It's been a while....

Not that I have been busy... I have just been very very lazy! There hasn't been too much going on.

I found a great Pumpkin Soup recipe and there has been some in the house constantly since.. It's just SOOOO Yum!

We got a new computer so I have been dealing with the pleasures of Vista ever since... I can't even get a photo onto here... GRRRR!

The beginning of our camping season went off with a bang and a very sore head for some the next morning (not Stu or I though!!) Works picked up for me. I am now full on a Wednesday, and only one Vacancy on the other days! I work a half day, once a fortnight on a Friday and I also do some house cleaning on the Friday as well.. A bit of cash in hand you know! Other than that, I am FREE on a Friday (to do my own house work, washing, shopping, restocking) so that the weekend is happy times for Stu and I! And.. they are going to be even HAPPIER cause we are now the owners of a Road Worthy, Running, Pretty Decent 4WD!!! YAY... Please join your hands together to welcome us back to the family!

We have purchased a 1994 Holden Jackaroo - white (it now wears the same plates as the ute did!) For the age of the car in the price bracket we were looking this was the best specimen! We looked at a Patrol and and Pajero - both had huge k's and lots of scratches and dings! This one only has 114000 on the clock and is just perfect! We are so very happy with our purchase. It has one whopper of a fuel tank - 140L to be precise... and it hangs down like a bulls balls... so.. I have been told that should we want to do any form of good off road stuff we require a significant raise (of the vehicle and money!!!) and some bigger tyres! All I want is the CD player installed and I will be very happy! See photo's here.

The kids love it - their seats fit across the middle seat well.. they love the fact that their feet can reach the back of the front seats... BRING ON THOSE SEAT COVERS!!!!

Photo links to Facebook... That will just have to be the short-term solution!

Cheers all!!!

Rain Rain... GO AWAY!!!

Our front yard has been resembling a swimming pool for most of today.. not to mention the week that's been... rain rain rain fine rain rain!

If this weather continues into tomorrow... I have 5 children that I have to entertain - indoors!!!! I don't have a large enough car to get them out to the local play gym places so we are stuck inside... GRRRRR....

Not to mention, if it remains wet - our camping trip planned for the weekend will have to be cancelled... SO NOT COOL!

So.... Rain Rain, go away... come again another day - in a week or two's time! (But then you have to clear up again for Michelle's wedding in late May!)

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful long weekend we have had so far. There's been a chilled morning watching Gilmore Girls, a little bit of cleaning, a visit with Michelle & Paul and a nice evening at home with the new season of The Unit! That was Friday... Yesterday or Saturday was my virgin trip to Northlakes... I have to say not overly impressed... We did manage to find some new runners thanks to Mr Rudd. We like the fact that we've been stimulated! Makes the bank account look quite healthy! We've sorted out our camping stuff for next weekend.. SOOOO excited! We are seriously busy over the next few months!

Camping, Girls Weekend, Wedding Shower, Engagement Party, Michelle & Paul's Wedding, Melbourne Weekend, Birthday Weekend at Montville Cottages!

My list of things to get done is never ending... and forever spending.. but we'll deal!

I have managed to fill my vacancies, if I haven't mentioned that yet, which is allowing us the pleasures of Melbourne and Montville! We are still hoping to make it to Nambucca for our Anniversary too... only time will tell!

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope that you were spoiled and have taken a few moments to reflect on the reason for these wonderful 4 days off. I don't get religious often, but Jesus' sacrifice allows us to have eternal life in his Kingdom. I love the fact that I have a future, even after my time on this earth is over.

Cheers all!
