Not going to look at the bigger picture - just going to take smaller steps to the ultimate goal :)

Fishing Rods...

(I worked tonight 10pm-2am) Went shopping this afternoon for fishing rods. Yep - hubby bought himself another one, I bought a small one for the kids to share and Mr 12 bought himself one with part of his b'day money. So we are now a family of fisher-people lol.

I made another attempt at 'melting moments' - read the recipe right this time and used icing sugar instead of plain sugar and OMGosh what a difference lol. YUMMY - topped half of them off with passion fruit icing...Mmmm to die for!! I took some for MIL at work tonight...she shared them with a couple of the ladies - who were super impressed with me!!

Mum called today (my mum and dad live in Samoa), she called to tell me about a contact they have for loads of 'fill' for her land in Apia...$160WST per load, which is MUCh bigger she reckons than the regular loads they had in the past for $200WST. So she said to think about it...basically she has 3x 1/4 acre sections...she's filled in just over one of those 1/4 acres which has her house on it...and it's now open to us kids to fill the rest (which again basically means me and my younger brother as my eldest brother is a no-show...) anyway...she said think about it, while she has her contact. So I told her I'd call her this Friday and let her know how many load we can afford, my younger brother and I.

So...I'm really keen to send some money over for this...and it is pay week, which means bills week, SO thank god my bills are all in credit! (I'm sooo good at paying bills lol) But I was hoping to buy my younger two kids new sets of school uniforms each - no biggie - I'm a super juggler when it comes to finances :) The kids will get their new uniforms and mum will get some money to fill the land :) and I will be broke LMAOooOoo....money comes money goes...

Anyway, after work (2am) I got home, cooked a little something for hubby and lil bro who finish at about 4am. Did all the dishes that the kids kindly left for me lol. Sitting here on the computer waiting patiently for hubby to get home :)

Will get some sleep then go to the inlaws for Sunday Lunch as usual :) I have taken out the last of the fish the kids and I caught - 4 large trevally's. Will cut them up, fry in flour then simmer for a wee while in coconut cream..Mmmm.

I have to pick something up for Miss 9 that we bought off TM earlier in the week, they are just around the corner from Inlaws so that works out well.
