1 - Fix the en suite tap... 2nd last day of work, and I've had to stay home to try and fix it... and the hardware store sold me the wrong type of tap. Gah!

2 - Told you the other day, won't repeat it here :)

3 - Banana (duh!)

4 - When the nagging gets too much (so every 2-3 months).

5 - Firefly.

Rodeo- Jigging your second last day! Hope you get it fixed.

1. A short term goal - get some photos dealt with today.

2. A long term goal - get some blogging of my own done. OK, maybe that's a short term goal, or at least an on-going one. Long term would be finish my Dip of Accounting and even longer term would be own a house.

3. Smoothie flavour of choice - if we're talking fruit then banana, mango and maybe a hint of strawberry (not into strawberry flavouring but real ones are fine). No pineapple. :-)

Actually, one of my favourite cafes does wonderful berry, banana and choc-banana and choc-berry ones.

4. How frequently do you get a haircut? About every 6 - 8 weeks when I have short hair and maybe up to half a year when I have long hair.

5. A TV show you own on DVD - Two 4-episode DVDs of The Goodies. All the others are movies.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Al- I like Jamie At Home, I own it too. I have coveting issues with his massive vegetable garden and outdoor pizza oven thing though.

Pedro- I'm glad the shaping bay is in 'short term'. Gotta get on to that one before the little fella comes on the scene..

Laetitia- Ahh, the Goodies. Good stuff.

Gary Ware said...

1. Mop the floor, then watch NFL
2. Mop the floor more often.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Wendy-All the best for today's goal

Kim- I'd read a book you wrote, for sure

Gary- I have the opposite problem. I like having my hair really short, but my wife and kids want me to grow long curly doofus hair. Last time I cut it, my daughter was crying, saying 'put it back on'.
