The tide is high..and the beach is calling.


The easter break is coming up in two weeks time and I will have the friday, saturday, sunday and monday off which will be lovely. Stevie needs to work the saturday, but we were looking at possibly going to Bribie Island on the saturday night for two nights, returning back to Brisbane for the Monday. I'm going to Bribie on sunday after I go to the markets with my Mum and Aunty Di for the day, so we will check out if there will still be any accomodation left.
Stevie is all up for caravaning now, hes a resident caravan fiend and wants to stay in one, so Ive been checking out sites, theres two 4 star ones in Bribie, http://www.bribieislandcaravanpark.com.au/ and http://www.bongareecaravanpark.com.au/bribie_island.html and they are both pretty well priced. They are about $35 per night for a powered caravan with annex which is only about 15 pounds!
On Anzac day which is the 25th of April, a Tuesday, is a public holiday aswell, and I think we are going to go down to Pottsville for the Monday, Tuesday night returning home for Wednsday night. I just need to ask (plead) with my boss for it off~ I've done 7 hours overtime this week, and am already about $2000 over my target for the week and still have tommorow to go, so I should be in the good books! I better be!
Stevie and I got our brand spanking new medicare cards, and our private health insurance cards in the post today, all shiny and new! In the next few weeks we will need to arrange car liscences so that when Judy and Jim and the girls come over hint hint...we can drive them around! I went home the back way today and I was amazed at the beautiful houses around us at Alderley, so many massive lovely wood Queenslanders. The weather has changed in the last two weeks, this last week with the cyclone we have got a few bursts of pouring rain at night and supposedly this weekend will be very big surf, its definatly alot milder now, about 26 degrees and at night we just have the fan on, stevie even gets a lil cool with it on! I wouldnt have ever had thought Id hear that! Stevie cold in Oz.
We had a really nice dinner tonight, huge amounts of singapore noodles and stirfry with steak (for dad and stevie) and prawns together with thin noodles. We also had 12 handmade vegie spring rolls from the local store for $5 bargain!
Its really bad working across from Darrell Lea chocolate shop, the lady who works there is really loud and has a wicked laugh and everytime I walk past she shoves chocolate eggs in my mouth. Today I went in there for some chocolate coated honeycomb as we both luurrrve it and she gave me a whole heap of freebies!

We have a really busy week next week, Tuesday night we are going out to see the Bouncing Souls with all these tattoo guys, Wednsday haircut and specialist day, Thursday night we are going to a ..all you can eat seafood place on Suttons beach called Morgans, and Friday night we are going to the Everton Hotel which has karaoke with mum, dad and a whole other group and saturday night we have a party to go to, my aunty lorraine's best friend, Jenny which means probably alot of spring rolls! Yum and drunken new guinean dancing!
We'll thats about it for now! Adios xoxoxo
