@phoneboy This reminded me of the Texas BBQ tour I did for my birthday while I was over there 5 years ago. Completely awesome.

@matigo I hope so too. Its been almost 10 months since I last worked. Plenty od ups and downs along the way but if this all goes through it’ll mean 12-18 months work. I’ll be happy with that.
So this is a public service announcement/rant so bear with me here.
I’ll start with the PSA first: this is a warning to everyone not to buy rugs from Kmart. I had a rug next to my bed to stop the carpet from getting stains from tea spills. It did the exact opposite - argh! It looks like the adhesive didn’t stick to the bottom of the rug properly and it stained the carpet, quite badly.
Over the last three weeks, this stain has been worked on with several different solutions (WD40, vinegar & bicarb, ammonia, urine remover, other carpet cleaners). Believe it or not the urine remover has worked the best, don’t ask me why. This stain has defeated us to the point where we had a “professional” carpet cleaner see what he could do about it.
So now onto the rant. It is now over 7.5 hours after he left here and the carpet in my bedroom still smells like a wet dog. I don’t know if he used anything to dry the carpet after he was done but my good holy god. Are you kidding me right now? I still can’t move any of my furniture back (not that I would now considering how late it is and I have no suitable lighting anyway). Just grrrr!
Referee checks done, alpha and numeric testing done, other checks hopefully done??? Hopefully I’ll find out more next week cause training starts the week after.
Well, seems the drought may have finally broken. Not sure if I mentioned I went for a group interview last week but I got an email to say I’m up to the next stage. This involves referee checks, police checks etc. Once that’s done, training will start in early October.
@matigo She’s only 5. Can’t hardly blame her for that ? She’ll be happy that it’s officially school holidays now.
Well this is fun. My head is still niggly after I woke up with a migraine this morning. Painkillers have been taken but we’ll see how long it takes before I conk out.
