Vegetable garden is not the in word but EDIBLE garden is. So thats will be this weekends big task. I want to grow lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, peas, beans, watermelon, strawberries, carrots and I am sure I will find some other things as well. ME who HATE gardening heehe oh well I am looking forward to it as are the girls. We have decided it will be a part of their christmas present as well. Then on Chrissy day theycan get little gardening tools and shoes and gloves. Part of this is to hopefully save them from my bad eating and I so do not want them to have to struggle with fat later in life. Both are tiny wee things at present so hopefully they wont follow me down this path.
Actually that is a big thing that plays on my mind. What if through my shocking eating I have condemed them to weight issues in life as well?? AGRRGGHHHHHHHH I can only hope they are more sensible than me. They are already better than me they love a great range fruit, apples, oranges, bananas, kiwifruit, watermelon and any other melon for that matter. We are currently going through a non vegie phase but usually when they eating fruit well they do this then later they dont eat so much fruit and go on a vegie bender. But all in all each day they have way way more then 5 servings of fruit or vegie. So I hope that is a great start.
This weekend was rather boring. Started some Christmas shopping so about half way there now. And I paid a whopping amount of money on bills so between now and christmas there is NOTHING to be paid. Apart from buying some power. Actually it was scary the amount I put on telecom, rates and hey they are my only bills haahaa. We pre buy power, have no credit cards, have no hps so all that arrives in my mail box now is telecom and rates. No more SKY as we have gone freeview. So thats an extra $70 per month in my pocket YAY. More money to go away with haahaa. But anyway rates isnt due again til the next year telecom the same. Will pay them again before we go away as well.
We went for a family walk yesterday and walked about 6km. I pushed the lugs in their pram. Graeme walked the dog. I am sure I got the hard end of the stick.
My eating all weekend was GREAT though. Apart from Saturday I as so tired I had two sugar free V's. then I had a whopping headache on Sunday morning so I am blaming the V. I had a whole heap of marking delivered on Saturday and sat down in the afternoon adn did the whole lot. So will send that back today and maybe some more will come. Trying to get as much money in the accoutn before we go away as possible. We ahve $600 to take away and that should cover us fine we are going to a remote beach so only need food, diesel and lpg and thats it. NO SHOPS, no new year sales just blobbing. And its freedom camping so we should be fine and dandy. Diesel should only be hmmm about $100 there and back so that leaves me $500 for food for 9 days. HAHAA we shall eat well!!!!
This morning thanks to Emily we have been up since half five. Hence at 8am I have cleaned the house, done and hung out the washing, mowed the lawns, made all the beds, fed us, dressed and showered us, made kindy playlunch, and now have time to sit here and fill this in. Seeing as I havent all weekend. Right must be off now I fancy some baking today.

sounds great!!! can't wait to have our own house so we can do the same thing. Container gardening is just not the same. And with the water restrictions it gets even harder........although - I would like to buy some citrus or somethign and get them going in pots - seeing as they take so long to actually fruit.
