Speaking about spending, some very boring but necessary spending happened today.
Best I stop writing about how I'm in a spendy mood because the plumber had to come (am I the only one whose people don't tell her when toilets have been leaking for awhile.....) and the gate motor also stopped working.
The gate motor guy was so funny - a foreigner who doesn't understand the F word is inappropriate with clients. Because when he was explaining to me why this thing keeps needing looking at, he kept saying the motor is F'd up because our gardener keeps turning it off when he works near the pool (that sentence sounds much more luxurious than it is - I would be picturing Desperate Housewives....). Nanny S and I just kept exchanging meaningful glances!
Anyway.

I'm on a course tomorrow and then the REAL holiday starts. And Sam's baby will be born!
My study is a HOT MESS - the kids' clothes are all over my (green) table (the one I take photos on...), and my papers that are necessary for holidays are on my couch. Tomorrow D has to pack it all (he's a genius at packing nicely - I just toss in and hope for the best) and weigh the thing.
We're flying with K so only allowed 20 kg luggage. I harboured hopes of D and I sharing and the kids sharing a suitcase. The kids will share but I'm not sure about D and me.
One thing I'm soooo pleased about is the Kindle. Best purchase ever (after my big camera!). So I'm reading physical books til I leave.... and then it's "buy with one-click" time. I do have two fiction waiting for me... and Daring Greatly, and Happier at Home.
Do you know I've had Happier at Home on my wish list for sweet forever? Sadly, people bypassed that one so I had to give myself a little new year's pressie (I told you, Spendy McSpenderson!).
What are you reading at the moment?
Which books are you looking forward to reading this year?
