First week of Holidays.

Well we could lie in bed late except that Gerard had to go off to work as usual. He was in fact leaving for England today. He was leaving after lunch so still got to see him at lunch time.
Heidi had left for Ireland on the weekend, so did not get to doing any gym at all this week.
On Tuesday, Lara and I went off to Marcelle in Lauterbach. We had a look around her lovely new house and then sat and chatted. A little later on, Roxy came over with baby Joshua. Lara was in her element then. Had lunch with them and only left to come home at about 2.30pm.
I called in at Mega Company and bought another memory card for my camera.
Went to Sagawe in the afternoon and took a pair of jeans back. The stretch jeans did not fit me comfortably. I managed to exchange it for a really nice jacket, so was very pleased with that.
Gerard got back late in the evening.
It was Roger's birthday on Wednesday, so gave him a ring to wish him. Their land line is not working so the cell phone call was quicker than a normal call.
On Wednesday, I took Lara to Kindergarten, as I was going to Marjory today. When I got there, she was outside. She was waiting for some people to come and pick her apples for her. She asked me if I could do some shopping for her. So I duly went off to Herkules and did that. On my way back, I went via Deichman's and bought myself a nice pair of black shoes.
On Thursday, I literally spent my whole day packing. I tried to get the kids involved but they were not that interested. Marjory called to say that she thought she had broken her hand/wrist. I was not sure as to whether she needed my help or not. She then assured me that she had spoken to her neighbour and had called a taxi to take her to the hospital.
Later that afternoon, we had an appointment at the bank. Robert now has his own "card" account, where he can draw money whenever he wants to. This is where is pocket money will be deposited and any other that he receives as presents etc.
We are hoping that this will give him a little more insight into money matters, and a little more responsibility as far as keeping his own filing system with his banking details etc. Let's see!!!!
Finished off our packing and had the suitcases standing downstairs in the hallway ready for our early Friday morning getaway!!
