I asked him if they had a toilet on the train (I was busting for a pee) and he said "No sorry, we don't have any TRAINS on board" ... then we all cracked up cos I am SURE there were no trains ON THE TRAIN! He was a really lovely man. We gave him a hard time, and I told him I was going to put him on me blog!

Today (Monday)... we are going out to find a portable wardrobe thingee for her flat in Kerikeri.... and I need some paua shell buttons from Spotlight...
The girls and I did a mini-dash out ... left 5 kids with Andrew! LOL
Got the few things on our list.... home now and just chilling.... WELL... I'm not!
I have folded up and put away all the bedding, dragged the mattress's down into the garage again, tidied the house, done the dishes, cleaned out the fridge, made the lunch... you get the drift!
Lacy has left for Kerikeri... a long drive for her. Amanda and Andrew and boys are leaving this afternoon, which only leaves Kelly and Rena... who are leaving tomorrow! Phew... it's been busy.
Hee hee... I fell asleep on my lounge chair holding Rena... who was also asleep... APPARENTLY I snore. Pfffffft.... I DO NOT! Do I?
End of Day: I'm pooped! Dinner is left over meatloaf and veges... nice and easy. I hope to have a relaxing, quiet evening! Will be back to 'normal' blog reading/commenting tomorrow afternoon! nite nite.

Thats one tough winter you've got going on, all that green and people out in short sleeves. I really envy you! Looks like you've had a good time with the family. Hope you don't find the house too quiet after everyone leaves.
