FFN = Friends, Family and Neighbours

It's a collective term that computer people use to describe all those outside of work for who they supply computer support

Thanks for asking

A day in the life

A day in the life of the Vaughans:

Saturday 17 May 2008

- Omelet for breakfast while watching Amazing Race re-runs
- Timothy rugby match against Glenfield. Coach said to be there early as there are usually parking problem at Glenfield Rugby Club. Turns out that this was the only match and there was plenty parking. Easy win for the Takapuna Blues.
- Elizabeth netball game. Unfortunately lost.
- Lunch
- Clothes shopping for Patrick. This resulted in 2 grumpy kids - they would rather spend time at home in front of some kind of screen (TV, PC, PlayStation). Not my favourite pass-time either, overspent completely but at least got something.
- Rush back home to be in time for Elizabeth's friend Rhiana coming over for sleep-over.
- Some more shopping, groceries this time
- Party food and DVD (Flushed Away) for dinner
- Patrick and Timothy watches rugby on TV
- Patrick falls asleep in front of TV, wakes up about 1:00 am on the bean bag

Gym

So I joined a gym again. This time the YMCA in Northcote. Had my first session this morning and I'm just starting to feel it in my arms and shoulders. Expecting to feel much worse by tomorrow.

Takapuna rugby/roads

Today going to rugby training we had a big traffic jam caused by a crash
Ambulances came to the scene!
At the end of rugby we had free rugby balls YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Returning to pick me up Elizabeth and Nadia saw another car crash
NOT THE SAME ONE!!
Interesting day wasn't it?

Rainbow headquaters

on you tube I am having something new at the start of each new video Rainbow Headquaters

Blog Change

Hi everyone. We have a change to the blog. The colours!

We changed the colour cause Orange was getting old so now its green


I hope you like the changes

Budget Blues

Tonight I updated the budget for a change. As a result, the following appeared on the fridge:

OFFICIAL NOTICE
No take-aways or Eat Out until Timothy's Birthday unless we win LOTTO

Mother's Day

It was Mother's Day in New Zealand last Sunday.

As per our mothers-day-and-fathers-day-are-not-gifting-events policy Nadia did not get a gift, but she did get three lovely cards (well I thought they were nice)

Despite the no-gift policy, we did manage to spend a lot of money anyway - magazines and a book at Borders and then some good food and wine at Fox's Ale House

Class Captain

New school term started on Monday and Timothy came home with great news...
He's been elected class captain. Every one in class had 1 vote, Timothy and Sidney tied with 4 votes each and in the stand off Timothy won - well done!!
Good luck with your roll as mini teacher.

Kids for Kids: Shake, Rattle and Roll

Last night we went to watch Timothy perform in the World Vision Kids For Kids Concert at the Bruce Mason Centre.

Shake, Rattle and Roll is the latest arrangement of the ever popular Kids for Kids Concert. Special guest Suzanne Prentice (one of New Zealand’s best-loved singers) and a choir of 400 local children, performed a great selection of songs from the 50's to the present day. With songs from the Beach Boys and Elvis Presley to Dave Dobbyn and Neil Finn, Shake, Rattle and Roll is a hit everywhere!

Great evening of family fun, although Elizabeth fell asleep during the second half of the show, and Timothy was seen to hide a few yawns- 9:30pm is quite late for 7 & 8 year olds.

The sims

Last night I returned from my friends house at 5:05. when I wnet into mum and dads room they asked: What did you do at your friends house? My responce: I played Sims Coaster on my friends computer. On sims coaster you can make rides at a theame park!! The price of the game is only $10!!!!! I really want to buy the game now after seeing how its like!
