WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Further to the post about Christmas where we couldn’t go to Central Australia because of the car, I didn’t mention that the car also found new and wonderful ways to break down whilst we were in Port. You know how a few minutes after you turn your air-conditioning off in the car the [...]

“Christmas” in Port Macquarie

Most of you are probably up to date with the fact that we cancelled our proposed trip to Central Australia (or should I say postponed) because the car was not going to make it. Instead we went to Port Macquarie to see Jase’s family.
I had to work Christmas, so we left Boxing Day (“Oh, [...]

delayed news – law school

I will maintain that I am not old but it’s only just occurred to me that I could post about getting into law school – so that’s what I’m doing. After scoring a not too shabby 93.8 on the DULSAT (Deakin University Law School Admissions Test), I have been accepted to study for the [...]

Dad then said maybe I should write you a [...]
