The school holidays have worn me out – I don’t think there has been one full day at home to hang out. We’ve had swimming lessons this week which Mum has so wonderfully taken H and M along to. I went on Wednesday to see the progress and they are doing so well. Sarah Ryan works there, she is Guy Sebastians singing partner in “It Takes Two”. I spoke to her and Holly pipes up with “I see you on TV on “Dancing with the Stars” – whoops, wrong show Holly!!!

My Birthday on Wednesday was great. It came and went in a very speedy fashion but I had a delivery of a new washing machine and dryer (yippee yi yay) and then a beautiful dinner with all my family at a Chinese Restaurant. Even a cake appeared after the meal complete with candle and strains of Happy Birthday. It was wonderful.

Sydney on the weekend was rushed, but got to see gorgeous new niece Zoe and see my brother being a dad. Total spin out for me as he is the youngest of us five and still considered the baby (even though he is 28!!). Sascha looked great and from what I’ve heard they are settling in well at home.

The new house is still is dissarray and the painters are total frig-heads, but what can you do!! Rach thinks it is hilarious to crack a joke and ask everyday if the painters are there. They are a most unreliable bunch and if they weren’t doing such a great job with the actual painting I’d have sacked them ages ago. I just wish they’d turn up when they say. Is that too much to ask?? Sorry Kylie, no photos as yet. I cannot find the camera, and when I did spy it once a few days ago the batteries were flat. Where the rechargable ones are is anyones guess. Probably in one of the boxes that is still unopened in the pantry (my wonderful storage room 😉 )

So this weekend is the first one that we will have had in the house unhampered by tradespeople. I am counting on it being very quiet, catching up on some Me and Justin time, and just letting the girls play.

OK, it has taken me about 3 hours to finish this entry, so I had better get it posted before something else happens.

Oh have to mention too that Moi came for a visit today and gave me a birthday present of some scrummy scrapping ribbons and chipboards to get me inspired again. Thanks Moi!!

Have a great weekend ya’ll.
