Default What are you up to for Easter?

Looks like a quiet one for me, husband is off on Friday and Monday but working Easter Sunday (double pay!), so we may do something either day and have friends round but otherwise going to be a quiet one for us.

A few people I know are off down South but dont fancy it myself, should imagine it will be a nightmare on the roads early tomorrow arvo.

Who is up to anything nice over the holiday?

Only eldest at home, he'll be spending it with his mates going to movies etc, middle one going camping with best mate and her family to Augusta, total of 5 families going so there'll be 20 odd kids (don't envy them lol) and youngest off to Exmouth for two weeks with inlaws..... So for the first time in 15 yrs we are thinking "lets go to the movies, restaurants etc". Hectic at work recently so really looking forward to "us" time. Although we have date nights often, having a whole weekend not to tell younger ones off is REAL luxury, can't wait.

Hope you have a great Easter Sam xxx

First time in years I've had the Easter weekend off! Can't wait

We're going diving tomorrow, then up to Bribie Island for the long weekend with a load of the husband's family for some camping, fishing, boating and kayaking (husband has a new fishing kayak).

Weather is due to be good too, so I'm really looking forward to it

PS stay safe on the roads over Easter, people (and remember the cops will be out in big numbers).

Double demerits

I am driving on Friday and I take my GPS as it tells me the speed limit of every road I am on and bleeps if I exceed it.

We are off to take the littlies to Australia Zoo tomorrow. It will be expensive and probably packed to the brim but the kids will have a ball.

Off to some far-flung leafy farm/hotel to watch the Brother In Law get hitched.

Overnight stays and a bucks night on the coast thrown in.

Should be good
