We have a new car. Justin has finally given in and allowed us to get a car that was made this century! Bravo!! Last week the ever faithful Tarago (that we have had for about 6 years) broke down and needed to be taken by the tow truck to the mechanic. It is getting creaky and noisy, rattly and wobbly and nothing really works properly. We love it dearly but it was time to move on. Justin and I went out on Saturday and looked in all the car yards – we didn’t see anything that we thought was worthy until the very last place (which was actually the first place we went to but were looking for a different car) and there we found the perfect thing. It is a Chrysler Grand Voyager, Silver, 2004, 7 seater, tinted windows, DVD player, and loads of room. Plus they were committed to a $3000 minimum trade-in for our car. I was laughing at that cause our van is nearly 20 years old, not in great shape and we only bought it for $4K all those years ago. We took the Chrysler for a test drive and when we came back to talk money, the guy offered us a $5000 trade in. That sealed the deal for us! Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!! We pick it up on Friday!!
Easter was delightful with lots of family time and getting together with the rellies. It is nice to have Kate here from Melbourne for a few weeks, and yesterday we went to Mittagong to meet James and Sascha and the new baby Thomas who is gorgy of course. It was torrential rain but Dad used his phone to the max and hired the hall next to the park where we were meeting, so we were dry and happy.
Today is the first official day of the holidays and all 4 girls are getting their hair cut. It is still raining and I have a cold, so things will be low key here.
Here are some photos – it has been a long time since I put some up here!
Wow, I need to get tips from you on how to persuade the Minister for Household Finance to get a people mover. The Falcon broke down today. If I had a people mover, I would have a seat or three empty to do pre-school pick-up swaps with the other mums.
And there’s no way Justin is 37. But if it’s true, belated happy birthday from the Davidson household.
Just seeing what you’re up to. 🙂 Congrats on the new car – what a deal! I would LLOOOOOVVEEE to have a DVD player in the car, especially for those long trips to SA!
