Went to Tanya's crop night last night. What a quiet one - only 4 of us. Got most of a little chipboard book done for my niece Georgia and another one painted up for her sister Hayley. They were a lot easier than I thought - only big decision was what papers to use without buying any more! Need to get them finished for the Christmas postings to Australia. Am on top of things at present with Tanyas CJ finished and about to start on a couple of challenges both on SE and at the shop. Although still trying to decide what to do about swap pins - hopefully I may have my cricut next week and that would solve everything!
Took Alexia shopping this afternoon for clothes - its so tiring and what with the wheeling and dealing on her part as to who is paying for what, I'm exhausted. I think she came out on the winning side. We aren't very good at paying up on pocket money and owe all 3 of them so much its not funny - then have to pay out big lump sums which is what happened today. Mind you they haven't really been doing much to earn it lately. Andrew took Aaron to the skate park which he has been wanting to do for ages and pestering us both about it. But today was the day and he was happy - apparently only came off twice.

Rebecca went off on the bus with her 3 very good friends - Alice, Anna and Harmony to Sumner for the day. It was to celebrate Rebecca and Alice's birthdays which were actually in August right when their exams were on so they put it off till today. Anna bought them a cake and apparently they sat in a small cave on the top of Cave Rock and blew out the candles. Guess it will be of those parties that they remember for years to come. She got lots of goodies - chocolate - my favourite!
Rebecca also got a letter from the CPIT saying that she didn't get into the medical imagery course for next year. I don't think she's too disappointed and we sort of expected it as she has only just turned 17 and the only exam results she could put down were her Level 1 NCEA from last year. She will go back to school next year and do year 13 and reapply. We can ring up and find out why she was declined so may just do that to see if there is anything that will help her better for next year. It was just a bit scary to realise that this coming term would have been her last at school!!
