Fuck You Friday

This week's Fucker Features:

This week has been pretty fucking awesome actually so its been difficult for me to find some Fuck Yous (I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze in a couple).

Anyhoo, the reason why its been so brilliant is that I left my mobile phone at a local pharmacy and by the time I realised it was gone, I just knew someone had swiped it. It doesn't happen often that if you leave your phone somewhere, that you get it back (well not in South Africa anyway).

However, the following day I got wind that the guy from the pharmacy had been phoning people on my contact list trying to get hold of me. He had kept my phone and wanted to return it to me. Yip, my brand spanking new phone was safe! I went to collect it and I couldn't have show the dude more gratitude...

Fuck you to the wee baw-bag bacteria that invaded my larynx causing me to sound like a complete eejit for most of the fuckin week. Yeah, I lost my voice so I couldn't even yell at my kids! It was frustrating and exhausting. Each word I uttered took so much energy and I still sounded like a loony tweenie shitter who voice is in the process of breaking.
Fuck you to the nimbus clouds that floated in and mocked us. We're all dyin' for the rain. The wind blew a gale and we heard a rumble or two but absa lootly FUCK ALL. We need the rain demmit, its been a long dry winter. Just fucking rain already!

Enjoy safe drinking water with Cobra filtration system

Although South Africa’s tap water is declared “safe” to drink, harmful sediments can slip through and may cause health problems over time.

Cobra Watertech – South Africa’s leader in plumbing technology – has developed the revolutionary Aqua-Salus domestic filtration system that removes chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria and other impurities.

The Aqua Salus range forms part of Cobra’s Water Saving Collection, designed to offer economical water usage in light of its going-green commitment.

“The system offers a complete solution which is applicable to domestic households, as the technology encompasses the water supply from ingress to drainage,” says Prisca Mashanda Cobra’s Marketing Manager.

Cobra is committed to implementing strategic water and energy-saving initiatives to reduce the ecological impact of its operations. A high-level team of experts continually monitor and develop cleaner, more efficient manufacturing methods. They research and develop state-of-the-art water systems, products and accessories designed to offer economical water usage and maximum energy-saving benefits.

The Aqua Salus filtration system includes a point of use drinking water three-stage filter WM-POU-FILTER, tap WM-215-15, WM-970 mixer and a point of entry course filter WM-POE-FILTER. It is an ultra-efficient system which can be DIY-installed, requires occasional backwashing as well as filter servicing at six-monthly intervals.

Santa Shoebox Project is an inspiring community initiative, that collects uniquely personalised Christmas gifts for socially disadvantaged youth. Equally, the project is about parents teaching their own children the joy of giving.

A gift to be shared with a child from a distinctly vulnerable social background, who may never before have received a Christmas gift. The project is unique in that the donor knows the name, age, gender and residence of the child the gift is intended for.

The project started in Cape Town in 2006 spearheaded by the founder of Kidz2Kidz, Dee Boehner. In 2007 Irene’ Pieters was appointed national co-ordinator and in 2008 the Santa Shoebox Project joined forces with a similar organization from Somerset West.

Since then, the project has grown in leaps and bounds and the numbers have grown from 180 Santa Shoeboxes in 2006, to 2000 boxes in 2007, 8000 in 2008 to 16000 in 2009, exceeding the target by 30% - 50% year on year. In 2009 the Santa Shoebox Project reached into all corners of South Africa and in 2010 also into Namibia and Botswana. Each country supporting their own children.

The management is run entirely by volunteers. Kind hearted people who give their time, effort and expertise without being remunerated for it. Satellite projects have sprung up not only in the big cities but include many small country towns as well. All run by volunteers taking the responsibility of acting as co-ordinators for their areas.

How can you help?

The prosperity and success of this project is dependent solely on its volunteers. You can choose between being a volunteer or a co-ordinator of a satellite project in your area.

If you would like to volunteer some of your time and expertise please mosey on over to their website and fill your details in.

Help them reach their target of collecting 26 000 boxes this year. I know I will.

Keeps Me From Killing Award was given to me by Nanny @ Naughty Mommy Reviews a while ago.

This award is given to blogs that keep your attention for more than a couple of visits and for more than five minutes and keep you coming back for more, while keeping insane arses like myself glued to the computer otherwise preventing mass disorder and chaos!

By excepting this award I except the responsibility of spreading the killing spree. Let it begin....

I have a T-shirt that reads:

"What happens in the tent stays in the tent" and has a picture of a wee tent with love hearts floating out of the tent zip.

I was wearing it the other day and Megan (my 7 year old wee lassie) spells out all the words and reads the T-shirt.

I see her pause and ponder.

I asked her "Megan, what do you think happens in the tent that needs to stay in the tent?"

She smiled, hugs my legs and looks up at me grinning and says "When mum's and dad's are giving each other luuurve" and proceeds to give the most adorable pink blush and single shoulder shrug.

Spot on, Megan, spot on!

Who knew a 7 year old knew these things?

How dead cute is she?

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his SweatShirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?''It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?'He yelled back, ' Liverpool .'And they say blondes are dumb...

A couple are lying in bed. The man says,'I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world.'The woman replies, 'I'll miss you...

'It's just too hot to wear clothes today,' Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, 'honey, what do you think the neighbours would think if I mowed the lawn like this?''Probably that I married you for your money,' she replied.

The androgynous look has always been quite a feature in the Fashion industry.

Boys who look like girls; girls who look like boys But the latest modelling star to come out of Brazil is not like the others.

It's Lea T.

Yes, she's had her fair share of high-profile fashion campaigns including Givenchy, Vanity Fair and she's also lately posed nude in French Vogue with one hand cupped over her crotch. But the startlingly beautiful 28 year old brunette with chiselled cheekbones and svelte figure, was actually born (and still is) a man.

“One night Tisci encouraged me to wear pumps to a party,” she recalled in French Vogue. “We went shopping for ‘drag queen’ shoes and we bleached my eyebrows. It was a revelation.”

Leandro Cerezo, the son of soccer star Toninho Cerezo is planning to have a full sex change this year.

You wanna look at my What?

I haven't been feeling too great since Friday.

You know, the usual cold and flu symptoms: sore throat, headache, tight chest, phlegm, post-nasal drip, etc. Oh I know, it all sounds soooo sexy.

Yesterday my voice started croaking and when I woke up this morning, it was completely muted with the occassional froggie squeak.

I feel I have to shout just to get the smallest of whispers out and it takes a lot of energy.

I'm fucking exhausted and I can't shout at the kids, what a bummer!

Laryngitis sucks!

Levi's finally got it right!

They have designed jeans not just for the anorexic stick insect super models but for the curvier figure. The REAL woman.

The Levi’s Curve ID jeans are designed to fit the curves of a woman’s body. They focus on shape and proportion, rather than just size. After being measured at the waist and hips, a woman is defined as either:

Slight Curve: for the woman whose jeans usually fit in the hips and thighs but are too tight in the waist

Demi Curve: for the woman whose jeans usually fit in the waist, but don’t flatter the figure

Bold Curve: for the woman whose jeans usually fit in the hips and thighs, but gap in the back.
