A few mossies in the kitchen as I had the doors and windows open all day yesterday but not too many. I havnt been bitten by a sandfly in weeks now!! (I bet that will jinx it! )

When are you coming to Auckland and where will you work and live?

Modern housing,with aluminium joinery etc are so much more easier to keep up with little or no problems--BEWARE of the "Leaky House problem" which has and still is costing millions in rectifying.
We live out on the Whangaparaoa Peninsular(Hibiscus Coast)--right at the end and we have Devonports problem and virtual same set up.
Got a ferry that runs straight into Auckland and only one road in and out--takes us about 10 mins to get to the "mainland" to either turn right to Orewa or left -Motorway, Auckland.
Early start 0600=Harbour Bridge 35 mins, school hours can make it 1hr15mins!

Get over here, rent for a while-have a chat to us "natives" over a beer or 3 incinerate a few snags, put heaps of "sunfactor15" on and enjoy.

I generally feel pretty crappy right now but not as bad as I remember with DS so hopefully it wont be too bad. Looking forward to January when it comes out and I feel better.... lol.... sounds a million years away to me at the moment!

I cannot imagine having m/s for 9 months..... it mustve felt like an eternity to you!

Was hospialized with dehydration in second preganacy & lost 1/2 stone in 4 weeks (never happens like that when you want it to does it). Didn't really have any other probs son was back to back during pregnancy which meant i was i pain with my back , my daughter was breach til afew weeks before delivery. Both overs 9lbs, both sleept through night, & no probs since birth.
Hope you feel brighter soon (we now have broadband connected - hooray - so will be on more regulary, keep me updated i love all this stuff)
