Re: Whangaparaoa Meetup
We will have to do it again soon! Next time my eldest WILL be there. Maybe we could do it at Stanmore Bay as they have the park and skatepark there too, it's right next to the beach and it's more accessible than Shakespeare Park?
I have only just got your text/missed call this morning because my phone died up there just after you called but I was driving, and my son had my charger with him

Aww. It rained a little and it nearly stopped the cricket but we just ducked under the tree for a minute and the skies turned blue again. Louloumama and her family came and another family who had been emailing me this week after someone pointed out the meet to them.
Seems to be a mobile trait at the moment, txts getting lost in the ether for a day or so sometimes. I did suspect you had phone problems when I couldnt raise you

Hope you had a fun (!!) time at the school thing too
Edited to add: I had one spot where I could get a signal out there and if my phone moved even 1mm, it was lost!

I plan to test whether you get the 20c voucher if you buy a P&S $200 giftcard (anyone know?) So you can buy several weeks shopping at once and get several vouchers???? sensible accounting suggests you shouldn't be able to as the giftcard shouldn't count as spent with P&S until redeemed but you never know....

Ah, well Pak & Slave had a $0.20 offer on over the weekend so we partook and filled the big car and a jerry can at that rate....73litres so $14 saved and both cars filled. We even stopped the checkout and paid at $203 and got the 20c voucher, then finished off and got another 6c voucher! .
I hadn't even thought to split it up for the petrol vouchers. You live and learn!

If you intend Shakespeare to be your destination-be aware poison drop due April. Local paper had it--Manly Butchers have details in their window

Re: Whangaparaoa Meetup
Thanks for the heads up! I shall warn my friends about it too as we go there quite often. Stanmore Bay, I think, is next on the cards. It's a bit more central
