<p>Been crunching the figures and writing lists, as i love to do =) and have a new part to my plan, still want the block of land but the money isnt looking good so first, when i was looking at this house another house around the corner had also caught my eye but no one had ever called me back, six months later&nbsp;looking at realestate.com.au- guess which house was still for sale!!! =) i called up the real estate just to check if it was a mistake and they had not forgotten to take down the ad, this poor lady was sooo excited someone was interested in the place and wanted to book me in for a viewing today- i had called on friday! so i may be in with a chance to knock the price down a bit, and its already been rented out for $262 a week thats without seeing the inside so there may be a chance for improvements and more rental income in the future.</p>
<p>trying out a few brokers to see who can do the best for what, its become alot harder in the last few months tho =(</p>
<p>so il try to do this place up and get it valued next week and try my luck!</p>

			<title>Naughty Mick!</title>
			<author>MJB</author>
			<description>Im going to have a sook about a few bad habits Mick has:
1) Mick hogging the bed! Usually i have to compete with the dog and Mick, Mick has half the bed, the dog has the quarter where my feet are supposed to go and poor me gets a quarter curled up in the fetal position or squishing my legs ...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im going to have a sook about a few bad habits Mick has:</p>
<p>1) Mick hogging the bed! Usually i have to compete with the dog and Mick, Mick has half the bed, the dog has the quarter where my feet are supposed to go and poor me gets a quarter curled up in the fetal position or squishing my legs through, under or over the dog to stretch out! So the dog decided to sleep out on the patio last night because its getting hotter YAY me thinks i get half the bed tonight!....</p>
<p>NO</p>
<p>Mick falls asleep and decides to lay diagonally! ARRGH! here i am trying to poke him in the calf with my foot to try and move his massive leg thats twice the size of one of my legs- yes it didnt make one iotta of a difference! Then we had a mumbled conversation Mick was asleep but decided to start talking couldn't really make much out, there was a few &quot;love you&quot; in there awww! so i started to mumble back at him and we had a lovely conversation at 2am in the morning hehe I <img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/heart.gif"/>&nbsp;Mick- even tho he hogs the bed!</p>
<p>2) Ever since he's moved back in to the family home and has the tv and his pc in his room, he's gotten into this bad habit of leaving them on and falling asleep! And as soon as i move towards them to turn them off he's up telling me he's going to use them!!! He has some kind of freak rader in his head and it drives me NUTS, i try to get to sleep but the energy waves or whatever comes out of the electronic stuff keeps me up and i have a awful nights sleep and im the walking dead the next morning</p>
<p>3) Since moving back to family home, with the kitchen right round the corner from his bedroom he's developed another bad habit- waking up at odd hours half awake to find food to eat, it would be fine if he kept it to himself but he decides its caring to start shoving food into my mouth at crazy hours of the night and morning, and when i get woken up i say crazy things! His mum made cake with orange frosting one time he decided to get some for us, he's standing by myside of the bed asked if i wanted cake i startled out of my sleep and told him &quot;i didnt want lobster, Why is there lobsters in your wardrobe??&quot;</p>
<p>For some reason i saw the light reflecting off the orange frosting thought it looked like a shell so it must have been lobsters??? His wardrobe door was open and he was standing infront of it so i thought there must be more in there HAHA</p>
<p>Iv said other crazy things but i try to forget them!! <img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/tounge_smile.gif"/></p>
<p>Ahhh I feel better to vent! Thanks!</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a bit of fun last night googled &quot;increase your chances of having a girl&quot; and i found some handy hints wether they work or not im sceptical but there's no harm in trying? <img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif"/></p>
<p>there's something called douching- where you wash out the vagina with some sort of mix but it doesnt sound right for me- eww i just want a bit of fun not a lot of work and im definantly not shoving things &quot;up there!&quot; appart from what its designed for...</p>
<p><strong>id love to hear your thoughts!</strong></p>
<p>have intercourse 12hrs after ovulation<br />
have intercourse 3 days before ovulation: so this one's a bit confusing, i think its a win-win if we just as they saying goes &quot;go for it like rabbits&quot; haha!! It seems that&nbsp;the 3 day one is winning out though as it&nbsp;looks like the male sperm&nbsp;are quicker but they&nbsp;exhaust themselves out&nbsp;and die, while the female sperm&nbsp;are slower but live longer- just goes&nbsp;to show female work smarter not harder!!&nbsp;<img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif"/><br />
<br />
Need to have an acidic environment for female sperm to survive but only stay on acid diet for three months and consult doctor beforehand</p>
<p>get PHstrips from chemist to test &quot;the environment&quot; haha it sounds like im a science experiment! <img alt="" src="http://www.minti.com/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/tounge_smile.gif"/><br />
should eat foods high in calcium and magnesium, dairy foods and vegetables. Some foods suggested are yoghurt, milk, eggs, nuts, brown rice, wholemeal bread, spinach, fish and tofu.</p>
<p>chocolate dessert: Im not complaining about this one!! Woo hoo!</p>
<p><br />
Minimise intake of sodium and potassium. Eg. salty foods, tea, coffee, wine, fish fingers, cheese, oranges, and peaches.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
initiate surprise sex in afternoon- haha im going to jump Mick when he leasts expecets it...time for sneaky Mel!!! And he is sooo easy to get in the mood i know just what buttons to push to get what i want!<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Its 20 months and counting!</p>
<p>Will post more later.....</p>]]></content:encoded>

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should&nbsp;be institutionalized.
&nbsp;
&quot;Well,&quot; said the Director, &quot;we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a&nbsp;teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.&quot;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&quot;Oh, I understand,&quot; said the visitor. &quot;A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.&quot;
&nbsp;&quot;No.&quot; said the Director, &quot;A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?&quot;

He said, Will !? What will ? I'm making a list of the people I gonna bite.&amp;quot;</description>

<p><strong>What Melissa Jane Bennett Means:</strong></p>
<p>You master any and all skills easily.</p>
<p>You don't have to work hard for what you want.</p>
<p>You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!</p>
<p>You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.</p>
<p>You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.</p>
<p>At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.</p>
<p>You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.</p>
<p>You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.</p>
<p>Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.</p>
<p>You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.</p>
<p>You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.</p>
<p>You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.</p>
<p>You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.</p>
<p>You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.</p>
<p>You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.</p>
<p>You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.</p>
<p>You have the classic &quot;Type A&quot; personality.</p>
<p>You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.</p>
<p>You never give up, and you will succeed... even&nbsp;if it takes you a hundred tries.</p>
<p>You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.</p>
<p>You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.</p>
<p>You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.</p>
<p>You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.</p>
<p>You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.</p>
<p>You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.</p>
<p>Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.</p>
<p>You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.</p>
<p>You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.</p>
<p>You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.</p>]]></content:encoded>
