No, but it will make your travel through life a lot easier. I never said I was middle class. And I'm not a snob. I relish the whole bogan thing, to be honest. I'll see if I can find a link to an iconic character from the nineties, done by Magda Szubanski of Kath and Kim fame.
Here it is, and you'll notice that Ferret is wearing lambswool slippers, precursors of the Ugg boot. (There are a few clips related to this from a hilarious 90s show called Fast Forward, which was followed by Full Frontal.) I love it!

It's about 20 years old now, but still really funny.
This is my favourite character:

I used to love those shows. Most of the actors have gone on to bigger and better things. But they were so smart and funny, and I really missed them.
How's the weather there, Mikey? It's still raining on and off here - maddening - but it has begun cooling down, and the days are getting just perfect, temperature-wise. I'm having some annual leave beginning late next week, and i'm going to Brisbane tomorrow afternoon - about 3 and a half hours south of here. I haven't been there since the floods, and I know the roads are probably still less than perfect. But I get to see my grandbabies. They just turned 6 in late March, and I want lots of cuddles. I miss them so much. I'll take both cameras, and maybe get to take some photos. I'll be missing from here for a few days. You mustn't have the locks changed while I'm away, or I'll be offended.

Thank you peoples. Mikey, you may read about my trip (very briefly) in the LOTP topic. I can't call it a game, when I was always the winner, can I?
But I will say, I can't wait to go back in two weeks. I'll have them for two nights again. They are easier to deal with now they are older, but I still found myself getting a bit tired by day's end. I told them they had to put me to bed for a nap, and to ignore my crying.
They were both a little bit concerned about the locks on the motel door. I assured them that no bad people could get in. Then one asked very seriously, "But what about the criminals?" I nearly laughed out loud, as I didn't expect that word from a six year old. Later on, we made Easter cards for their Daddy and his partner (who is not their mother). One of them wrote on it, "I am lovable and capable. I love you, Daddy." It was just delightful. They wanted to know where their other Nanna and Gran came from - i.e., had they always been there? So we had a profound discussion about how everyone is born into the world as a baby. And many other things that are boring unless you're me! LOL
I did discover it takes four hours to get to Brisbane - more when your motel is on the south side! And they are long, hot hours when your air conditioner has stopped working.

That sounds fantastic Dezzie,, we all need family time, its great just to sit and listen to what children come out with, I know my grandson has me in fits of laughter some times,, Aghh i,m so pleased that you had a good time,,and going back in two weeks you lucky girl, Did nanny get spoilt also??
329. xymonau17 April 2011, 14:01 GMT +02:00
Yes. I asked them to pick up their pencils and books while I was in the shower. When I came out, they had cleaned the whole place better than many adults could, and - bless their little hearts - they had put the pillows at a jaunty angle on the fold-out bed, and folded their (wet) motel towels neatly and placed them on the corners of the bed. The table was clear, everything was picked up and packed away, and they were as proud as punch. They also made me some lovely pictures full of hearts and they wrote that they love me.
But I'm concerned about you. Are you very sick? Is it a 'flu?

333. xymonau18 April 2011, 11:35 GMT +02:00
No, they don't do chimbleys. Although they would probably think it was great fun. Yes, they are going to be wonderful at keeping a tidy house as they get older. You kidnap them, you die. I have much housework just waiting for them!
I hope you're feeling better soon, Mike. I can offer soup.
334. happyture18 April 2011, 22:52 GMT +02:00
Bless them little cleaner children,,, they just does not know what they has waiting for them at nanny's house,,,,,,,,And yes i was feeling a little better untill you mentioned the soup, now i is bilious again....
