Nikkis2000 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 IKNWC but I stink to high heaven of Jeyes Fluid I have run out of cling film and this time in 3 months we'll be 7 hours into the flight towards our new life!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandownunder Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 cling film? what's that for - sorry for being thick! good luck, happy times ahead J x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 A genius idea from OH, I think taken from another thread on here. Once items are cleaned to Aussie customs standards, those that need to be stored outside again (like in a garage) get wrapped in cling film so they don't get dirty again. Hopefully then when the customs chaps open the container they first get a waft of Jeyes Fluid and are then faced with acres of cling film to unwrap! If that doesn't put em off then the thought of packing away a pop up tent should! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been having a clear out and I've been thinking that I must clean everything but that there's not much point until just before the shipper arrive. Saying that our potential buyers will wonder whats going on if we wrap everyone in cling!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Ali, Think it came as a bit of a shock to my colleagues (especially as we've only just settled after a re-org) but overall was received well & everyone's happy for me. I already told my boss a month or so ago, and he took it well and is behind me (think he'd like to come too The best bit was the look of shock on some faces, genuinely jaw dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasully2 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 IKNWC but I had the results back from my annual mammogram and they were all clear!!! I got myself in such a state over them that I wouldn't let myself believe we were actually moving to Perth next year until I had the all clear. Such a relief and weight off my shoulders.

ROB T Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Blimey, my youngest daughter found a Shingleback lizard in the corner of the kitchen yesterday evening. She fed it with fruit and gave it a bed for the night before releasing it this morning into the sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasully2 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) IKNWC BUT I AM OFFICIALLY ADDICTED TO PP SITE. IT'S THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP, I CHECK IT AT LUNCHTIME AND AGAIN IN THE EVENING. MY OH SAYS THE IPAD IS MY BEST MATE! I STAY UP WAY TOO LATE EVERY NIGHT READING THREADS AND CHECKING RESPONSES. IF THERE HAVE BEEN NO NEW COMMENTS I FEEL DISAPPOINTED AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE HAS WRITTEN ANYTHING! Is anyone else like this or am I alone in my addiction? Edited October 24, 2013 by Akasully2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
