The rest of the week!
Amanda was sick on Tuesday, so lunch didn't happen. Haven't spoken to her, but hope she's feeling better.
Justy did the bible class on Wednesday.
On Thursday I did the grocery shopping and "splurged" on extra meat and a cart with wheels to help with the cleaning - I can put things that don't belong in the room into it and sort it all out later. And I still managed to save $25 after those purchases. I have read a lot on the internet about smarter shopping and we are eating healthier as well (hmm I'm certainly not fading away...). So I am really pleased with that progress. We are eating simpler meals (great for me coz I hate cooking) but Justy and Jaz are easy to please - and Justy even ate a bit of Cauliflower and Broccoli the other night - I was impressed.
I also attempted to pick Justin up from work , but I got hopelessley lost when there were road closures where I was supposed to go and I took the wrong exit anyway. I ended up at South Bank and said to Justin on the phone - just meet me at Wintergarden (Hilton Hotel in the City) Poor guy had to walk a long way. It really doesn't help that neither of us know Brisbane very well and there are a lot of one-way streets. I was pretty frazzled because Jazmin was standing up in her car seat and wouldn't put her seatbelt on. And then when I was stopped at the traffic lights I pulled her to sit down and she grizzled all the way. It's all well and good to say "pull over and tell her off" but that's difficult (not to mention illegal) when you are driving in the middle lane on the freeway! All's well that ends well, but I guess there are always some days one is glad to leave behind!
I dropped Justy to the station this morning (didn't get lost on that drive!) and he is going to Bendigo today. He'll be back tomorrow. Let's see if I can take the right exit to the airport...I have invaribly missed it, but at least I know where to go if I do miss it and can get back there ok now!
Still Brisbane Airport is easier to navigate around that Sydney airport - and parking is cheaper too :) And well there's always DFO (direct factory outlets) if I'm too early! The Rivers shop is good and an awesome bookshop there.
Got a Sunday School swimming day at Bribie Island tomorrow, was going to take Jazmin -she's always up for a swim.

So glad to hear Justy did Bible class. It seems a few refuse to take a turn, it's good to study for a class you always learn lots yourself...What a brave girl to manage the traffic hazards with Jaz on board...At least you managed safely but those situations are really stressful.. Well done with the shopping, it's great to save a few dollars always makes me feel an achiever... Luvyas Marg
