| 1657 | Happy New Year to all TM recipe posters. Good Health to all, especially those who have been unwell this year; an end to shaking and speedy resolution of EQC issues for Cantabrians; Good Luck to those who have taken up their studies again and a fantastic 2011 to everyone. And many thanks to those whose recipes I have enjoyed this year or who have answered queries on TM - your efforts are much appreciated. greerg - 2010-12-31 21:41:00 |

| 1659 | How are the heads this morning? My son(40+ years) has inherited my height which is good but he has also bulged somewhat, as i do. WE are aiming to loose 10Kg in 3 months-very do-able but sucess is important and easier for the more experienced me-he will use exercise to a much greater extent than I will. ANYONE want to join us in the weigh-in on April 1st? I started a few days ago and 1kg gone. Something has to click for us to make the committment doesn't it? I need a lot more off but this is enough for starters-no advice needed thanks!! marywea - 2011-01-01 08:03:00 |
| 1660 | Happy new year Everybody, Marywea, I wont give you any advice but wish you and your son all the best in your quest to drop some weight - good on you! Heres to good health and happiness for all in 2011 and lots of sharing of lovely recipes and advice here on the message boards without too much scrapping - not speaking of any particular posters on this front at all, I just feel that it prevents people that used to post alot - to not do so anymore which is a shame. Cheers. gr8stuf4me - 2011-01-01 08:40:00 |

| 1662 | Happy Happy new Year one and all.... We had a quiet night in, although the night before we stayed at the Stamford Plaza.... Gambled far too much at Sky City... luckily a last minute win saw us about even... give or take about $10... but thats cheap for a night out. I convinced hubbie for dinner at "The Mexican Cafe" and he loved it as well which was good. Had a wander around the viaduct... did a little shopping... a bit like a 24 hour date really. Brekkie at the Stamford Plaza was just lovely and then home to reality. What a lovely way to end 2010. The night was a gift from work... thoroughly enjoyed it... Blobbing today... made a couple of cottage pies for the freezer, continued my kitchen blitz....2 more cupboards left and the oven.. has been very painless doing it this way, just a section at a time. I think what I am enjoying is chilling like I did pre full time work. Had to laugh at the Prawns thread Pam, I have had 2 freinds lose fathers in the last week, one on Christmas Eve & One on New years Eve.... Hug your families and don't take one minute of this life for granted. Treasure Yesterday, Dream about tommorrow but live for today....

| 1663 | Morning all, winnie231 - 2011-01-01 14:53:00 |
| 1664 | Afternoon lufflies. I'm inside for a bit of shade, we've been on a block party today. The people across the way put down a beautiful hangi, we all put dishes out, all the little mokos in out backyard getting their ya-yas out on the playground. Just wanted to wish the lovely folks in here a prosperous (and mostly un-dramatic) New Year. lennyb1 - 2011-01-01 15:44:00 |

You put me to shame, I have been doing it in "blocks" 1 or 2 a day... couldn't face it all in one go. The pantry was my biggie.... don't think I have had it all out since we moved in... but feels great to know everything in there now we can eat or use. Just have 2 more cupboards to go... todays mission. Must admit its a painless way to do it... If I get carried away... may be the oven tommorrow. I have managed to refine the act of chilling this Christmas Break... Back to work on Wednesday though which is a shame. Even started to read a book and have a skirt ready to cut out, had some navy fabric which cost me $3 from the op shop years ago (It was New & unused cotton fabric and i will need about a third of it - so the skirt will cost me $1 plus cotton and elastic lol), got an 8 gored pattern off the net and am going to see it I like the shape... If i do I am going to get some pretty florals and make a couple more skirts for summer, I am quite tall and the ones in the shop are never quite long enough. I may tweak the pattern slightly to make it fuller for the "Proper" skirts...... Is nice to have a practice before buying the fabric - will let you know how I get on. Miss 16 arrived back from camp last night looking brown as a berry... is nice to have my world "complete" again as she left last year (29th Dec lol) Have a great day all.

| 1674 | Hot with a touch of rain hovering here.. humid though! I hope you've all had a lovely start to 2011.. We've had lots of time with people who are special to us over the past while.. more this weekend when we have another Christmas with friends who have been camping, so the Christmas tree is still up, and it'll be Christmas once more on Sunday.. roast pork I think.. roast veges and lots of salads, Christmas Pudding, and other goodies.. all eaten and enjoyed outside.. Thinking of you all there in Canterbury and in the Greymouth area.. hope there were some smiles over the holiday's after the heartache of the past while... hugs.. juliewn - 2011-01-04 16:53:00 |
| 1675 | ps.. on Christmas day, we helped with our local Community Dinner, served for just over a hundred people at one of the high schools here - the perfect place to be able to use all the cooking class oven's, fridges, etc.. and to have dinner served in their hospitality suite. A group of about 15 of us, preparing, cooking, washing dishes, etc.. - who I thought all knew each other - turned out that apart from a few, we were all people who had volunteered. Everything just flowed.. everyone finishing something, looking for the next thing to do, and doing it.. it couldn't have gone better - a real tribute to the organiser too. Hot ham, cold roast chickens, roast veges, gravy, hot fresh veges, lot's of salads..etc.. then pavlova, icecream and large bowls of fresh berries - strawberries, blackberries and boysenberries, all from one of our local berry farms.. It felt good to be there.. and we've added our names to the list to help next year. juliewn - 2011-01-04 17:10:00 |

| 1683 | Julie, you rock! Well done to those who are getting thru their kitchen cleaning with gusto. Mine is patiently waiting, and will just have to keep on waiting while I get loads of paperwork done ... best get back to it instead of distracting myself here! Have a good day all xx fastlanenz - 2011-01-05 10:24:00 |

Hi Ellie, re your poker set and how to get your money back or perhaps to play the game better, check out www.pokerstars.com or any other by searching Holdem Texas Poker websites and look at all the recommended ways of playing especially knowing the better ones to check or bet upon.... I think another one that is popular is "Full Tilt", google it, some of these can be played online and dose not cost anything but gives some practising.... and have a great New Year.

| 1686 | grr just did a large post and poof!! winnie that cat just downright scares the pants off of me, good luck thinking you are going to be sleeping in a bed!! blue blood and distain come to mind, did you say it was your mums? auckland_ali - 2011-01-05 22:18:00 |

| 1688 | Have you done shift work before Winnie, I can't imagine it myself. Did I tell you about melatonin, we had it for jet lag, was amazing but shift workers use it as well. http://www.familydoctor.co.nz/conditions.asp?A=12220&cat My return to work has been fairly painless, have a huge amount to catch up on, but seem to have a "peace" about it all and am just plodding through....knowing that the back log will eventually clear. My boss (for once) can see the back log and is not adding to it with lots of random little jobs... so thats a blessing. Talking of cats, any hints on taming a timid stray? We have the most beautiful black and white cat living under the neighbours garage (and has for some years), that gets on well with our cats. We feed him now (for the last say 2 months) and call him Max, but can't get within 2 metres of him, thats an improvement as before we couldn't get within 10 metres of him. Will keep talking to him and feeding him and see what happens, any hints gladly accepted. My goal is to have him curled up in front of our fire by the time its winter. (Instead of cold under a shed) toadfish - 2011-01-06 06:22:00 |
| 1689 | Good morning all. I'm battling a really stubborn cough, after 3 days I can't wait for it to shift ... I don't do being sick well!! Toady, I'd say that cats love and are comforted by routine, so just keep doing what you're doing. They always choose who they "take to" and in their own time .. there's a reason "dogs have masters, cats have slaves" - I've often thought how true that saying is!! Keep your doors facing Max open so that he/she can see into your house without feeling threatened, and try moving his/her food a little closer to your house every day. Hunger is the most powerful motivator for our furry friends. I'm sorry to hear the changes at Kai Iwi Lakes Ali, we have friends who are there right now, so will be interesting to hear their report when back. You are right about the Auckland Harbour, seeing our city from the water, and also the beauty of our coastline is just magic. Last year when we summered at home over Christmas/NY, we really felt that we are so blessed living in a "holiday location" .. a walk along the beach each day was enough to keep us relaxed and recharging the batteries. But it is also nice to pack up the tent and live outdoors 24/7!! fastlanenz - 2011-01-06 08:41:00 |

| 1692 | dont know if I said it either!! happy new year - got a weight watchers flyer thru the mail yesterday new year new you???? they have a new plan, not sure what it entails, thinking it is more about doing more moving than the food - anyone any wiser, I am sure that cat is lovely winnie, they usually are a purr fest those breeds arnt they? I think going to work at this time of year is great, not too many people around, not full steam feeling, you can clear out the cobwebs on your desk get rid of the clutter be home at the o.clock and generally still feel chilled with the long weekends we seam to get in january. (not that I have an office to go to lolol perish the thought!!) hubby hasnt asked me the jan question yet, - are you perhaps thinking of entering into the workforce this year, lolololol you can tell I think thats a total joke, lolololol sorry laughing away here. muggy already today. charlieb I have sons camping gear where it was dumped so thats a job he can do today - putting it all away!! auckland_ali - 2011-01-06 09:35:00 |

| 1695 | Happy New Year Everyone. My first post for the year. On Tuesday spent 4 hours at the zoo, absolutely crowded, I loved it, but felt pretty exhausted at the end of it. Just got my first ripe tomato, only disappointment is that I bought the plant as a beef stak & it is acid free. Another first is I have just put We are enjoying our new hooded bbq, last night I cooked beef meat balls on kebabs. They were yummy. Have a good day everyone.
