What's on Ann's mind


An emergency trip to a major shopping centre (after someone dropped their phone and needed a new screen asap) resulted in this photo of the new fandangle shopping trolleys now available.  Thoughts??

I think maybe it is a little wacky!!


 Is there any teachers (love your work) out there who can shed some light as to why I was required to buy these bloody expensive connector pens as opposed to normal run of the mill textas??

While on school supplies does anyone actually make 48 page exercise books anymore??  Also why can the schools not use there massive buying power and bulk buy all the required crap lessening the price??

After leaving school supply buying until the last minute a mad dash around the shops while the phone was being fixed proved very successful.  I swear next year I will not leave it to the last minute!!  Actually I swear I will try not to leave it to the last minute!!

In other news we finally finished season 6 of SOA.  Holy freaking guacamole.  I confess I knew part of what was going to happen after reading something in a magazine although I didn't know the ins and outs plus the other stuff that went down.  If anyone knows where my season 6 disc 3 is could you please let me know, it has disappeared from the face of the earth.  The good news is that the  season 7 dvds have been preordered and should be here early March.  I don't want it to end but I need to know how it all plays out!!




Char left a comment the other day and is a complete mind reader!!  I had mentally made a playlist of music I can play from tomorrow onwards when school goes back!!  Pink being top of the list!!  Damn kids and there learning of songs meaning anything with even the remotest swear word is off limits!!

So that is what is on my mind this week, what's on yours??

Things I Know #44- Back to school

Next week is the return or start of school for the majority of Australian kids after summer holidays.

WooooooooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

I actually have two very excited boys, year 1 kid has been bugging me for weeks now as he wants to go back to school and find out who his teacher is and who is in his class etc.

It just so happens that preschool starts back on the same day.

That could not have worked out better if it tried.

By about 910am on Wednesday I shall be a free (sort of) woman with just one menace at home!!

For a blissful 6 hours!!

Then I get to repeat this on Thursday as well!!

Not that I have thought too hard about it!!

Apparently Mother Nature has organised rain for Wednesday.  Ace it up MN.  I will be doing the drop off and getting out of the car and the pick up so back off with the rain.

So this week I know the countdown is on and also happy Straya day!!

Have a great long weekend guys!!  Is there anything more Australian than cheap wine and a three leg goat!!

Reading #returning




my very own signed copy!!


This is the list of books I have read since Boxing Day.  A massive effort by me seeing as how in 2014 I managed to read 2 books.

I have been switching off completely and losing myself in books.  One of the benefits of being up all hours with late night partaying children is that I ended up ignoring them and getting stuck into my books!!

I did the three John Grishams in a row.  I really liked all of them except the ending of The Racketeer.  It seemed a little rushed but was still a great ending.

Then I started on Returning.

2It is written by the extremely talented Francesca from Francesca Writes Here.

I really enjoyed it.  I really really hope Ms Suters is working on a sequel and that someone buys the rights to the book to turn it into a movie!!

I decided I can't say too much about it without giving bits away so you will just have to grab a copy and read for yourselves!!

Next up I have a book I grabbed from our library's bargain rack called Glasgow Kiss which sounds like a good one!!  Although I sense my reading time will be very limited in the next few weeks as we get right back into the swing of reality.
