A blast from the past!

Sadly, I Googled myself today! I wanted to show Lauren that there is another Kylie Embury in Australia (she found me on facebook). It's amazing how much stuff is on there about me now - mainly from this blog, forums, and competitions I've won. Sadly (again) this AWFUL photo of me from the Examiner newspaper in 2003 (when the kids were 4 and 3) also came up in the search! I was trying to win World Cup Rugby tickets for the game at Aurora for Shayne, and ended up with the main prize of tickets, a Wallabies watch and gift pack, AND the Sony TV - which is still going strong! I was just saying the other day after my other winnings that I didn't know where our Examiner clipping was, so now at least I've got a copy! Patrick remembers this day, and so do I! They made us wait for AGES late in the day, and the kids were tired and ratty. THEN the photographer made us lie on the floor with the TV and the result was a shocking photo of me trying to stop two wriggling kids from escaping - check out the faces on the little monkeys!
It was worth it for such a cool prize though!

oh wow Kylie - you win LOTS!!!! That is so cool. Definitely worth the hassle for a great prize like that.

The word verification says 'sating' - it should say 'lying' :)

As usual, I was going to say word for word what Lisa said!!
You are a really lucky person, but then again you have to be in it to win it.
Love Lorraine.
