CLEARANCE whoop whoop..........

Houston we have clearance. Yesterday the sports ortho doctor gave Samuel clearance to go to Aussie, he is NOW over the moon he was quite down in the dumps I had realized he was anxious and worried but seeing him yesterday he must have been secretly holding a lot back (at least he can do that because he was quite a different lad last night).

AND on an unrelated note MY SON was 168cm in FEB they were weighed and measured yesterday at LIFESKILLS with proper doctors sliding measuring tape he is 179cm!!!!! he has grown 11cm in 4 months!! (holy fark he is shooting up way past his friends now I saw the 4 of them on the weekend and he is way above the others!) and 59kg!

SO Aussie $ were obtained $450NZD for $350 NZD eeekkk that's with handling fee I might add, insurance paid for, seminar paid for,Aussie internal travel paid for, TICKET GOT, all he has to pay for is Departure tax!!! YAY.Medical forms obtained to cover traveling meds, and copies of medical clearance has to be taken, ALSO had forgotten that in International sport competitons BANNED substances come into play and VENTOLIN is one of them so a dispensation letter was got for that!!! personal first aid kits got, and they needed VINYL sparring punch mitts WHY? I hear you ask because the normal cloth mitts soak up too much blood and the spectators find that gross!!!! (go figure the vinyl ones are easy wipe!!!! noiiiiccccceeeee)

I will get the billets present next week IT is our FAMOUS Lake Taupo shot looking across the lake towards the snow mountains (on coasters!), these are my most favourite gifts, some on here have had them Jaxx I got a big picture of that scene (she loved that scene), Chris got coasters cause she LOVES the cold ha ha (NOT!), you can get lovely scenes and even fishing and boating scenes the other boy is getting his billets a glass koru.

Today is Start of "SPIRIT" week at school and my son well lets just say its right up his alley! Today is house colours day tomorrow "T" day and Friday famous dead person!! He is ALL RED today and tomorrow unfortunately is representing school at a Manu Korero competition (Maori debating and speech and has to wear his uniform) he is guttered because he wanted to GET out the MR T outfit you all remember that one don't you?I will post a picture of todays EFFORTS!!!!! The bottom of the pants has faux fur and the collar bottom of sleeves has huge faux fur and the bottom of the jacket is 1/3 faux fur I scored that entire outfit for $12!!!!! (a bargain!) The photo is Samuel and his mad as just as crazy friend!! They looked superb (his friend is BLUE house if you hadn't guessed already!) CLICK on the pic to get the FULL appreciation of how DAM bright the outfit is it is also velveteen the other material and is shinyish!

I am just ironing and hanging out washing today IF IT EVER warms up!!!!! Oh and heading to bank to pay for travel insurance and blue punch mitts (he has red BUT they needed both colours as they would either be fighting in a red corner or blue corner depending on opponents colours!)

Have a good day
