The Friday Five: Irrits Edition

 

Welcome to The Friday Five: Irrits Edition!  It’s the one where we discuss whatever is giving us the irrits, so feel free to join in the conversation in the comments section below.  In the meantime, here’s what’s been giving me the irrits this week!  Enjoy 🙂

 

 

 

 

These two from The Block.  If you watch the show, you’ll know why they’re giving me the irrits!   They’re just so rude.  But a great way to show Sophie (who loves the show) how NOT to behave when she grows up.  

 

The Queen and her Gastro Bug.  Long time readers will know that I’m what can only be described as a Hardcore Royalist but seriously, when the Queen’s Gastro Bug invaded my stomach this week I was not a happy pre-paris traveller.  Needless to say, I’ve been living on dry crackers and frosty fruits this week in an effort to be 100% healthy for the big trip.  The house is a mess and the laundry hasn’t been done in days, but I’m on the mend and I think we can all agree that’s The Main Thing!

 

The Rain.  I don’t know about you, but if this non-stop Brisbane rain doesn’t stop soon, I’m going to either a) buy a lawn mowing business (cos once that rain stops those clever peeps will be bazillionaires) or b) build an Ark.  Probably best to stick with option a, given that I don’t really love animals and I think only taking people with me who love shopping, champagne and chocolate would probably be frowned upon by Jesus and His Possy.

 

Hangovers.  Or possible Liver Poisoning.  Call them what you will, they’re not great.  Mine was so bad after my recent 40th birthday that I haven’t touched any booze since. I know.  I’m greatly concerned for the wine industry too.  

 

The Country Road Sale.  It was yesterday and I was so sick (see #2), I couldn’t get there.  In fact, I couldn’t even make it to the online sale either!.  But in a strange turn of events, today a voucher turned up from Myer to thank me for my loyalty AND I’m feeling better, so if you need me I’ll be at my local Westfield.  Again.  Because everyone needs a hobby!

 

PS: Thanks so much to Dawn, Michele, Tanya, Sally-Anne, Lis, Eloise & Mandy for your awesome Friday Five suggestions over on facebook yesterday! They inspired me to belt this one out.  Hope you like 🙂
