Home we go...

Farewell beautiful Australia... We have had a wonderful time here.

We fly home tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited!!  Going back to what I know, and the familiarity of where I grew up .

E is looking forward to his new job, although he is fairly nervous....

Harry has had terrible behavior as he is so unsettled but hopefully that will ease off when we get back and into a new routine.

Will post plenty of pictures of our new life when we get back.

Official

Well it's official.  We are moving home on the 1st September!!!

I am pretty happy, and cannot wait to be back around family!!

I will be sad to say goodbye to all my lovely friends I have made here, but I am really looking forward to sinking my teeth into settling in NZ!!!

Can Opener

Never in my life have I owned a decent can opener....

We have for 5 years, struggled with a crappy can opener, yet we have never gone and bought a proper one.  Actually, I did buy Elwic one for our anniversary this year.... go on... laugh..... it was a whole $5 from Kmart, and it broke on his first try... (this was his only anniversary present by the way)


Some of you may speculate that we are at fault with our opening style, but this is not the case..


The opener does not grip properly, and slips all over the place.... I end up with major indents in my fingers from gripping the basterd so tight..... I then call Elwic in to help me, who proclaims that he has had a hard day, and he cannot cope with the opener tonight.....  (its like dealing with a tantruming child)

Tonight I really wanted tin fruit......

This was the end result.....  It took 2 of us, a fair amount of cursing, stabbing the tin, and me telling the halved apricots in juice that they should feel pretty flattered that I have gone to so much effort to eat them....
Elwic told me that I have to go out to the shop tomorrow and spend $50 on a new opener... he can't cope anymore...

Can opener.... you can go to hell......

Can anyone help?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my header ^^^^  to line up properly....

Is there anyone who could help?  It would be much appreciated!!!

Change of plans

Well we decided that we want baby number 2...  Thats great, and that is decided.... but we have also decided to just wait a little bit long until I get my breast reduction.

Yes a reduction.   I have  incredibly oversized boobs ( since I was a teenager) and they cause me so many problems....

Although its not totally ideal to do it before we have another baby, I just couldn't fathom the 9 months of back pain and extra pressure on my upper half from too much boobage... lol

So I am going to try and loose some more weight, and then once we are back in NZ, and settled I will have my reduction.  CANT WAIT!!!!

Really need to do a post on my little Harry... Who by the way is being the most gorgeous child in the world, and totally nothing like a terrible 2...... I am NOT complaining ;)
