Hey guys.
We havn't been up to much, trying to save to come to you guys. We get in at 8.35pm on the 3rd and leave at 5.05pm on the 7th. Can't wait! Will be good to catch up with you guys and also Dall, and we will also see my friend Mel who was in the Gold Coast but went to Melbourne the same day as you guys came back from New Zealand. I have just finished work today, only worked 7-10am as the family are going to dreamworld cos their family is over from NZ, but I still get paid my normal hours.
We went and watched the Gold Coast Titans play Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Staduim on Friday night. What an experience! I'd never seen leauge before..but it was a lot of fun - especially since we had $40 on Titans to win by 12 or less points. They were up by 16 with 4 minutes to go, then the Bronco's scored bringing it down to Titans winning by exactly 12..woohoo, $210 for us, as they were paying $5.25. That staduim is huge! It's in the middle of Brisbane, and seats 70,000! We were walking up to our seats thinking we'd have shit ones..but we had really good seats! We were second row from the back right up the top infront of the coaches box. So we saw everything!
We have a busy weekend this week, Phil's friend is having an engagement party on Saturday night that we will only be able to make for an hour or so, and then we will have to go to Phil's brothers 30th birthday party. He's having a pig on the spit, and supplying LOTS of alcohol, so should be fun. Then on Sunday we have our friend (who lives in the complex with us) their daughter Courtney is 4 and we are invited to her pool party..we will prob be hung over but oh well! Haha!
We have been car shopping lately, our's has almost done it's dash. I'm wanting to get some cheapish (well, as cheap as you can get a car in Aussie!) but Phil has his eyes set on his friends car which is a Holden SS Commodore 2002 I think..it's a nice car, but I just think $18,000 is a lot to pay for it. But like Phil says - he'll be the one paying for it! Haha. We've also been looking for a little car for me..just one to get me to and from work etc.
I'm glad you went and brought that doona inner like I said too! Haha! I brought fleece blankets for our bed the other night so when we come to you guys we will just bring our blow up mattress and those blankets to sleep on the night that Dall is still there. I'm really looking foward to it!
Anyway..i'd better go. I'm going to get a haircut :D
See you in a little over 2 weeks!
Love Claire and Phil.
Ps. Dallas - give my poor neice a haircut!
