Dont trust 10yr olds with your car keys!
After our day of shopping yesterday Sir Dreamsalot & myself went out to my Mums house. After the greetings & small talk Sir Dreamsalot asked if he could get his new cricket gear out of my car to show Nan. No probs give him the keys (he is 10 totally capable of unlocking & relocking car) Off he goes & gets his gear shows Nan. More small talk ensues & then I say well we should head for home got all the fruit & vege in the car & want to check on the cats to make sure Koda has used the litter tray & not the lounge again!!
This is where it went pear shaped, dug in my bag……..hmm wheres my keys oh thats right Brayden had them.
Me “Brayden where did you put my keys when you got your cricket gear out”???
He
“Ummm I dont know”
we all look on the benches, empty my bag check the rubbish bin with no luck
Me “You didnt put them in the boot while you were getting your stuff out did you & then………….”
He
“ummmm yes I think I did “

Me “crap crap crap Mum stop laughing!!!!”
“OK when we bought the car we got roadside assist I will ring RAC & see what they say”
Phone call ensues & RAC have nothing about us on their system & then she says perhaps you got Mitsubishi roadside assist. YES that was it & I am pretty sure there is a sticker on my windscreen. Go check phew yep & there is the 1300 #. Another phone call & these guys know who I am & will send out a service technician within the hour to help!!!! 
SMS hubby & give him the low down on whats happening & why I may not be home when he gets home! Refrain from throttling DS 
Service man came…………..RAC service man
made comment that when I rang RAC they had no idea who I was & he said yeah all the car companys brand name their roadside assist but its still RAC who come out!
He successfully breaks into my car promptly setting off my very loud car alarm much to the dismay of Mums cat! Then I had to get into the boot via the fold down section in the middle of the back seat its not very wide, my boot is jam packed with shopping & I know the keys will be at the front of the boot
Proceed to drag my shopping into the back seat via the hole & 2 chairs I had in there still from football
Finally I can see the glint of my keys but cant reach them was going to get DS & shove him through the hole but the RAC bloke got a bit of wire instead! Retrieved my keys & off he went. Collected DS said by to Mum & headed home. When we hit town I stopped to check the mail box (at post office no mail delivery here) DS asked if he could do it. NO WAY dont trust you with my keys anymore!!!

How to drive your daughter mad in 1 phone call..
OH man after Dad the other week & Ebay saga…………..its still on going too!!
I had Mum ring me yesterday convo goes:
Me Hi Mum whats happening
Mum Hi………..ummm I tried something & it didnt work
Me hmmm you were at the computer werent you 
Mum well yes how’d you know??
Me
I just do! Ok what did you do?
Mum well I deleted a photo & I want it back, so I went to my recycle bin {insert a
look from me that she knows what/where this is} found the photo, clicked on it & it had some options one was restore so I clicked that & IT DISAPPEARED!!!!
Me……….ummm disappeared from where?
Mum the recycle bin!!!
Me
muttering FFS under breath, well of course it bloody did you restored it…………
Mum but to where??
Me well back to where it was when you deleted it, was that in ‘my pictures’
Mum, umm I think so hang on cue mouse clicking………..OHHHH look theres my photo!!!
Me………pondering is 10am toooo early for a drink

Fathers, computers & Ebay dont mix!!
My Dad has never wanted to learn computers but in the last 12months or so has been learning how to look at emails & send them.
Well now he has discovered Ebay! Actually he has mentioned it before but Mum always says we cant buy anything we dont have a credit card & gives me the
look saying dont you saying a f^&$ing word Tina
Well he has since found out thanks to blokes at work you dont need a CC to buy from Ebay

OMG lastnight he rang & I want you to buy me this this & this how does it work I was trying to explain to him but he wasnt listening as he was looking at Ebay
anyway I got the bids on the things he wants & one only had like 15mins to go so had to stay on the phone with him as it ended I actually got him pressing F5 for refresh……….yes Dad you only need to press it once, give it time to friggin load already! Sheesh. So now I have 6 items *I* am bidding on for him, 2 we have won already so I told him he needs to go to the bank & put money into my account so I can pay for these items (he has LOTS more spending money than I do!! )
So far this morning I have had 3 calls, 1 to check to see if he is still winning the other auctions, 1 to ask what does buy it now mean ? cool buy this this & this then please. Then another to let me know when he is home next I have to go sign him up to Ebay & show him how it works
Oh man I can feel the pain already! This is the man that gave me my very first driving lesson when I was 13 by pulling the car over to the side of the road telling me to get behind the wheel & drive. When I asked him how to start the car he told me to turn the key so I did then he went off coz it was a manual & I didnt have the clutch in, so we jumped/skipped & stalled. He never told me I needed the clutch & I ended up getting out of car telling him to stick his driving lessons & walked home
. Can I return the favour by now saying just register & bid 
Oh crap here goes the phone again
Part of lastnights convo to give you an idea:
Me Ok your bid is on & yes you are the winner so far @ $25
Dad but my page still says $22
me yes you need to refresh the page if you press…………….
Dad Well I dunno how to do that what do I do
Me Shut up & listen I will tell you
Ok see you have buttons F1 F2 etc on the key board
Dad no I dunno about these things
Me LOOK at the friggin keyboard, OK are you looking, good see the buttons across the top F1 F2 etc………yes ok press F5
Dad how many times what am I pressing???
Me Stop laughing Bob or you will cop it too FFS Dad press F5 ONCE
Dad ohh look the top bid is $25 is that mine?

I-Spy with my little eye
Hello Everyone,
Things have been busy here in the Fairy Den. Lots of sewing & embroidering happening which means new products for you!!
First up I have redesigned our Burp Cloths, they are still the same great shape & size BUT they are now more absorbent having 3 layers to them now & the new design looks soooooo groovy. You will be the hippest Mum out there! Even better I have put them on special for the next week
Secondly I have released our NEW I-Spy bags. What’s an I-Spy bag you say?
Well an I-Spy Bag is a fun, fleece bean bag with a see-through window. Each bag is filled with non-toxic polypropylene pellets, unlike others that use rodent attracting rice or wheat, in which 25 assorted goodies are hidden inside. Then kids manipulate the bag moving the pellets to find the items. These are discounted by $5 for a limited new release special time

Lastly don’t forget to enter our April competition where you can win your very own Stab’Em doll.
Until next time
Your Sewing Fairy

SanPac’s
Hello everyone,
I have a new product that will delight both mothers & daughters a like!
How many times have you dug to the bottom of your handbag or school bag to find the covers on your tampons or sanitary pads have come adrift & they are now sporting bits of fluff, crumbs & anything else that decides to stick to them? These products are pricey enough without having to throw them away unused.
Or have you had your delightful young children find them in your bag at the most inappropraite moment holding them up for everyone to see while asking in their loudest voices MUUUUUUUUM whats this for????
Remember back to school & at some stage of your school life they have fallen out of your bag, or locker right when the coolest bunch of boys in the school walk by!! Oh the embarassment.
This is where our new SanPacs come to the rescue. They are a funky little pouch designed to hold pads, tampons or a combination of both.
With the disaster that has hit our Victorian residents The Sewing Fairy is donating all profits fof salees for the next month from today 12th Feb 2008 until the 12th March 2009 to the Victorian Wildlife Rescue if you would like to make a further donation follow the prompts on their home page.
Your Sewing Fairy
