Just a Note :(

Hey guys thought I'd drop a post to say whats going on in my neck of the woods!

Have got my last day of work tomorrow then get a whole unpaid week off, YAY!

Have ordered some gear for my Camera, am really excited about it, should make for some good pictures. Hope to post the results soon!! Though I want it before the end of tomorrow which is a little, no very, doubtful. Oh well I will do the best with what I've got till otherwise.

My Boss and co-workers say some funny stuff sometimes, the best are when my Boss says Flog instead of Frog, and then there is Groomy instead of Gloomy! My co-worker is cool, though he has been on holiday for a month or so now, he said once "watch out the box is Wambaling" instead of Wobbling!

Work is picking up and should be quite busy when all the Holiday Photos start streaming in! There are moments of madness when some Lady is nutting out in Mandarin or a Guy!!

Have made a couple of mistakes. Once I put through the Laminator this job, and the Laminator decided to eat it, because I didn't do something right. I didn't put the paper right to the front edge of the laminate sleeve, Trust me its not recommended. This was a Ladies job and she just nutted out, I felt so bad as it was a genuine mistake. She then proceeds to go and get her partner who comes in basically frothing at the mouth and swears at me and throws the crumpled half munched half laminated paper on the counter, obscenities streaming from his mouth. I was like thinking "man I didn't think that I'd made that bigger mistake", My boss stepped in and soothed him and got the situation sorted and was real good about it. Though I took it bad because I just do, learned something from it though!

Anyway Hope you guys stay safe over New Years, Neo you especially with the JBI time machine! Don't do anything I wouldn't guys! :)

Will be back with some pictures hopefully,
I bid you farewell,
David

The Jelly Tip!!!

JELLY TIP


Jelly Tip, a special tipped treat that's chilled the teeth of millions of Kiwis, has been the darling of ice creams for over 50 years. A delicious piece of Kiwiana, New Zealanders have munched their way through 150 million Jelly Tip ice cream since its creation in 1951.

The Jelly Tip was dreamed up by a team of creative-minded chemists who were briefed to develop an ice cream children could eat when out and about. The creative team did look overseas to see what was happening there, but wanted a New Zealand creation. Jelly Tip is truly a Kiwi-born innovation

The mix of creamy vanilla ice cream, tipped with a raspberry flavoured jelly, and encased in a chocolate coating is as popular today as it was 50 years ago, and has helped Jelly Tip to remain one of the top ten novelty ice creams.


Okay so that was the marketing pitch, but they also make it in tubs and its vanilla ice cream with bits of chocolate and big swirls of Jelly all over the place, man my mouth is watering thinking about it!! Its awsome ice cream to eat, you can be sneaky and get the jelly out and less vanilla but the bits of chocolate make it worth while to get the vanilla ice cream.

YUM!


Hope that explained it?

As far as brands of Ice cream I like Movenpick, and Killenchy Gold, they both make superb ice cream!!

Merry Christmas Guys and Girls, my God Bless you over this season of enjoyment and relaxation! :)
