Gumtree

I have just discovered gumtree.com and I think I'm in love! For the uninitiated, Gumtree is a free site where you can post items for sale, but you can also just leave messages - for example one lady on their is sitting her beauty exam today and needed someone for her to use as her model for her makeup component of the exam. Ahem - well that would be me thankyou very much! The idea is that it puts people in touch with other people, but I am totally addicted!

So I am off to get my makeup done for free, and then Murray and I are off to the theatre to watch 'The Sapphires', a really cool play set in the Vietnam War where a group of aboriginal singers end up performing for the troops. I haven't been to the theatre for years but we bought a subscription to see a couple of plays this year which I am really looking forward to.

And then after that we are off to the Perth Wildcats basketball game - v Melbourne Tigers - We are currently sitting top of the ladder and are heading towards our first championship in 10 years - so expect to see me in full warpaint soon!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. Murray and I have both taken off Monday from work so we can have an extra long Australia Day weekend (Australia Day is January 26!)
