Howdy all! Well here are a few pics - Christmas, Mia's christening, first day of school and THE PONY!!! The kids have never gotten so much done before school!! After making up a job / price list I am now broke, but my toilet is clean, shed is tidy, kids rooms are clean, dishes put away etc! For those not in the know, Reilly got a pony for her birthday, and the list contains how much money they get for each job they do. Lessons from Belinda cost $10, so bums are cleaning all over the shop!!!!!!!! Apparently everyone except me knew that Neville and Jill were planning on getting her a pony. Mmmmmm. After everyone had demonstrated how quiet she was, I got on, and it was the first time she had moved out of ... read more
