P.S. Does anyone fancy a get together in Mandurah over the next few weeks, seeing as I'm self-appointed entertainments co-ordinator

Hi Jules

After all the advice we got on the meet up we went back and ask a load more questions to do with the rental.they still could not come up with the answers, wanted us to sign lease there and then, under lot of pressure from them, wanted time to read it but wouldnt let us, few things that was meant to be on lease was not so we refused to sign, which am glad we didn't. Found a nice new one so will be the first ones in it and the agents have been a lot more helpful. So we are still in Secret Harbour up in Elwell Street and are moving in on Friday.

Just let us know when next meet is.

Phillip.

Cool - happy housewarming!

I'll see about a date and get something posted for a Mandurah 'do'.

Hi Jules,

We are getting there slowly! We never seem to do anything in a hurry so we'll fit in just right

Still got to sign up for Medicare & we were reminded today today when Kyle had bad ear ache through the night, phoned round some Doctors but couldn't get an appointment with any of them! 1 place had 4 Doctors, 2 were on holiday & 1 was off sick! But it turned out to be a false alarm as Kyle only had water-in-the-ear which on asking about seems quite common & is cured very easily with a squirt of 'Aqua Ear' or something? Any advise on good Doctor's or where is best to go? Someone said find one that does bulk billing?

Went & bought some bicyles today as we cant wait another month for our others to arrive with container, we are itching to get out on them(well I am anyway! )

Kids finished their 3 day surfing lessons today, Melissa & Kyle loved it, although Kyle had a bit of a strop on as he doesn't like being told what to do! Have booked them another 6 lessons during school term. Also booked swimming lessons for them at Aqua Jetty in Warnbro, it's really good as the kids can swim for free anytime for that term once signed up & we can swim for free while they are having their lesson

Booked the kids in Warnbro Primary for this term, still not sure where they'll be going for the new term next year though

Hope to be getting a BBQ soon & off to a meet with the Emi-great lot at Harmony Park in Singleton on Sunday, Also looking froward to the Mandurah meet when it's arranged

Well, that's all I can think of for now! I'm sure your probably asleep reading all our antics above

All the best,

Chris & family

Cool - it's all coming together then

Aquajetty is good. Once the kids are at school, you get leaflets for VACswim which they run in the holidays and you can book the kids in for lessons for $1 a day - they are held at Aquajetty too! My lot are booked in for next week as I am a cheapskate. No!.... we've done the weekly lessons, but my lot started to not like going, so i knocked them on the head. Secret Harbour primary do in-term lessons there in Terms 4 and 1 too.

We use Secret Harbour medical centre - although I wouldn't recommend Dr Farrier - he's an acquired taste and can be very rude - don't know if they bulk bill either. One Dr they have - Dr Eiseler is VERY good. Did an excellent job on my daughter's finger when she almost chopped it off in the garage door!

Keep watching for the Mandurah get together then. Have a good time with the Emi-Great rabble I'm not hurt that you're 'double dating'

Remember where we are and if there's anything we can do to help, just shout!

Ast - are you missing your mate? How long have they gone for? Meant to PM her and wish her a happy holiday, but ran out of time

Keeping busy?

Any chance of making the Mandurah thing next week while the school holidays are still on?

School holidays are difficult for me as we run the business and have to juggle the kids as well, so I can only really do weekends with the family.

You guys feel free to organise something during the hols if that's easier for you

P.S. How's the dental work going Sunbather? You didn't make it to the BBQ, so it must have been nasty

Yup, resulted in a week off work sick. Having a repeat treatment next week
