Most of the bloggers that I chat to are on the other side of the world! So when they start chatting about the Bronx, or a certain popular store, or Outer Banks rentals I usually have absolutely no idea what they are chatting about. So, if I have time, I google so I can learn more about it and so I don’t sound so clueless next time I talk to them!

It’s around this time of year that I start asking the kiddos what they would like for Christmas. It’s usually the same sort of stuff each year - phone credit, PS2 games, clothes and makeup (for the girls) and money (for the boy). I usually write a list of my wish list as well so the kids and DH have an idea of what I would like. This year, I’m asking for a Wii and Wii Fit. I was considering adding luxury watches but a luxury watch isn’t going to help me lose weight…lol

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’d better head over to plurk.com!

According to the website, “Plurk is a place that lets you publish and share your thoughts, emo-ness, @#$%^$$@ and loves“. It’s a fun way to “put your life on the line” and keep up with what your friends are doing.

It’s kinda like Twitter but different, ya know? lol

Check it out and while you’re at it, check out my profile and add me as a friend

If you’ve been reading my Housewife Hiccups blog, you would know that I’ve been busy doing a whole heap of decluttering and organising in our house. With not much storage, it sometimes feels like the clutter is taking over and is going to suffocate us….ok, I’m exaggerating a bit…LOL But it’s taking a while to get the house decluttered and some days I think how great it would be if I could just give my house some Leptovox so it can lose it by itself…lol

I’m not that lucky in winning raffle draws, or lotto or things like that. Although I must admit (and I find it funny!) that the current promotion where you can win free Mars Bars has proved to be lucky for our family…lol This morning DD15 and I went to the shops to buy some groceries and I bought a Mars Bar for everyone. I got a free one and so did DD15. So this afternoon, DD15 went down to the corner store to redeem the free bars and when she opened one of them, it was another free bar! Pity we not that lucky in winning Hawaiian or Orlando vacations! That would be nice!
