OK yes i am one of a million or so suckers who actually watch this reality shows sometimes! But this one Celebrity Apprentice has really stuck.... The other night i was yelling at the bloody TV and arguing . There is a brilliant write up about each episode if you missed any and all the In's and outs of who was bitchy to who *ahem* . all HERE

I new i would watch it as soon as i saw the add come on some months ago . After knowing who would be on it i said yep i shall be watching it for sure!

So OK i admit i was an 80's fan of {gawd i am old i know} The Uncanny x-men ~ Brian Mannix lol well way back then i thought woar he's a looker (bucket now please)
Mind you he hardly said a word the whole time he was on it. No wonder he got fired last week!!!

Pru Macsween has always been a favourite of mine ~ I use to watch her give it all on {Beauty and the Beast} ages ago remember the one with Stan Zemanek (R.I.P)

Love watching Dawn Fraser get fired up with the others her quote "No One tells me what to do " I will slap then silly lol.

yes they are all raising money for their chosen charity and it's a wonderful idea.

Not sure what to think of Jeff fenech ~ I sort of think he is a tool (he thinks he's always correct never wrong it's his way or bugger i need attention and i'm not getting any . I better make a scene and walk out of the board room then the camera will be on just me *sigh* PLEASE!!!

Love the Boss Mr Bouris Bit of a looker i say haha..........

"SO WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN IN THE BOARDROOM" ?

Things your Burglar wont tell you ............

2013-05-16T07:30:00.000+10:00

1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.

2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.

3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste .. And taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.

4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.

5. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.

6. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to putmotion detectors up there too.

7. It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather.

8. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters.

9. . Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.

10. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.

11. You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.

12. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the bestalarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv..com.)8 MORE THINGS A BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:

13. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.

14. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.

15. I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.

16 . I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?

17. I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.

18 DON"T announce your holiday on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address.

19. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it's an invitation.

20. If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

Day 10. ~   Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill.

I don't recall anything myself that was or is embarrassing ,but my older sister once told me when as a family we went on vacation to Hamilton Island and i was a terror i ran around some restaurant up and down their stairs chucking Banana peels on their heads? (OK so i was what 5/6?) Most probably bored out of my skull.

Then i was told i ran to all the tables and moved in to say these people "You Fuck en idiots" ! Good lordly really my sister said i actually did do that *sigh*

And now my teen said "Mum when you go shopping you tend to give people the "death stare ?!"
Or when i am trying to type my pin into the machine and i gaze over to the person behind me. Who looks like they are getting a good look at typing in that pin number lol The teen thinks i am rather embarrassing and rude.
But honestly i don't realise i am doing this?! trying to concentrate .

I think that is about it really...........

Iphonography

2013-05-07T12:11:00.000+10:00

You all know i love photo's of pretty much everything and anything! I may have this thing for using my phone way to much ,i even get told off when out shopping if it's with Dion or kids they say "Mum DO NOT whip out the phone ! why you know when you just have to capture that moment or it's gone.

I am loving all the camera apps i am finding . I have and try to use them as often as i can.
I absolutely love snapping away whether it be my phone or Nikon camera (that i need lessons with *ahem* as i leave it on automatic and i should really start to use manual and really learn more about it.

1) Have fun taking those shots.
2) Don't stand so close to something you want to take otherwise it will be blurry and out of focus.
3) Take the picture at a different angle ~ Maybe get low or get high up for a better affect.
4)Take your time it's not a race.

I know that their are loads more apps to get but i am still playing around with these ones i have for now.

Dion doesn't have an iPhone he has his Nexis 7 tablet but refuses to get any camera apps as he only uses his Nikon *sigh* I am yet to really learn how the hell to use it (Don't get me wrong here) i love the camera , but am awful using it .

He told me to play around with it to learn. Easier said then done i guess. No patience i get easily frustrated when i can't get stuff to work.

So hopefully it will be warm on the weekend before winter starts to really kick in (so cold at night time)
So i can get out and learn how to use the real camera .

So who do i really admire just a hell of a lot this chick called Jen! I have read her blog for years since she started way back in 2009 ish.

Any way if you pretty much new me way back in 2009 some would call me a yep a gronk it's a word i googled it so shush!!! So i was pretty messed up is an understatement to say the least! Everything was so untidy clothes every where .

I just had no idea where to start or what i was doing. Along came this chick after i commented on a post or two and poured my soul out . She replied saying do a bit each day follow what i do etc... So i did each day instead of throwing crap on the floor and slouching down in the couch i got up folded stuff and made myself a cleaner person and followed her print ables out as well. She has fabulous advice to everything.

Things that make me uncomfortable ..........

2013-05-04T00:25:00.001+10:00

So today i am blogging about things that make me rather uncomfortable here they are:~

* Small spaces ~ yes i just may be claustrophobic but when i am in a small space i start to turn white and i just need to get out . I loath lifts most of all!

* I can not stand people getting to close to me in other words like standing over me when they talk. I feel like i am being looked down upon.

* Going to parties where you just know one or maybe two other people i am rather a shy person and find it difficult to talk to new people.

* I get extremely uncomfortable when people stare at me~ I look at them and they just keep staring at me ?
like do i have something on my face or some toilet paper stuck up my dress or have a sat on paint?!

* Another thing i am very uncomfortable with when someone sits next to you on the bus or train and they are just about sitting on top of you! Really the seats are big enough for you too....

* Sitting in a cafe when you are enjoying lunch and someone walks past and start having a coughing attack and they are facing you and coughing all over your food!!! ~ (cover your mouth to cough)

* I am also uncomfortable when a friend is back stabbing about another Friend behind their backs. It's rude and i just can not stand for that sort of crap.

*When i have to get up in front of people large or small and speak about something ~ I am just not good at these things and tend to just freeze and clam up tight.

* My family well my parents (and i won't go into that maybe for a later post one day)

3) I use it at times after my training sessions as i am pretty sore so i just rub a little on the arm or leg .

4) Use it for those horrid stains you need to get out after a party wear you spilt a whole load of shit down the front of your top! (it works )

Spanish Flamenco ~ Love Passion and Drive

2013-05-02T16:26:00.001+10:00

Day 2 ~Educate us on something you know or can do extremely well ~

I have been asked this question alot lately. I have been dancing since i was very young aged 6. I did Ballet , Character Ballet , Funk jazz ,Hip Hop Jazz and Flamenco.
I found i had more Passion with the love of Flamenco as i got older. Maybe i had an excellent dance teacher.

Flamenco is a style with lots of hand clapping and footwork ~ You really need to find yourself involved with your dance. I feel in love with the music ,the emotions it has.

If you love music you will fall in love with flamenco music like Carmen and Paco Pena

This is the skirt i made over 20 years ago and still can fit into it just.

Flamenco has strutting and striking moves footwork ,clapping or use of castanets.
Dancing Flamenco lets you dance and feel your own emotions through movement.

If you ever really want to just understand the passion through Flamenco go take a class or watch how they dance in Seville just breath taking and so enjoyable.

So where to start I am an Australian born and bred. I grew up in the suburb of East Brighton in Melbourne.
My Mother was a School Teacher and my father was a Doctor. My parents are Hungarian .
I have two older sisters so yes i am classed as the baby sister *sigh* yes i used to hate it.
I went to a catholic School that i really could not stand and it was torture every day.

I met Dion my husband at aged 21 on my birthday of all things ha! We actually hit it of well.( Pitty i lost alot of family and friends who said this will never work. (How can someone be with someone after knowing them just a full 24 hours??)
Um rather easy )

Nine months later i had our Son who is now 20.
We got married when our son was 11 months old and i was happily yet again five months pregnant with our daughter on my wedding day . who is now 18. We have been married for 20 years in January and still going strong.

Then waited to have another after 5 years . Then came our last daughter who is 14 in eight weeks.
The older adult kids have now moved out and we still have the teen at home.
We have had our family torn apart left right and centre through out the years but we are still here and still happy as larry.

"How to clean your Frogs Tank" .............

2013-04-30T08:52:00.002+10:00

I was asked by a reader in an email some weeks ago "How do i keep real tree frogs"!

So that's why i did this post. Frogs live up to twenty years and these ones actually belong to our teen Chloe.

She has had them since aged three. They are registered as well.

This family is full of frog love we have been for years.

Getting ready to get their house clean

Keeping frogs as pets is not an easy task by a long shot. But it is rewarding to watch them from time to time .
Today i will explain the process of cleaning out our frogs tank ~ That alone takes a few hours. To make sure you do it properly and not half asked as some people tend to do i have heard.

So here is how we clean our tank and do it.(yes more photo bombing )

First make sure you have small containers with holes at the top and about 2 cm of water in each.

Three frogs ~ Mr Bush Mrs Bush and Froggy

Wet hands and place frogs in them (we put something on top as our frogs tend to try and get out lol

Now for the fun part ~
siphon all water out into a large bucket . It's going to be pretty dirty so get as much as you can with a hose.

Then empty water out and start to empty the stones/pebbles out of the tank into the bucket.

soak stones in water for half hour then tip out excess water

Get the shark steam cleaner! and really clean the tank (Do not use any chemicals on the tank ever!!!

hose down the road/plants house for them.

You need to get that glass clean and remove all the pee and shit for your cute frogs have done.

You can always use with care a razor blade on the glass (but it does take time with out scratching glass)

cleaning glass ,pumps etc....

Then tip all the now clean stones back into the tank and place your clean house rock and plants where you want it etc.. Fill the water using filtered water only in the bucket .

rearrange the frog house to what you want

Then when everything is done put your frogs back in their home . ~ This tank is a bit small the one we have so we are getting a bigger one soonish. So we have very happy frogs again

Thanks for cleaning my home

it's a race to see who can get to sit on the pump at the top

.Their tank should be cleaned about every 3 - 4 weeks and they need to be feed every 2-3 days live crickets yes! We have them ordered and sent to us weekly (crickets just eat food scraps carrots,celery what ever and need water)

Frog Food

Chloe's birthday is in eight weeks and the only thing she has asked for is yes another frog!

A few days ago was "Save the Frogs Day"

This is an old photo but a favourite of Chloe and one of her frogs Mr Bush.
