The last hurdle

….has been cleared. Just got an email to say that my passport has been approved and it being posted to me now. Phew! Justin also got word (finally) that he has been accepted onto the course in Paris. It got to the point that even if he didn’t get into it, we would have gone anyway and holidayed the whole time. So nothing else to do except wait for the time to pass.

The car is in for repair over the next 3 days. Justin side-swiped another car in a carpark a few weeks ago. Not much damage but the insurance is going to cover it. I was a little miffed at NRMA at not granting us a hire car for the 3 days that we are without our car. There are 6 of us to get around and it is not easy with one 5 seater car. We have been members with NRMA for 20 years and have 3 other policies with them, none of which we have ever claimed on. Never Ever. So after forking out thousands of dollars over the years to them, I thought the least they could do was give us a car for 3 days. But noooooooooooooo – it isn’t in our policy. Are they stinkers or what!

So today after playgroup, Jess Amy and I caught the bus home. It is only 4 stops, but too far for Amy (and I would have ended up carrying her and that is insane!). We got on and I told the driver we were only going 4 stops and he let us on free. Now that is what I am talking about – if only NRMA could take a leaf out of that book!

Just got Amy’s Possums (3yr old playschool) enrolment for next year. Going to send it in straight away so that we have the best chance of being accepted for the 2 full days next year. I am going to be loving those two days – it has been ……well a long time since I have had any days without kids….probably about 8 and a bit years!!

‘Tis Book week this week at school and today Meg went as Megan the Monday Fairy, wings and all; and Holly went as an Indian Princess (complete with Sari and Bindi). Both will be parading around as I type this so I hope they did OK!

That is about it for today – over and out!
