It is finally all wrapped and ready to go.

Kids are getting excited about the big day on Thursday. This year is great because they have all purchased some gifts for each other with the money that they have saved. Great!!

Putting an oval 14ft trampoline together with the three kids and the dog supervising was interesting. Needless to say, once they could jump on it, all work was abandoned. Will have to finish it off on boxing day I think.

FINALLY got to use the air conditioner..... yeah baby.... what a ripper

Missy had her hair done today and Alex is having hers done tonight. Really turning into a bit of a girly household. Poor Zak.... he escaped to his bedroom to watch Nemo!!

I am quite loking forward to the kids making a HUGE mess on Christmas morning and having 'stuff' everywhere. Its gunna be fun.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy christmas.

The shed is clean!!!! What a cleansing experience.

Latest news........ Air conditioner is being installed...... WOO HOO......... by this time tomorrow I will be able to heat and COOL the house. Of course now that the thing is in.... it is going to be cool for the next couple of days. Ahhh Murphy's Law is a funny thing.

Went for a driving lesson in the fire truck on the weekend..... its been a while since I have driven the truck, but it was good. Didn't forget where the gears were ;-)

Have been a little busy of late.... I have a daily appointment with a wee little foal called Shilo. She is a few weeks old and has been learning about being handled and wearing a head stall and walking on a lead. Imagine a little puppy on the leash for the first time, when they roll around on the floor and drag backwards etc.... now picture the same kind of behaviour, but with a small horse thats back comes up to your waist. It is quite amusing. She is coming along well and is coping ok with being handled. The mother of course thinks it is great.... a babysitter for an hour each day! She just chomps on her food and wanders around the paddock, not a care in the world.

Kids are all doing well and the little fella is talking a mile a minute (in his own way) and has developed a little bit of attitude. When I call him, he arrives in front of me and says "yer". Cheeky little bugger!!

Missy and her lizard are firm friends and it is not uncommon for me to get to give both her and Bert a good night kiss. He is a funny little dude... likes to have a cuddle while I am at the computer and likes to have a run down the hallway.

Teenager is doing ok, her and the boyfriend are joined at the mobile phone lol Always texting day and night. Even if they have spent the day together.... awwww its cute. (Dare not say that to her though)

One of these days I am going to get to bed at a decent hour.....tonight is not looking good, and I wont hold my breath for tomorrow lol

A clean shed is the reward from a day of chucking out all the stuff you accumulate over time with the 'might need that one day' mentality. Well after a day of cleansing and a trailer full of JUNK to prove it, I am now the proud owner of a clean organised shed.

Nothing like chucking out stuff (AKA Junk, Rubbish and missing lids) and sweeping and sorting out to make a therapist be unemployed. lol There is something quite theraputic about getting rid of dirt, dust, junk, stuff you havn't seen for years and stuff you can't beleive you kept.

Next time someone tells me that they think they need to see a shrink...... I will highly reccomend cleaning out the shed. Also, if all gose to plan.... it will eleviate insomnia, as not only will you be bloody knackered from moving all the stuff around, but getting sneaky and chucking out some of the kids stuff at the same time is to be considered a little tricky.

First the shed......

now who knows what else will be sorted, cleaned and de-junked??!!
