During a week of high frustration over a situation I can't control (see the commenting post) there have been some good things happen. Over in the forum world I've discovered some new blogs this morning I visited Magsx2 and she had this very cute video in one of her posts. It made me smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9APqLA2YKs … [Read more...]
Commenting Issues
Picture this. A 44 year old mother of two, so technically incompetent she can't even figure out how to use her I-Phone, up before dawn to tweet some young, hip, computer dude giving him advice on the technical details of his hugely successful internet biz. Yep that's been me the past few days. Stop laughing and read on. Late last week I ended up … [Read more...]

Sunday to Sunday A Week On The Phone
The week began with our weekend in Sydney. We included a visit to the store I miss most living in a regional area - IKEA. I lust after this ... I live with this ... Oh the disparity.

The Sydney Trip
We've been promising the kids for ages that we would get them to Sydney to see the Harry Potter Exhibition and the Picasso Exhibition. Given that the closing dates were looming it became a case of now or never. We managed to get the "only good for the wreckers car" repaired and registered. Although half way down the highway it developed a new … [Read more...]
Farewell Abbey
As parents we provide our children with pets for many different reasons, it teaches them to care for another living creature, develops a sense of responsibility and provides companionship. In our family we've had a few attempts at pets - the Christmas present hermit crabs which on unveiling promptly bit the child, leaving her completely … [Read more...]
Resuming Normal Programming
Howdy folks. Been a little quiet on Shambolic Living the last few days but I'M BACK. Last week proved to be a tad overwhelming - dealing with the loss of a loved pet, helping to coordinate a massive work event and a quick trip to Sydney to take the kids to the Harry Potter Exhibition and then for a touch of art culture at the Picasso Exhibition at … [Read more...]
