Ok .. oK .. sorry

I know ... I'm so sorry fans (LOL) I haven't blogged since I got back ... feels like my days are seriously shorter than normal !!!

It's been chaos ... as usual ...

Our flight was LOOOONg ... well ... the first flight to Dubai went by very quickly ... only got to watch 3 movies !!! then we had a bit of a wait in Dubai till our next flight and that is the worst part ... sitting around waiting, and the flight Dubai to Durban was the worst ... one of those older planes so the in-flight entertainment was a bit crappy ... you couldn't watch what you wanted to !!! Tough eh??? and it was daylight and all we wanted to do was sleep ... the journey is a killer ...

So thankfully I have such great friends and Juno & Steven were there to meet us with a 'Combi' for all our luggage (ha ha) and Aunty Irena was there for the passengers (US!!) Aunty June had organised some groceries and our dinner for us at the house ... we off loaded the vehicles ... ate, had a shower and just crashed !!!! Didn't know sleep could be sooo good.

Don't ask me what time we all woke on Sunday ??? each of us had different clock times ... UK, Dubai, SA ??? So I think we all had a good lie in ... I managed to sort out and find a home for half of my 'junk' oops I mean lurverly purchases (PMSL) ... most of the clothes ended up in the wash basket or in the ironing pile ... (T.G. Lydia was in today to sort it all out for me !! LOL)  And Aunty June invited us to visit them, a) to pick up Indiana-Four-Paws... who really couldn't believe we were finally home and b) to celebrate Matthews 18th Birthday with him and June's family from Welkom... It was great not having to worry about dinners etc ... I am sooo lucky to have friends like this and to be sooo spoilt.

Got home in time to watch the football ??? Why ??? Ok so I figured it was a 'momentus occasion' that may never happen again in South Africa .. well maybe not in my life time ...and I had to know what all the fuss would be about on  Monday morning...LOL So now it's all done & dusted !!! and hopefully everyone now understands what a beautiful country South Africa is and it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be etc. etc. etc....

Monday... the start of a new week ... I was up bright & early ... dropped off the glow plugs for my car (the ones I had to bring from England LOL) and then it was off to Aqua ... Kelsey decided to join me cos he wanted to see what all the 'hype' was about ... he joined in our session and now he finally agrees that maybe it's not just a bit of splashing around in the water LOL ... later in the day he actually admitted to having a few sore muscles (he He). We popped around to Juno's to take her the pressies I'd got her (just a little thank you for all the running around she had to do for me & my car while I was away )... and I had found some cool stuffs for her girls too, we managed a catch up and a reminder of the hard work we have ahead for the next term ... aaaargh !!!

We got home ... just in time for a power cut !!!! Oh the sweet trials & tribulations of living in Africa !!! As I was reminded by a few FB friends ... all the tourists have now gone so it's back to the inadequacies and inefficiencies of good old SA !!!! But hey it meant we were all tucked up in bed before 8pm ... it does you good to go to bed early the night before school starts ...

And so onto today .... up at a freezing 5.30 am ... yaay back to school ... well once we can get the damned car started that is ... school run ... some phone calls, pay some bills, check the e-mails, go get some food in the house ... oops there's 1pm again and time to go fetch the boy from school ... get stopped by the cops cos my number plates broken !!! (W.T.F) ... luckily had the receipt that the cars been in the garage so I blamed them ... got away without a fine !!! Just means a trip into Pinetown to get a new number plate ... take my car back to the garage to tell them of the problem I had starting it this morning ... leave the car with Anthony ... take his car home ... he's gonna check mine out in the morning !!!

Home ... homework ... read the 100 or so notices from school ... cook dinner, eat, watch a bit of TV ... yippee power tonight ... blog till the ungodly hour of 10pm (PMSL) post blog and go to bed ...
