Since it’s Anzac Day, we’ll be baking up a batch of Anzac Bickies today.
I had planned to add a photo once they were done, but I got so caught up in eating cooking them, that I just plain forgot.
This is my Mum’s recipe & it’s super-yum, so I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know what you think.
I’m going to try to keep this short today, because I’m off back to the doctor’s with this lousy cough, which has moved down into my chest and become quite painful.
That can’t be good, can it?
Pneumonia?
Well I doubt it, really, but the alliteration was just too tempting.
~Although strictly speaking it’s not really alliteration, is it?
I finally got fed up with my hair this morning in the shower and attacked it with the pair of rusty, bluntened scissors we keep in the laundry (near our 2nd shower).
Seriously.
And it’s not the first time I’ve done this.
I’d been meaning to go to the hairdresser’s for weeks, but hadn’t had the energy, what with starting some new anxiety medication and a bonus course of antibiotics.
Plus I haven’t had a hairdresser I’m happy with for years. I usually just go into the nearest one on the spur-of-the-moment.
I was too terrified to look in the mirror for over an hour.
There was a huge clump of hair in the bottom of the shower recess.
What would WonderHubby say?
What would my mother say? (yes, I know I’m over 30, but she still scares me sometimes)
Amazingly, it didn’t turn out too badly.
Thank GOD.
I’m actually feeling quite happy with the result, considering. (I’ve definitely had worse ‘dos’.)
WonderHubby likes it, too.
My mother hasn’t seen it yet, though.
I’m really going to try really hard not to do this ever again.
Really.
What do you think?
Please be honest…
A friend told me that you can easily make the paint for window-clings by mixing pvc glue with a drop of food colouring.
I have to say that my own experience was less than pleasing, so I think I’ll stick (excuse the pun) with the store-bought products. Perhaps her pvc glue is expecially thick? And she must use some other sort of plastic backing, because I couldn’t peel them off at all.
I’ll give her instructions here in case you can get it to work ~by all means, please let me know if you do!
On the subject of entertaining the kids over the holidays, I bet I would have had no problems if they had one of these to play in.
But, since they don’t, I’ve come up with a list of great FREE things to do with the kids in order to keep myself sane.
