We finally got around to getting a freezer big enough for all this dead animal so we put our order in and I went off to pick it up today.

The way it works, you ring up and order what you want on Monday. You have to order in bulk so you have to get a full sheep, or half a cow or pig. But you can go halfs with someone, like we did with the cow and he will half everything for you.

The animals are all grown/raised by him, and are slaughtered on the Thursday. You then go Friday afternoon or Saturday morning and he will cut it all in front of you, so you get the cuts, thickness etc just the way you like it.

I took the kids with me, was very interesting to see it done. Amazing the way he wielded the knife about.

We have soo much meat, I honestly don’t know what to do with it. I am sooo sucky at cooking, we can’t have meat and 3 veggies with all of it. We had some sort of steak tonight (I am in trouble for not getting it labelled…have bags and bags of..cow?) and it was amazing, so tender and juicy..and that’s with ME cooking it. Imagine what it would be like if you knew what you were doing

Bits and pieces that we didn’t want, like the ribs, shin etc..the meats cut off along with other bits and made into mince…LOTS of mince. There was 24kgs all up!

Anyone able to tell me what’s what, cause I have no bloody idea LOL

Prices and phone, he’s near Badgerys Creek if anyone in Sydney is interested

Dominic is such a lovely bloke, we will definetly be be getting all our meat here from now on!

Now any suggestions what the hell I can do with all this meat..I seriously need cooking lessons

The original concept was a going away party for Naomi who is moving to that c place next year for 12mths. But coincided with pink ribbon day, so we had a Pink Ribbon breakfast on sunday morning with a decorate your bra parade! The girls did a great job of decorating their bras and we managed to raise some money..and awareness for breast cancer while having a blast.

I rushed off to the RTA the afternoon of my 16th birthday to get my learners permit. Had no idea back then it would take so long to get around to going to the next level…and so much has changed since then.

Thankfully I only needed 50hrs, cause my log book is a bit of an antique from 2002. It was filled out with driving a week here and there over there years..

Finally got a round to it, with a little help from a dream of Patric’s

Went for my test yesterday..and WOOOOO! Passed first go, which you would bloody hope so after so much practise. Not game to drive the car by myself yet…working up to that

He is getting a new (used) car, and I get stuck with the old one. I want something cute and pink to relive my youth in. Not some fat arsed old persons car

The challenge came to an end last week, and yours truly came in first place again (how bloody awesome am I). I lost 6.88% of my body weight and lost nearly 7kg..which was a little shy of the 8kg goal I set for the challenge (but honestly didn’t think I would get close to when I set it) Also means I have officially lost over 10kgs since I started, really never thought I would get there either so I am super pleased!

Congratulations to all the girls who joined in and did just as well. Thanks girls for joining in and helping me reach my goals.

The awesome Kay bought me this prize, a pink pac man shirt w00t..I can now fit into normal t’s!!
