Gratituesday #1

What am I Grateful for this Gratituesday? My boys. My beatuiful, miracle, little cheeky monkeys.

After years of infertility & then birthing them prematurely at 30w4d, I thank God every night that the are healthy & (touch wood), don't have any lasting health issues because of their prematurity.

I especially am thankful, when I read stories like (*Warning*. Loss of a child mentioned) this & this. My heart & thoughts go out to the families of these little Angels.

Footy Frenzy Friday #6

Well Footy is Back, but we didn't go last night. Long story, cold & wet...

Anyway, the Tigers got beaten again, but not by that much.

From AFL.com.au

Blues hold on
A SIX goal performance from Coleman Medalist Jack Riewoldt was not enough to get Richmond home as Carlton shook off their third quarter blues to steady in the last term and win by 20 points.

Carlton led by 22 points at half time but a six goal turnaround in the third quarter saw Richmond lead by 14 but Carlton's class shone through in the final term, the Blues running away from a courageous and much-improved Richmond.

Carlton kicked 14.20 (104) to Richmond's 13.6 (84)

Carlton were led to victory by inspirational skipper Chris Judd, who has 22 touches and kicked a timely goal, and Marc Murphy, whose 19 first-half touches helped give Carlton a 22-point buffer at the main break.

Mitch Robinson was also brilliant for Carlton, with 29 touches.

Jack Riewoldt led the way for the Tigers with six goals in a tough performance up front while Chris Newman and Daniel Jackson both started the season in good touch.

More to come

Footy Frenzy Friday #5

>> Insert Post Here <<

Oops!! It's 3pm Monday & I forgot about this post. LOL!!

Footy starts this Thursday, with Richmond taking on Carlton at the MCG. We will obviously be going, so I'll have something to post about next week.

For us, we received our Brisbane memberships late last week. The idiots stuffed them up, by not sending me my free hat voucher & by sending everyone a gold membership pack. Now as that doesn't sound all bad, for me who has been a member for ages, I am a little pissed that they can just send these to anyone (it's a stuff up) & for someone like me, has had to earn my stripes so to speak. I called them to get my free hat voucher & told them about their stuff up. Apparently they are going to send us out the proper packs that we are supposed to have. And what about the other people that they stuffed up.

Oh well.

Crazy Hair Day 4 Kids



Yesterday was Crazy Hair Day 4 Kids, which is part of the Leukaemia Foundation's World’s Greatest Shave.


What it’s all about? Every March thousands of people shave, colour and wax their hair to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. It’s one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events, it’s also the most fun!




When I dropped the boys off at Daycare I noticed the poster & the girl told me all about it. She said if I didn't want them to colour their hair (coloured hairspray), then it was OK, but I didn't mind & dropped a few gold coins in the donation box on the way out.




When I got home, this is what I found.

Wednesday - Toasties
Thursday - Toasties
Friday - Tuna Patties & Salad
Saturday - Tuna Patties & Veg

Footy Frenzy Friday #3

A bit of a quiet week for us on the footy side. The main season doesn't start for another 3wks & our teams are out of the Nab Cup & playing in the Nab Challenge (practice matches which are held all over the countryside).

The Tiges played the Power in Alice Springs & got smashed, while the Lions were taught a lesson by the Bulldogs at Princes Park.

This week Richmond is playing Hawthorn in Shepparton & Brisbane is at Princes Park again playing Melbourne.

Prisoner

Does this sound familiar?


To celebrate the return of the iconic drama PRISONER to Australian television, FOXTEL's 111 HITS has re-recorded the original theme song, On the Inside with acclaimed Australian singer Ella Hooper .

The former Australian No.1 single is written by Allan Caswell and was originally sung by Lynne Hamilton.

Although the original track is well loved by fans globally, Ella's iteration adds a new and fresh element - whilst still honouring the show's inherent values.

PRISONER premieres March 7 on 111 HITS, and will run weeknights at 6:30pm on FOXTEL and AUSTAR.

I Loved Prisoner. Although I was only 8 when it ended, I still remember watching it on Channel 10 on Tuesday & Thursday nights.

Now Prisoner is back on Australian (it was on UKTV when we first got Foxtel in about 2006), on 111hits, starting from episode 1 & going all the way through to episode 692 (the final episode).

The above (as noted by 111hits), is a new version of the original theme. First time I heard it, I was disgusted. IMO, the original is better. Even the Living End released a version of it a few years ago. But Ella's version is growing on me.

I can't wait to re-live the lives of those women in Wentworth Detention Centre. A time to go down memory lane with Bea, Lizzie, Doreen, Franky, The Freak & others.
