New Desk





I absolutely love my new second hand desk from Trademe (Ebay equivalent). Sealed the deal at $31. It is perfect for the office. It is deep enough to study for hours and there is easily space for 2 people. Last year I had to fight for the laptop and desk space when homework was due. No worries now, we can have happy family study times with no arguments or stress.....ha ha. What do you think? Apologies for Paul's pose!!

Auckland Wintergarden






On Friday Paul and I packed our bags and escaped to Auckland. Luckily for us Mum and Dad didn't have a car to give chase. We had a great time sightseeing and visiting all of the shops without hearing the words "no mum, this shop is the same as the last one".

We had a great time at the Sky Tower. The views were amazing as were the cocktails!
