Gold investment

I know of a few friends who invest their money in gold instead of the stock exchange or properties. I suppose you have to know what you’re doing if you want to buy gold bullion as an investment. Some of them told me how the returns is really good so now I’m inclined to do the same too. Not restriciting to just buy bullion, you can also buy gold coin instead.

I’m a little nervous since gold is very new to me as an investment so I have to do my homework before I use my hard earned cash to purchase gold bullion or coins and hope to get a handsome profit along the way. I think I should ask my friends for some advise, I’ll start a couple who buy bullion on a daily basis. I’m sure they can give me some good tips.

That is it

Spent the whole Sunday helping the inlaws move..again. But today we finally got everything out of the old house and into the new one. Its taken over 2 weekends to shift all their worldly possessions. Things that have been accumulated in that house for 26 years. Should have hired a truck and we'd have got everything done quicker because instead we had a trailer to transport all the stuff in several trips thus wasting a lot of time in the process. Nevermind, its all done now so that is it.

Acne treatment

Damn! My acne is firing up again. I have such a problem with my skin and I’m forever finding acne treatment for my face. Just when I thought I’ve found the treatment for me my acne fights back after a couple of weeks. I don’t know what to do anymore. There has to be a treatment that would stop my acne on its track. Help!

Defacto long weekend

Today is the start of a defacto 4 day weekend. Its defacto because traditionally people take the Monday off so they can extend the weekend into Tuesday which is a holiday. So whats the holiday? Its the Melbourne Cup Day of course. The horse racing day that stops the nation. Every punters will be arriving at Flemington racecourse for the big day out, even from overseas. What am I going to do? Like what I always do every year; nothing.

Samsonite luggage

I can’t remember the last time we went away for a little break. Its time I think before we get too stressed out. Digging out the luggage from the storeroom we found that they’re way past their due date with broken straps and locks. Time to get a trust worthy Samsonite luggage that would last us longer that is trusted since I can remember.

The local fruit monger

It gives me the irate that the local fruit monger is using the car park behind them as their private loading bay. Every morning I see them taking up a big chunk of the car park space to load their produce for the day. There are trucks, pallets of fruits and forklift running all over the car park and it won't be long before something bad happens. The best case scenario is someone's car get scratched and worst case scenario is someone gets killed! Someone should complain to the local council about this and it may have to be me.

Walk in bath

Granny’s at her age when her mobility is getting difficult. We had to move her into a smaller one story place. She likes her independence so she can still enjoy all the privacy she needs in this new place but we just modified a few things in the house to suit her like getting a walk in bath that would greatly benefit her. Everything to make her life more convenient and comfortable.

Last night's dinner

Its been a while since we had guests over for dinner so we did that last night. Just family members though one is considered not part of the family since the divorce and her son from the current marriage. No need to delve in the past, let bygones be bygones. We can still be friends so last night's dinner was sort of a thanks giving dinner to her since she bought us dinner on the weekend.

Her new son is quite a handful though; can't seem to calm down for one second. Bouncing off the wall all night long. I don't think I could spend one day with him, his mother has so much patience with him.

Ipods

What is it with kids and ipods? Just when you thought they’re happy with the latest ipods they have to come up with a latter model. So now they’re tired of the ones they have and want the latest models. Such is the joy of parenting. Well they’ll just have to wait for Christmas I told them because I’m not a money printer!

Idiot

I'm such an idiot. When I bought my PC not long ago I thought I've already registered myself to get a free OS upgrade when the new OS comes out. Little did I know that after 4 days after the release date I went to check on the status of my registration that I found out I didn't properly register myself for the upgrade! Luckily it's still not too late so I finished off the registration so now I'm waiting for them to send me the upgrade. What an idiot!

Industrial supplies

The factory is built way out in the outer suburb. It’s a new industrial development area so there are not a lot of businesses out that way yet. Therefore we have to ship in all the industrial supplies from the nearby town. A little inconvenient but it won’t be permanent. This area is going to be prosperous in the next few years and we’ll be in the midst of it then.

Brilliant!

Bought myself a great stuff that's going to help save me water. Its actually a bucket, a tubtrug is the exact name for it. Its a bucket made of flexible plastic strong enough for any use around the house. But I use it to collect the shower water when I'm in the shower. It comes in various sizes and colour but I chose the largest size which is a 75 litre. I can stand in the bucket while I shower and I reckon I can collect about 95% of the water used. Then I simply scoop that water and use it in the garden. Brilliant!

Faucet and things

Our bathroom is getting a bit run down. Its over ten years old and things are falling apart like the faucet and shower head. I think its time for a bathroom makeover. I could do with a new bathroom, sick of looking at the old one. New tiles on the wall, new shower and bath, new vanity unit..oh the missus is going to go berserk with the renovation.

Busy day

Its been a busy Sunday. After a rather quiet Saturday today was quite a contrast. We started the day rather early for a Sunday. Went to the Farmer's Market at Bulleen, then went to the MIL's house where people are moving Emily's furniture to her new place. Also had lunch at her new place where her mother cooked gyoza for everyone.

Then we went to the MIL's new house in Sunshine and helped out a bit more before coming back where we all went out to dinner. Emily's mother treated us all again. After dinner we went to Vincent's new place. Busy day.
