    <content type="html">Well due to overwhelming demand (or..y'know, not) here are some more photos of my recent life. Enjoy (again, or not).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="More photos..."&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the new socks I bought myself today. All my socks have holes so I really *needed* some more. I like these new ones very much, especially the&amp;nbsp;"Argyle" pattern ones. I still want to purchase some new toe-socks as mine are all holey as well but that is a job for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3219-1.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was out today I did my usual weekly grocery shop. So this is what I&amp;nbsp;buy most&amp;nbsp;weeks&amp;nbsp;at the grocery stores (Aldi and Coles today): It doesn't look like much food for approximatly $85 but all the fresh fruit and veg really adds up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3218-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend was my little brother's (one of them) wedding.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_stuwiggle' lj:user='stuwiggle' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;stuwiggle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;was a groomsman and looked very smart:&lt;br /&gt;My brother JD&amp;nbsp;(the groom), his mate Dale, my other&amp;nbsp;brother Sam and ofcourse my wonderful hubby.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/JamesDaleSamStuart.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A photo of my sister Loxie (who got married herself earlier this year) and Sebastian, in the church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3191.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian and I at the reception (and yes I *was* a little tipsy!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/KathySabastian.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A family photo at the reception: (my sister Loxie, brother Sam, myself and &lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_stuwiggle' lj:user='stuwiggle' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;stuwiggle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/LauraSamKathyStuart.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a couple of random photos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuwiggle and Sebastian chilling out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3186.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me crashed out on the couch after a looooong day of classes and an exam at college:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3197.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you go.

    <content type="html">I know, I know it has been ages (again) since I last updated. My only excuse is that I'm lazy! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are fine here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuwiggle is working as per usual (though he is working all weekend this weekend which is sucky) and spent the morning playing golf with a friend of ours (Mr Snakey).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian is growing up so quickly it is amazing to see. He is still just loving kindy and I think he is going to really be ready for, and enjoy school next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been studying my behind off at college/TAFE. I've had my first exam of the term on Thursday and there are many exams between now and the mid-year break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been extremely slack with my letter writing, (just finding the time to sit down and write/type when I actually have a functioning brain is tricky at the moment), but rest assured that if I owe you a letter (especially you Sarah E from WI) it will be winging it's way to you as soon possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Many photos..."&gt;I have been doing other things (other than studying) too. I have gotten back into sewing after a rather extended break from it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got around to finishing that long Victorian petticoat that has been in the works for nearly 6 months:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the hat stand was the *only* way to do the ruffles-pinned-to-main-skirt thing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3192.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All pinned up and ready to sew...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3193.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it is completed and being modelled:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3195.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3196.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also attacked a couple of old AIRTC (Airforce Cadets) shirts from my youth into a pair of *very* funky pants for Sebastian:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is me trying on one of the shirts - which fit me 10 years ago at age 15 and aside from the bountiful boobies, still fits me now!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3210.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then I hacked into said shirts and managed to make these:&lt;br /&gt;FRONT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3213.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BACK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3214.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is Sebastian modelling them for me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3215.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3216.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_3217.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you go, a few pics to show you my recent sewing projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect another post very with more photos because I am in that kind of mood.</content>

    <content type="html">I know i haven't been posting much lately. Please know that i am still keeping up to date reading my friend's list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have been pretty&amp;nbsp;hectic in my life regarding my studies. It's coming up to the end of the term (only 3 days to go! Pity about the two major exams in those 3 days) so there have&amp;nbsp;been assignments to complete, exams to study for and other class mates to avoid (so I can study in peace).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been working my proverbial&amp;nbsp;off and it's paying off. In my last two accounting exams I scored 96% and 98% with an equally high result expected in the one&amp;nbsp;I did last week. It's not as easy as it seems I assure you and most nights finds me&amp;nbsp;working hard at my desk, memorising and&amp;nbsp;cementing what ever it is that&amp;nbsp;I have learned that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As&amp;nbsp;I mentioned&amp;nbsp;above, I have two more exams this week before I am FREE (for the holidays). One is&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;*very* scary Law exam (worth 50% of my class mark or something like that) and yet another accounting exam. I'm not feeing especially confident about either but there is a couple of days left to cram&amp;nbsp;more stuff into my head before&amp;nbsp;having to prove I've learned what&amp;nbsp;I need to have learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, Sebastian is well and loving kindy still. Stuwiggle is also well and is&amp;nbsp;doing the work thing as per&amp;nbsp;usual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dear friend Fire is coming over from the UK to visit in just a few days and although he is here for a dissapointingly short time it will&amp;nbsp;be wonderful to see him again&amp;nbsp;and show him the sights (as he has never been to Australia before).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all,..just a brief note to let you all know that I am still alive and&amp;nbsp;kicking (just).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;K&amp;nbsp;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have been super duper busy so far this morning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a (singular) head lice in Sebastian's hair this morning before kindy! I got rid of it and checked the rest of his hair before sending him off to kindy. I let the teachers know so they can alert the other parents as I know that Sebastian picked up the lice from one of the other kids there. Since getting home from dropping Sebastian off I have stripped all the bedding from our beds and started washing. I have washed (in hot water) all the sheets, towels, mattress protectors/underlays, pillow protectors, plush toys and boiled all our hair brushes and ties. With any luck this will prevent the lice from continuing their life cycle and protect Stu and I from them. I have checked both of our hair and we are lice free (thank goodness - can you imagine getting a super fine nit comb through Stu's thick, curly hair!!!???) So that has been my morning thus far. Thankfully the weather is fine today so I can hang most of the washing on the line (though the toys have gone in the clothes dryer).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;K&lt;/div&gt;</content>

Sebastian's op is still planned for the 30th. With any luck it will actually happen this time and will be over and done with by February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's if for now...

Talking with&lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_firemagefire' lj:user='firemagefire' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://firemagefire.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://firemagefire.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;firemagefire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the 'phone for hours on end.&lt;br /&gt;2. Spending the weekend with&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_stuwiggle' lj:user='stuwiggle' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;stuwiggle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and Sebastian doing nothing much at all.&lt;br /&gt;3. Having incredible nookie with &lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_stuwiggle' lj:user='stuwiggle' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;stuwiggle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;4. Receiving lots of letters from pen-pals in the post.&lt;br /&gt;5. Getting my results for last year's study - I passed with DISTINCTION!&lt;br /&gt;6. Getting accepted into the Adv. Dip of Accounting for this year.&lt;br /&gt;7. My dear friend Bel arriving back in the country after her overseas holiday.&lt;br /&gt;8. Finding a really funky and cheap Sri Lankin restaraunt just down the road.&lt;br /&gt;9. Having a quiet lunch with stuwiggle at afore mentioned restaraunt.&lt;br /&gt;10. Buying new computer games and playing them for hours while Sebastian is at kindy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 things which were not so happy-making this month:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1. Finding out that Sebastian is gong to to need surgery to fix his hernia.&lt;br /&gt;2. Finding out that surgery is schedualed for this Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;3. Not saving my game often enough and the system crashing, meaning I lose the past hour's game play. Grrr...&lt;br /&gt;4. My dear friend S, from the US having her heart broken by an absolute prick of a man.&lt;br /&gt;5. Stu having to work over Xmas &amp;amp; NYE.&lt;br /&gt;6. Blowing money on shite (take away food mostly) when I should be saving for April then feeling guilty about it afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;7. Gaining weight.&lt;br /&gt;8. Being so physically far from my best friend &lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_firemagefire' lj:user='firemagefire' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://firemagefire.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://firemagefire.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;firemagefire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;9. Being bored brainless by total inactivity and having to wait until February 14 to start doing stuff again!&lt;br /&gt;10.&amp;nbsp; Buying a wonderful possum fur and sheep skin hat from NZ via mail order and finding that it is a little bit too big but I can't afford to buy the next size down. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <title>Selling Spike</title>

    <content type="html">Sadly I have to sell Spike, my 3 year-old Childreni python. :(&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has become increasingly snappy over the past 12 months and last night he actually attacked Xander (who shares an enclosure with him). So I can't keep them together anymore and I can't afford to buy a new enclosure to keep him seperatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if anyone wants to buy a slightly snappy, adult male Childreni python please let me know!&amp;nbsp;He will likely settle down and be less snappy with more regular handling (and once he is in your hands he is very placid) and would make a good pet as well as a breeding snake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is an excellent feeder (1 adult mouse every 3-4 weeks), sheds regulally and without any problems. Very active during the warmer months (great fun to watch!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll include a 50lt plastic "click-clack" enclosure, 2 x cardboard&amp;nbsp;"hides", heat mat, probe (to monitor the heat)&amp;nbsp;and thermostat, water bowl, shedding rock...basically everything you need to keep him happy &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;for free&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am looking to sell him for about $200 but I will consider any reasonable offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously you will need to live somewhere close by enough to pick him up (I'm in Western Sydney), have a reptile licence and be willing to take good care of him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Photos of Spike under cut..."&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/SpikeChildreni1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_0445.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_0443.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Today may well be Xmas for the rest of the country but for us it's just another day. This is the first year ever that I am at home (my own home as opposed to the family or in-law's&amp;nbsp;home) for December 25th. Stu is working over Xmas (including Xmas Eve, Xmas night, Boxing Day night, NYE and New Year's Day night) and so we are at home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have spent the day writing letters to people, watching Sebastian play with his new toys and waiting for Stu to wake up so I can have some adult company. *Sniff* Yes I am feeling sorry for myself dammit! And why not!? I can hear all my neighbours having parties, I can smell BBQs and here I am feeling pathetic and alone. I have Xmas music on the radio, every TV station is extolling the virtues of celebrating this festive day with family and friends and I am going insane with boredom and isolation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We did spend the weekend previous with my family so I shouldn't really be complaining I know. There are people in the world who have no family at all or even enough to eat. I know all of this but I am still in a funk. :( figure that this time of year is supposed to be all about self-indulgence (amongst other things) so I'm going to indulge my self-pity for just one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah Humbug says I...but I do hope that everyone else is having a good day. Sorry for the whine.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I have been a very busy girl today. I&amp;nbsp;got up early as (usual for&amp;nbsp;a Tuesday), dropped Sebastian at kindy,&amp;nbsp;went and had coffee with Stu at the shops and then I had my nail appointment.&amp;nbsp;(I have dark red nails again).&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_stuwiggle' lj:user='stuwiggle' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://stuwiggle.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;stuwiggle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and I both got our eyebrows done and then I decided to go shopping!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;So I caught the train&amp;nbsp;into&amp;nbsp;Blacktown and the first thing I bought was two beautiful woolen shawls (2 for $40 which is excellent value because usually they sell for about $40 each) one is red and black and the other is a greeney-grey and black (both are fully reversable too). So anyway I am very well pleased with that and I am even wearing one currently because the weather has been (delightfully) cool...about 10C below average for this time of year apparently.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I bought Bel and Mike their xmas&amp;nbsp;socks (a combination of ankle, knee-high and work socks - about 16 pairs in total) from Big W (or maybe it was Target? - I don't remember now). I went to the local book shop and bought Matthew&amp;nbsp;the second Harry Potter book as planned and so now that is all my Xmas shopping&amp;nbsp;done for the&amp;nbsp;year (though I forgot that Bel's birthday is this coming&amp;nbsp;Sunday so I must get something for her on Friday....How does a nice card with&amp;nbsp;$20 in it sound? I'm all out of ideas!)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Then I was a bit naughty... I went to a fabulous little Indian "hippy-trippy" shop in Blacktown (Tree of Life). Honestly I wasn't planning to buy anything in there, I was just going to have a&amp;nbsp;little look....but well.... *Blush* I saw these beautiful throw cushion covers in just the right colours for my futon in the study and just gave in to temptation. They really are very nice and match the room splendidly. The Victorians were a bit mad for all things oriental&amp;nbsp;and of course with the British colonization of India in full swing it actually meshes rather well with the faintly Victorian theme I&amp;nbsp;am attempting to achieve in this room.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;This afternoon it rained again (hurrah!) and I wrapped the xmas pressies for Bel and Co, before toddling off to bed for a short snooze before I went to pick Sebastian up from kindy. This evening I cooked Pad Thai (reluctantly it must be said...I am growing increasingly bored with cooking at the moment) for dinner and I think I will spend the rest of the evening playing around on the computer and half watching the 20/20 match between NZ and Australia on TV.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;font size="2"&gt;I called the real estate first thing this morning and at around 11am the land lord (and his wife) dropped by to inspect the damage (I also found out that they are my neighbours! They live in the house directly in front of me! How cool!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway the land lord promised to call a roofing guy to fix the tiles and said he would also send someone around to get a quote for the pergola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 2:30pm I got a call from the roof tiler and he came over. He was a really lovely chap and we had a good chat (I even sent him home with some fresh garden produce!) He fixed the two smashed roof tiles and sussed out the pergola. He is giving the quote to the land lord tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told the land lord that there was no rush for the repairs/replacement for the pergola as it is only an inconveniance but the roof tiles could become a big problem if we got more rain (which we did just after the tiler guy replaced them). So I guess I will have to wait and see when the land lord is going to organise the pergola - he did say he would try for before xmas but that was before he got the $3000-4000 quote so I think it will be in the new year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all I am well satisfied with the real estates and land lord's prompt action. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">We got hit with a really big storm this afternoon. Hail stones the size of tennis balls&amp;nbsp;pelting out&amp;nbsp;of the&amp;nbsp;sky at high speed, gale force winds driving those missiles of icy doom into walls and cars. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at once.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all fine here (we stayed inside and watched from through the windows (the protected ones...not the ones likely to get smashed in!) Our pergola suffered some pretty serious damage and now when it rains it will act less like a roof and more like a sieve! Also we have at least one severely cracked roof tile (I can clearly see the sky through the 1cm + gap!) I will be calling the estate agent first thing tomorrow morning to see about getting things repaired.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway here are some photos I took immediatly after the storm had passed (I was not so desperate to get good photos to risk braining myself by going out during it!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Photos under here..."&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My back yard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_2784.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the hail (and my foot) :P&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_2788.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the hail stones in Stu's big hands....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_2787.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some more stones...with my hand next to them for comparison....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/Stuwiggle/100_2791.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Read more..."&gt;&lt;strong&gt;100 Things About Me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1. I am 25 years old but often feel much older.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I sometimes feel like I am not truly liked unless someone finds me sexually attractive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I sucked my thumb until I was 18 years old and only stopped because I got acrylic nails for my wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I have been married to stuwigglefor more than 6 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I don't have a lot of true friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I have a lot of aquantainces whom I enjoy spending time with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I often wonder if I was born in the wrong century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. I am obsessed with all things Victorian/Edwardian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. I greatly dislike hot weather during the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. I enjoy balmy evenings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. I try to be a good mum but don't always feel like I suceed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. I am not as self-assured as I would like to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Very few people know me very well and lots of people know me a little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. I have unusual attitudes to sex, relationships and love.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. I have a great passion for shoes that are totally impractical (thankfully I rarely have the money to throw away on 6 inch red patent-leather stilettos!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. I am almost entirely hetrosexual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. I don't generally like children, especially children who are not related to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. I don't believe that women are better parents than men.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. I believe in the rights for gay men and women to have equal legal and social standing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. I am an advocate for gay marraige and adoption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. I don't know very many gay people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. I couldn't live without music in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. I don't like admitting that I don't always enjoy being a stay-at-home mum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. I want to work in a job where I get to wear snazzy business suits and high heels - this is one of my main motivations for studying accountancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. I sometimes wish I had slightly bigger breasts and that they were a little less saggy but I don't think I would ever go under the knife to achieve that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. I am 99% happy with my physical apperance 99% of the time - except when I see myself in a photo or in the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27. One of my favourite things is to find letters from pen-pals in my mail box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28. I get angry regulally and usually for no good reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29. My favourite colour is purple and has been since I was about 8 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30. I honestly believe that size does matter (and yes I'm referring to the obvious)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31. I am incredibly impatient and find waiting to be a trial like no other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32. I am addicted to nicotine, caffiene and sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;33. I only ever wear silver jewelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;34. My favourite stone is amethyst followed by blue sapphire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35. When I fall in love with someone I give them my all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;36. Sometimes I give too much of myself to other people and run out of energy for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;37. I taught myself to write in the old fashion "foundation" hand because I think "cursive" looks ugly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;38. I failed geography at high school because I was colour blind and my teacher was an asshat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;39. I tend to exagerate things to make my stories more interesting because deep down I doubt that I have anything very interesting to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40. My biggest fear is losing my loved ones and not having the opportunity to say good bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;41. I regret taking up smoking as a teen....but I don't regret it enough to give up smoking now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;42. I check my email, LJ and my letter box daily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;43. I get obsessed with a particular song or album and listen to it incessantly until I can't stand hearing it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;44. I like to pretend that I can still sing reasonably well...I actually don't think I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;45. I don't want to be living in this country and long to be living in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;46. I pout and whine when I don't get my own way...or I get angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;47. I don't think that I am a very nice person most of the time and I am constantly amazed that people want to be around me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;48. I own more stationary (letter pads and the like) than I will ever likely use and I continue to buy more when I find it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;49. I have several rather unusual (freakish?) fetishes....and no I'm not going to share them with the world. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50. I have lost 16.4kg in body weight since October 2006 and I am very proud of myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;51. I am a pagan but am yet to find anyone who follows a similar path to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;52. Sometimes I get very lonely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;53. Snuggling in bed with stuwiggleis one of the things that will almost always make me happy and content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;54. Hearing Sebastian giggle is one of the best sounds in my world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;55. I have only ever been seduced once in my life, and that was by my first "serious" boyfriend when I was 15 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;56. I have done things in my life that I am far from proud of and there are many things I look back on and cringe at. I assume that everyone has such things in their past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;57. Talking to firemagefire is a sure fire way to make my day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;58. I don't think about depressing world issues because I am selfish and self-centered. I don't like this about myself but don't hate it enough to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;59. I believe that everyone has more choices than they realise. One cannot choose some circumstances or situations but they can always choose how they react.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;60. I get extremely frustrated with people who constantly view themselves as victims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;61. I cry in movies, while reading books and even when I'm watching TV commercials but I very rarely cry in "real life".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;62. I am attracted to men who have bottled up or hidden passions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;63. I love my family and my in-laws and would never want to live with them. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;64. I hate getting "forwards" in my email inbox or on my phone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;65. I have naturally dirty blond coloured hair which I take great pains to hide. I haven't had a whole head of my natural hair colour since I was about 13 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;66. I love the shape I can achieve when I am wearing a corset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;67. I don't have much of a natural waist. This is a constant dissapointment to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;68. My favourite way to spend a day would be in the company of my dearest friends, just chatting and hanging out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;69. The part I enjoy most about going out to a club or gig is the getting ready and all dressed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;70. I am very rarely subtle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;71. I broke my left arm when I was 12 years old and have two very cool scars to show for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;72. I miss having a father sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;73. I am a closet nerd and a huge Star Trek fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;74. Blue eyes are to me, the most beautiful coloured eyes in the world. The 3 people I love above all others all have blue eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;75. My eyes are hazel in theory but more "sewage coloured" in reality. A mucky mix of brown, green and orange.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;76. In my fantasies I have bigger breasts, a smaller waist, I'm short, long auburn hair and vibrant green eyes. In reality I have none of these things...I guess that's why they are called fantasies huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;77. I hate to dissapoint people. I will make myself miserable to do something I have said I would just to avoid the potential of them being dissapointed in me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;78. I am a romantic and love showering my loved ones with trinkets to show my affection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;79. If I won a million dollars tomorrow I would move to the UK next year and give my family and friends some money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;80. There are only a few things that I consider to be constant in my life and my marraige is one of those things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;81. Sometimes I wonder if I am one of only a tiny minority who has a healthy, loving long-term relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;82. I don't trust hairdresses to only cut off as much hair as I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;83. I am very anal-retentive about how my kitchen is organised, how my clothes are put away and how my shopping goes into the trolley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;84. I read more than anyone else I know.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;85. I am not convinced that I have the intelligence to do what I want to do with my life scholastically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;86. I get a thrill when someone I am attracted to calls me by a pet name or winks at me. I don't know why this is so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;87. My mental picture of myself is very different to the reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;88. I haven't had a Xmas tree in my house since I moved out of my Mum's home when I was a teen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;89. I believe that I swear too often and that I am too coarse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;90. I am insecure about relationships in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;91. I feel most comfortable going out wearing a long skirt. Showing off my legs in public is not something I do easily even though I think I have reasonably nice looking legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;92. I thing that generally society has very backward views about women, sex, relationships and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;93. I worry incessantly that I am somehow screwing up my son and that he will hate me for the way I have brought him up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;94. The full moon always makes me feel energetic and I rarely sleep well on those nights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;95. I love swimming but dislike actually getting wet!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;96. I chew on my nails when I am distracted. This is annoying as I have acrylic nails and they snap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;97. I was terrified of thunder (though not lightening) until I was approximatly 23 years old. I don't know what happened that made me change my mind, because I am now exhillarated by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;98. I feel more naked without my jewelry than without my clothes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99. I believe myself to be an inherantly lazy person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100. I was still losing baby teeth (milk teeth) at the age of 20. I think I still have one to lose!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>
