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.
whoo hoo kids back to school! so not looking forward to going back today hope you had a good weekend

OH WOW! Thanks so much Chris. I am over the moon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant start to the week.
Have a great day, chook.
Congrats to sparklingmerlot! Good luck on the bag and your enjoy your peach and quiet:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Sparklingmerlot.
ReplyDeleteShe is a lucky winner, such nice prizes. I still do love that big platter. Enjoy your new week with some freedom from the kiddos.
Ring the machine shop & demand a new one, tell them that you will go to Fair Go if they do not replace it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully if the machine lady saw your sewing machine playing up she will see sense and replace it finally.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that Chris.
Jackie
Your prizes each day were so cute! I think you had fun doing that!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope they sort you out with a DECENT working machine. Must be really stressful each and every time.

congrats to the winner. Kids at school enjoy Chris. shame about the sewing machine when are they going to say hey this maching is a dud and give u a new one
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting. Is that the mix that you put over the top of the chicken? Looks horribly tastey.
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteWow Brylee looks like she is beeing very brave, My Kasey sounds like Griffen can not help herself but touch things. Argh got to love them.
ReplyDeleteWell done sparkling!!
ReplyDeleteThat horrible sewing machine of yours. I would be wanting a new one by now too!
Back to school AND the orthodontist? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my kids don't have a fall break lol
ReplyDeleteHope the plate isn't too painful!
Must have been great to have the kids back in school. Good luck getting a new sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winnder! I can't believe that you machine has to go back to the shop again. Mine is there for a service now, so he better get it right.
