Hey look, I'm at home and sitting at the computer, what a rare treat! Well, that's not entirely true. I have been on the computer a fair bit lately, but it's all been to book our NZ trip for March. Hooray {party hooters going off}! We got our airfares through the Travel Agent last Friday and I've spent the weekend and this week researching and booking all our accommodation. I'm looking forward to it! Tho, lets be honest here, my bid was in to go to Disneyland again. But Will and his sensible mind wanted to go somewhere that would be easy to take Jaimeson (ie. at 10 months he's not really going to enjoy Space Mountain as much as me) and that we could enjoy as a family, and Will has wanted to go to NZ for a while so I gave in and we're off to NZ for 2 weeks on March 10. I have been to the South Island back in 2005, but never the North Island and we're doing both on a whirlwind family driving adventure. And secretly, I am looking forward to it, a lot! I've marked out all the Kiwi Op Shops and everything {giggles!}
So here was the recent Project 365 Pics:
17: My sister Yvette and niece Tassy visited Sydney and I was lucky to get some time to pick them up before their bus left, and visit some shops in the City, including Vinnies at Newtown, Made590 and Mitchell Road Antiques. It was almost as if she lived in Sydney and we had just popped out for the day. So much fun! I wish you did live nearby Yvette! {hugs!}18:Jaimeson and I headed over to my sister Felicity's house for a card making day, as both Felicity's children were at Preschool (Sienna's first days at Preschool ever, so it was a big thing!) Jai slept for almost 3 hours so we got heaps of cards made. {High five!}
19: Another sociable occasion for us, Jaimeson and I met up with our friends Meleah and Claire at a local shopping centre for a coffee. Meleah and I are both whities, but our husbands are not, so it was so humorous for us to have people look at our half Asian, and half Sri Lankan, children then look at us with a surprised face. LOL!
20: flights to NZ are booked!
21: Just a lazy Saturday at home for Jaimeson and I, hanging out watching TV! We needed it after our very busy and sociable week! Phew! {wiping hand across forehead}22: it's Council Cleanup time so Willy and I dived headfirst into cleaning out the shed! Do you have Council Cleanup in your neighbourhood? It's the BEST thing ever! I love getting rid of crap and seeing what crap of mine people pick up! It's highly amusing people watching at Council Cleanup time! And we've gotten some awesome things at cleanup time! (lounge, futon, single chair, bedside table, big toy sand truck for Jai, outdoor chairs etc etc!) My MIL is a hoarder of chairs and plastic bags, so we liberated her of some {wink!}
23: I was out doing the grocery shopping when my old High School friend Monique texted to say she was in Sydney for the day so could we meet up. (Nothing like a last minute text!) So I quickly rushed home, threw the cold groceries in the fridge, fed Jai and jumped on a train into the city. Luckily Jai is so easy going and just goes with the flow. What a good boy! It was so lovely to see her!
24: Felicity and I had an Op Shopping Day today and here she is with her bounty! She really wanted to go check out the Op Shops after all of Yvette's and my success getting some gems! We visited 4 shops and also had Pancakes at the Rocks (Northmead) for lunch. YUMMO! We had some success and she came away happy with what she got (me too!) and it was a lovely day to hang out together. I haven't driven her around for years so it was nice even just to chat while we drove around! LOL! {hugs}.
So that's my days! Better get back to booking {sigh!}

Wow what a busy family you are. Never a dull moment in your house. Purging is so liberating too. I want to turn our shed out onto the lawn, sort, toss and put back neater!!
Love Mum
What did you get rid of at Council Cleanup? Just chairs and plastic bags? You should donate the bags to the oppie! They would reuse them. What did you buy at the oppie? And Fliss? I can kinda see her haul.
No we don't have council cleanup. Although on monday the council did come and clean up the leftovers from our tree that split in half in the storm! It was on the nature strip so it was good that it was their responsibility to remove and not ours! We did chop it up for him so that made his job easier. Although he did have a chainsaw and we only had a lame little saw. He sculpted the remains of the tree with his chainsaw. That looked like fun. Maybe I should get a chainsaw! He chucked everything in a mulcher and it went nom nom nom on the spot!
