2008 - Year of the Earth Rat

Happy New Year to everyone and specially all you rats out there!
I'm predicting a mega good year in the Hideout. A new top of the range Mac laptop will do me thanks, & a nice little blue car wouldn't go astray. We'll be packing our bags, or in my case taking almost empty bags, to jet off to New York in May. Looking forward to doing some shopping tours, particularly around recycled fashions and warehouses.

Now 14 year online anniversary!

Once again another year crept up and flew by before I knew it. Time to upload the good old Aussie Santa again, that will do for the decorations around here. There's a gold star hanging out on the front verandah that's been there for 2 years.

This has been a good year in the Hideout and I want to thank everyone who has clicked on any google ads on the site, or even browsed a few pages; it all brought in added income greatly appreciated. Have a happy one and note my predictions for 2007 that John Howard would lose the PM position in disgrace came true! I predict a much much fairer Australia with Kevin Rudd leading a great team.
