Awww that sig is gorgeous!

We're still having dramas with schools. The small school said they can't take the kids so I rang another big school and the woman there said I need to wait until Tuesday to talk to anyone. Tuesday? School starts on Wednesday! That leaves me no time to get uniforms etc, plus if they say no then we're really stuffed! They can always go back to their old school I guess but we had so many dramas with that school I don't want them going there if I can help it. But I feel like we've let our kids down as they don't know where they're going- especially feel that with Daynie, being his first year at big school. sad.gif Fingers crossed we hear something asap.

I'm taking the kids out today- firstly to get Hannah some new clothes and swimmer nappies, then take these three to the pool. I'd love to take them to the beach but don't think I can drive that far at the moment plus carrying Hannah and a bunch of bags etc on my own is tricky! Ah well, I'm sure we'll have a fun day either way. biggrin.gif

Annika- you are so great at doing sigs! How do you cut around the person? What tool/technique do you use? I'm hopeless at it, can never get it right on the lines, there must be an easier way!

Charlene- I hope you're having fun up in Coffs! We'll have to catch up when you get back biggrin.gif

Rach- isn't it nice to have your house set up the way you want? We were given the two lounges in our back lounge and one is a sofabed, so its come in handy SO many times and made that room much better than when we just had one cr*ppy lounge in there! Hope you're feeling better today

Kim- I'll try and drop the cup in to you in the next few days. We're going to Denman on Saturday and go thru Rutherford on the way, so I might drop it in then. If you're not home I'll leave it in your mailbox or something!

That's all the personals I can see. Hope you all have a great day!

x Kate

Hi girls

Well we have had a crazy day so far.

We dropped DH off at work at 7.30, so it was a huge effort to get there before then! wink.gif Then we drove to Salamander Bay to get the bikes for the boys birthday. My friend laybyed one of them for me there but the lady couldn't find it... rant.gif - so thankfully there were 2 bikes in stock so I just bought them.

Then we went to Greenhills - Aldi, Big W and Woollies and did our groceries. Terribly exciting as always! wink.gif

I actually am testing out a fruit & veg shop that delivers. I got my first delivery today and the stuff looks great!! So if anyone wants to try it out here is the link:
Banana Barn

If you put your order in by 11pm you will receive it the next day! I put mine in like 9.30 last night and it was delivered at midday today! original.gif

Annika - Great sig!! I am going to email you some piccies and when you get a chance can you do my boys a 3rd birthday siggie please!!! hands.gif I have 2 weeks til their birthday, but I know how flat out you are! wink.gif

Kat - That sucks about the schools! sad.gif Are you looking at Maitland Primary - or could you go out to Paterson? I don't know how far it is out to Paterson from your place, but my nieces both go to Paterson and love it.

Anyhow better go - plenty to do as always

Well I'm exhausted! Normally my energy levels and my foot let me do about a few hours of something a day, and today I've really pushed the limits. We started off going to Maitland Pool, but Hannah didn't like how cold the water was so kept running off to the playground instead! Thankfully two of Baileys friends (twins) were there with their vacation care and they adore Hannah so they kept following her everywhere and taking her in the kiddy pool!

Then we went to Maitland Primary to see if we can get the kids in there. The Principal was there so we filled out the forms, but as we're out of zone we have to wait until Tuesday to find out. Fingers crossed on that one hands.gif
Then over to Woodberry to drop some ceramics off, then up to Paterson park for a play. But I forgot that park isn't very toddler friendly so I had to climb on everything with Hannah... hence why I'm exhausted!

But it was great to have a day out with the kids like normal mums do! grin.gif But I've rung Matt and told him to pick up pizza (yes Dominos laughing2.gif ) on the way home as I'm too buggered to cook!

Annika- thanks, I'll have to practice! I just didn't know if there's an easy way to do it, but sounds like its pretty fiddly either way, but worth doing right. Oh, and I have Photoshop 7 but mainly use Photoshop CS3, as it lets you use actions.

Rach- I'd be cranky about the bikes too, lucky those other ones were there! We're getting Liv a bike for her birthday (7th Feb). I've put money aside for it but with her birthday and school uniforms etc I was thinking its going to be a tight fortnight- now she's just hit me with the idea of having a big Maccas party! I haven't budgeted for a party because she already said she didn't want one! ohmy.gif Arrgghh to kids changing their minds lol

Not sure if Bailey's coming home tonight (they said today or tomorrow) but SIL is a neat freak and I hate having the place a mess when she comes over (she doesn't care but I do!) so I better go clean up.

x Kate
