FF:NSW Personal news thread - for news that is post-worthy but not thread-worthy

sara, u should call Linda. This is hthe sorta thing she LOVES!

 

Thanks for all the congratulations guys n gals!

We decided on the venue today check it out www.pavilion.com.au it's a lovely restaurant across the road from the NSW Art Gallery.

Looks out on the domain and botanical gardens.

 

congratulations Lando. I wish I can relive my wedding as it went soooo fast.

 

Did you get married by a celebrant?

All the one's we've contacted want more than $500 for 15 minutes work!

 

Hey, I'd do it for free...but it wouldn't be legal.

 

no, we got married by a priest. But my sister did last year and from memory her's was about $450

 

I got engaged a few weeks ago, we're planning the wedding for May 2005.

Congrats Lando! But like Scoot said it's ROTS month! How does a fanboy cope with something like that!

So how did everyone deal with the hottest October on record? I broke a sweat driving.

 

im dyin up here. apparently our apartment get VERY hot

 

I just speed-read this thread, and got a wierd image of Mola Ram conducting Lando's wedding as Craig's tonsils burst into flame in his hands.

I gotta cut the dose...

(PS: 'grats Lando!)

 

Congrats, Lando.


Just make sure you don't say "I take thee, Padme ..."

 

The aircon at work was broken on Wednesday, NOT good, I sure hope it's fixed now! When I put my sunglasses on that had been in the car all day which had been sitting in the hot sun all day, they burnt my face! Incredible! I also had a thermal receipt in my back which well, burnt. I'll take a pic of it and post it, it's just amazing!

My personal news for the day is I've made a friend who will watch Bollywood movies with me and I didn't even have to force him!

 

Congrats, Miss Messi, on making a friend

Well, my personal newsworthy news is that I got a new computer !!

It's a P4 3.0 gHz and it kicks bum. I recently got broadband, but my crappy old computer was so slow it was like using dial-up. I'm looking forward to speed.

If anyone cares, I got the box, 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, ATI graphics card (very good, actually), sound card, keyboard, mouse and CD burner for under $1000 !! I was stoked. I got it from www.ziplinkcomputers.com.au - they were great and their customer service was exceptional.

I bought a skirt this morning!

It's pink and cost a bundle, but it goes well with the top I bought last year. Got to go get shoes in the morning, then I'm set.

Got an appointment on Sunday morning for hair, got plenty of makeup around here. My sister is sure to have nail polish in a colour I can use...

 

Ok!

shoes
skirt
top

Top is wet there as it's just come out of the machine. It's a paler green than that and looks a lot nicer ironed

 

Seems good to me, but would I know, I'm a guy.

Nice work on the new PC Keith. Put it to good use.

Personal news for me... I got an extra shift at work today, which almost makes up for the zero hours I got last week. On a related note, if anyone knows of any marketing graduate or entry level marketing positions please PM me!

 

Heya, pretty skirt! Good job, you'll look fabuloso! ^.^v Where did you end up getting it? I have to find a dress!

 

I got it at Jacqui-E, love that store

The Chicksuit

 

Fanatstic! You look really nice, Kate!

Are you having fun with your new computer, Keith?

Ki, you should come and do some of my shifts for me, I've got work coming out of my ears which is having an adverse effect on my health and my grades.

 

I leave for India on the 31st of October, I'm off on a sourcing mission on behalf of my company www.redox.com

Sounds like fun but it's mostly work, not much time for sight seeing.

 

Well my good news is that I'm now an Aunt for the 4th time. Liam Tomas was born Thursday at 2:56pm, 3.145kg.
