Day 61 - Box Hill North Happy Birthday Hana! We hope you have a really ace day today chick x x We stayed up to see Grant turn 40 last night! It went very well, he wore a Jim Beam beanie hat and counted down from 11.30pm then stood up and cheered at midnight which was the signal for everyone else to either go home or go to bed!! Don't think too badly of us though, tomorrow night is just going to be so full on it's frightening! Anyway. We were back into the normal routine this morning with getting the school lunch boxes ready for the girls, walking the dog and clearing up after the night before!! We peeled a full massive huge enormous bag of potatoes this morning to make cheesy, cream potatoes for ... read more

Day 20 and this is the penultimate day for a guaranteed hot shower, access to fox-tel and gourmet food on demand!! Heads are a wee bit heavy this morning but we still make it out of bed for 8.15 to do the clearing up and mess about with the kids! It's straight on with the caravan this morning, cleaning the carpets, windows and putting yet more stuff away! We're doing pretty well so decide to have a go at getting the spare wheel from the car (we have 2!) under the bed in the caravan to save room in the back of the car.

Day 18 - Ding-a-ling-a-ling, it’s 7am and it’s time for walkies! Come on Henry, you’re coming today as there’s not a massive rush so we can stop for wee wee’s and other stuff and sniffing etc etc! The pace today is far more relaxed and Henry has definitely learned a lesson after the ‘attack’, he’s not so keen to go nuts at those particular dogs anymore! Back at the house and Darryl has done another grand job! He’s fed the girls breakfast, made the lunchboxes and also made sure that they’ve eaten their apple before they get ready for school! Does anyone need a “Manny” (a male Nanny)?!! There’s no way Grant will be up early today as Darryl heard him at 3am - we figure he was working til late and then fell asleep on ... read more

Day 16 - I (Sarah) had a really funny dream last night! I dreamt that Gos had bought a mini and we were taking it somewhere for him but then we swapped it for something else which could well have been a beetle!! Sorry Gos! No dreams for Darryl, not that he wants discussed on the blog anyway! Bit random but there you go! There was a little tap on the bedroom door just after 7am, it’s time for the early morning walk with Anna. We mused over whether to take Henry or not but if you fall off a horse the best thing to do is to get straight back on … so we took him! True to form when we got to the dodgy dog spot he pulled in the direction of the gate ... read more
