Half Price Security Shutters

We all like to have a win every now and again and thanks to Half Price Shutters I had one today

I needed two cords replaced in my security shutters and kept putting it off because of the price.

I emailed for 4 quotes from the local Mandurah dealers - which is unusual for me, I usually just ring one thinking there won't be much difference anyway.

Half Price Shutters replied in a matter of minutes and with the best quote
Melissa was very helpful when she rang and I asked for a Seniors discount and got another $20 off a $190.00 job. Phil the technician did a great job.

One replied after  3 days and the quote was more than double Half Price Shutters
Another replied after 7 days and the quote was more than double Half Price Shutters also.
I was gob smacked that there could be so much difference in these quotes.

Life of Pi

Life of Pi the first movie I have seen in 3 D it was terrific I am glad I read the book first. Not for Sienna though. Movie I would rate as 10/10

The Hot Rock Café (The old "Jolly Frog")

I have meaning to try this for a long time - Every time we went we could not get in when it first opened and then I kept forgetting about it. Great location and around the corner from home! 

Thats where the good news ends I am afraid.

Food: A very limited choice and very average

Service: NONE

So I am afraid I would only give it 1/10 and that is for the scenery - the dolphins playing in The Cut which were great to watch and the best part of the day and of course the company - sorry Karen!

Sunday takeaway Lunch Falcon

Sienna was dancing around my bed on Sunday morning and when I asked what she was doing she said "Gangnam Style" I nearly fell out of bed and she can dance, I found this sheep doing the same dance on Face Book she is going to love it!

I promised Sienna chicken and chips and one would think Red Rooster would have some at 1.30pm on a Sunday..NO.went to pop the order in .......................we have sold out of chicken and it will be 10 minutes. I said I would leave it after I picked my mouth up off the ground........but had to wait for at least 5-6 minutes before I could get out of the line-up........so off we go to McDonald's.

I got Sienna a chicken burger and some chips......they seemed miffed I did not know what I wanted to order so I left it up to them - just explained I wanted chicken and chips for the child or monster.......

Out came a squashed burger with the BRIGHT ORANGE CHEESE stuck to it.......................we had Rex the little dog with us and when she would not eat it I tried to feed it to him (he who will eat a shit sandwich) and NO could not come at this lot.

I think they got the chips out of the bin, freezing cold and looking worse for wear..........Rex  turned his nose up at them also when Sienna dropped the packet. This may have been my punishment for rolling the eyes at the 12 year old order taker!!!!!!!

0-10 for Red Rooster and McDonald's they are both a disgrace in my books..

Sienna and her mate Rex

I get so jacked off the businesses in Mandurah never seem to do well, and I am thinking now I know why!

The Cut Mandurah October 2012

 Sienna walking Rex at The Cut Mandurah.

These two are really good pals.
Sienna's saying this week "I am a clever clop"

However

This is what some idiot has done to Wade's memorial boogie board.........burnt it......lovely for his family and friends I am DISGUSTED  and guessing the moron that did this also did the graffiti on all the white walls, it makes me sick these fools ought to get a life and let the rest of us enjoy the beauty of this place without all this crap! Link to Wade's story

5th October 2012 PRONTO'S Mandurah

Kathy and I had a Friday lunch here and my was it GOOD...........no............TERRIFIC
I also went there just a couple of weeks ago for another friends birthday and this applies to both. I had the same food both times and so did my friends.
Oysters to die for and Local whiting cooked to PERFECTION, lots of too.
Both friends had the salmon and raved about it, I am not a salmon person so did not try it
The wine list is fabulous, the staff excellent
10-10 I would highly recommend it.

Trav's birthday lunch at EATON TAVERN 6th October 12

The three of us arrived and it was not very busy so we thought we were in for a great day, after hearing so many good reports about the food. The staff were not at all helpful or friendly. They never brought over the kids menu for Sienna or her colouring in. We decided on a tasting plate and some oysters to start with. That arrived and they never gave us a side plate to eat off until I asked and then only brought two!
The Oysters were the big suckers but I must say fresh and even Trav. tried a couple. The tasting plate was tasty with a couple of dips, some bread sausage, feta and olives. We were chatting and picking away when out she came with our mains, and no where to put them!. We had not finished picking - well we had now thanks to the waitress.! she never said a word just popped the mains down with us making room for the plates!.
Trav and I both had a steak, tomatoes must still be expensive as no sign of any in the salad! The steaks were OK not brilliant.
So I must say even though we had heard such great reviews about Eaton Tavern to me the service was NON existent on a quite day, people had to wait for ages at the bar to get their drink order filled, so all in all not a place I would recommend. It is not cheap pub food so you should expect a pleasant experience.
2 out of 10 for mine! and we will not be going back.

Lunch HIGHWAY HOTEL BUNBURY Sept.2012

I went to lunch with Trav and Sienna and the place we wanted was closed as it was Sunday. I suggested the Highway Hotel, it has been renovated. Good choice as it turned out. The food was terrific although we had to wait a while. They brought out a pack for Sienna that she could keep it had all sorts in it, colouring in, crayons,  ball , puzzles, etc.and they also brought her fish and chips out early (good thinking as kids don't like waiting) the fish was REAL and grilled for her. She loved it and I must say a nice change from the packet crap you usually get with kids meals. Then to top off a good day Trav's and my food was also great and there is more. They had a young girl doing some fabulous FREE face painting on the kids...............

So after the lovely lunch up we went for our turn......she could have picked anything from beautiful butterflies, princess, cats, lions etc...................no she wanted the Buck Tooth Rabbit..........................I asked Trav. could we try something a little more pretty he said "No she wants to look like her Uncle Buck (Scott)" Look how nervous our little darling is I love the look in image two!

Scott I did try to talk her out of it and I thought it was mean of Trav - he was sooooo worried we would not have a good picture of the buck teeth......................I think these pictures speak for themselves, she was tad nervous.

and as they say save your best to last....................notice the turtle tat on the arm - that also came in the pack!

we left and hopped all the way to the BUNBURY FARMERS MARKET another win, they have the best and freshest fruit and vegies in the South West. I love that place. They are now doing really great looking meat so it has turned into a one stop shop and cheap as........................

I think the Highway Hotel has thought of it all and I would highly recommend it. Thanks for a great day.
10 - 10 for mine
