Are you serious - do people pay $500 each way to fly from Tamworth to Sydney - its a four hour drive!!!

It's really 5 depending on where you're going, but to answer your question, no - not many people do, which is why it's so expensive

I've got a hens weekend coming up in September though, which would be a pain in the **** to drive to by myself, so this sale is at the perfect time


I have a cold today - what ever "it" is, "it" must know I've got a holiday coming up, hopefully it will be over and done with before we go, but knowing my history with holidays this is just the beginning

Has anyone ever tried "Rainbow Herbal Cold & Flu Remedy"?

A little old lady recommended it to me today, and said she hasn't had a cold worse then a sniffle in many years, and she thanks the remedy for it

woke up this morning with a sniffly nose....feeling like I am coming down with the flu again.....bugger bum bum.

willing to try anything, this is week 1 of my hols...and I'm not going to spend them in bed sick!

So I just washed my floor - and sat down waiting for it to dry - I get up and I had left the back door open -
doggy foot prints all through the house - down the hall, into the bathroom, bedroom ensuite !!!! Our Gus is definitely not an inside dog!!!

Now i have to do it again!!!!

Oh and I found the most incredible thing to clean my kitchen cupboards - washing soda - or you could use napisan its the same active ingredient - I have those vinyl wrapped doors that have a wood grain finish - you dont realise how dirty they are until you look closely, and it is all black in those grains - but wiped straight off with the washing soda

I have tried all sorts of marketed products and none worked as well and usually left a film that only attracted more grease.

So yeah - life is good!!

My little doggy does that too actually one of my cats is worse though, he goes outside to do his business, and then comes inside with black feet - usually this isn't a problem unless I've just cleaned the floor, but he has learnt that if he doesn't feel like cleaning his own feet he'll just dip them in his drinking bowl - and then proceed to walk muddy black feet through my house little %#@&*

What is it to do with holidays that brings this sort of thing on?!?

Sorry...but you are ANOTHER person caught by the hoax...


Only a TRUE geek spots it instantly.

Just remember 1985...and the number 30...

They went FORWARD 30 years to 2015 (October 21 to be precise)

They went BACK 30 years to 1955...

I wonder how many times this will be 'reported' before it is 2015?

Yeah I know this now of course

What I want to know is why it wasn't October 26th?

And also, does this mean we'll have hover boards in 3 years?

Be careful, I spent the rest of the afternoon getting it off the kettle, toaster, fridge and oven, tap, cooktop - especially when they heated up - a white powdery residue showed up - cleaned it up with windex - but you dont know if it has gone until it dries up again.

You know what I wonder, I wonder if the guy that does the pays paid himself?

Gosh I hope it's there for you soon

It has turned up, but things aren't right, I keep telling him to look for something else and leave and take what he can, rather than wait for the alternative and end up with nothing...

And the icing on the cake? The phone call to pick up DS from school because he hit his head on the asphalt He's bruising around the eye and has a couple of grazes, but currently watching Tom&Jerry and quite happy on the couch...
