Our first guests

Hurrah!
We have our first guests. Real guests, not family. Family is not counted.
Mr.T’s work colleague will be flying down with his little family, on their virgin holiday. As Mr.T won’t be free to take them around, I have given them a few suggestions where they could go, for day trips. One of which [...]

Is it Spring yet?

Lately, my eyes have been getting itchy and watery. At first, I thought it was a mild cough and cold symptom, but it’s been lingering on, and it got me wondering if changing my eye creams had anything to do with it.
Then, I realised it was the emergence of spring that’s probably causing it. The [...]

Darn builders

No.2’s kinder is situated in a little but very busy commercial area. It has florists, cafes, restaurants (good ones too, if I might add), a bike shop. There is alot of traffic, cars and pedestrians.

Ending it well

There is always a reason why we need to take detours or the longer way. And, I believe, that was the case with my Westpac experience. I saved $10 off the transaction fee, doing what I needed to do.
As I promised, I did go hunting around for another bank. A bank that I would be [...]

A new car!

Oh yea..we’re getting our second car. And, guess what? We won’t pay a cent for it! Except for transfer fees, and of course, we’ll be hunting for the most affordable car insurance quotes. We’ve actually survived with just one car for almost 3 years already…why on earth did we need to get another car?

Rant : Westpac Sucks

I’ve never ever had a good experience with Westpac. I only started banking with them, because they had a branch in a mall. It was convenient, right in front of the supermarket. Easy, drop off kids, do the groceries, do the banking, go home. That’s it.
Not with this Bank. For some reason, they’ve decided that [...]

The loss of patience

Well, let me first clarify that in my earlier posts, I mentioned there was good food and then there was junk food. When you first read it, you’ll shake your head and wag your finger and tell me, “Now, it was YOUR fault in the first place for even giving the boy, junk food. IF [...]

Post (No) Dinner

How did it go? I’m sure you’ll be wondering from my previous post, how my 5 year old stuck out his ‘fasting’. With nothing but junk food for tea and dinner, he steadfastly refused to eat anything and went to bed, without anything in his tummy.
The next morning, when he woke up, he came bouncing [...]

No dinner

Yes. I sent my boy to bed without his dinner.
I have never done that in my life. Just like I’ve never done atv riding, in my life. It all started a few days ago. This grumpiness of mine. I warned my kids, don’t make me grumpy..because I get really really grumpy. For some reason..it doesn’t [...]
