another year older!

Hello everybody. Back home again. Arrived home and Clare immediately went over to a friend's place for a sleepover- still haven't seen her today as yet. Went for a fitness assessment at gym and got a programme to do on the equipment and a lessons on how to use it. Today Steve and I have been looking at stoves to replace ours. We want a gas top and electric bottom- not many stand alone ovens like them but manged to find one at Harvey norman. we will have to play about $800 difference between that one and the one the insurance company offered us. We don't want to pay too much as we will be rebuilding our kitchen inthe next 3-4 years. We also need to get written quotes on our pots and utensils getting a little tricky cooking without them! Had a nice day yesterday. the girls gave me a bottle of champagne and the new Spicks and Specks interactive DVD game. Carmel came over and gave me a pair of beautiful earrings and the new book by Tom Kennealy- Commonwealth of Thieves. Jenny also arrived with another bottle of champagne. Boy, you'd think I like the stuff!! We then had take-away for dinner and Steve and I both too tired to go out for dinner. Anyway that's about all, hope your packing's gone OK and have a safe trip Marty and Claire. Love Annie.
