Well dont the weeks fly past when your having fun. We bought our own house and move in on the 28th september, cant wait, altho it means packing it all up AGAIN!!!! Mark & I booked tickets to go and see Snow patrol on the 14th. We are meeting Jo & Darren in Auckland and making an evening out of it. The kids have been practising cross country and did the real one yesterday, out of Jadens age group he came 2nd and Bj came 11th. I have started running on a Monday night with some people that I have met, I would like to do the half marathon being held at the end of October but not sure if the timeframe would allow me, I shall see. I completed my four week course at the Alcahol & Drugs course and can now honestly say with my hand on heart that yes I'm an alcaholic, and that girls YOU ARE ALOWED TO HAVE A DRINK EVERY NIGHT and not save it to Friday night and have a binge but we all knew that right girls? My tutor says so and what she says is gospel. So got my certificate now, so ask me anything? Ha h

One more week and then its spring did we just have winter? Todays temp was 21. Altho having to move in a bit we feel very much settled, wouldn't call it quite like home yet but definitely feel that we did the right thing, Carly actually said yesterday 'Do you know I don't think of Cornwall very much these days unless someone brings it up' She is so much happier, and doing alot more and ssh but she has a boy-friend, (you know a friend who happens to be hot) Moria if your reading this your emails keep bouncing back at me as with alot of emails that I'm sending out to others and I dont know why so can you email me so I can reply as I have deleted most of my messages. Anyway peeps have you all had a good summer holiday? I'm genuinely asking! Speak soon Mum, love and miss you and cant wait to see you in 70 days and 12 hours 15 mins 10seconds.

Update

I cant believe I have completed 4 weeks at work, I'm going out tomorrow to visit a new family on my own, I'm still enjoying it as well. We have bought a new house and move in on the 28th Sept and now I cant wait. I'm so excited just in time for Mum to help me move in ha ha. Carly has taken up shooting clay pigeons, OMG!!!!!!!! We had parent/teacher meeting and they are pleased with Billie-jo & Jaden, jaden's teacher said her challenge is to keep Jaden challenged. he is the yougest of 18 children, and is keeping up with them, apart from pulling threads of carpet he should be ok. They are also picking up the accent and omg jaden says 'sweet as' or he will say eh on the end of almost everything, we cant stop laughing at him, and they all have had a growth spurt, Billie-jo has gone all leggy, good job summer is just around the corner so she can wear her trousers as 3 quarter lengths, ha ha. Paige has been chosen to play soccer at an Accademy so she is really wrapped about that, training is twice a week.
