Spending new years at our family beach house for the last time.:( As it has to be sold unfortunately due to my money hungry aunty who's now owns half when my 102yo grandmother died. Its only been in our family for 60 years and my grandfather built the house himself. But that doesn't stop this money witch. I bloody devastated but I can't afford to buy her half.
Anyhoo! After that we are going to Merimbula on the 12th for two weeks. Can't wait! Drink copious amounts of beer and do nought for two weeks.:drunk:

Same old bull dung with the girl friends family. I`ll take the wagon, just in case I get an itch after lunch. Doesn`t take much these days for me to get an itch when family are involved lol.

Got any mate who would be interested in buying her out??
I know how ya feel.
My money hungry aunty got uncle to sell over 4 million worth of assets which included 2 million worth of farm land which we leased from them and a prime beach front shack which his father built by hand..
They had both passed no more than 4 years later and as it turned out we got nothing.. just screwed..

Any who. .
Working pre Christy and post new years. But between my Olds are.xoming down for a bit, planning on a short camp trip.... hopefully

Growing up as kids we used to do a big thing on chrissy eve with the family. Stay up pass midnight to wish everyone a merry Christmas and then open presents.
Dads now 80 and mum is 74, there heath is pretty good, but the age has court up to them. So we are doing it at my place. After i have worked from this Friday straight through to Wednesday, 6 x 12 hour nights finishing on Christmas eve morning. my wife finishes on Monday. while my brother "works" half day on Thursday, his wife is a stay at home mum with three kids 20,17 and 10. Would be nice for them to do something at least once.

Christmas day we are at my sister in laws and we usually do NYE with my wife family, as we all have kids between 15-4.

Early Jan we are off to Tassie for a week and then my wife is back at work on the 11th and I'm back for the 15, 16 and 17th, then off till after Australia day. My son is booked in for his op on his veins on the 21st.

I have got my side of the family coming down for a couple of days. They will head home and a van load of my kids and grandkids will stay for Christmas and new year. They'll head home and another van load of cousins will arrive to stay a week or two. I am looking forward to it all, but unfortunately the Robe trip will be out, at this stage.
Merry Christmas and have a happy and prosperous New Year, everyone.

I'm keen on a day trip somewhere as my Olds will be down. But we have a pretty full on break so not sure if I'd get time..
Maybe the boxing day Monday but really unsure..

I haven't been out that way for a long time and are busting to get back there. Buuut the coppers have put a dampener on that! Hopefully in a few months I will have my Patrol Engineered, just saving the coin for it, and then they can suck a fat one! Lol.

If you're up that way, go and see Running Creek campsite! Best campsite I have ever been to hands down ... Relax to the sounds of howqua river. Abhout 20 minutes south-east of Mansfield.
