Didn't happen this morning, but recently, and I am still smiling with relief.
The bridesmaids' dresses came in.

My daughter is getting married and we ordered the dresses in March. Yes, that's right-8 months ago. They were fully paid off months ago.
We've got the wedding in less than a month and I have been ringing every few weeks since August to try to get some action but the owner didn't seem to see the problem and said this is normal. It's not. I am by way of a wedding expert, this is my second wedding for a daughter this year.

Well, at least now they are in. Whether we have time for alterations for one of the girls I am not sure, it will be down to the wire.
But they are in. Smiling with relief.

Congratulations, Sherri! Grin

We have a little welsh mountain pony who's in his thirties. Every morning when I come out the back door he gives me a sort of chortle coz he knows I'm coming to give him just a little treat of chaff . . .and I smile.

Oh, but Stuart Broad's 6-81... absolute classic figures to help get Australia out for a (reasonable) score of 295. Must remember that, and give the English a big smile for their efforts.

Reply #20 - Nov 23^rd, 2013 at 11:02pm I'm at a loss as to why the English refer to Australians as convicts. As the reason that convicts were sent to Australia from England, shouldn't England be seen as the land of convicts, and not Australia?

Conversation in the car on the way to do some shopping earlier today ... we were praising the 4yr old because he dressed himself.

Mum tried to claim 4 yr olds dress sense as being due to her genes to which the four year old replied ' but mummy, you don't know how to dress'..... I laughed all the way to the shops ... wifey dearest wasn't happy but even she had to laugh....

A fer-de-lance would have stuck to the metal detector, so you can be sure there weren't any about where you were. Tongue

A Sydney lawyer says she is prepared to fight in the High Court over a decision by ASIO to cancel the passports of 20 Muslim men.

The SMH reported this morning that ASIO had cancelled the passports over fears the men, who are from Sydney, would travel overseas to engage in "politically motivated violence".

At least four Australians are known to have been killed in the Syria conflict, and intelligence agencies are thought to be tracking about 100 Australians active in the fighting.
