Saturday 30th October - SOS Fundraiser

I went to a fundraiser dinner for "Save Our Strays". A lady called Tracy who runs her own dog shelter, she was also on T.V for "Secret Millionaire" and got a donation from the CEO of Aussiebum.

To raise funds they held a silent auction and I was the winning bidder of the below picture which I will eventually give to my Dad as a present.

I put on about 5 bids before I won out at $91. Vanessa reminded me it's for charity but the bargain hunter in me stills wants to buy things at the best possible price. ;-)

Sunday 10 October 2010 - No Markets

I didnt go to the markets today, when I woke up it was raining again.

The weather cleared but I decided it still wasnt worth going as not many stall holders attend if it even looks like rain because they dont want their stock to get wet.

This week I am having withdrawls. I was really looking forward to having a proper weekend where I play tennis Saturday afternoons and markets on Sunday mornings. damm the rain again !!!

I think I will spend the money and go to Aldi to buy a digital camera that's on special.

Sunday 3 October 2010- No Markets

No Markets today due to the wet weather.

I am not having withdrawls. ha ha ha

Day Light Savings also started this morning which I forgot about so now I have lost an hour. It always seems to take me a week to adjust to this time change. I hope it doesnt this year.

This morning instead of going to the markets I went to Baulkham Hills Shopping Centre for a coffee and read the paper then dropped into my brothers house, took his dog "Diesel" for a 45 min walk. Diesel was longing to get out of the backyard.

This long weekend I have to feed the animals as my parents are on holidays oversea's and my brothers family have gone to the Gold Coast. I am feeding a dog, 2 cats and 2 budgies.
