Hallo again,

Just loaded a few more piccies on here if you fancy a nosy. Mostly baby pics, as my mum has sent us some more photos ( yes she does love photos!!) also I have put on a picture of my new blonde hair.

Decided one rainy Sunday afternoon to bleach it! Was not much fun and had to have orange/green hair for two weeks to rest it until the hairdresser would do it properly! And no I will never learn before you ask! Still a bit orange at the front but that will come out the next time I get it done.

Auntie Beryl – new job is good thanks, I am still enjoying it. They have given me some training here, still no word as to when they will send me to Sydney. I am starting to think that was something they told me at interview just to make me start!
Mark starts at 6 but finishes at 4pm, so is usually fast asleep on the sofa when I get home at 7.30pm!! I do get Fridays off as well as Saturday afternoon and Sunday so I don’t mind really.

The house on the pictures is the backpackers where we were staying. I have taken pictures of our new house but someone (ahem ..Mark) has lost the cable to connect it to the pc, so at the moment I can’t load them. Hopefully I will get to put them on a disk soon.

The weather is now really cold, we have had some snow in the North island, and lots of snow in the South island, and we are itching for a ski soon, just waiting for the snow to really build up and then we will be off!

We are going to a comedy festival tonight and then there is a sausage festival in Aotea square, so hopefully will get a few sausages for tea!! Tomorrow I am meeting up with friends from my last job for lunch, then Mark and I will be off to the cinema I think. We are on an alcohol detox this month and are trying really hard not to have anything, as it feels like that is all we have done for the past 9 months!!

Other than that I havent got much news I afraid, we are both quite homesick still, and I like to read the bbc website every week to keep me up to date! If anyone fancies sending us some teabags again I would be grateful!! I will pay for them!! ( 33 Richmond Avenue, Northcote, Auckland, NZ)

***Perhaps not you Laura, as you nearly gave yourself a heat attack last time, naughty smuggler that she is wrote ’soft toy’ on the envelope when it was tea bags in, then got worried about being arrested as a drug dealer when the xray the bag hehe!!***

Hope you all ok, lots of love from team kiwi!
