Its been so long!

I can't believe its been six months since I last blogged....seems Facebook has taken over as my means of communicating with family and friends. So much has happened in the intervening months. In November we travelled to Victoria for Evan & Tahnee's wedding, staying at our time share in Numurkah.....had a great week there, then it was back to Wellington for Mums 90th birthday, she looked gorgeous on the day and there were little windows of recognition....so glad we had this party as Mum sadly passed away on January 8th. Christmas seemed to come and go very quickly. Dylan spent 10 days with us .... his Christmas present from us, bought his ticket thru Tiger Airlines however when Heather went to check him in he was refused a flight as he was a minor...this happened at the same time Tiger flew a 13 year old girl from Melbourne to the Gold Coast then a week later refused to take her back...Tiger has since changed their booking site to prevent tickets being purchased for unaccompanied minors, however they are unobtainable by phone and do not respond to registered mail and my complaint to Fair Trading was a waste of time.....I got the impression the girl who was to deal with it just couldn't be bothered....I'm planning on going to visit my local member of Parliament next. Bill and I had a weeks holiday in Cairns where the weather was a lot kinder this year - the area south had had floods the week prior and roads were still cut so the supermarkets shelves were almost empty.....not a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable to be had for the first 4 days we were there. Finally got to do my train trip to Kuranda....really enjoyed it, there was still plenty of water going over the Barron Falls, very spectacular. Football time again.....my Doggies not going so well the past two weeks and have another tough game coming up.....just hate it when they lose to Carlton! Sold my 1000th Backyard Buddy on Friday, its really tough going at the moment with the ecconomic downturn, but we still keep plugging along. Robyn and I have started our new venture......well part of it, by opening an Vstore on Oztion, its called RV Designs.....more to come but what is a secret for the time being. Also studying to open up an internet business - just havn't had much spare time recently to even look at it, nor to do any scrapbooking. Hopefully it won't be quite as long before I find time to Blog again.....till then take care...and Go Doggies!
