• 08:55 Oldest two dropped off at daycare, time to put a load of washing in the machine so it's ready to hang when Boofa goes to sleep. #
• 09:48 Mmmmmm the smell of white choc chip muffins in the oven. YUMMY!! #
• 13:13 If I don't confirm you as a friend on Facebook the first two times you ask for it, that means I don't want to be your friend! Get the hint! #
• 18:12 Found my swimmers so going to aqua aerobics tonight. Hopefully I survive! #
• 21:29 Aqua aerobics is a new form of torture I'd not previously subjected myself to. Back again on Wednesday cuz I'm a sucker for punishment #

• 09:57 Why don't car dealers open the back of cars to let you see how much space is in there? I want a people mover with boot space! #
• 10:02 Am eyeing off a 1993 Volkswagen Caravelle at the moment. Looks good, just don't know how many baby seat anchor points it has. #
• 10:10 is.gd/1go6P Looks too good to be true, especially at that price. Anyone got any naysaying about it? #
• 10:14 Greater Union, why do you make it so hard to work out at what age I need to pay for a child ticket for my children to see a movie? #
• 10:20 Oh right, you have to try and book a ticket to the session to be able to find out what age constitutes a 'child'. Lame! #
• 12:27 decided not to go to Rail Museum today. Have been tidying our bedroom. So many baby clothes to get rid of! #
• 15:32 Did small grocery shop to get us through until payday on Wed. Potato bake for dinner tonight. Wish the girls would stop fighting already! #
• 16:01 Put a few books on hold at the library. Hope to get lots of ready done between semesters! #
• 16:01 Obviously that should say 'lots of reading' not 'lots of ready' *sigh* Darn fingers are typing by themselves! #
• 16:17 Added a few books to my wishlist on book depository, simply so I don't have to find them again when I'm ready to buy. is.gd/1gExF #
• 18:42 @dawnstarau Most cabbies will take a detour to grab fuel, during which they switch off the meter. #

• 08:49 RIP Farrah Fawcett. You will always be a legend. #
• 08:51 Is MJ really dead or is this a ploy to sell more albums? So far it's "confirmed". #
• 09:28 Doh we're out of bananas. I have to have plain rice bubbles this morning :-/ #
• 10:54 @fonnerberry They're playing MJ on the radio here too. Most airplay he's had in a long time! So very glad I'm not listening to the radio. #
• 10:55 In other news, Jeff Goldblum is NOT dead. Am 'meh' about MJ's death. We lost him a long time ago IMO. The man he was left us in the 1990s. #
• 15:30 Read some of my novel and started my caffeine free campaign. Ugh. Forgot how much I dislike plain water. Oh well, it'll help with weightloss #
• 16:48 Almost to the end of batch adding files to our new photo gallery. Have run into a bug that I can't figure out. Will google later. #
• 16:49 Boofa managed to lose one of her socks at daycare in the 5 minutes I was there picking up her sisters. Second time today she's done that! #
• 17:31 Making up recipes for gravy here. Pear puree, golden syrup, garlic, chives, salt, little stock powder & some cornflour to thicken. WIN! #
• 06:12 Questioning my sanity. Do I want to lose weight this badly? Am I insane to go to bootcamp at 7am Saturday in the rain? #

• 12:24 Batch adding photos to our hosted webspace. I never realised how many photos I have of the kids! #
• 12:44 Boofa's having her first meal in the high chair. The older two are also having lunch and all 3 are having a ball! #
• 12:51 The great thing about having girls is that they can run around the house in a shirt and tights during winter. #
• 20:22 Yippee my inlaws are back tomorrow... #

• 08:18 Shoulders sore from carrying Boofa in the sling half the day. Bootcamp tonight? Maybe if my shoulders don't give me another bad headache... #
• 10:34 Next time Olivia's hair is in her eyes I should pay for a hairdresser to cut it. She looks like she cut it herself after I had a go before. #
• 11:42 Trying out Coppermine photo gallery on our hosted website. Uploading pictures now... this'll take a while! #
• 11:43 Somebody switch off the screaming baby who refuses to eat, sleep or be held. I want a refund! #
• 15:02 I have 3 sleeping children. Might be time to make a dash to the clothesline to bring in some washing. #
• 15:07 OMFG. That piece of rubbish Law assignment I wouldn't use for toilet paper scored 59/70 :-o #
• 15:09 "a v well presented paper. more research would have given you material to base your analysis of the issues on. Well done!" WTF?! #
• 17:22 @rebism I think you're right lol. I didn't have enough sources but yeah, I'm rather eloquent so I guess that counted for something. #
• 17:26 RT @warcom: twitpic.com/89g8n - This was purchased at Craigieburn McDonalds on the 24/07/2009.
  
  
  We ate three, then found this one! #
• 18:39 Major craving for Arnotts French Fries. What can I eat instead? Really trying to lose weight but my cravings won't play ball :-( #
• 18:41 @KoganTech Your website is down. Are you too popular? Has everyone discovered the secret to cheap electronics? :-D #

• 15:41 LOL!!! is.gd/18V5c #

• 11:18 man I hope we get a list of formulas with this exam. I'm never going to remember all these! I can barely remember how to use them :-/ #
• 12:36 if this exam isn't identical to last year's I'm screwed. I'm not sure I can live with the shame of flunking economics twice! #
• 16:01 Looks like I'm studying economics next semester. :-( #
• 22:05 had a great dinner out and came home to find my boys winning the footy! YEAH!! GO BOMBERS!! #

• 09:20 Nevermind, I closed my browser and when I reopened it the ticket buying thingy on the harry potter page was working for me. #
• 09:23 $3.25 booking fee PER TICKET for gold class?! Can anyone say rip off? #

• 10:10 Yay Boofa has finally fallen asleep. Now I can run outside and throw washing at the clothes line #
• 11:52 Yay coffee table has found a new home. Anyone want a dodgy old couch? #
• 12:36 ABC2? When did you stop showing children's programming during the day? #

• 13:02 Coke? check. Study materials? check. Motivation? Motivation? Anyone? Bueller? #

• 21:10 I'm surprised at some of the items that don't attract gst -- particularly hommus & breakfast cereals. I thought processed food meant gst? #
• 07:52 Exam today at 14:30. Last-minute cramming begins after the older two are dropped at daycare. #

• 08:57 @KoganTech Where do I get one of those shirts for my husband? It's his birthday next month and I think he'd get a kick out of it. #
• 11:13 My girls have been so awesomely behaved today and I'm really proud of them. They were great while shopping and are good at home too! #
• 13:54 I'm so over hearing "that's not fair mummy" from the older two. ARGH! How exactly am I supposed to answer that? #
• 15:30 Next time I take the shelves out of the fridge to wash them I'm going to pay attention to which ones go in the freezer! They're narrower #
• 15:42 About to down some ibuprofen with another can of coke. Exam time sucks. Wish I could pass the economics exam just by showing up! #

• 18:02 My rice cooker is made of win! So was the mince concoction I made to go with the rice. #
• 20:06 Wow, just did part a of last year's economics exam. 17/20! If I guess that well on Friday I'll have a great start! #
