What have you been doing today?

[K Atie]

Well first week of school done and a trip to Melbourne on Thursday for DD dentist appointment. Now I may have just had a little meltdown, one questions why life tests us ! When DD had her braces off they put a wire behind her top front teeth and glued it down , cement . So while we had dinner a piece of the glue came of at the end of the wire . Just emailed the Dentist practice with photo and will contact them Monday , I know we will have to go back . I just am taking deep breaths and wait. It will be OK hopefully a quick fix . Think I am just over the driving at the moment and frustrated as nothing else is getting done .

It sounds as though you had a horrible day KAtie so take care of yourself.😘

Went shopping with DS. He downloaded some garden vouchers from a garden center website that entitled us to a free tomato plant each. The variety was Gardeners Delight. He also bought a cucumber plant.

K Atie, poor you and DD.  Yes the driving can get to you as other stuff is put on the back burner.  Try to relax over the weekend.
We are going to  pickup 6 new Chookie girls.   They are 18 weeks old and should begin to lay at around 21 weeks.  We will sneak them in to roost tonight

DH and DD are having a duel on their iPads. They are checking out cars to buy!!! DH has been looking at old Jaguars and even a 1937 Rolls Royce. (All of which look great) and DD is looking at 1970-1980 Lamborghini’s. It’s easy to see they are related.

Yes a chip off the old block for sure.  You have no room for anymore cars cookie, are they serious about buying?  Good win by your boys again tonight.

[K Atie]

Chookie are you putting them in with other chooks ? What bread did you get ? Yesterday we had DS hockey and then I had lunch out with girlfriends,as we are pre organizing our girls weekend away to Castlemaine . It's hard to get 6 girls on a road trip , the collecting up of us into two cars . Off to hockey for DD this morning, DS has gone to do a farm job then back to go with us to hockey game he will no doubt want lunch too !

Hopefully not Judy. We will have to have high rise parking. Perhaps we could convert DD's block to parking only. (she has decided not to build again!!!!)
The footy was interesting, we played poorly in the last half. Not sure what is going on. All across the AFL teams are going up and down, except perhaps for Geelong and maybe Collingwood.

[judydawn]

My team always goes up and down cookie but a win is a win no matter how they play. Collingwood will be hard to beat this year.

K Atie, over the years we have tried both putting them in at night and slowly introducing them.  Not much difference. As there were 8 new girls and 4 old ones, we put them in at night.  There is a bit of sorting out going on but nothing to worry about. At 18 weeks they should be able to cope. We don’t like to buy new girls until they are at least this age.

I had my hair cut today.

Cooking for Mother’s Day lunch.  Making double batch of Portuguese Custard Tarts.   Made custard yesterday.  Make cheese sauce for Cauliflower.  Make Ratatouille.

To school reunion last night and home to quite house , haha. Meanwhile DD hockey game was last night and DS’s game is this am !

Compared to you K Atie I had a quiet day. DD and I went shopping. I bought a pair of jeans. We had a coffee, came home. Dh got back from seeing his Mum and then DD decided we needed a new tv that she can hook into wifi. I thought she was going to put it into the theatre, however it is now being set up in the family room. A new tv to watch the footy on tonight.
