I've done too much shopping of late. Well I've enjoyed it. We've bought two Samsung smart TV's, netflix (loving orange is the new black waiting for next season, orphan black! , suits and Kimmy Schmidt for something light hearted), $500 worth of clothes at myer for kids, DH and me @ 40% off thanks to their friends and family of myer and about to get a new front alloy fence for home.

It sounds like you have been busy shopping INAID.

DD give her fiancée a ladder to put on the window so DD can get out easily to elope.

LOL DD Hmm Money, fuel and ladder. Maybe offer a filled picnic basket (with champagne) to close the elopement deal?

I have an Apple watch 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) It is a peace offering from DH because he pulled out all my beautiful chrysanthemums just as they were beginning to flower  >:( :(  :'( . All has been forgiven ;) Love the watch!

We are also in the process of buying a property in central Qld which has been quite time-consuming. Never a dull moment here.

I recently bought myself some new costume jewellery and so I thought that I would try my hand at making a home for them. Whilst I can sew, I am not in the least crafty but I was happy with my made over photo frame come jewellery hanger.

You most certainly are crafty Kylie. Looks great and very practical.

Sadly we are not relocating to Qld, just buying a small acreage as a retirement option. My sister will live there in the meantime.

We're planning some long distance travel next year (youngest DS finishes HSC this year) so watch out Cookie. We may be tailing you through the NT and Qld via Gertie's place ;D

We have a National Model A rally in Darwin next year and friends who want us to come to FNQ with them. So we may combine the two. If we come up your way we won't miss calling on you, guaranteed.  ;D

Ooh Gayle that would be lovely to catch up somewhere. Mich are you planning any trips next year?
