You'll come home smelling of sausages, my hubby always does. It's hard work on a hot day. Good luck!!
My hubby went up to Bunnings this morning and came back with a sausage in a roll. I guess it's a good weekend for fundraising BBQs!

We were flat out all day. $4 for a sausage sandwich and a can of drink, one lady had her 4 children with her and remarked that it was cheaper than McDonalds. We usually profit about $1,000 so well worth doing.

Back Friday so only a short trip this time..."Enjoy Brenda. It will be lovely I'm sure. Hubby just told me that his work conference next weekend is in the Blue Mountains. I've never been so feeling a bit jealous now. But I hope you have a great time. Won't be telling him that though!! Lol. How they justify it as work...Mmmm I'm a bit sceptical. More of a "junket" I think.

Ha! It's funny as I considered bringing my book for a sec but realised that was just wrong!
Suzanne wrote: "So I'm not the only one hey ladies?!

The footy is on the TV but I'm writing reviews. I have a few to catch up on. Now to get back to reading.

Ben Affleck and Rosam..."I've been agonising over seeing the movie as I have the book here but haven't had time to read it yet. I really want to read the book first. Now that you are saying it is true to the book it's making my decision even harder.
Mod
I might go and have a look at that next weekend. I didn't like the book but can see how it would make a good movie.
Michael wrote: "Just got back from watching the movie adaption of Gone Girl in town. Hmmmm it wasn't a bad film and if you loved the book or have not read it yet then you will love the movie. Ben Affleck and Rosam..."I liked the book but I'm not sure I'll go and see the movie as there won't be many surprises once you know the plot.
I agree, Before I Go To Sleep should be good though Michael.

Neither can I, but I think my husband is a little upset that bulldogs didn't win LOLOLOLLLLO

Michael wrote: "Just got back from watching the movie adaption of Gone Girl in town. Hmmmm it wasn't a bad film and if you loved the book or have not read it yet then you will love the movie. Ben Affleck and Rosam..."That is really intersting...being someone that follows true cases like that, I think I need to read the book now, before I go and see the move ;)
Oh, I should say, I realise Gone girl isn't true, but there are many cases just like it, well at least like I think the book and movie is like...Oh, I should just read the book, then I could explain what I mean LOL

Yes I have kindle app on phone. I use it to read in bed at night so that I'm not disturbing hubbies sleep. But during day I always read actual books and that is where the reading has slowed, simply because I can't see the print clearly
