Happy Birthday Claire!

Happy birthday to my younger, prettier, funnier, and skinnier sister ( bitter? moi?!) and favourite aunt to my children. Hope 19 is a good year for you Clairebear and you have a fantastic birthday and get thoroughly spoiled :) We all love and miss you lots, sending big birthday kisses your way xxxxx

We're having a movie day today; i promised Leah that i would find the movie Flipper for her as i thought she'd like it, in keeping with her current obsession. We scoured a few of the main video shops but didn't find it, then we went to a little one today and it was there on dvd, so we're having Flipper and popcorn and hot chocolate with marshmallows; perfect for a rainy day.

The new car is fantastic; sooo nice to be able to sit up the front and not all be squished in the back. We're going to Rotorua tomorrow to visit Anne and Des for the weekend and to see my friend Sarah, so it's going to be a very pleasant journey indeed; one where i have legroom and more than a couple of millimetres either side of me, woo hoo!!
