Planning Queen - it seems to be a never ending task doesn’t it?

Good luck with all the cleaning. I need to do some decluttering myself too.

Libby - I wish my house was always clean and tidy!!!!

Sharon - I’ve always pictured you as the mega organised type! Yes, we’re going to Western Plains Zoo. Not too sure about the early morning bit though!!!! LOL.

As for how I’m feeling after playing Centre - well, it wasn’t as bad as I expected although I don’t the other grade try all that hard at training (not when they play us anyway). I surprised myself because I was completely stuffed when we took the court and never in my wildest imaginations did I expect THAT to happen. LOL. But it was fun. I was SO tired and my legs just ached when I got home!!!! Talk about a full-on training!!!! Seem to have pulled up okay today though which is the main thing.

How are you feeling after your debut in centre? You did a fantastic job. Really proud of you.

I think I’ve achieved something huge if I manage to do the dishes! I’m terrible for leaving the house in a mess and worrying about it when I get home. Doesn’t make for a great homecoming!

Are you going to the Western Plain Zoo in Dubbo? We did an early morning tour which meant the kids got to feed a giraffe, pat a rhino, etc. It was good but it meant we were already tired of walking before we even started the actual looking around the zoo!

You can drive around and look but we hired bikes, much more fun!

Sounds like a good plan. My parents set off today for their 9 week trip around Australia and I know she’s spent the last few weeks cleaning her home from top to bottom (and everything in between) partly because a friend is coming to stay. Having said that, her house is always clean and tidy. I had to laugh the other weekend when she was looking after our dogs and she asked me to cook the food in advance. I didn’t know why. It was because she had already cleaned and polished all her pots :-). You definitely don’t want to to start your trip all stressed - won’t be good for anyone. If you can leave it better than you normally do than that’s something achieved.

I’m really looking forward to shopping at Aldi. I should have a look at where their stores are located. Wonder if Dubbo has one - that’s my first Saturday and therefore first official “shop” for the trip. Thanks for that link. Perfect as I’m just working on my recipes.

I’m saying yes to letting perfection go.

In news you might be interested in, Aldi are putting two dollar meal deals on the back of their catalogues recently. I have tried several of these recipes already and I have to say they are awesome.

I am now shopping for 2 weeks at a time, and our last bill was less than it used to cost us for *one* week when we were shopping at Woolworths.

Unfortunately the last Aldi as you go up to North Queensland is in Gympie (other than Bundaberg, but we weren’t going there) - we had an excellent plan for cheap meals on our holiday but due to the lack of Aldi it didn’t work out as we planned.
