Does anyone know where I can get big maps of Australia and the world? I've tried looking on ebay but could only find antique ones, but I'm looking for a new one.  So if anyone knows where I can get one I'd love to hear from you.

This street is filled with westy scumbags I'm sure of it.  There are some boys that are up over 18 I think who live diagonal us and they have taken to kicking a football across the street to each other and for some reason they stand in our driveway.  The problem is that it hits the car and window of the house and I'm afraid of it breaking something.  So David had asked them politely to move down to which he was ignored.  So today I hear this almighty thud on the car and see the boy coming up beside the car to get the ball.

So having had enough I go out there and say look can you move down you just hit the car and I don't want it broken.  He says to me "I've been living here ten years you can't tell me what to f-ing do"  I said "I can when it comes to my property, and if you do break something I will have you charged".  So he then says "shut the f up" so I say, "yes your all mouth when I'm here but when my husband is here you run" so he tells me to shut the f up again, so I say "fine I'll go ring the police now" and stomp off inside and they go racing back to the house.

I'm soooo very annoyed, not only for the disrespect for other people's property, I mean I wonder how they would react if we stood their and kicked a football straight at their parents car (not that we are going to stoop to that level), but the disrespect that he spoke to me with, I know the reason he did was to try and intimidate me, but I refused to back down because i knew if I back down then they are going to keep walking all over me.

But it just makes me want to move, I hate this street.  I don't want to be here anymore.  I am trying to see other than a house why God put us here, but I can't see any other reason than us needing a house.  And I'm trying to remain Christian and I did really well I didn't swear at them, yes i got aggressive, but I didn't try to fight lol that would be a funny sight or swear so I did good.

I have all three boys home today, Shannon because he is puking everywhere (so very gross) and Peter because of a cough, it's hard on poor Samuel because he doesn't understand why he needs to still do his school work when the other two get to lay on the couch and moan lol.

My vegie patch in pots is almost finished, well it's actually more in buckets lol, they were cheaper, only 78 cents from bunnings, and I drilled some holes in the bottom and planted a heap of vegies.

I still have to finish planting the brocoli, I ran out of potting mix, I need two more bags to finish the brocoli and the potatoes.  But other than that I have four tomato plants, a red and green capsicum (not on the same bush), a jalepeno chilli, about eight lettuce, a strawberry plant, six cauliflower, a ton of onions, about six beetroot and six brocoli, and then i'm going to let some potatoes start growing in the cupboard and plant them too.

I was going to do herbs but man they are so expensive.  So just vegies and one fruit plant this year, I so can't wait till they start fruiting yummo.  And i'm being so environmentally friendly too, I'm using my washing machine water to water them every day hehehe, I'm so proud of myself lol.
