Well blow me down but as soon as we got home the post person came with the adsl thingy and Tim got it all sorted out quite quick and we were up and running! Most of you know as i have emailed you to let you know. I am still on MSN and so we can all talk online if i can manage to stay up late!!
We are also on Skype but i am not sure what my name is apart from the obvious!! (we could not find me even though i am registered! but Tim has registered so you can contact through him if you look up Tim Trim and add us to your contacts.
We alsoo got an array of xmas cards from people and my magazine that Tracey managed to get to me even though she is full of baby in her tummy. So big thanks to Aunty Lorna for her xmas card and Avril for her xmas card and new home card! we have quite a few which is shocking as we did not expect any at all and now we have loads!
We have managed to play table tennis without falling out (mostly missing the ball and running to get it before Roxy and Cooper eat it!). We are waiting for John to come around and teach us how to play properly!
The pool has had to have more treatment (regular thing but we are not used to mixing all these chemicals) so in went all the stuff and managed to do it even though the sun was burning down on my back and all i wanted to do was jump in !
Another few days of running around trying to sort things out for the dogs this time, Cooper had to have his jabs and worming tablet (which was quite shocking, will let you know more later!). We then had to take Roxy today Wednesday 13th Dec as she has a lump in her ear (not sure if an insect or something bit her).
Cooper had his tablet and out came a huge mass of worms Yuk!! gag! vomit! he even got one stuck in his bottom and i tried to pull it out gentley but could not, Tim tried and eventually Cooper rubbed his bottom on ground and it came out! (hope none of you are eating while reading this!). So we decided that after he was licking us all over the face that we should treat ourselves as well so off to the late night chemist (as we could not wait.....just the sight of those worms).
As i walked up to chemist i say this guy looking as my chest and thought, your cheeky, then realised as i looked down Cooper had been playing in the garden and was wet from the hose and i had cuddled him in the car on the way to chemist and my left breast was wet, very wet, in fact it looked like it was leaking! So i had to explain to the chemist that i did not have a leaky breast and that i wanted some worming tablets for us !!! UMM! wondered why Tim wanted to stay in the car with the dog!
I am getting to drive the car more now as Tim wants to cuddle the dog wherever we go, as we are not too sure of Roxy yet alone with Cooper as she might eat him as a lunch snack!
They seem to be getting on really well and playing lots so it is quite a relief in a way.
Everything seems to be slowing down for Xmas apart from all the shopping! its mad even here people just seem to spend ! We are just buying hoses, lawn seed and post boxes!
Today all the sockets were sorted out by Colin the husband of Robyn who owns the gift shop called Tinkerbells in Torquay! She is so nice and very friendly thank goodness, we even phoned her about which vet to take the dogs to! So we are now well lit with bedside lights (if i can manage to stay awake!). Cooper & Roxy are waking us up at midnight, 2am, 4am and then up for breakkie at 6am! if its not them its the birds who sing outside our window to get their breakkie!
It will be nice to get all the jobs need to be done on the house out the way by the new year so we can concentrate on jobs and getting money in! Tim does not seem to know what he wants to do, changing weekly from postie to policeman to handyman to web designer........ the list goes on and on! He has had one tab for his phone number pulled from the 2 posters he put out! not very exciting in the promising work list!
At least i know i will have a course running in the new year in the UK and will get money in that way (which will probably earn me more than i would earn in Oz in 6 months, no wonder all the Ozzies come to the UK for work!).
We have sorted out the final bedroom with a sofa bed ready to use !
There have been a number of little things we have bought for the outside dunny which looks more and more homely than the rest of the house as we have very little of our personal stuff yet! the shippers are very slow here and they have not given us a date for delivery so it looks like we might not get our stuff until next year!! that means they would have had it since 14th Nov !! Talk about go slow out here, they are not the fastest workers! much to our surprise!
As we only have my laptop Tim is now hovering to do some blog or just look at ebay he has done well without internet but is now showing huge signs of withdrawal so i will have limited time on line until his pc comes and then we will both be on line writing blogs and sending applications for jobs!
ok feeling sleepy now so will sign off and let Tim write a bit, i will try and read one more page of the book that i have been reading forever!
big luv to all
Y
