I don't have to imagine it I've done it when you whack your clutch foot on the brake instead of the non existent clutch whilst still having the other foot on the accelerator, it's a quick way to whip lash and a meeting with the windscreen...

ok, so maybe it's not as cold as the UK, but I was waking to frosts every morning whilst in Christchurch and I haven't seen one of them since I left the UK almost 2 years ago, so it was cold by my standards!!
I loved all the places we went to: Auckland, Rotorua, (although a bit smelly!)Nelson and Hanmer. Didn't get any further South than Christchurch as had to come home.

Apparently the smell in Rotorua is piped in for the tourists.

i could do with a good holiday to clear my head ... ooops, forgot just had one!
well, since my last post our visa journey has gone t##s up yet again!!!!
with the changes coming in on 1st sept, my oh has to sit an ielts test to get the 25 points we need to pass the points test. unfortunately hes not the academic type and doesnt feel confident he would pass it so its back to square one.
we are debating going on a temp visa with me getting a job through an agency so we can be out there next summer then applying for pr once i satisfy the specific work exp rule so, im starting back at work as near to full time as i can, and it looks like it will be another year before we can apply now seeing as i havent been working regularly for the last couple of years
jeeeez, if we ever get a visa it will be a bluddy miracle!!
