I remember the thrill when I first got my a laundry :laugh: . Before that I had a washing machine on the outside veranda, and I had to carry the buckets of hot water from in the house.we had a really really small house and the washing machine could not fit. My DH made a sleep out separate from the house, the front half of it is the laundry, the back half is the spare bedroom ( actually ds18's room but he is away most of the year at uni). Enjoy! :hurray:

I would have flipped right out. IT was a little Girl. I didn't cut my daughter's hair until she was nearly three, and then it was a supper tiny trim. How can you put a little girl's hair into cute piggy tales, or a little fountain on top if someone is CUTTING IT! You have my permission to slap her down.

:iagree:

:iagree:

that is what it is like for me. When DH is in Canada I can hardly sleep. I have found that filling up a few hot-water bottles and putting them on his side of the bed helps. I guess I must reach out in the night, and if he isn't there I wake up.

I don't get it either. We grow our whole year's supply of garlic and store it in an airy place.It keeps really really well. We eat at least 1 clove a day.

I cried when reading that book too. I cry when reading lots of books. Sometimes I feel like a good cry and get out a sad story. Works like a charm.

They should keep for a whole year if you put them in a basket with lots of air and stick them in your pantry. I would not recommend freezing them. It makes everything in the freezer have a garlicky smell and taste.

I would just chuck them straight in the bin. End of problem!

and here is a great survival story http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/09/australian-wildfires-family-defining-photograph?intcmp=239

I just found this map that shows the current fires going in Australia http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jan/10/australian-wildfires-rage-map-interactive ( well a few days ago, more have started since then) just under 150 houses have been destroyed in three states so far, and the hot part of summer is still to come!

I found something , not exactly what I was after, but I can work with it. http://www.armchairgeneral.com/map-of-the-month-magellans-voyage-1519-1522.htm#high_1

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone knows if this exists. I am in search of an interactive world map that students can plot a course on for my studies. I am doing a bachelor of education, and I have to make a series of lesson plans around a particular strand of the new Australian curriculum. I am creating a series of lessons around Magellan, and as I need to have one of the lessons involving students using the computer. I have tried searching but I basically don't know exactly what to call it. so what I am after is a website that allows students to draw on a map (online) exactly where Magellan sailed. Of course it would be way easier to give them all a world map and tell them to draw it themselves. that is what I have my own children do and if I was in a real classroom that is exactly what I would do. thank you

I don't have one. DH never got one. instead we used the money to buy house stumps for the house we live in. we had only limited money. I do however have a wedding ring, and I love wearing it. I never take it off.

head injuries scare me as well. I would be going in to the hospital.
