Hi everyone, does anyone have a bailey caravan? if so, what do you think of it?

The Kings Highway will be closed from 1pm - 2pm on Mon 1st April, also Tues 2nd and Wed 3rd. They are doing some blasting. There are several roadworks on the route - but on the weekend they don't work so it took the same time to do the trip today as usual.

In case you haven't heard, Brown Mountain - the way you take from Bega to Cooma to Canberra, is still closed after recent rains and a landslide.

We tow a Suzuki beind the M/H & this morning I drove the few 100m into town for a loaf of bread. Then Keith went off for a drive & as he went up the road a small snake (probably a tree snake) crawled up his leg & then across the passenger seat. he handled the matter quite calmly & got it outsi...

Maybe too much of a Cynic but. It is a nice thing to do to help a charity doing their thing. But are you as disolusioned as I am when the true facts come out about their fundraisng and how much actually goes to those who need the help?

There is a new iPhone app from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation called - HELP ME. It is 0.99cents and may well be just for you. Just info, have a look at it and get it if you want.

Got Mrs Tony a Kindle for her birthday yesterday and she has got it up and working and has already bought and downloaded a book from Amazon. It was just sitting on a table. No wires or computer connection. Frankly I find it a bit spooky! Came with a DVD claimed to hold 29,500 books. That should keep her quie...

I just got home from the annual trip down to the deep south, and should have stayed there. We have had 15 inches in the last few days, with more to come. Seen every dvd in the house, and am getting bored to the MAX. You can only do so much in the shed, and this wet weather is getting me down. Whats it like where yo...

Yep, I've done it again! I went to sit on an office chair in Officeworks and it slid from under me and I lost my balance, bashing my upper right arm on a fixture on my way to the floor. How embarrassing! And I said bad words! So there's a good bruise coming up. By tomorrow it'll be a lovely colour!

Hi Everyone, just got my newsletter and wanted to read it but it says "about blank". does anyone know what I am doing wrong. I would like to be able to read it? thanks.

Our van has a rubberised membrane on the roof (see avatar) which is becoming 'chalky' and mildew/algae is starting to appear on it. I have done some research and it needs to scrubbed with a soft brush and soapy water. Also, there is a rubberised paint which can be used to recoat it. My question is - can I us...

I have just been away and tried the new mozzie patches. Not 100% convinced they work. We had heaps of mozzies to try them out on! I stuck one onto the bottom of my pants and stood near my husband. He was getting mozzies on his legs but I wasn't. But as for the 2 metre coverage? They were still biting me on my ar...
