Round-Up~ October 2011

On our bookshelf this month....

Saddle Club for Merenia.
Library books for Will.
Harry Potter for Kieran and perhaps a little Italian.
I've read nothing more than web sites on various things that I need to sort out.... YAWN! Oh and Better Homes and Gardens Mag- I miss Next!
Les is sadly lacking in good reading material too... Airborne Magazine I think. (Stupid limited Library hours).

Loving on the box....

Survivor, The Slap, Dr Who, One Born Every Minute, Letters and Numbers, Spicks and Specks, Rugby. ABC for Kids inclu: Octonauts, Hooray for Huckle, Mister Maker, Lazy Town, Play School and Canimals  And Merenia: Bondi Vet, Recruits:Paramedics, and Netball.

For you...For me?

Send some packages home to NZ some bit and pieces for various people; like marshmallows, jelly, cups and Mojo. I got some birthday pressies. And ordered my Christmas Pressies.

Germs and bugs and botherations....

Toothache for me (read MASSIVE Absess getting bigger day by day). Sore Jaw for Kieran- also tooth related I think.

Today was good today was fun, tomorrow is another one...

Watching the AB's winning the RWC, going to the auction, getting the soil and sand for the garden. Also when the grass got laid. Visitng the garden centre with Tama and looking for the Bandicoot! Will enjoyed his first day at Pre-school. Not so much laying the paving but certainly having it done.

Yum, yum, yum....

First BBQ in Austrlia. OMG desserts esp Creme Caramel. Roast Lamb, Mango Smoothie and Will and I made Strawberry Cupcakes.

'It was on sale'....

Some cool stuff from Purple Pumpkin Crafts October Sale and also a bunch of stuff from Anna's Craft Cupboard. Les ordered up some stuff from Tower Hobbies and Dave Pratley as well. Oh and he brought a new PC as the one Kieran has been using is on the way out so we're all moving up one. New Shoes for the kids.

Bugger!

The guy who installed our Aerial took out the lights. Our house inspection got postponed. The standards and environments for Early Childhood education in our area (and the cost of the crap). Les has to go away next month. Our chosen medical practice sucks and I had a run in with their nurse- we will be changing. The time wasted on sorting out our conscientious objectors forms!! Australia and their levels of security, bureaucracy, wait times (10 WORKING days to process photos!), and general layer of shit on everything. Massive ball of pus in my face!

Hooray!

All Blacks Winning the World Cup! Finally getting internet connected at home. Qualifying for the Child Care Rebate. Finished unpacking finally! Kieran finally started school- and it's a good one! The Immunisation Centre- being reasonable, sensible, and helpful- who'd have thought? Finished unpacking!!!

Etc...

Didn't realise we had voice mail till we got a message :-) then didn't know how to get the message!  Our old neighbour and one of my GaT kids is at K's school. Tama had a follow-up scan and while it wasn't Horizon the Paediatric Radiologist was excellent. Went to the Library. Found a Kindy that looks beautiful and hope to put Tama on the waiting list for when he is 3.5 yrs old- crazy to be thinking of that now!

You know who's good idea this was? Katie The Scrapbook Lady. Go check out her list of tasks to do at the end of each month as well.
