Well I was going to do a mammoth photo post of Christmas Day... but just lost the whole bloody lot so will leave that till either later today or over the weekend.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have enjoyed spending time with loved ones. I hope that those that have had time off work this week are enjoying themselves and making the most of the break. Just a damn shame about this bloody changeable weather though! Wish it would make up it's bloody mind whether it is going to be fine or wet!!! It's no wonder so many people are getting colds/bugs etc as the weather is changeable so much that our bodies don't know what is happening!
Speaking of illnesses, I am on the mend (I hope) as the cough is a lot better so fingers crossed I am going to be shaking this once and for all! Though was at the Dr with Rachel yesterday, and managed to see our usual Doc, and she said she could still hear the huskiness in my voice and breathing! And I am on my last 3 days of AB's so I do hope I won't be going back to pay them yet another visit any time to soon.
We are having a great time off work and spending lots of fun time with Rachel and catching up with friends who we don't see to often due to me working. Stephan is busy renovating the bathroom - well mainly the shower but while we were doing that, we decided that we would sand down the ceiling and walls and do a whole new paint job! I have been mainly keeping Rachel occupied these last 3 days while he is doing the work in the bathroom, but he did subtly mention that I could be in there with sugar soap washing the walls down etc so may attempt that but some of these jobs are so much easier to do without a child around who is always wanting to help Mummy and Daddy!
Not a lot planned at all tonight - will probably have a drink here at home, watch some tv and probably go to bed before the New Year even arrives! Then tomorrow we are off to Masterton for the day to see my sister and her partner so am looking forward to that. Then in just 3 weeks we will be back over there for their wedding so that will be cool! And I have my brother and his family from Melbourne coming over for 10 days so looking forward to catching up with them as well as my brother from Christchurch.
Anyway, almost time for Stephan to get up, so I can then pop around to his parents place to use their shower (day 5 of no shower in this house - have been managing to have a bath and used a friends shower yesterday) so am hoping that the shower will be up and running real soon!
But before I go, I will wish you all a HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR and all the best for 2010 whatever it may bring to you and your families!

Wishing you, Stephan and Rachel a very Happy New Year. I hope 2010 is all that you hope and dream for.
Happy New Year to you all Karen. Wishing you lots of happiness, good health and prosperity in 2010.
Happy New Year Karen! Do you remember when you used to get holidays over Christmas and put your feet up and relax? lol ... you sound so much like me - holidays are now all about keeping the kids busy and doing those things that you can't get around to at any other time of the year! Hope you've had a lovely day today - may 2010 be a great one for you and your family.
Happy belated New Year to you Karen. I hope this year will be everything you wish x
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just catching up on blogs at the moment.... great to hear you are enjoying the break :)
I hope you have your own shower working by now! I'm a bit tardy... but took a wee break from reading lots of blogs over the past few days.
