[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 45267, member: 1991"] G'day everyone, Just grabbing a quick moment to start the thread, before I had to go fix dinner. We've had a lazy Sunday, taking it easy and doing little jobs that need to be dealt with before we go on holidays. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is getting the washing off the line; it's just after sunset. BF2 has been away overnight and is hopefully due home in half an hour - the next boat, and the last for the day. If he misses the boat then easy child 2/difficult child 2 has a long drive to go fetch him. Pricey, with petrol so blasted expensive right now. Every little excuse (and often none at all) our petrol companies put the prices up. They put them up after Hurricane Katrina. They put them up after Cyclone Larry. And they 'forget' to lower the prices when things ease back to normal. Our prices are pegged to the world price for crude oil, and the Aussie dollar. Both are favourable right now, but prices have shot up (Marg's Man here to about US$4.95 per US gallon). Tomorrow we have a busy day, lots of little things to do. Expensive purchases to make, like a new printer and new camera. difficult child 3 has to come too, because his bank account has to be sorted out, the bank has started charging fees on his account which is not supposed to happen because he's a child. The advisory bloke I spoke to last week said that we'll need to bring difficult child 3's proof of enrolment in school. Is he crazy? difficult child 3 is 13, by law he HAS to be enrolled in school somewhere, until he's 15. But have I proof of his enrolment? I don't think so. Schools tend to not provide this because it's not needed. The best we can do is a letter from the school, addressed to difficult child 3. Or his worksheets, which have his name on them. Hopefully his new passport will be sufficient ID... Wish us luck - we might have an interesting bureaucracy story for you tomorrow night! Enjoy your Sunday. The weather here was magic - gently warm, but definitely autumn. Cool evening, though. Marg [/QUOTE]
