Yes Campers it's been a while but we have been busy being fabulous and important. God if only!
Andrew – As well as being a fabulous song from Wicked it also happens to be what I said to Gusband yesterday.
A friend of ours was getting rid of her bunk beds because her son is now big enough for a big boys bed. Actually he’s almost finished university so not before time really. When the charity truck refused to take it because it wasn’t completely pulled apart I suggested that my mother-in-law might like it since she often has the grandkids piled up all around her house. Great idea.
So like the good son and son-in-law we are, Gusband and I borrowed a ute and went to pick said bed up. Turns out it was going to take 2 trips. Turns out it also decided to start sleeting. So there we were driving around the OC in shitty weather, in a poorly packed ute with it’s cargo having been secured by 2 homosexuals who aren’t known for their knot tying abilities.
No good deed…. Indeed.
Gusband offered to make a cake for his nieces birthday last year, because he can’t bear the thought HIS niece or nephew having to endure a “shop bought cake.” At 1 o’clock in the morning as he was putting the finishing touches on the cake and drinking the final of about 400 glasses of wine, I put the song on. “Aint that the fucking truth” he muttered.
If I recall correctly it was also the text I received from The Foot Doctor as she finished rolling 5000 meatballs for a fundraiser we had organised. However it may have gone along the lines of “No good fucking deed goes un-fucking punished.” Like the time I helped P-Mac and her grandmother to their car in a massive storm. Holding the umbrella for Nanna while she SLOWLY got into the car, I very QUICKLY became saturated. Thrilled I wore a white shirt to work that day!

Oh the list could go on and on because I’m such a good person/citizen/friend but I’m getting depressed and I’d rather hear your stories.
Keep doing good deeds campers, we’ll be rewarded in heaven. SHIT! Note to self – Start believing in heaven. xx
Lucy - No Good Deed Indeed, Such a true saying. Nana Penny is also the recipient of the "No Good Deed" Act. She kindly volunteered to look after her grandchild known as "Crazy Henry" (the name speaks for itself really).
Crazy H, my 1.5 year old 53kg baby was going for a 5 night sleepover before being sent to bootcamp (while I went travelling the world). By day 5 he had become so used to his new digs, he was running around in the house like any little puppy would do, but the difference is Henry is like a small horse which equates to a Bull in a china store scenario. Poor Nana P . I am sure bootcamp couldn't have come quicker!!!!
Crazy H wasn't finished with Nana P yet. Just before I returned from my big adventure Nanna P was minding Sawusband & my house, she decided to do a load washing for me (what a good deed) as she hung out the washing she stepped in a not so little present left by Crazy H......(note to self, 53kg dogs have large presents to leave!) Poor Nana P, I'm sure she won't be volunteering her services so much anymore.
Sawusband is a doer of good deeds quite often. I recall the time he volunteered to drive a truck for some friends. That would be a good deed except for the fact that he had never driven such a big truck before & proceeded to take out a set of traffic lights.
I can't think of any good deeds that have got me into trouble of late....Hmmm maybe I have not offered to do any good deeds of late.....I may have to start soon or Andrew, you & I may not be getting into heaven after all.
I'm sure there will be a bar outside the pearly gates, we may have to settle for a Gin & tonic while watching all the action.
What good deeds have you done Campers.

He looks so harmless while sleeping.
Even though we have the biggest bed available he still can't quite fit
