    That's a bit harsh. What about the big scandal about Nigella's Avocado on Toast?

    Yeah I think it was something like she tried to eat the cocaine and she choked on it. Does that sound about right? :p

    Stressing out about my first home build.

    Prefer to fly to Melbourne and do day trip to the displays directly, but there's no cheap flights on weekends. Then need to arrange day care for the dog. And needing to talk to the sales people.... I don't like most sale people :confused:

    How's this for a first world problem.

    Sitting here at work getting frustrated because I can't think of a good first world problem to add to this thread.

    Problem 1....I missed a nail appointment because I was helping daughter move on Monday.. Had to re schedule but had trouble, because I had a hair appointment on Tuesday and a massage booked on Wednesday :)

    Problem 2..... I have waited for ages to find a cheap robot vacuum on gumtree to use in my office in the factory. FINALLY got one yesterday :) Then decided I had better sweep the bulk of the aluminium dust up before I let the vac loose.

    I bought a mailbox with a secure parcel drop facility. So far, out of four parcel deliveries, I've had one left on top of the mailbox, one left in the garage, one where the driver handed it over personally, and a card left. There were people at home each time; the parcel drop has not been used.

    I couldn't decide what phone to buy next so I bought both of the new Nexus phones. Still having trouble deciding which one I want to keep. Also contemplating the iphone 6s.

    Cheers,

    Her now ex-husband choked and abused her in public.....and then her Prince Charming tried to discredit her reputation when she tried to divorce him with claims of her being a drug addict.

    I'm sorry - I don't see the humour. Just because she is/was a high profile celebrity, doesn't make her experience of domestic violence any less real.

    Yeah, only in the last couple of weeks.
    Not being harsh, she got choked by her husband and it was all over the news.

    It always seems to rain on a Friday at the moment - which means Little Athletics will be cancelled in the morning again.

    But they typically don't announce that it has been cancelled until around 7am once they have had a chance to inspect the track/field, so I still need to get up early to check, just in case it hasn't been cancelled.

    And if it is cancelled, my son misses out on another chance to set a PB and I miss out on another chance to bask in his glory ('tis the only reason I get up so early on a Saturday morning!! :p )

    I think the BoM would call this current rain by it's meteorological term: "******* down".

    I don't think I'll even bother setting an alarm in the morning!

    They sell frozen mango for about $8 per kg ($4 in 500g bag), I use this for smoothie instead, no ice needed :)
    Sara Lee mango is in 1 kg bag if they stock it (usually in woollies) - their mango is sweeter. Price is about $10
