+ I nearly hit a kangaroo on the way home tonight.  :)
Close call! Glad you didn't...I think I read somewhere in the manual that i30's perform better without the kangaroo carcass modification

I can verify that they DO NOT run at all well,with the Kangaroo Carcass Mod  :fum:

A few weeks ago I booked for a week on the Sunshine Coast in a nice apartment by the sea. Unfortunately  I ended up in hospital with pneumonia so had to cancel . Re booked at the time for the 20/08/14 hoping I would be ok by then. Headed off for a nice break and a bit of convalescing . Ended up with one years rain in the week we were there , then the filling in my tooth fell out. On my return home I visited  the dentist I was informed that another tooth was cracked and when that filling was removed the whole tooth collapsed, I then had to have a pin inserted and a tooth reformed. I decided to have my teeth cleaned while I was there , that took ten minutes at a cost of $110 = $11 a minute. In all my dental treatment was $ 700. Anyway after all the discussion in an earlier post about Dash Cams and obtaining one, that is now going to have to wait until the pain of going to the dentist has subsided ( pain in my wallet that is ) :blubber: :blubber: On the bright side it was beautiful weather while I was in Hospital, you have to laugh don't you. :rofl:

+ I am cured of my flu! No more sore throat for meeeee :D
- I did my budget and until we get our increases things are going to be very tight for me. No more goodies for the i30 until next year :(
- My girlfriend seems to have caught my flu (oops), and my parents have it as well, although I wasn't near them so they cannot blame it on me :lol:
- My phone decided I do not need contacts and deleted all this years' contacts and left me with useless contacts that only have names and birthdays, possibly drawn from when I still had Facebook
+ I am weeding through said contact list and deleting people I don't need anymore, so my Whatsapp list is slimming down nicely
- I cannot sleep due to the fact that I am stressing about those contacts that I lost. Sadly most were work related so I am going to have to sift through my mails and find the ones I need and re-add them
+ Our weather has been improving, from a maximum temp of 13*C on Sunday to a max of 30*C that we had today
+ Fuel price is coming down tomorrow by around 5%, which should bring food prices down a tad
+ I have this awesome forum to keep me company through my insomnia :p

Is it an iphone. I have a friend this happened to and Apple talked him through retrieving them on the phone. Actually, he may have gone in to see them. I can't be sure about that now.

It was only until I read the 'mummy' comments that I realised what that was :rofl: I clearly cannot do without my morning coffee! But no, thankfully not - I am not ready for fatherhood just yet

@Surferdude, it is a Moto G, running Android 4.4.4. It seems that when I changed my Google password around January of this year the contacts sync stopped working and I never bothered to check, so my own stupidity really

You sure do travel a lot! :) enjoy, you fly out just after my birthday

I do work a lot, so I need some rest for sure and change of environment

+ I am an owner of my first coffeemachine  :happydance:, no more dances with settings - switch it on, push a button and a cup of coffee is ready, - no need to mess with wastes after the process.

No, there is a cavity for coffee beans with integrated grinder, so the machine, after a button is pushed, grinds the coffee beans, makes a tablet of it, brews the coffee and disposes of tablet into a special box inside, which is meant for 14 used tablets.
