Mad Cow - when you order Priscilla tickets on the internet you tick the option for them to hold your tickets at the box office at the theatre so they don't get sent to you. That's what I did - saves the courier fee too! If I remember, I'll ask at the box office if they usually have tickets for sale on the night so if you get there on time you can just rock up to the theatre.

The show starts at 7.30pm - think it probably finishes about 10. Are you staying in town or close to the airport?

Let me know if I can help out with anything you want to do.

Skinnydog, you are such a sweetheart. Thank you for all the info.
I lied we fly up on Wednesday and out on Thursday. Was getting a bit ahead of my self. We have accommodation in one of the airport motels. Jet something or rather.
Don't get back in till 6:30pm the day we come home, so might be cutting it fine. Especially if we get held up going through customs
I will wait and see what you thought of it and just proably play it by ear.

Hello - I'm back!!

I have just had a fantastic weekend away - probably more so for me coz NO ANXIETY  I'm getting there!  we did a school make over at this little school near Kaikohe - only 6 classrooms  The community spirit was incredible. Everyone worked really hard and the end result was magnificent. The diet, unfortunately, wasn't  Friday was good, even though it took 3 hours to get to Whangarei - the first half hour just travelling the 5km to the motorway from our place  We stopped at my S.I.L. place for dinner and had this gorgeous glass of Shiraz which turned out to be on special at New World for $8.99 - half price. I now have "several" bottles. Thoroughly recommend it if you like red wine - Mclarens on the Lake 2006 

We have decided we need to go to Kerikeri for Xmas this year as it may be the last year hubby's parents sre there. Checked out a really nice place to stay (I can't do the in-laws for that period of time  ) so am now really looking forward to it - nothing like a bit of forward planning 

Scotty a Friday frolic sounds great - you've got my number so just yell out.I can't wait to hear about Priscilla. We are going the week after next - on a Tuesday. Talk about your worst fears visiting upon you  Me of the "I hate going out late in the middle of the week" has had something on for the last 2 weeks and has something on for the next 3, in the middle of the week  I think it's great actually - getting back to the good things in my life but leaving behind all the crappy issues. I'm reading this book that I think is working wonders on my attitude. It's all very metaphysical - "I think therefore I am" sort of stuff but I'm a believer  (I know this one doesn't match but I like it 

Mad Cow if you and the bull are at a loose end you know where we are. Speaking of bulls, on our way to Kaikohe yesterday we passed a bull (actually a steer) trying to mount a cow. David yells out to the kids "look at the cows having a piggy back" I pointed out to him that he should remember they were city kids and saying things like that just opens up a whole raft of questions that I could well do without having to answer at 8.00 in the morning  Master MK wanted to know why they were having piggy backs and I just said coz the were bored with playing leap frog 

Okay that's it from me. I have to go do some grocery shopping now or we won't be having lunch tomorrow.

Welcome back. That's wonderful stuff Tracey. What is the name of that book? You are coming along in leaps and bounds. You must be so proud.

May just take you up on that offer, not sure what's happening yet. Get into Auckland about 3pm, Staying at one of the stop over motels in Mangere (?, spell check's not going to know that one )
Few of Mad bulls friends are in the same motel as us, but we will be spending the whole next week with them. Lovely eligible bachelors (nudge, nudge, wink wink, DAISY!!!!!!!!!) Haven't seen them in loin clothes though, so can't guarantee anything in that department..........could be why they are still single.
Lol at the piggy back incident!
How was the show Skinnydog?????? Dying to know.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. It's pretty bleak here in Taranaki............but I don't care........I'm going to Fiji. nahna na na na
Actually, I have been on a real downer. Absolutely disgusted with my weight. Was still at 72 this morning. Moaning and groaning coz I'd blown all my hard work. This was the event that got me started (The wedding in Fiji, that is) Then got TTOM early (blew my chance to use wonder pills, grrrr) but that helps explain 'some' of the weird behaviour.
Then had a talk to myself (as you do when you are sad like me ) And decided to bl**dy well enjoy my holiday. At least I'm not trying to find a swim suit to flatter my 110kg body that I once was. ..................does my bum look big in this.....................you Bl**dy betcha it does
And look at all the wonderful new friends I have to moan too.

Am very envious Mad Cow of your holiday (closest I could find green with envy)! I love Fiji

Thanks for thinking of me with the single boys - as I tell my work colleagues I am available for parties etc.  Let me know if you think any of them are suitable for me.  I can always come to the Naki for a holiday.  Last time I went to Fiji I was probably 15kg lighter than I am now as was worried what I looked like then.

Well done MollyKate on your weekend   You have every reason to be pleased with yourself.

Off to the gym tonight

[Mad Cow]

You good girl Daisy, do gym bunnies wear the fluffy ears
And know what you by what we thought of ourselves way back then, and wouldn't we be happy just to get there today,

And they are all extremely lovely guys. Just single coz they all farmers that work too hard, and don't socialize enough. But that just means they richer now!!!!!!!

[Daisy]

Hey MC - I was brought up on a farm - so happy in gumboots   Maybe I need a visit to the Naki sometime soon

[scottydog]

When I first read Mad Cow's description of her husband's friends I thought of you Daisy - sounds like a match made in heaven - you growing up on a farm and them being rich - perfect!!!

Don't you need to go and give something (anything!!!) to Mad Cow at the airport just when all the mates are around. Failing that we could start a 'Send Daisy to the Naki' fund to get you a flight down there after their holidays  .

Mad Cow - just how many single men are you going on holiday with  There are never any spare ones in Auckland

We could change this to a match making site.
5 guys that I can think of off the top of my head. Can't count the groom, even though he is still single at this stage Did I say that Mr Bull is best man. And the guy was our best man.....................over 15 years ago. I tell you they are slow outa the traps down here. Lucky my hubby met a very forward.....................thinking woman like me.

EGGXACTLY!!!!!
Send Daisy to the Naki, we'll sort you out.
Or we are at the Jet Park (I know, I know, divulging details on the net ) motel. But only three of them there tomorrow night.

[Daisy]

Forget the Naki - I want to go to Fiji

Have a fabulous time Sue - be good  (Nah, don't be!!!)

[scottydog]

Hi Mad Cow - have just e-mailed you to see if you want to catch up tomorrow - can you believe it is tomorrow you are going  << remember your sunnies!!

[mollykate]

Hey MC have a fantastic time  If you want to pop over for a drink tomorrow evening give me a call 

[Mad Cow]

Party at Mollykates

Looks like I am going to be having visitors at the motel, so will have to take a rain check MK

I'll catch up with you at the wedding {Daisy's one} ROFL.

Did you know that we call our cows Daisy's for slang. As in,  Have you moved the Daisy's yet, or Can you get the Daisy's in? Now that's coincidence .
And yes, Daisy would have been much better if you were coming to Fiji. Holiday romance and all that.

But seriously, the best looking one won't be there. But they all have great personalities Heard that one before.    But at least they are all our age.

Anyway would be just lovely to catch up with anyone. Do we want to do dinner?
Have cell phone numbers, so I will be in touch when we get there. Might see if I can get to MK's for a coffee when you finish work. Will text ok?
