YAAAAAA..... A WINNER AND PEACE AGAIN!

AND THE WINNER IS:

Pfffft... he wasn't even watching what he was doing.. he was watching Bathurst on the Telly!.....

Hee hee, it took him a while to open it, every entry was cellotaped closed! There were over 335 entries! And yes, he ripped it getting it open....

And there we have it... the WINNER is : 'SPARKLINGMERLOT'. I will post your prize out to you sometime this week chick! CONGRATULATIONS.
It breaks my heart not to be able to send each and every one of you a prize.. but not possible. I THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING... and all I can say is..... I will do it all again on my 4th ANNIVERSARY!

TODAY: yeah baby yeah! Kids go back to school, and I am off to my patchwork class at Papakura.... I am thinking of making another one of those wee bags... only slightly bigger this time.

I've been asked to ring the lady who sold me my sewing machine... she saw me on Saturday at the sewing class..... where my machine DID jam up a few times.... hmmmmm???? I am feeling NERVOUS! Stupid eh?

AND ONCE AGAIN... my machine has to go back to the workshop! I AM JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH RAGE! FRUSTRATION! PISSED OFF MAJORLY! When are they just going to give me a new machine???????

I can't go to patchwork class.
ABOVE: Stew found this mix at the supermarket the other day. So we tried it... SUPER YUM... and only 2 points per serve. EXCELLENT. I'm having me a Falafel Salad for lunch today.... and 'ESTEEMED WEIGHT LOSS LEADER'... we are baking them in the oven... so NO OIL!
Since this morning I've had a yak with Stew and it's been decided that if I have any more problems with the machine after it comes back from the workshop THIS TIME, he is going to talk to the woman and insist we be given a new machine. I find her too intimidating. THERE, decision made.


This afternoon we went back to the Orthodontist ... for Brylee to be fitted with her plate:

ANNE, the Orthodontist is just lovely...

It's in.... and only comes out for tooth brushing.

Griffin was a MONUMENTAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! He kept touching things... and asking "What's this for?"... to the point where even Anne said "Don't touch that...!"... she is gunna have to sterilise a few things after our visit! LOL.

End of Day: well... didn't I have a lot to say today then? LOL. I will shut up now and watch the telly for a while! nite nite.

  10. Ring the machine shop & demand a new one, tell them that you will go to Fair Go if they do not replace it.

    Hopefully if the machine lady saw your sewing machine playing up she will see sense and replace it finally.

    Good luck with that Chris.

  14. This looks interesting. Is that the mix that you put over the top of the chicken? Looks horribly tastey.

    I think at this time I would be DEMANDING a new machine. Go to consumer affairs and see what your rights are. Something is obviously not right and yay of yays! This time you have witnesses! Goody!

    Good luck with that!
