welcome...

the plan for this blog is to share our three month journey across the top end of OZ later this year, with our family and friends, most of whom live far away from us. However, it will not only be a recording of our travels, it is also a place where I will record some words and pictures of things that make me happy...just day to day "stuff" that may or may not appeal to you but does make me smile...enjoy...

Another car gadget

Andrew has totally enjoyed adding gadgets to our prado...I'm not such a fan. So far we have in Andrew words..."beautiful 70% off road, 30% road tyres....rhino rack on the roof and ARB steel bull bar( that arrives dive mins before the car).
I have just found him in the shed putting another gadget together for the car....a Jerry can holder and a shovel holder and next week he's booked it in to get spotlights... THAT'S IT! NO MORE...as a mother driving it around with all this "stuff" on the car I feel a bit silly but I'm sure i will be grateful once we're on the road in 10 sleeps!

Bathers.....check

Have ticked off another job...organized our out-of-control bathers pile on the laundry and have managed to pack what we need into one bag that is ready in the caravan....

Ikea

Had a great day today.... Only 15 sleeps to go and trying to fit in as much retail time as possible! Ikea with three other girls.... Perfect retail therapy for me. My favorite part of the day is most definitely popping the purchases around out home.... Here is a few....
Thank you Fi, Nova and Lou. X

Important stuff...

Just added a Zoe touch to the front door of our new home. Andrew has his own decoration he will be adding but mine is far more about the styling!

Getting stuff done...

We have had a great last week with visitors and now that they have gone we are feeling a little under the pump to get some stuff done in preparation for the trip in 21 sleeps.... Today I have bought and packed all the dry food and have managed to pack the boys summer clothes and winter clothes.Audrey's clothing is a little daunting....so much to sort in her wardrobe that I am leaving that for another day.
Finally feel after this start on things today that we are a bit more in control and prepared....
