BACK HOME SAFE AND SOUND..

And... it's bloody freezing in our house! Steve has had all the heating off.. (idiot boy!)... so the first thing we did was turn on all the heaters... we were cold enough! The trip home was good, uneventful in fact. The motel was basic but OK.. we had breakfast at McDonalds! Their McMuffins are quite nice (wash me mouth out with soap for saying such a thing!)......


Anyways: here's a couple of photos I took of the house...

And here is the kids (and me) with the Flat Stanleys in the snow on the Desert Road:

It was bitterly cold and about to snow. In fact it was snowing by the time we got back in the car. There is a huge storm due today so luckily we came home when we did. I hope Stew can get back to Auckland tomorrow!


In Taihape there is a gift shop that has a 'year round' Christmas Room... I love going in there. In this photo the Flat Stanleys are on the Xmas Tree!

I couldn't help myself and ended up buying a few more Xmas Decorations... and some cute wee metal 'things'.... will get a photo of them on tomorrow....

For now.... I'm going to chill out and relax for a while.... I no doubt have a million blog posts to read on Goggle Reader! Will work my way through them during the week do not fear! .....

"SOMEONE" is going to die!!! I have just been down to my bedroom.... and SOMEONE has been sleeping in my bed! THEY ARE IN FOR IT..... they have even washed the pillowcases.... WHY???? And they washed then with fluffy towels obviously, cos they are NAVY BLUE and are now covered in white bits of fluff.... I AM SEETHING.... ready to have a fit in fact! Just wait till Steve gets home.......seems it was Mike! And cos I had new sheets on the bed the fluff from them came off on the pillowcases... so I suppose I shan't kill him... though why he had to sleep in our bed is beyond me! There were like 4 other beds he could have slept in.

End of Day: while it's nice to be home.... I can't wait till it's not our 'home' any more! It was such a thrill to enter our driveway and see SOLD on our sign... it took so long.

NSV: none today, and now I'm tired and going to bed. They guys are watching rugby, power to them.... nite nite.
