1st post for 2008 .. yayyyy

Today has been a pretty normal day for us .. altho I woke up feeling rather dizzy and lightheaded .. seems to be ok .. but I've got a touch of a headache ..

Started the morning off with a visit to the Dr's to get Peter's BP checked - 150 over 105 .. so Dr has ordered some blood tests and given him a different lot of BP tablets to help bring it down .. he goes back next Sunday for antoher check ..

We went to Big W picked up a shredder and brought some MORE ( lol ) DVD's

National Treasure

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Antz

Domestic Disturbance

Next

Fracture

Sweet Home Alabama

We also went to the produce place and brought some laying mash for the girls (my 5 bantam chickens) and the 4 ducks ..

Peter is busy in the kitchen - we've been going through old files and shreddings ones that are over 1 year old .. he pops into the computer from time to time with bits and pieces .. Koko is sound asleep somewhere .. Kracker is lounging around on the back verandah .. and Izzy bea is not impressed because since moving into this house she is NOT allowed inside ..

Mum and Brian called in yesterday to pick up some laptop speakers I picked up for them from Woolworths - a real bargain at $ 9.95 a pair .. and they work really well too ! ..

Brought some new beds - after the fiasco on christmas eve, we said we weren't going through that again .. basically Peter and I slept in the lounge room on the floor on an air bed that kept going down .. so every 1 1/2 hrs we were up blowing it up .. then at midnight I thought someone was trying to break into the house - only to find Peter was already down stairs checking it out .. turns out it was the neighbours dog's !

It's been dreadfully hot here the past fews and our air con in the lounge has been running for 24 hours straight .. we even slept with the 1 on in the bedroom ..
