RE: You can never have enough... - Oh_hunnihunni - 06-09-2025 My Triumph was candy apple red, himself bought it after I told him an E type Jaq would be worth getting a driving licence for... Didn't work, I still hated driving a car. But two wheels? Very different story.... It was fun though, that sports car. Except for the need to have it tuned every few months, expensive fun... RE: You can never have enough... - kazza - 06-09-2025 Wet and miserable day in the South Waikato today. Need to venture out later to get groceries as the fridge is rather bare. That was a good score at the warehouse popeye, my daaughter got a pair of jeans there the other day for the princely sum of $1.97. Pleased the furry one is doing well KM, the things we do for our furry friends. Currently I'm knitting mice and balls to take to the SPCA for their kitties, Taupo branch put out a call for some on FB and as we are going to Taupo next Sunday for a couple of days, I'll drop them off then. Have a good day ladies. RE: You can never have enough... - Oh_hunnihunni - 06-09-2025 I got a couple of my cats from the Taupo spca back in the day, so love seeing them get support. They were great cats too...

Didn't work, I still hated driving a car. But two wheels? Very different story.... The eldest had a Triumph 1968 at one point & I came home one day to find that he'd brought it into his bedroom (No clue how) & was about to take it to pieces. Until I mentioned how lovely it would look, painted pink. With one or two purple pansies... It went outside again fairly quickly. ![]() ![]() RE: You can never have enough... - popeye333 - 06-09-2025 I turned down a MGBGT when I was about 17.. Why? it was a convertible and Purple. In one way I wish I had got it tho cos MrP could have painted it for me. I had a Ford Angliar that was exactly 6 months older than I was , at the time. Only one pair of pants didnt fit, they were too big lol.. But I looked at the prices, I got $305 for of pants for $39-76... I reckon they will keep me happy for a good long time.. The Jeans I will shorten as I begin to wear them. they are slightly the wide leg ones, but hopefully shortening to fit this Shrinking in height woman they will look ok.. I can run the seams in if I dont like them anyway. The two dresses fit nicely too.. I took out all my heavy winter clothes and hung them on the clothing rack I've had for years and only used a couple of times at markets, and moved that into the spare room. Including the thicker scarves. Left the light ones Just in case. I didn't need to look for a black cardy, I have two light jackets that were Mums (dis Mum for the newbies) that I forgot I had. So I will get a cardy next year. I wont be looking at clothes now for quite a while. Cos once my surgery is done I will have plenty of sizes to shrink down into too. But I have room to move the clothes now to see what I have. Had to wash a part of my red and white blanket, herself Madam puked on it.. Thankfully it only hit two squares, had to be on the white tho. So I spot washed and have it hanging over the machine into the tub. It was fresh so easy enough to get out. Games now RE: You can never have enough... - Oh_hunnihunni - 06-09-2025 I have only ever liked two cars... a neighbours E type, and the little 60s Fiat bubble car we had in Taupo in the 70s. It was a honey of a car that one... RE: You can never have enough... - GJW - 06-09-2025 KM, Great idea re the spring onions, I use a lot so I chop them up and freeze them, then throw the bottom bits away, even with my total lack of gardening skills, I could manage that, good news about the furry one. kazaa I used to buy those little mice from cat shows, I used to think how patient someone was to do them, when I got them home I would put them in a zip lock bag with dried catnip, after a couple of weeks the cat got one, they went crazy with them Popeye Great score with your clothes. Many years ago a boss of mine had a british racing green MG, I loved it, he was 6ft 8ins, it was amazing watching him fold himself into it My first car was a 850cc powder blue mini, I loved that car. OHH It must be the season for splotchy bed covers, Iast week I put one on the spare bed, the animals promptly jumped on the bed and spent the afternoon on the clean cover. I love the colours of yours. Busy couple of days, yesterday the pet food order arrived, 60kgs to be bagged up, and put in the freezer, the freezer had to be cleaned as well. Will pickup the rest from a supplier in Tuakau in a couple of weeks. Did the washing and the wire snapped in the line, I do not know how many times I have replaced it, they do not last. This morning made a dozen meat pasties and a batch of gingernuts, lucky brother got half a dozen. The SIL wanted some help with her phone, all sorted but it took a couple of hours. Came home lit the fire, all the animals think it is for them, then sat down for a well earned cuppa, or at least I thought it was well earned. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I must remember next time I head to Pukekohe to pop over to Tuakau, their antique's secondhand shop may just have a beater.. While I like Hunnie's duvet its the Amish Quilt on the foot of the bed that I love. RE: You can never have enough... - kiwimade64 - 06-09-2025 lol GJW, I also had a powder blue mini and omg I loved that car! Went like a rocket and hardly needed any repairs. And the boot held a crate ![]() It's cold here at Hinuera too. Heat pump has been on pretty much all day. The Furry One has discovered one of the neighbour's cats is up a tree. Better go bring him in so the cat can escape. RE: You can never have enough... - GJW - 06-09-2025 Popeye, You have to ride in an old one, the new ones, in my eyes, are not mini,s. I am I Mangere Bridge, but have been getting food from Tuakau since the owners have been there, they were in Avondale prior to Tuakau, apparently the building was terrible when they took over, it has to be human food standard as they export. KM I got my license in that car, had done the written and passed, then you had to book to do the practical, we are talking over sixty years ago, to my horror I could not sit it until the New year, NZ closed down for nearly four weeks at Xmas back then. You would have thought someone had died, I was beside myself, we had already decided we were doing a road trip up north in the new car, went to work and told my boss, he said no worries I will get the local cop I. And it will be sorted. You can take the morry to sit it in. I worked at a winery, the Morrie minor was used to drive up and down the vines, beer crate for a passenger seat, it would. not have been warranted, license day arrives and I think blow this I will take my license in the mini, drive it to work, said officeer turns up and says where is the Morrie, I answer we are going in the Mini, he says who owns it, me, I do, him, how did it get here, me I drove it, as the words came out of my mouth I realized what that meant, needless to say I passed and we had a great time in Northland |
