Talk about windy and wet. We are WELL over this weather by now. At least the clothes dried. Another power cut. Oh well, I did some tidying.
Finished Tracy's PJ's. Am so pleased. Cut out Ethan's clown pants today but made a big boo boo by cutting 2 pieces the same. Am going to do a QUILLOW next. That should keep me busy for a while.
Been doing lots of deliveries - great exercise.
Scout fundraiser yesterday made over $500. Another 2 to go. Town this afternoon for a media interview for the upcoming bike ride.

TELCO PLUS - THE NEW ERA OF THE PHONE
Well, we are getting very technical here. Peter is going VOIP . That means we will be using the phone through the computer for just $10 extra a month we can make untimed calls for just 10c anywhere in Australia. Our experience with GLEN of Telco Plus is far and away the best we have ever experienced. He is just a phone call away, none of this hanging on the phone for hours waiting for an impersonal telemarketer. We have been with Telco Plus for over 2 years and have all our mobiles and home phone connected. The mobiles are the best, sometimes just $2 a month - can any other Telco beat that!!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY
Now I am the local catalogue deliverer although after driving 60k last weekend I am not so sure. All I wanted was the Exeter run which takes me 3 hours to walk, funny, today I only received 2 catalogues. Maybe I complained too much!!!
Friday Amber went to a sleep over in Frankford - way down woop woop. Peter had to pick her up Saturday morning but in his usual fashion decided to do some visiting and they didn't get home until 2pm - no lunch - typical of him. I finished my deliveries then off to Joey camp at Carnacoo. There weren't any Joeys from Exeter but that didn't matter. We all went for a very long walk to the Supply River Flour Mill on the way collecting things for the Environmental Bingo which was a great success. I was only staying until tea time but Jodie & Ethan wanted to stay overnight so another trip home to get clothes and back we went. The children went to bed around 9pm but of course were too excited to sleep and it wasn't until the parents retired around 10pm that they fell asleep. With the wild weather, the power went off around 9pm but was on when I woke during the night.Ethan woke in the night coughing terribly but after a spray of Medicated, he was fine until the boys woke at 6.30.
After a few games, we went outside for a bush game luckily because after that the heavens broke and down came the rain again. More games and great craft which I am going to use on Wednesday. Mosaic names and paper bag puppets. After lunch we tidied up and I got home about 1.30 only to find the power had gone off yet again.
Peter was trying to reformat this dreadful computer - ha. It was off around 3 hours, came back long enough to cook some tea then was off again until 6.30, just in time for Dancing with the Stars. Such a terrible pity that Jessica Macnamee was voted off.
Have decided to run Joeys from 4 to 5.15. Let's see what Jennifer has to say about THAT. Last weekend we went to the Museum and did the Rail Trail Badge. The Cubs on Wednesday were attrocious.

Sewing is going really well. Finished Tracy's PJ's, have to get some buttons and elastic. 3/4 made an apron too. Last week I discovered there is a fortnightly scrapbooking class so it was scrapbooking in the morning then cards in the afternoon.
With all this rain there are so many floods. I am so looking forward to seeing the Gorge today. Jodie has an orthodontic appointment and I have got 3 Mystery Shops to do. As I said, BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE!?
Winter is well and truly here, rain, RAIN and yes, more rain. The girls have had one virus after another and so much time off school. The worse one was Amber off for 4 days with what turned out to be gastro but it was different causing severe stomach cramps. Poor thing was rolling around in agony until I got her some tablets and a visit to the Dr. for a Maxilon injection. Thankfully, neither Peter nor I have caught anything (touch wood).
Representing the Exeter Scouts, 4 of us attended a Memorial Service for the founder of Exeter Scouts, Neville Hjort. Of course, it rained but still, the Winkleigh Church was full. It was a lovely ceremony then off to the Uniting Church for a fabulous spread. Straight after that it was off to the Anglican Church for a really enjoyable trivia afternoon. Our table came 3rd.
I am going really well with the overlocker, made another pair of PJ's for Amber yesterday. Cut out one for Tracy and woops, must have used the wrong size as they are ENORMOUS. Got loads of material from Spotlight for $2.99 a metre so will be very busy. It is actually FUN getting into this work.
After many weeks of intense practice, we attended the Scout Gang Show and Riverside won. Jodie did a solo and Amber was a clown doing hoola hoops and jumping on the trampoline then being a lion. Ethan clapped the loudest.
Had a fabulous weekend. Went to Camp Clayton for a scrapbooking workshop and learnt so much. I even got 2nd prize in the raffle. The food and accomodation were 5 STAR. I scrapped until 11pm both nights but over half of the others went until 2, 3 and even 4am both nights TOTALLY MAD. I have finally started on our Mainland trip. Only did 3 pages but am now motivated.
Peter and the girls went to Beaumaris where they met his old work friend, Peter and also Henry & Margaret Birril who invited them over. Jodie got sick Sunday morning with flu type symptoms.
Today I am hopefully going to another scrapbooking class at Tresca then to cards in the afternoon - HO HUM what a WONDERFUL life.
