Christmas is just around the corner now!

I have done all my christmas shopping now! Thank god as all the kids ( Christine, Brook, Brock and Spencer too not to forget the biggest kid of them all MATT as well). I am yet to get Liz n Si, Mum & Ian (got mum's not Ian's), Pups, my dad. Then i have it complete.

I have a good guess of wat to get everyone which is good enough to blow them all away. Just hope they haven't got them already and do tell me if they have that way i can get them something else.

Here's just a few of the pressies i have got so far.....

Hallaween time again!!!!




Here is my rug rats dressed up for todays free dress day at school ..... Brock was dracula while brook was Nanny Mcfee Witch. While i tried on brocks teeth hahaha!

Brock was the fun today as he had up to 20 kids following him around the school today while mum sat back in canteen laughing to herself while working......... I was amazed we made a total of $59.60 for healthy food sales today and made $219.00 out of canteen today.
Considering this time last week we had made like $174.00 out of canteen and healthy foods made $20 bucks just.
Looks like healthy options for the kids might actually work after all.

Beautiful old town (Arrowtown), Wanaka, Puzzelworld, Cormwell NZ

This is one of the many places we stopped in at along our South Island trip in New Zealand. Arrowtown is a old settlement town where people used to come to pan for Gold.
It is Beautiful and peaceful here, no hussel or bussel of the city life here. Its only about a 20min drive from Queenstown. Very pretty place.

I took some street pictures as well as phone both pic's. As they reminded me of the London phone booths. I also saw a sculpture that i had to take a pic of also. Very interesting.

We had dinner at the local Pub (New Orleans Hotel) also one night very nice meal here. Become a popular spot for the locals also after 5pm.







Same day we traveled to Wanaka or what matt would say Wanker. Also a pretty place but the day we went very windy cold icy wind at that. I took some of the lake here. Was choppy as you can see. We had lunch at the one of many pubs which was open, also a lovely luch here. I couldn't go past the sign on the back of the door in the ladies toliet that i had to take a picture of. It said
Here's to a long life and a merry one. Quick death and an easy one. Pretty girl and an Honest one. Cold beer - and another one!

We also discovered the wonders of Puzzelworld - where you have to use your brains..... Every where here.They have illusion room where you feel as if your being watched from every angle by faces, 3D pictures on walls that move, puzzels you can solve yourself and many other things. Not forgetting the famous Leaning Tower of Wanaka.


On way back we stopped in on Cromwell place known for it's fruit and veggies - best grown here. This where i took a picture of the petrol prices which were only at 2.20 a litre 2 weeks before we came over. We'd cry poor if that happened to us here in Australia. While we were there it staied at 1.98 for petrol never went up or down staied the same.

OTAGO MUSEUM - NZ- DUNDIEN










We went to OTAGO MUSEUM. It cost us about 16 dollars each to go there, it was a hands on exprience where we got to play on computers, look at some x- rays , see Tropical fish in tanks that looked like a picture on a wall, play with a magnet fish through glass, also got a talk on the smells that a dog and cat . There was a special thing going on called the Tropical Forest where they mocked up a rain forest inside a part of the museum and it was so pretty and really hot like 45 degress inside there. Had a very pretty waterfall and some beautiful Butterflies also.

Open Zoo in New Zealand 30/9/08

Matty and i have recently came back from New Zealand, the day we left we filled in time by going to the Ortgo Zoo near the Airport @ Christchurch. We spent from 9.30am till just on 12pm there walking around taking pic's and looking at wonderful animals.
This is the play equipment @ the Zoo thought it was cool.This is thee baby Lambie we got to hold and feed and get up n close to along with Cows.


We also saw our favourite animal the tiger.......... They were like WOW!


The ducklings go marching hura hura! lol


Breathtaking water fall that was about 6ft away from me in a bird sentury.


Matt with his friend the Kiwi.

It's my Bthday and i'll cry if i want 2!

Well as the old story goes another day another day older well that was me yesturday. I turned 32 yesturday and gee i feel it more and more these days like my age.
Last night i went to Draculas in Melbourne with my BF, Cass, Tim Tam, Caroline, Shane and Tanya. Well what should have been a good night was some what a blow out the meal was ok, the performance was rushed and was all ova by 10.30pm which was dissappointing. Also the fact that my BF was being an Ass for the night also did not help some what. Oh well it's like watching a baby spit it when he don't get his own way and that is the worst i have ever seen him but i hold the ranies and there was no way i was letting them go last nite no matter how pissed off he got.
Well it was all ova and he was all ova me again it was wierd as.
Anyway all in all i was surprised to get a card from my mum and nan for my bthday as they both told me to go to hell. Yet i got a card go figure.

Well i got a gift card from tams which was cool and i also got some personal stuff off caorline which was nice of her as she didn't have to. Thats all for my pressie's as i got nothing else as yet.

I actually got a sms off dad yesturday say Happy Bthday Darling which woke us up at 8.30am what a way to start my day.
