Title: Xmas holiday period
Post by: Kydar on December 06, 2012, 03:49:20 PM
Hey all,
Currently I'm sitting at home with a torn muscle down the inside of my thigh going insane.

 Lesson to all :  Even if you are extremely confident on a ladder, use one every other day at work, don't become too cocky installing Xmas lights on the house whilst enjoying delicious bevvys.

Thank heavens for Myswag. Gets kinda boring when ya confined to the lounge.

Anyhow, just wondering if anyone is interested on posting what their up to over the Xmas holiday break.
 We're towing the camper up to Sandbar / Bushlands park on the Lakes Way just South of Forster. Some 4x4 sand driving on Cellito's beach, heaps of fishing, good food ( taking away my little spit I bought at Bunnings it's a ripper) . Heading off early boxing day for 10 days can't wait to get the kids away from home, they absolutely love it every time we go..........

Sounds like a great plan.

We are going to Wollondilly Station between the 26th and 30th, then the daughter is off to the Jamboree from the 31st to the 15th Jan. We will also take another long weekend early Jan to celebrate LB's birthday.

Cannot wait.

My Christmas break starts in 13 days.  I'll be heading off for a 4 nighter - not sure where yet - but somewhere that isn't too popular I hope.  Then it'll be Christmas ... so I'll have to participate in that, but I will probably spend the night alone ... then I'm off to my parents place for a few days. 

Washing, chores and then back to that  >:D place where I get money to fund such fun.

The same place I go every Christmas and holiday season, In Bloody sane.  ;D
Between Fysh and her shopping trips, the kids fighting with each other, the crazy bastards on the road and the hot weather at the outlaws place, come February I'm just about ready to see a tailor to make me a straight jacket.

well, we're hitting Fraser for a week starting tomorrow, but as for the Xmas break itself, we're taking the boat out and spending Xmas on the water for a few days.

Post by: ewwreckers on December 06, 2012, 05:44:32 PM
Heading to Cobar to mums for a couple days over Chrissy, boxing day head to Moree to see dad for a couple days, then Hervey Bay for a couple days, Fraser from 30/12- 3/1, then another couple of weeks just going wherever.  Only thing after Fraser is taking the kids on Lady Musgrave Island cruise, then play by ear.  Depending on how wet the wet season is, we'd like to go up to Mackay, but otherwise Rocky will do, and we'll head back down the coast until we get to mother in law's at Nelson Bay, and depending on money and time, might go as far down as the Vic border to Eden where a mate lives.
All this depends on if I get a job a job with the council I applied for, if I get that, well it all goes down the sh!t chute and we'll get Hervey Bay and Fraser in before trying to move 900k's away, BUT we'll be finally moving to our farm in sunny QLD so all good :D

I got in late, and was met by 12 angry finance staff saying their awesome new multi-million$ system was down and what was I going to do about it.

I asked the 12 of them if anyone had called the support line, to which I was met with instant silence and 12 people walking away very quietly...

12 of the kind of arsehole I dont want to meet in the bush as my friendly-o-meter would flatten them

Bundy & back for the w/end before chrissy for an early one with family. Then just a short 10hr drive to Townsville on the 22nd to spend some time with my sister & family. I don't know why, but we only ever go to the Ville in summer & my opinion of it is very low at this time of year. God it's warm up there. The upside she has a pool.
I think we are taking my 4.5yo for a ride in a helicopter while we are there. Should be a hoot.
th I think. Might come back from the Ville early to do a couple of jobs around the house. No camping unfortunately, too bloody hot anyway. not due back at work till the

Xmas Day is looking good.

All the rellies are staying in Adelaide so only have the Mother in Law  ???

Reminds me of the year that we told everyone to go take a running jump and sat at home and had Ham and Mustard sandwiches for Xmas lunch  ;D

It turned out to be one of our best Xmas's, anyway we are pulling the camper out on the weekend between Xmas and NY and putting it beside the Murray River and sitting there for 4 days.

I took the old lawnmower down today and mowed all the weeds down in anticipation, its a shocker when your campsite is only 10mins from home  :cup:
