    I have about 30 paintings I need to have finished this weekend and sent out b4 xmas yikes, this week we'll be putting in some new gardens, painting 3 or 4 rooms, cleaning the house and yard til its spotless, painting a motocross mural on my sons wall, making a gingerbread house, doing some crafts with the kids, finishing building my sons huge toybox and building one for my daughter b4 santa comes, cooking and preparing a huge feast for xmas day and probably a few other things I forgot. Leads me to teh question wtf am I doing wasting time in here lol.

    After the christmas madness hubby has a week off, we're hoping to put up a shed and the kids cubby house and I'm going to rebuild my website. No rest for the wicked lol.

    Sounds like my plans, except my beer will be bottled.

    I've set myself a Pepsi challege, a case of beer in a session. Given the fact that I will be drinking in the QLD sun I don't think it will be too hard

    replace engine mounts, repair cat-flange gap due to sunk engine causing rather large thump over any speed hump, re-gas a/c in teh VR

    start fixing up the VT, get her running, fix vac leak, replace little bits here and there. nothing expensive on either car, just time consuming

    Not much.

    Install a headunit + speakers into my dads car, get my car in for a roadworthy check (after christmas tho) and may be buying a mini project BMW - If I buy it it will be to do it up a little bit - IE get a roadworthy for it and sell it for a profit. Just clean it up basically and fix up the few thing that are wrong with it, and sell it straight away. I'm 16, so any money is good money! hahA.

    And if it turns out my WB needs more spent on it than is faesible, then I'll probs put that on the market too.........very sadly. I love that ute.

    And I have some damn homework assessment pieces to be done for yr. 11 next year. (bloody already).

    haha, probably not man, as soon as it was driveable i just stopped doing things. and now I'm just too lazy to put cash into it.

    I've had a busted front left guard that chews my tyre - for about a year.

    I'll get there early next year.
