Well we did finally go and buy 2 cars today, after getting up ridiculously early this morning. For a weekend, you’d have thought we’d be up late, but no, we were all up by 7am, what’s that about??? The sun’s shining, temperatures rising and once one person’s up, we’re all up here, it’s so echoy, and as the bedrooms are all off the main living area you can hear everything, so up we were. Anyway, Mark & I were off to the garage to test drive the 2 cars, having decided overnight that we really didn’t need the Aurion with a 3.6 engine so our first job was to convince the salesman of that. Having finally convinced him, we eventually bought a Toyota Camry and Yaris. Three hours it took... first the test drives, then sorting out our driver numbers, then signing the contracts, then we got passed to someone else to sort out any extras and additional warranties, and finally someone else to pay the deposit!!! Did you ever, we only wanted to buy a car! So we were very good and only bought extra protection finish for the car to prevent damage to the paintwork by the sun and fruit bat poo!! We got the windows tinted for free J which stops arm burns (from the sun that is). Having eventually made it home we had a leisurely lunch and afternoon. Although feeling guilty for not exploring some of Brisbane, we decided to just have a leisurely walk around the area and show the kids the show houses, which in hindsight was probably a bad idea, but they can dreamJ we’ve also got a bit of a reserve at the back of the estate, which made an entertaining stroll – Josh trying to find some snakes / creepy crawlies and Rebecca jumping every time she brushed a blade of grass!!
Anyway, we came back and started looking at plots of land as having driven around the nearest one to Forest lakes (where we are) we discovered that a lot of the best plots get sold first, so we need to get on the case and decide the area. Having said that, the kids have decided that they would like to stay in the same area which leaves us minimal choice, but we’ll do some exploring and then make a decision.
One potential problem was that I got a message left from AHPRA (nursing registration board) yesterday evening to say they had finally got my paper work from the Brisbane office but there was a problem with it and it was incomplete. So I need to contact them first thing Monday to sort it out.
So feeling better after a day not rushing around, we’re ready to try another church and attempt IKEA tomorrow, and watch some dvd’s this evening.
