I went to the Traralgon Shell Station on Sunday to fill my
car and was pleasantly surprised to find the cost of petrol
was down to $1.18.9 cents a litre. For during thr week at
Morwell I had noticed it had shot up to $1.22.9 cents.
But the set of pumps in front of me were not working and I
noticed that it was the same for each line at the station.
So much for closing the station down for a few months to add
more pumping units, when they are now not working!!
The station was so busy I had to go to a set of pumps on the
'wrong' side of my car. I had filled up and was just starting
to clean my windows (as even with the rain we have had in the
last week there was still a considerable amount of soot on my
windows) when a car pulled in behind me and the man statrted to
fill up.
I was just going in to pay when he came out from paying. I had
to wait for the three people in front of me to pay and when I
came out the man behind me was backing up. He yelled out his
window "The driveway is not all day parking!" I felt really
embarassed for his poor wife who was sitting in the front
passanger seat. How rude of him.
But I had the last laugh. He pulled up at the lights on the
highway to turn right into Breed St and I went down the parrallel
alley. Of course I was at the intersection of Kay St well before
he was! so much for all his hurry and bluster! Fools never prosper!

Black Saturday
Well as usual I was staying at Cliff's. I went to bed
about 4.30 p.m. for my nanny nap and the next thing I
knew Cliff was waking me up. I was really disorintated
as it appeared to be so dark. I had set the alarm for
7.20 p.m. and it looked like it was neare 9 p.m.
I stumbled out into the kitchen and looked at the clock
and it said 6 p.m. I couldn't understand it and then
Cliff said to go out the back. So I went into the back
yard and the sky was blood red as far as the eye could
see. I went back inside and got my phone and took photos.
It didn't matter if you looked south towards the fires or
north, east or west. It was the same. The sky was red
and evry thing else appeared black. It was so dark that
the street lights had come on automatically. A car came
up Pollack Ave as I was taking a photo and you could see
the smoke from the fires swirl in the car's head lights.

Done
Well it nearly killed me but I got the six parties needed
to become a 'qualified' PartyLite consultant.
I asked Kerry and she said yes, but had to rush off to a job
interview at the local R.S.L.
That night the R.S.L. rang her and offered her a job! I have
been trying for a job since 1993 and now at 59 and 1/2 do not
expect to get one. Well she won't be on the permanment roster
till March so said she can't give me a party till then.
Janette Chipperfield said she would give me a party but fell
off Fred's push bike and broke her wrist. She and Fred are
getting married on Sat April 11th 2009 and she will not be able
to give me a party till after that!
Kylie Cowen was busy with the new 'boyfriend' but has booked a party
for Thursday 19th February.
Sue Hill's father in law took a turn for the worse, but she
rebooked the party for 21st or 22nd February and will confirm
the date later this week.
So I managered to get 7 parties all up for the first business month
and will meet my quota of $2,800 worth of sales.
I have 6 parties booked for the second month and only need 1 more to
be sure of reaching the $2,800 mark.
However I am worried about the third month as it will be Easter and
what with that and possibly people going on hoildays and buying 'eggs'
it means finding 7 parties for two weeks!
I started with a rush and looks like I have to finish in a rush.
Such is life.

Where Does The Time Go?
Often I wonder just where does the time go? However did I
manger to do so much and fit a full day's work in as well?
I no longer work and I have no husband or children to chase
around after (except for Meg! as sometimes I have to hang out
her clothes that she doesn't get time to do it before work or
bring them in if it looks like rain or do the dishes as it
seems she has forgotten what a sink is for).
Last year at this time I was easily reading 3 books a week
and I'm hard pressed this year to fit in one!
Of course it has been hectic trying to orgainise the six
parties needed to start up as a Part Lite Consultant but
I'm giving it my best effort!

Party Lite Party Excitment.
Well I had my second party on Saturday 17/0/09 and thanks
to Cliff spending $199 I achieved $565.15 in sales and
qualified to receive the Fresh Home Pack valued at $235.
So I was happy! Not bad since I only had three people
there, though they were people who had not seen the
products before!

Mowing At Yallourn Nth
Went to Yallourn Nth and cut half the front lawn. It took
two and half hours! I went with Kirsten the first time,
on Tuesday 6/01/09. Turned out that was green waste day
and they had already emptied my side of the street, but by
the time they did the other side of the street at 10.15 a.m.
Kirsten had run the bin, (which was almost full!) over and
after they emptied it she bought it back again!
She had to bring the bin back from their farm as Nathan had
taken both my bins down there as he said they had too much
rubbish!
The man next door said he hoped I got quiet neighbours in, as
his wife works night shift three nights a week.
A lady came from the supermarket and said there was a worker
there who was interested in renting the house so she took my
mobile phone number to give to him. He rang on Sat the 17th
Jan to say he had another place!
She had not even walked away when another lady came up and
said she lived in one of the houses behind the house and she
wanted to know if I had any intention of selling the house
in the next three years as she wants to put two goats in the
paddock.
I told her it would be about five yeras before I sold so she
said she'd put fences in and keep the goats there. GOOD, it
will save money on getting the paddock slashed!
I can't believe the mess that Kath and Nathan left the house
in. Kathleen was always so fussy at home. There is a hole
in the bathroom floor about six inches wide by four foot
long! and dog shit all over the floor! They also have holes
in the toilet wall and a broken bathroom window which is
lying in pieces on the floor. The surround around the bath
is broken as Kirsten stood on it to wash the walls and being
a thin sheet of fibro of course it broke!
I took home enough grass to fill up my bin so I did not have
to cut my lawn.
The second time I went up I cut the side from the edge of the
front of the house to the beginning of the garage. I recut
the grass on the tall upper front side and did the other half
of that front side. I did not put the catcher on as the
grass was too tall.
The toilet bowl was so dirty that when I went up the third
time I took cleaner with me. I recut the short front side
and started cutting down the far side of the house and
around to the back yard another two hours and I was buggered!
and the bin was full so I put it out in the street and came
home.
Went up today 21/01/09 to bring the bin in which was suppose
to be emptied yesterday only to find they had only HALF
emptied it, which means it will take more work to get it
under control.
Donald and I both need to cut our lawns so I did not cut
anything especially as I had Keith with me, as he wanted
to have a look with a view to renting it but he took one
look at the bathroom and said he couldn't live with that
hole and mess! I don't blame him, but I didn't appreciate
the fact that he brought Spag with him and the dog peed on
the floor in the loung/kitchen, as if there was not
enough mess to clean up and Keith didn't even clean it up.
I had to soak it up with a newspaper that was lying in one
of the bedrooms!
On the way home we dropped in to see Donald who had taken
the day off because he had a sore back and we dropped off
the mower. It is looking sad another year and I will have
to buy a new one!

Harold & Kumar etc
What can I say about this film except it was crap!
and not even funny crap at that!
To see the actor who played Doogie Howser in it was so
disappointing. What a come down for him. But then again
I thought the character he plays in "How I Met Your Mother"
was a come down as well, but this is rock bottom.
