Look, I'm chatting here to you people when I really need to bea) throwing a few things in a bag for a long weekend away in faraway Coogee (reunion with some Uni friends, we did the same thing 3 years ago and had such a lovely time we decided to repeat it)
b) write my review for The Imperfectionists
c) get dinner ready (= put frozen Pea&ham soup into pan to heat up, get bread out of freezer for toast)
d)read some more of my current read
so c'mon, stop distracting me....

Very chatty group :D
Does anyone know how to get all the threads on a group as READ without clicking on them all individually to get rid of (xx new)?
Laura wrote: "Does anyone know how to get all the threads on a group as READ without clicking on them all individually to get rid of (xx new)?"On the front main page for each group there is a bar that has Discussion Board written on the Left Hand side and on the Right hand side there 4 words; Topics All New Unread.
Click on unread and it will bring up all the unread by you threads. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and there are the words 'mark all read' - click on this and all the unread threads will no longer be marked in bright red
Oh awesome! I saw the unread thing n clicked on it and even scrolled to bottom of the page but didn't see it. Thanks muchly, sally!! :DBlood moon tonight...despite all the clouds I've seen it.

Ouch! The sort of thing that would make a comedy routine unless you're the one actually experiencing it and in pain. Poor Leonie! Hope all improves soon.
Marianne wrote: "@ Dale check out post no 17043 new restaurant in Thirroul do you ever get down/up this way?"We were up at Thirroul with family on Sunday arvo for an afternoon picnic, in that big park area near the pool. Not often we can get all family together on a Sunday and its sort of a half way place between here and Sydney so have done it a few other times. Packed to the hilt of course being such a hot day but we still found a shady tree to play under and kids had a ball on flying fox, scooters and park. A family time like that is usually the only time we get up your way, Marianne. Thanks for the info about the restaurant though, bit far for us for dinner.

It's a bit embarrassing being a physio with a limp, however I am providing much joy to my patients because they all want to know why...
Leonie wrote: It's a bit embarrassing being a physio with a limp, however I am providing much joy to my patients because they all want to know why..."LOL - a bit like "physician first heal thyself"? :)
@Dale, they do lunch too.....while you were gathering with family at Thirroul, I was doing the same in Unanderra!

That's it!
Just spent about 20 minutes on desk listening to a poor bloke bitch about Centrelink. Lady I'm on with was like "I was gonna rescue you".Little does she know that I could spent days bitching about Centrelink.
I think almost everyone whos ever had contact with centrelink could complain about them for days!! I could :|Urgh...i hate going to hospitals..they make me feel uncomfortable
I have another box of library books to cover. These two look good Loyal Creatures and Alexander Altmann A10567.

Using a precious rec day today. An Optus technician is suppose to be coming at some stage so someone needed to stay home!!They haven't come yet, but I've done two loads of washing - hung it out - brought it in and folded it. Cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed the house, dusted and had the TV turned to the cooking channel all day.
I don't even have to cook tea tonight as a girlfriend has invited us over for a roast pork dinner!!!
So chores done - time for feet up with a book!!
Hope that Optus person arrives soon Sally! Nothing worse than waiting on ppl to turn up to your house to fix something.Enjoy your dinner out too!! :)
I'm about to do some reading myself before I start cooking tonight's meal...chicken,mustard with sweet potato n caramelized onion...mmm

I love an industrial day Sally, and even better if the Optus guy fixed your problem!
Attended an author talk by Derek Landy (Skulduggery Pleasant) this morning. He was very funny. Now I want to read all the Skulduggery books I haven't read. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to read everything I want to read.

Everyone should watch abc1, they've done a great job of mental health week and it's like a telethon I guess. Check it out! Hosted by Eddie Perfect. Shane Jacobson is there too. Most of us would be affected by mental illness in one way or another.
Mod
I would have watched it but I am too busy catching up on all the episodes of Dr Who I missed while I was away!
Mod
Russia - we cruised from Moscow to St Petersburg. And then to the UK to visit family. It was a really great holiday.
Wow! That sounds great...How long were you gone for?

Good morning, ER's. Feeling happy this morning because my new lounge suite arrived yesterday. Thinking now I might have to shave the long-haired feline who lives inside because the sofas are a creamy alabaster color:P
I'm new to this website and i've no clue how to get on with it.Any help?
Mod
Oh sounds gorgeous Bette! You definitely need to keep kitty off! But I'm guessing that won't happen :):)

Just had a lady who is adamant that I need to be in a career which lets me use my voice. Apparently she thinks it's fantastic.I mean it is fantastic, but it's nice to hear it from other people. :P

I wish my Mum was around too Dale - we just raised a glass to Mum today - it's the 8 year anniversary of her passing. It seems such a long time ago, but it seems like only last year...strange; but I still miss her terribly:(
