While I sat with the kids over lunch one of the boys who had gobbled up his vegemite sandwich and was eyeing off my daughters 2 minute noodles. The kids like to eat them raw as a snack, with or without the flavouring sprinkled over them. I had to go down the street to get my own lunch so I offered to buy him some. The order quickly became more packets for other mates. Whilst in the supermarket icy poles were on special and since the temp has risen decided a packet of 20 was a nice treat for their hard work and good behaviour. Come hand out time and it was like having hot chips at the beach and being surrounded by screaching seagulls, all swabbling for some scraps. Kids are so funny with some trying their best to trick me into giving them one. I had a great day helping them out and have put this on my must do more of list for 2008.
January Jobs update...
I did get the BBQ finished and although she's not the newest and flashest model, we were so pleased to have her back in action. And like all good friends, having her back was almost like she'd never left us. It felt really good. The BBQ was a wedding present given to us by my side of the family and was pretty flash back then (10 years ago) with it's wok burner. Considering I've only used that part once or twice, who needs a big fancy BBQ with all the bells and whistles.
As you can see hubby was extremely pleased and grateful for it's return. The timber's been sanded and oiled, the gas hoses replaced and everything painted and rust proofed. To complete this little job and to protect my hard work I even bought it a rain coat. Here's to many more good aussie BBQ's in the future!
Hmmm... finish painting the tin fence should be on Februarys list! But I won't be too over ambitious with feb's list as I'II be returning to work next week. That should put a slow to the job completions around here.
