Just a quick post

Well we are finally on broadband thanks to TelstraClear. Everything seems a lot faster!
Unfortunately our puppy Tank needs surgery for his eye. He has what they term as Scrolling Eye. It basically means his third eyelid is pushing his brown bit of eye up higher so we can see more white underneath it. I'm not sure how they fix it but surgery is the only option.
Our fridge broke down as well. Thanks to friends we have one now but for a few days we've had our milk sitting in the sink in cold water and our cheese etc in a chilly. Our lovely neighbors have had our excess milk in thier fridge. We're not sure how much it's going to cost to fix. Hopefully not much. The fridge we just got last night has had to go in the garage and we have to unlock the garage to get stuff out!
Well they say things come in three's, we have had some misunderstandings with the council regarding our rates so now we owe quite a large sum!! Like Emily's speech last year - we wish money grew on tree's!
We've just had Sarah-Jane's 8th birthday! So grown up, although she is still very much a young girly girl. She loves playing with her Polly Pockets and dolls. Emily is turning 10 on St Patricks Day. She's going through that awkward stage where she's not into dolls etc, but not quite a teen. She tends to play alone quite a bit at home, but the girls all love playing schools. She starts netball in a week or two. She's very excited, as we are, it's good to see her involved in something outside of school. Terry has tried to 'coach' her but I reminded him of when he tried coaching me at golf, it's not good to coach family at times - this is one of those times!
The girls have today off school due to parent-teacher conferences, they get half day tomorrow too. It's rather annoying in the way that my routine is a bit mixed up now and I have to go talk to the teachers about 'dreams, goals and achievements'. They've only just started school and we have no idea what their achievements are so far. Never mind we'll see what happens.
Well it's gone lunchtime and we're hungry. Love to all.
