I'm trying to do something with Private Health Insurance so I don't have to pay as much tax come tax time and it's really confusing.

There are so many options out there and while I could use iSelect (hey I listen to the commercials!!!) I'd still rather go with a company I've at least heard of before.

but I'm looking at their websites and it's so confusing! I don't know what it is I want exactly and while sure it's mostly for tax purposes I still want it to be benefical for me, so I'm looking at the extras like chiropractic and dental and gym memberships and then there's waiting periods and how do I know if I have a pre-existing condition?

IT'S MADNESS!

Does anyone (here in Australia) have private health insurance and can recommend a company?

It's raining. I don't have my umbrella and my car is parked a 15 minute walk from here.

I think someone is going to get very wet when they go home.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

ginamak picked these 6 for me.


This is my fav icon ever I think. The art is done by jigglykat.I have a soft spot for the peanuts cartoons and the thought of Ten on top of the TARDIS writing like Snoopy is so amusing to me.


This icon is for my more contemplative posts (of which I think there are NONE!!). There is nothing I like more for thinking than staring at the sand on the coast line. It's soothing and lets me think more clearly.


This is actually from Sense and Sensibility but I love the idea of Snape and House - two very irritable characters getting together and snarking the world.


This is my happy icon. Just the look on CE's face. It's just so, it makes me smile everytime I see it.


*cough* This is actually me on my bike. It's my baby - Suzuki SV650 that I've had for just over 2 years now. I love riding my bike.


I love Top Gear. I know nothing about cars and I continue to know nothing about cars but I love the 3 presenters and the interactions they have and I love the Stig. I like not knowing who he is and I never want to know who he is.

Hee! That was fun!

I've somehow managed to throw my neck out or something. It is so stiff I can barely move it and I'm definitely having trouble doing my head check when changing traffic lanes :\

Going to see Transformers 2 tonight. I've heard some really bad things about it but I'm hoping to still enjoy it.

Nick and I mainlined the first season of the Sarah Connor Chronicles over the weekend. I really liked it. Can't wait to see the second season. It was cancelled at the end of the second season wasn't it?


Someone had a bit of a spac attack that I let one person enter writerinatardis a week late. Said that they can't trust the proccess because I have no integrity 0_0 so me asking all the particpants if they minded that someone enter late and lose their skip (and giving the people who did enter and particpate in time an extra skip) somehow makes the process bad. I honestly thought it was the doing the best for everyone.

Guess you just can't please everyone.

I think the biggest thing for me with hearing about the death of Michael Jackson is that he is the same age as my parents. It brings their mortality just that little bit closer to home.

RIP MJ. I hope you finally find the peace you've been looking for.

It's raining quite heavily here which usually I really enjoy but it means I can't go running. I might need to find a gym that has temporary or casual membership or something so I can use a treadmill. and I was just about to finish my Week 3 too *sigh*



Was quite the domestic goddess this weekend. I finally put together the shelve kit I bought from Ikea about a year ago and I borrowed dad's power drill so I could attach the backing bracket abd I also put up the kitchen blind so we have a bit more privacy now!



Am working very hard on two new web sites at the moment. I have one that I'm speaking to the owner tonight and while I've done a prelimary site I'm really not happy with it so I might start again.



Completely loving the xbox. Nick is slowly getting me to play some shooting games so we played Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for about 8 hours on Saturday night. I'm terrible but I'm having fun. I'm also really addicted to Shrek the Game as well even if the camera angles really suck! I'm also slowly making my way through Lord of the Rings: Conquest which is awesome but making me want to watch all the movies again!

Wow. There are 28 people registered for this round of writerinatardis (that is 52 more than the first round - I fail at counting). I hope they all submit a fic for the first challenge.

Does anyone know if it is possible to view the posts you have posted for particular filter groups?

For example if I have a group called 'Real People' can I see easily all the posts that have that group as the security level?


Never mind I found it - if anybody is interested in how to do it you put the following URL in:

exampleusername.livejournal.com/security/group:groupname

where username is your LJ name and groupname is the custom group you have created.

Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you...

*Waits for the sounds of crickets*

Um the writerinatardis registrations close today. I guess I better think of the first prompt right?

There is nothing that makes me more disappointed then being told by someone that they will be at my house at 8am on a bloody Sunday to mow the lawn and then not turning up.

I'm mean, COME ON! I've given up my sleep in for this, the least you could do is TURN UP.

grrrrrrrrr.

edited 9.30am Hallelujah he finally turns up!

I'm bored and therefore I do this which every man and his dog had done.

( I always did follow everyone else )

The sign ups for this round of writerinatardis are a bit light - only 11 people have signed so far.

It might be a very short round.

Here's my picture meme post, if you want to request something.

auntyk and audrich wanted to see my doggies.
( These are my doggies )

imaginary_iby wanted to see my favourite corner, which is purely my favourite only because it's where I sit to catch up on LJ and read fanfic :)
( so here is that corner )

eretria asked to see out side my kitchen window and living room window
( my windows desperately need a clean! )

Back here I put out a post asking for things to take photos of. I only go 1 response so hopefully I can put that up tonight.

If anyone else would like to see anything in my life (within reason!) go ahead and request it and I'll do my best! :D

It's going to be one of those days where I'm all just blah all over the place.

I'm blaming the weather. It's raining again which I wouldn't mind if I could be at home to enjoy it, instead of being stuck here at work with wet jeans :\

Although on the plus side - the painters are at home and painting the kitchen which will look all sparkly good and new!!!

On the negative side though - I haven't gone running at all this week mostly due to me being unable to wake in the morning and then it raining.

blah I say. Just blah.
