• Oh no! I thought school photos were Wed, but they are today. #
• Wow. @abcdigmusic are playing 'World (The Price Of Love)' by New Order. Fantastic choice that I haven't heard in years. #
• It's rather crass having ads for sports betting in front of the video story on the death of Jim Stynes. Poor form @theage #

• While we're at it I wonder why we're the only street in our development with this sort of tree. #annoyingfallingleaves #

• Just saw The Apprentice UK is back in two days time, can't wait. #yeslordsugar #
• Back in Werribee for more tests. Maybe I should just move here. #
• Sitting with no shirt on covered in sticky dots. Ah the dignity. #

• Jason Akermanis, crawl back under the rock you came from and never come out again. #
• Odd Facebook looks like it's just lost the last 4 hours or so of updates in my news feed. #
• Think I may have finally solved my crackling/popping sound issue…fingers crossed. #

• Celebrating our first vomit free night in over a week. #
• Home made coffee and pancakes for a holiday breakfast, great start. http://t.co/Q5YsWY5F #
• How many more coffees can I get away with before I have to go and start the lawns? Running out of paper to read too. #
• First part done, lawns cut right back, now off to Bunnings to get the supplies for part 2. #
• Prep done for Part 2, quick wash of the car and on we go. #
• Busy day but lawns have been done and new seed put down. Fingers crossed the weather gods are kind. #
• Rae cooked a perfect roast tonight, fantastic way to finish a long weekend. #
• Total victory – The Bug claims Phee on her birthday. We all feel doubly sorry for her because we know what the next 24 hours holds. #

• Rain and warmth is most welcome, grow little grass seeds, grow! #
• Well done @Richmond_FC , fantastic news on re-signing Dimma. #gotiges #

• Sharing a dozen oysters with Rae, now that's a way to start the weekend. #
• Argh. Just saw a photo on Facebook of a roller skating rink and now it's killing me – what was the name of the rink in Shepp? #
• Seems like it's point kicking practice for @Richmond_FC this afternoon. #gotiges #
• Much excitement – new grass growth from the seed sown last week. It was the perfect week of rain and warmth. #
• Interesting that there are for dads here with their kids at the park, no mums in sight. #

• Tonight's bedtime battle was fought on two fronts. Oh so exhausting. #
• Too many new things to learn – my brain hurts. #
• Most productive day in ages. Broke the back of a monster project, more sorted out and invoicing done. Not bad for a Tuesday. #
• Thought this track sounded like Risky Business. Tangerine Dream 'Love On A Real Train' has made my day. Thanks @abcdigmusic #
• Any chance you could tell your kid to stop ripping up that tape and get him to pick up the mess he just made? #thoughtnot #
• Summer really was in a hurry to get away this year. #
• And this morning's vomiting child sweepstakes winner is….Kennedy Malloy! Midnight to five thirty. Long day ahead. #

• Gone retro, listened to a CD in the car on the way to this appointment. #
• Spotted two hipsters in Derrimut. Poor things, they must be so lost and scared. Didn't want to startle them though by offering help . #
• Oh dear. The Bug looks to have claimed poor Rae now. Please Bug, stay away from me, I have too much to get done. #
• Wow, according to @7NewsMelbourne Derrimut is one of the hottest suburbs in Melbourne for property. #
• And that would be the bug hitting me. Oh boy I've seen where this goes and I'm not looking forward to it. Not good to have both parents out. #
• For you own safety I'd just stay completely clear of Derrimut. This is not pleasant. #
• Ooh good, now Henry. #
• Rae and I absolutely smashed. Moo and Henry a little bit better. #
• Ah, the amazing restorative power of water crackers and dry ginger are. Slept all day, 24 later I may be back on the road to being human. #
• Pre-season? Who cares! Go the Mighty Tigers!! #gotiges #
• Just when we think we're safe Henry recreates a scene from The Exorcist in the kid's toilet. #willthisneverend #

• I hate it when any of the kids are sick. Poor Mr Henry is not having a good night. #

• Going to Taco Bill and not having nachos seems sorta wrong. #
• Poor Bert had been vomiting since last night, major plan revisions for today now. Just hoping whatever it is doesn't spread to the others. #
• Thought Bert had turned the corner but he just proved ne wrong in the most spectacularly manner. #noschooltomorrow #hopeitdoesn'tspread #
• Bert still not the best, hoping for improvement and some sleep for all of us tonight. #

• Monday morning, must be specialist appointment time. #
• Lady just day down next to me in waiting room wearing a perfume a girlfriend wore in late 80s. Wow, amazing how scent can take you back. #

• Tracking two deliveries on the web. When will they have live GPS tracking of parcels… #

• What happened to the computer parts ads in the GG? #
• Knew I should have called in advance to see if the doctor was running on time. #
• HAH! I knew it, delivery guy came while I was the doctors! #
• Doctor tells me to go home and lie down all afternoon and then come back this evening for more tests. Yeah, right, like that's an option. #
• Oh god, in Melbourne IT support hell on behalf of a client. #
• Been on hold for half an hour now – 15 minutes ago I was told I next in line. I hate having to call Melbourne IT #
• Back at the doctor. They'll be giving me my own room before too long. #
• 7.30 and all the young ones are still asleep. Not game to leave the bedroom in case I wake them.They've needed a sleep like this for ages. #
• My new phone is in FedEx's Derrimut facility. Would prefer it to be in my Derrimut house. #
• My new Nexus just arrived (it's a basic pleasure model.) Thanks @Kogan for a great deal and speedy delivery. http://t.co/Ox3IMohM #

• I don't want to create a $#$% account, I just want to buy the font! #
• Just listened to Rae's presentation for tomorrow. The attendees are in for a treat. #

• Woo Hoo! I'm an anecdote! #

• Wlll #foxfooty has started broadcasting, see you in October. #
• Loving the HD broadcast on @FOXFOOTY #
• That was a pretty good practice game, impressed with the Tigers effort there. #
• Best thing was probably Maric's mullet. A Tiger legend is born. #
• Tigers only 2 points down. I think I'll turn the telly off now and go to bed and count it as a moral victory. #
• Ah, Buddy Franklin – he's no Richy Tambling #
• GO THE MIGHTY TIGERS!!!!! #
• Very impressed with @FOXFOOTY broadcast tonight. Slick, professional, hd, live – free to air should take note of how it should be done. #
• BBQ cooked and cleaned, that's it for the evening for me. Early night to try and get some energy back for tomorrow. #
• Rae off on adventure with the twins and Phee at work. Me at home looking after a poorly Bert. #
• Seems nothing picks you up quicker than being able to lie in Mum and Dad's bed and watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit. #
• Good soundtrack for Sunday morning work from @abcdigmusic, including 'Sunday Morning'. #
• Phee singing a Spice Girls song. Stops and says "I love singing, even if it's really old." #

• Waiting on a delivery. Any bet it will come during the ten minutes it will take me to pick up the twins… #
• Made it home just in time to catch the delivery guy. #
• Back in the land of laser printers again after a flirtation with ink. It's wireless and duplex, very nice. #

• No lolly teeth at either Coles or IGA. What is the world coming to? #
• I feel like I'm back in 1986, this costume (in so many ways) rocks. #
