Day 31

1550 squats down, zero to go!!

What a wild ride!

Today we thank the fabulous Nordacious yet again for creating these fabulous tees and being such a proud activist in our community.  

It is the International Transgender Day of Visiblity today.  This community is under attack like never before.  The country we used to say was the leader of the free world has proven to be anything but. But we see you. We see you!

This is the last day of the challenge and all the donations received today will count towards our total. We’re currently 7th on the leadership board thanks to an anonymous donation (but I reckon we know where that came from!) so hop to it, and if you haven’t donated to the All Pros No Cons please consider donating today and help us raise money for the RFDS.  Link is here:

Day 30

1500 squats down - just 50 to go
♥️
We can never reach the gold standard of Shrek and Fiona again so it’s all downhill from here!
Second last day of the challenge and we are riding 🚲 high with the galahs and the sharks 😆.
Thanks again to everyone who has donated to date. It is so greatly appreciated. The window is closing - if you want to help us make all this silliness worth it, please donate to the All Pros No Cons team, raising money for the RFDS. Link is here:
Sidenote - our team is currently 8th among 163 teams for our fundraising efforts. Just a few hundred more will boost our position and make us look really good 🤗😇 so help us out - hop to it!

Day 29

1450 squats down, 100 to go

Inspired by the 5th Birthday of Isolation Trivia last night, we thought we’d give Shrek and Fiona (you can call me Princess) a squatting chance of their own.

PSA - wearing a face mask that stops you breathing during any exercise should be avoided 😆😆

We may have reached our goal but we absolutely want more!!! Thanks so much to everyone who has donated to date, and you have just 2 more days to donate to the crazy efforts of the All Pros No Cons team, raising money for the RFDS.  Dig deep!  Link is here:

Day 28

1400 squats down, just 150 to go!
And the swing is on! (Thank you Nordacious!) In case you’ve been in hiding today, our PM announced an election for Saturday 3 May. We’re also donning our 2022 election merch - might need a 2025 upgrade!
We are a very lucky country and we have rights that we should be so proud of. So enrol to vote, then VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Have your say and help shape our democracy 🙏🙏🙏
Rant over!
Thanks to the generosity of you lovely people we have reached our goal but we are overachievers 😆
So with just more 3 days left in this challenge, please, please, please dig down and see if you have a dollar or two to spare and donate to the fabulous efforts of the All Pros No Cons team raising money for RFDS!

Day 27

1350 squats down, 200 to go

Oh my lord, today was hard!

We love living in the River City and thought we would celebrate this today. Brisbane still is a big country town with some growing up to do, but it has everything anyone could want to live a fun and love-filled life. We are soooo lucky to live here ♥️

But don’t be fooled - it does rain! And while Calanthe has moved to the big, big smoke, I hope she’ll always call Brisbane home ♥️

Just 4 days now till our challenge ends.  Putting out the hard word for donors - we’re silly but we’re fun. Reward the silly by making a donation of $2 or more that is tax deductible - win-win!

Day 26

1300 squats down, 250 to go

In November last year we got to see the 50 year Cold Chisel bash in the Big Top in Brisbane.  Great night and definitely a long stroll down memory lane.  So, here we are in our tees trying our best to be Jimmy Barnes, but yeah, nah! Apologies in advance…

Really getting to the pointy end now - massive shout out to all those who got behind us from early in the piece and up to this point and commiserations to those who have followed us in horror.  Just 5 more days of this, we promise.  Please dig deep and help the All Pros No Cons team raise money for the RFDS.  If last night’s budget is anything to go by, the pressure has got to the Feds and they’ve at least budgeted some additional funding. But the RFDS needs to be fully govt funded if they want to be sure they can attract good staff and provide adequate servicing to rural and remote areas.  As Jimmy would say "get into it!"

Day 25

1250 squats down, 300 to go
Sorry for the delayed post…
Today, given the horrific unrest they are experiencing right now, we revisit our favourite home away from home, Türkiye. I went in 2015 and we both went back in 2018 but world events and a lack of money have made it hard for us to find space to go back.
We cannot recommend Türkiye enough as a holiday location. Each time we have grabbed the beautiful Tarik Saylan from Simply Türkiye to set our itinerary. The people are beautiful, the food is sensational and there is so much history, including a joint history that they value as much as we do. They love Australians and always want us back.
Viva Istanbul, Viva! 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
6 more days to donate - you know the drum - dig deep and donate via the link below to the efforts of the All Pros No Cons team raising money for the RFDS:
PS - have a bit of fun - Troja is Turkish for Troy (where Helen was saved by a wooden horse) but if you look it up in Italian…
That tip was brought to you by our tour guide. And Peter wears his Troja tshirt proudly!

Day 24

1200 squats down, 350 to go
Back to just the two of us up here, with Calanthe squatting virtually back in Sydney each day till the end of this challenge.
You’ll see today we tried to make a giant heart but alas our old muscles and bones would only get us so far ♥️ and Peej has difficulty with even the smaller hearts 😍😆
We’re in our favourite pride shirts - all the colours of the Rainbow Community, in an effort to deaden the USA anti-DEI horror that is still creating unnecessary harm all around the world to people who are just trying to live their lives authentically.
The RFDS actively promotes inclusivity and diversity in its operations (as it should) but it can’t operate effectively without the generosity of donors. Please support the efforts of the All Pros No Cons team and donate to the RFDS below:

Day 23

1150 squats down, 400 to go

When the All Pros No Cons get together, they play together.  This morning we decided to celebrate the fabulous Mandy Moobs, especially as we have the merch! Oh, she loves to love! 🩷🐷🩷

You all have 8 days to show us your love and donate to the All Pros No Cons team while they try to raise much needed money for the RFDS.

Get to it, lovers!

Told you we have a treat for you - all the Pros are together this weekend!
Today, according to the All Pros No Cons team, is Marney Day! Marney has already sponsored us in our challenge and we thought we would dedicate Day 22 to her, especially as it is also Kaftan Day!
With only 9 days to go in this challenge, we ask you to be like Marney, dig into those pockets and wallets and if you find a few bucks, please donate them to the efforts of the All Pros No Cons team to raise money for the RFDS.

Day 21

Day 21
1050 squats down, 500 to go
What’s special day - I am celebrating 30 years since I became a parent! Oh, and my eldest is turning 30…🩷. Today we celebrate with a song I’m pretty sure Rhody loves to hate 😬
Happy birthday, Rhodestar! Hoping you have a fabulous weekend with your friends and family.
We’ll be squatting over the weekend and with any luck the full All Pros No Cons team will get to treat you so watch this space.
We still want your money so please donate at this link:

Day 20

1000 squats down, 550 to go
Empire of the Sun is one of our favourite Aussie bands. Bear with us - just imagine the masks are bigger, brighter and full of feathers and imagine that we actually have capacity to maintain a sense of rhythm. We’re sure you’ll see it eventually 😂
And…drumroll…we got our medals!
(And the crowd went wild "heeeeeeeeeeeeh")
We are well on the home stretch now. Just 11 more days to donate to the great work of the All Pros No Cons team and support the RFDS. Go on… you know you want to!!!

Day 19

950 squats down, 600 to go
We’re feeling pretty "ocka" today so we thought we’d bring on the booze 🍻🥂🍾
But this 0.0 alcohol really isn’t cutting it. My face says it all…
If it’s pay week for you this week, please consider sending a few tax-deductible bucks our way and support the Australian Drinking Team, sorry I mean the All Pros No Cons team, to raise money for the RFDS!

Day 18

900 squats down, 650 to go

Today we’re wearing our favourite tees from our trip to Vietnam in 2023.

Turns out that the Vietnamese love a good power balad and V-pop!

We’re getting through this challenge but we still need your help.  Please donate to the All Pros No Cons team to support the Royal Flying Doctors Service in its effort to deliver medical services to rural and remote Queenslanders.  Link is here:

Day 16

Hump Day!  What better way to celebrate than with Pineapples!

These caps and tshirts have been with us since the infamous Tropical Fiesta at Palm Cove in 2018 with the fabulous Sally Stern, where we chose pineapple as our theme and wore something pineapple everyday 🍍🍍🍍. Why? We have no idea!

Literally now on the half-way day in this challenge, thanks again to all who have donated to date.  To those who are keen to keep watching us make increbles idiots of ourselves (well maybe not Calanthe who always looks like an airbrushed athletic goddess), please feel free to help maintain our motivation by donating at this link:

It’s 6 years today since we lost the beautiful Don Nilon, my Dear Old Dad.  So we’ve "donned" a set of aces ♠️ because Dad was ace, and he was 10♥️ out of 10♥️!

Christine - you may remember these kits 😉

We are a Star Wars family and we are offering our respects to Darth Vader today. After all, the Dark Side has cookies 😃
Thanks again to all our donors to date - you are legends, all of you 💜🩷💜
We’ve upped our goal so please keep those donations rolling in. Big, small, we’ll take it all, to support the fabulous work of the RFDS serving rural and remote Queensland. Link to donate is here:

Day 12

600 squats PLUS AN EXTRA SPECIAL 50 to double our efforts for double donation day!!!  Still 950 of daily squats to go.

As promised - our very fabulous (and due to technical difficulties overly late) tribute to New Order after managing to get to Riverstage last night and see them live. Great show. It’s the music of our youth 🖤🩶🖤

Thanks so much to everyone who has taken advantage of double donation day today to support the RFDS, sponsored by Dynasty Sport. We took a bucket load of cash from Dynasty today - well done you lot!! You’ve got an hour and 10 minutes to make them give up more of their profit! Go for it!

Meantime, it’s onward and upward for us.  The link to donations is here:

PJ donned his Droogie Bro shirt today, so he left me no choice but to recycle my Amity Beach shirt to create today’s theme - 70s cult movie classics.  We are bringing you two of the best directors - Kubrick and Spielberg - huzzah!!!

So, if you haven’t already dug deep in sympathy for us, please feel free to donate here:

Day 10

500 squats down, 1050 to go!

Today we’ve dragged out our MONA shirts that we got in Tassie in 2023 after a ride in the Posh Pit on the Derwent as part of our 25 wedding anniversary.

In our kitchen, you can still see the mega litres of water gathered for this week’s End of Days, which we WILL use and will NOT waste, if we don’t need to use once all this flooding has died down.

Given we are bringing today to you by Tassie’s MONA, we thought it best that after we finished our 50, we come up with some super "arty" moves for our FB and Insta posts 😉.

Judge for yourselves but if you’re anything like my bro Jimbo, our exhibition may cause you to end up saying “I don’t know what I like, but I know I don’t like art" 🥳

We have noted that our donations are stagnant and haven’t moved much 😔, despite the significant "quality" of entertainment we are providing (cough! cough!) but, please, humour us - if you have some dollars spare, please donate to the All Pros No Cons team effort to raise money for the RFDS and provide much needed funding to ensure they attract good staff and can fly to where they need to be to help rural and remote Queenslanders!

Day 8

8 March 2025
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY to all my Sistas 💜💚💜💚💜

400 squats down…only 1150 to go

We’re inside today (thanks Alfie) celebrating the achievements of women everywhere, featuring portraits of our two favourite women - our mums, Dorothy and Ann - who somehow managed to both work and raise a family in a heavily patriarchal set-up, and give us everything we needed to be good humans, accompanied by the best feminist anthem in the world. And my favourite pussy hat that I treasure, made especially for me by the wonderful Peta 🩷🩷🩷

BUT seeing you’re here, please spend a minute and a half making a donation to our amazing efforts to squat for the most remote regions in our state!

Day 7

350 squats down…only 1200 to go

We’ve got Cyclone Alfred hovering over us awaiting the worst yet to come, and so we’re focussing on the long-term custodianship of our local country, the land of the Turrbal and Jagera peoples, and wishing to acknowledge the deeply spiritual connection they have to the land and its waterways. We are lucky in the big city when it comes to access to health services, but RFDS are providing emergency medical support to the most remote areas across country. While we have spent a lot of time wondering why this essential service is not fully funded, raising money in the interim is a step in the right direction to continued servicing.

We’re fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Queensland is a big state, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away.

This March, we’re challenging ourselves to do 50 squats a day to help more people access the care they need. By going further, we hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Every day in Queensland, the Flying Doctor helps 225 people in need! And in 2024 the Flying Doctor picked up 12,850 patients for transfers via aeromedical service.

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to our challenge today!
