finally .....a page done


Got up and started cooking this morning,made butterscotch biscuits, and chop chip biscuits.Did quadruple batches of both, so ended up with @ 200 in all. I have packed 3/4 into zip snack bags and put in the freezer for school snacks. They may just last for a while, but the kids tend to eat stacks of the things. Going away to ad next week, so stocking up supplies.
I have finally managed to get a LO completed, I have a few Ive halfheartedly started, but nothing Im satisfied with, and have been working a fair bit [for me] in the last 2 weeks, so havnt scrapped much.
This page though I have scraplifted,[not sure who, but was from the gallery on "The best Little Srapbook shop on the web"...I think].
I had a phone call earlier from a lady in Darwin, who owns an apartment that I had enquired about for our holiday. Anyway she had previously replied she would be away, but then must have thought she could still let it out and post keys to us. We have already booked and paid deposit elsewhere, so moot point, but she was so lovely and friendly on the phone, we just got chatting away like old friends, about our accommadation, trip to darwin, and kids etc.[ she picked up on my non excitement about the darwin trip, so was enquiring about where we live, etc, had a bit of a laugh ,really pleasant person]. So now I would love to stay at her apartment, but unfortunately at a discounted rate of $245 a night, it just wont be happening.[ very upmarket ].
