I'm hungry

Well it's 11:36am and my tummy is rumbling already. I have no idea what to have for lunch but i'm thinking that maybe Woolworths can help me. Maybe tuna and creamed corn on toast... yeah that sounds good.

Lets see what else can I ramble about... oh the weekend after next is Clay and my joint birthday bbq in Audley - hopefully the weather will be warm and sunny! Lats night we bought all the plates and forks and stuff... chips, drinks... now all we need to do it wait for the day and get the meat. Oh that reminds me i'm going to place an order for a michels patisserie mud cake *drool*

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night - Poker at the Poker Dome in Coogee. Normally about 40 people come each week to participate in the tournament and Kelly is coming 1st - I was coming second but got smacked down into 3rd place last week. Bastards.

Uncle Dave and Amanda are still in Thailand, poontanging it up. I go over to feed Oliver and he's super friendly until he's eaten, and then I don't exist. But I hang there anyways, cos he's missing them. I've been watching South Park Season 10 and last night I saw the Warcraft Episode - OMFG was so funny! There was uber pwnage!

Righto - Back to work I guess til I think of something else to type about...

Sites i'm addicted to

Well at the title says: here's a list of website that I frequent and why.

http://bridesunited.myfreeforum.org/ This is a wedding forum that started off a few months ago and has since grown to incorporate so much more. All the girls on there are lovely and give sound advice for anything wedding related, food, relationships, health, everything!

http://petsunited.myfreeforum.org/
This is a small forum just taking off - what we're trying to acheive here is an adoption listing site. We need your support so any advice you can give is appreciated!

This is where Clay and I will be adopting our kitten from in the new year - they come over from Perth and they are pure bred brittish blues.

My very own blog

Wow, I finally did it. My Uncle mentioned I should start one of these up, so here I am!

My name is Mandy and I am 3 week away from turning 23 years old. I currently live in Sutherland, NSW with my Fiance Clay. We have been together for a little over 2 years now.

I work in a very small subsidiary of a very large company - close to home, which is great cos I normally wake up at 8am (My whole working life I have wanted to work close to home). Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary with this company (uumm... yay?!) and I bet I'll receive no trophy for putting up with moronic customers. We get a lot of tire kickers (people who want to waste your time picking your brain but won't buy anything). Suffice to say, I hate customers.

Moving right along, I might tell you a bit about my family...

I am the youngest of two girls - My only full blood sibling is Kelly, 24.

Mum and Dad are not together - Haven't been since I was 2 or 3. Mum (Donna) is currently is a relationship with a really cool guy named Vic, and I have never seen her so happy. Vic has two daughters of his own (who both adore Mum). Dad (Andrew) is married to Amne (8 years now) and I have a step Sister (Samah, 19) and a half Sister (Elena, 5).

Growing up I lived with Mum and visited my Grandparents (Dad's side) almost every second weekend. I like to think that alot of my creativity came from Nan (Pam) - she was always doing something interesting - planting bulbs, knitting clothes for my barbie dolls, massive jigsaw puzzles etc.

Another person who impacted my life while growing up is my Uncle Dave (Mum's brother). I'm sure my interest of computers was helped along by Dave. He introduced me to the computer game called Quake and showed me how to design my own game levels (however, mine were always a little bit lax). I could sit for hours watching Dave design his levels.
