Lamingtons

Some time ago I was selling lamingtons for the Coral Coast Christian School. Well they are again doing a lamington fund raiser. So if you would like to purchase some lamingtons then drop me an email or leave a comment. I am sure they have the cake made and they (the parents) do the rest. And they will be as yummy as the last batch.

They are $7 for a dozen. Come on put some in your freezer or just eat them straight away. I just need to know by Wednesday 29 October so I can let the mums at the school know.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

One Week

That's right only one more week left until I start my training. Some would say that I am crazy but I am so looking forward to returning to work. I'm sure Cameron is thinking of reverse roles - me at work and him at home. Not going to happen he needs to learn how to cook.... LOL

Well best go and get the house all sorted before I loose my free days.

Busy Weekend

We have had a very busy weekend. We went camping with Bundaberg SDA Adventurers. Who you say, well it is like scouts but it is done through our church. We camped in tents at one of the leaders property. One for the boys and one for the girls. I was fortunate to be in the girls tent. (being that I am a girl I suppose) I don't think the girls got to sleep before 10pm and then they woke up at 5am.

All 7 girls needed to go to the toilet AT 5AM. I did tell them to tie it in a knot but as I was so tired I now realise I should have told them to put a peg on it. But I got out of bed and took them all to the toilet. Now you would think that since it was 5am that they would want to go back to sleep. NOOOOOOOOOOO, they decided that they needed to have a pillow fight.

Well I suppose camping is all about waking up early. But we did all have a great time. We finished up the weekend with a visit to Kelly's Beach. As you can tell from Kirsty she had a great time swimming in the sand. Yes I do think that some of the children forgot that water is for swimming in and sand is for building sand castles. ( I did tell Kirsty tonight that the police were likely to come and arrest her as she had stolen so much sand) LOL

Thank you for all your emails and phone calls.

Celebrity Sighting

Have you seen today's NewsMail......... Well I haven't but I have had LOTS of phones calls about page 17. Apparently there is a picture of me with the write up of the Fund Raiser that Petrina and Cassie are organising this Saturday at TCAC. At first I thought "What the" but now I just laugh as I think it is a bit funny.

For those that are concerned that my photo is there I have rectified the situation and it appears that Newsmail were after a photo for the story and looked on file and found this one of me from a couple of years ago so they thought it would be OK to use. I told them that I was OK with it in the end, as if it sells more tickets for this fund raiser then who really cares.

No I am not going, for those that were going to ask.

That's my MUM.......

Well my mum has now lost over 30 kgs in 5 months. Oh my goodness. Just check out how great she looks. I am still trying to find a picture of her before but as she didn't like photos taken, I'm not sure if I have one. But check out those pants that she used to fit into. You could nearly put another person in there. Way to go Mum. So proud that you have finally got there.

Go on leave mum a comment.

We're BACK.......

And can I say that the last week has been absolutely FANTASTIC...... I don't know why we haven't gone on Big Camp before. For those that don't know Big Camp is organised by our church and it is 9 days of fun, seminars, catching up with friends and being spiritually refreshed. I think I did all of these. Kirsty and Makayla were non stop the whole time. Kirsty is still talking about next year and "I wonder what they are going to do next year". While Makayla keeps saying "I go camping mummy".

I would really like to thank my friends (Nicole, Haydn, Rose to name a few) and family (Lyn and Roger) for all their support while we were away. Prior to going away I got the flu and as I was laying down for most of 8 days I ended up with an inflamed disc in my lower back. Hence I could barely walk when I got to camp. Lyn and Roger helped me set up the tent and sort out all of our gear. In the midst of doing this my 2 year old Makalya decided to go for a little look around in the DARK and got herself momentarily lost. Needless to say I was a mess. But I found her or should I say I heard her screaming about 200 metres from the tent. For the remainder of the night I kept standing on her she was that close to me. And I didn't mind one bit that she was there. And that night while we slept she bear hugged me all night. I couldn't move without her laying her arms over me or trying to ly on me all night.

Here are a few photos of our set up at Big Camp. Next year I think I'm going to take a GAS fridge, freezer, oven and anything else I can think of. We did alright considering Cameron wasn't able to be with us. Though he did come down the last weekend so he could help me pack up. Don't know what I would do with out him.

WE CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR.........

I DID IT........

Yes I finally did it. I finished my assignment. YAHOO!!!!!!! And just in time I say. Thanks to my wonderful 9 year old I got her dreaded flu. Thank goodness Cameron hasn't been sick as it has been one of the worst flu's we have had here in some time. I am still sick but thanks to drugs and Demazin 6 hour Relief I am GOING to start to feel better tomorrow.

I haven't even felt like scrapbooking - so I really must be sick. I really need to be better for Friday night so I can scrap with my friends and also better for Sunday so I can be at the Scrap Clubs Sunday scrap.

Only 10 more sleeps until we go camping for 9 days. I am now starting to look forward to our trip.

Well I'm going back to bed to have some more rest. I am getting rather sick of being horizontal....
