Where have I been lately

Oh the drama!!!
I have disappeared off the planet of late, but I am now back to say HI!!!
I have missed everyone...
So...on to the excuse, or should I say excuses, he he he!!


This charming little man was the original cause of my sudden disappearance from blogging.
We got him an ipod for xmas and since he has had it we have gotten alert emails to let us know we are rapidly reaching our monthly downloads, but last month he used our entire months worth of Internet in a mere 2 weeks, sooo the whole family had to miss out on any Internet usage for the rest of the month.
He no longer has Internet access on his ipod.
has anyone else faced this issue after investing in ipods for the kids?


This precious little fairy turned 5 & had a fabulous rainbow themed birthday party, because she luuurves rainbows


A very tasty rainbow layer cake did the trick


and of course her favourite treat jelly, set layer by layer!!


We had a great picnic & a spot of fishing & swimming at the beach on the weekend. I also learnt to drive on the beach which was a blast. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do!!
Unfortunately my car is experiencing a few issues at the moment.
A man blacked out at the wheel of his car and ran into the back of mine, thankfully the kids & I weren't hurt but my car is undriveable.I will now be driving a hire car for any where up to 6 weeks, this doesn't please me at all...Grrrrrr!!!!

So any way thats it for me, I am back & looking forward to catching up on some bloggy action!!

CHEERS

Geez, what a time you have had! Glad to hear you are okay after the crash. Must have a few guardian angels around you. Yep, we know the old new iPod/Internet saga v-e-r-y well. Same story. Download chewed up our time in about two weeks too. Master T banned from the Internet AND we had to upgrade our download from 25 to the next limit which was................ 200!! What the? Is there no inbetween? Came at a cost of course. Bas%*!ds. Gorgeous cake clever you. Have a lovely day!

Glad you're back Trish! We got Nicholas an Ipod and promptly banned him from internet usage unless he asked first! Way too tempting I think. Have a great weekend. xx

Oh Trish glad your ok, what an eventful couple of weeks. We used to go over our download limit just before the end of the month, very frustrating.x

My kids aren't using the internet yet... but they want to download new apps on the ipod/pad ALL THE TIME.
How scary to be in a crash. Thank goodness you're all okay. x

AS the children and gizzmo ownership grow so too does that internet usage! We've been 'caught short' many times but as we need the speed for work here too we keep upping the level we can download! Watch the app downloads too; a smurf game cost us $1100 in smurfberry purchases!!!! Glad all have survived the dingle....inconvenient no doubt but acceptable if you think of possible other results. Looking forward to seeing your posts again more often
