Wotcha!!

Monday 8th November

Not a good start to the morning....ended up with Banana Smoothie all over me. It was a combination of me putting it down on the table a little too close to Alana, and her swinging her arms wildly while playing with the Bluetac cat that I'd just made for her.
Anyway a change of clothes and a bit of a wash later, we were clean again!!

Weekend has been really miserable. Rained just about all the time. Thought I was back in the UK for a while!! I did take Alana swimming and did the supermarket shopping on Saturday morning (and got me bits done too!!!) so we were out for a while, but then we just lounged around at home for the rest of the day.
I really should have been changing the sheets, washing, cleaning, ironing etc etc., but laziness and lack of motivation kicked in and just whispered in my ear "spend the afternoon on the compooter"......so I did!!
Yesterday was pretty bad too. Couldn't even be bothered going to the gym...gasp!!!

We got woken up at some stupid hour of the night on Saturday. Alana had lost Sad Cashew...big drama!! The fact that she had Happy Cashew made no difference to her. I did get up and have a look for it, but couldn't find it so went back to bed.
Alana was having none of it, and kept us awake for another 1/2 hour with her yelling (literally) from her bedroom, "I wan't Sad Cashew". It was funny at first, but then it got monotonous, and then really annoying!! In the end Nick told her to go and look for it herself, which she did. She couldn't find him either, so ended up going back to bed without him....and found him the next morning sitting in her chair!!

The only highlight of the weekend was talking to Jules yesterday, and buying a bottle of Jack Daniels on Saturday!! Helsy, sorry but I had to be out the door early on Saturday so couldn't chat. I did try to log onto Skype early but the stupid thing keeps locking up the computer so I gave up in the end!! I have a feeling it's because we are on Windows ME and it's not really compatible with it!

Nick has now finished doing the Driving Job. Even on his last day (Saturday) he did nearly 12 hours....ridiculous, especially when he doesn't get paid overtime at all. So he's back to looking after the house at the moment (which he does a fabulous job of) and looking for something new!

Hope you all enjoyed the fireworks, especially the Woking ones. Really miss them over here, but we're hoping to go to the big ones on the Yarra River on New Years Eve if Alana can stay awake that long!!!
