I wish that Kieran's School stuff was on sale but no such luck! $300+ for uniform $300+ School fees, course fees and stationery!!

Bugger!

We tried toilet training Will... it was a dismal failure- so we are back to nappies for a few months and we'll try again.

Hooray!

We have never known our cat be so happy to see us on our return home... we suspect our minder was a bit slack with the feeding but it made Ruby the most friendly and amorous we have ever known her.

Etc...

We were on Air New Zealand First Domestic Flight for 2011 (at 5:40am New Years Day!)
There were huge floods in QLD and Victoria. And locally we had flooding in Northland and Auckland when a couple of big cyclone/weather bomb things passed by- we were find but lost a couple of huge branches off our tree.
