumping... Read more

Still addicted

Spent waaaaay too much time on Facebook in the last couple of days (weeks?). We all spent the weekend slacking off doing nothing in particular. I’m pretty sure Kirsty never even got out of her jammies. I woulda done the same, only I’m a boxers-to-bed kinda guy and I woulda have to put up with Kirsty going “Put it away” or “Put some bloody clothes on”. ... Read more

The good lfe?

Have you ever considered chucking in suburbia and moving to the country? Chappy and I are almost considering giving dairy farming a go, you could say we have been pondering the idea somewhat. Having had some nosy and irritating neighbours over the years the notion of space with a view is quite alluring. I could do with some space, and so could the weenies. Just think of the vegetable gardens I... Read more

I was biting my lip but…

Over the last couple of weeks I have been biting my lip and not saying anything because i didnt want to jinx it, but now that its over so quickly I might as well let it all out. Over the last few weeks I have been seeing a nice lady I met by chance and I started taking a real shine to. We went on a couple of dates and I thought things were going quite well. We would txt and email and I thought... Read more

Oh please just take her

My poppit the 11 year old has gone away for 2 nights on her very first school camp. So in true poppit style she began packing for the trip the night before, because like you know she just can. I tried to give her some space to do it all her own, but it was hard yo ignore the screeches and expletives coming from her room. I stupidly intervened to see if I could be of any assistance only to be met... Read more

Secret Santa

Compromise has become a tool of requirement for myself and the chappy. We do many things so completely different from each other, and at times we have had to knuckle down and put our heads together, and instead of banging them we have had to come up with solutions to keep everybody happy. Everybody usually being our combined efforts of 4 weenies, aka the mini tribe. At the moment we are in... Read more

Chappy

What speaks louder to you, words or actions? This is what I love about my chappy, he does things for me that show me that he cares about me. Sure he tells me every day that he loves me, but it’s the things that he does that speak louder to me than anything that he can say. In a passing conversation a few weeks ago I told him how I miss having my own home and having my garden to tend. My... Read more
