Surfing Mums  and some surfing History about me Salty Surfing Mums Group : Gold Coast QLD- Coolangatta Surfing Mums I also used to go to the Alley Surfing Mums. Time surfed: I started surfing when I was 15 year old on a standup board. I grew up at Bondi Beach a place with the worst surf and  the biggest crowd. In summer you can't even find a place to put your towel. I did all my schooling there. I was always at the beach body surfing and using a surf mat then a boogie board. I was scared that the fiberglass board would hit me that's why I didn't start till I was 15. There were no surf school back then so I learned to stand on my knees first that took 6 months and then stand up another 6 months. I remember catching the whitewash and just dreaming about being able to go out the back and blend in not look like a kook. That's one of the reasons I coached surfing for years because you can learn to stand in 1 hour. Back then there were hardly any girls that surfed a

Choice magazine saying Aldi is still the cheapest supermarket I disagree.

GOLD COAST Australia's cheapest supermarket.   Coles wins! Coles beats Aldi!!!!!  Here's a survey by choice magazine saying that  ALDI Australia  is still the cheapest. I disagree the Aldi effect has certainly come into play at my local Coles. I no longer have to shop at Aldi at all. Before I would go there every second week.Coles can replace their cheap products with Coles brand same price and great quality. Also I get very friendly service & help with packing my groceries.  Aldi the checkout operators are timed with a push through rate. HOW fast they can scan the items. They just go so fast to get a good statistical rate and maybe even a pay rise. Forget customer service and if your groceries end up on the floor.  Coles wins for the next few months! Thanks Coles supermarkets.  Coles . When Choice have done the survey they have used different branded products. They did not use Coles branded products where the prices are now the same as Aldi.  Coles cans of

HOME  An out there film if there ever was one. This film is so different from any other kids film. Its Brilliant! I laughed lots. I cried too, yes, I admit I cried in an animated film. Go see it and tell everyone you know, to see it. This film will appeal to children and adults not many films can really have this broad audience. The main actress Tip real name Gratuita. This means free in spanish. She is voiced by Rihanna and My Mom is voiced by Jennifer Lopez. At last stars of the film are not the typical blonde princess type. Tip the girl has a Mom who is American and the dad is from Barbados.  There are themes of being alone and wanting friends. Also of loss and then finding your mom again. In the film O the alien who is a Boov (name of alien species) is unique and special, but in the film they want to arrest him for making mistakes all the time and being different. Mistakes are part of life, Being different is what makes you YOU! They come to the realization that thin

Meals for quick food on a budget to feed  a Family of 4.  Shopping tips and products you  need to make the meals Taco Kit: when you cook the mince chicken or beef, put the two satchels in the meat the powered spice, water and the salsa this give a great more authentic flavour. I like the Aldi Taco kit the best is better value you get 15 tacos and the sauce is milder for kids. El Toro Taco kit from Aldi is the best value, you get 15 tacos in the kit and the flavour is mild with is great for kids. It costs $4.00.au Stirfry various kinds : chicken mince with thin white noodles,  bean noodle vermicelli  in Asian section from Coles or Woolies. Onion garlic mince- add soy sauce fish sauce and smoked paprika for colour and flavour. Throw in some frozen veges. Done.   chicken breast stir fry : chop 2 chicken breasts place in a bowl.

Brilliant, Finland is Brilliant Teach by Topic not subject!!!! No more you are going to Maths then science then English.  This is relevant to mathematics.  I remember high school maths. Sin Cos and Tan Triangles, I was like whats the point,  If it was applied to the study of Ancient Egypt and measuring of the size of the pyramids, so now you have Geography, ancient history and maths, Add in something about the curse of the pharaohs, curse believed to be cast on any person who disturbs the mummy of an Ancient Egyptian person, especially a pharaoh. King Tuts grave- and you add in science with the study of bacteria or spores that allegedly killed the grave diggers. How interesting would the class be! I would want to go back to high school. Or you could study the 9/11 twin towers disaster in NY. How could an engineer design a building to withstand the hit of an aeroplane, without the whole thing collapsing. So here we have modern history, maths, science, art and into to engineerin
