Well, SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!! Out of a possible 110 days I worked 96 and all I can say is WOW! I have loved nearrrrly EVERY minute of it, I have been so blessed to work in some absolutely fabulous schools and witnessed some brilliant teaching! :thumbsup:

The Outlaws arrived on Tuesday night and it's lovely having them here, we've decided to book a nice lunch for Christmas Day so that nobody has any work to do, can't wait! The OH and I are probably gonna try and get away for a few days camping over New Years...nice and relaxing and being tiddly most of the time, sounds good to me! lol

Anyhoo, I just thought I'd add how proud of myself I am, even though I'm finished work I still got up @ 5am this morning and went to my hour long pump class at 5.45, I then did a further 40 minutes cardio! WOO HOO!!! LOL

Hugs to all, hope ur all ok, Jen xo :wub:

Well done, especially for the bit in bold - I average about an hour a day of cardio at gym (plus an hour a day of clinging on in commuter trains) but I could never get up at 5 even for pump purposes (fnar fnar...)

So sorry to hear that! It's not fun being responsible for a place you're not living in.

We just were told there's a problem with the hot water heater in the house we still own and rent out. "It's always something" Gilda Radner

!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!!


Just back from five lovely, relaxing days camping at Rainbow Beach/Fraser Island, we had a great time. I brought my kayak and took it out a few times, we fished, I swam in the sea, we 4WD'ed on Fraser and ate, drank and were merry in excess, like you're meant to on your hols!

It's only another 4 weeks this Sunday til we've been living in Australia for one whole year, where has the time gone?! One things for sure, we both have absolutely no regrets and are still in awe of how lovely the country and it's people are! Thanku Australia xo :wub:
