Congratulations to all the winners at dgficexchange! There were some brilliant fics! Now that we’re allowed to tell, I wrote Truth Will Out for scarlettrayne2. I’ve already started posting it to FIA and the other archives for anyone who wants to read it gradually or you can visit dgficexchange, where it’s posted in all its glory ( Read more... )

Mitch had some good news today! One of his close friends and football team members was thinking about moving to the other side of Australia to live with his father, but he’s decided against it! I’m so happy for his mum, who is a friend of mine, because just the thought of it was breaking her heart ( Read more... )

I discovered I’d got a lot further through the kids booklists than I thought. What had been a chaotic shopping trip turned out to be quite fruitful *g* I picked up a few more things today, but the rest has to wait until I can get to the educational bookstore sometime next week, because there are text books and very specific items to be purchased ( Read more... )

My not so adorable son is on borrowed time as of eight o’clock this morning. The bugger texted me! I was still sleeping! Why? Because I could ;P Well, up until that moment anyway ( Read more... )

She was making sure none of our kids were at the beach this morning (sometimes the Mitch and his mates head out early for fishing or ( Read more... )

I had my wisdom tooth out yesterday. It actually came out pretty easily, which I’m incredibly grateful for - I was having all sorts of nightmarish visions due to the position it was in (right at the back of my gum on the rear side - it didn’t bother me, but it was terribly hard to brush). I still feel dreadful, but I’ll be good in a couple days ( Read more... )

Hubby went to a 21st birthday party at the football club last night. It was a sports theme party, so everyone dressed up. Most of the players at our club are really good at dressing up and making fools of themselves, so nights like this are generally a lot of fun ( Read more... )

I picked hubby up at lunchtime today. I arrived at the club just as they were getting off the bus. Most were still very drunk and even more were trying to drink their way through hangovers *giggles* Apparently, there were a few sick boys on the way home and anyone who dared fell asleep on the bus had really bad tequila trickled into their mouth ( Read more... )
