Hi everyone sorry I've not posted for a while it has been a year or so since I posted anything well we are still in Adelaide. Its that time of the year again when we get home sick with Christmas coming.

this year has been hard all the kids are at school now so i spend most of my time on my own i have been looking for a job with no look i have started helping out at school 3 times a week and the money has run out so we are living on a budget this is the first time we have had to live on a budget anyway we have been here for 3 years now it seems like a life time i have just become and auntie to a little boy called Dylan he looks so cute this was a hard but happy time for me it was hard for me because i will never get to hold him because we can not afford to go home for a holiday and they can not afford to come here the kids are doing well at school and they have just started little athletics we have decided to have baby number 5 some time in the next few years we were going to have ivf because Greg had a vasectomy but we decided that Greg was going to have a vasectomy reversal so that is what we are saving for .

there has been a lot of illness around this year Conner has been ill on and off for about 11 weeks he has had 2 lots of tonsillitis ,gastro, and when he is not ill he is a pain in the ass he came up to me the other day and called me a hobo he is at the top of his class for reading callum still hates Australia and hates everyone he is only 10 and he is going through the stroppy teenager faze. i passed my driving test last year and i have not been pulled over by the police yet and I've been driving nearly a year yeah .

i had to drag all the kids to have their hair cut today because where starting to look like tramps and they have their school photos in 2 weeks they are on school holidays at the moment i still think they have to many school holidays when they go back they are only in for 10 weeks and then they are off for 6 weeks over Christmas they planned everything they wanted to do on the holidays they think money grows on trees so yesterday i gave them a sheet of paper and a glue gun and some pasta , lentils and rice and told them to make a picture that was not one of my best ideas i was still cleaning it up this morning so today we went to hungry jacks for lunch i felt stupid standing a the counter with a hand full of coupons but i got 4 meals for $19.80 yeah that was to soften the kids up for the hair cut they hate having it done hairdressers are so expensive here it cost $84 for 4 hair cuts and the boys only had a trim anyway that's it for now hi to everyone back home
