Today has been very busy so far. This morning by 8am I did the washing, put a red wine beef casserole in the slow cooker for dinner, had the caravan people out to value the Coromal caravan, and had the solar people finally arrive to put up our solar. We have been waiting just on 12 months for this to happen, and it finally has. We are just waiting now for the electricity company to come out and hook up the meter and we are ready to go, goodness knows how long that will take....
We have also finalised the purchase of the new caravan today, we have decided on a triple bunk Galaxy Odyssey offroad caravan. It is absolutely beautiful, and has a shower and toilet as well....(quietly clapping hands) The triple bunk takes up the same amount of room as a double bunk, and means if Michael comes he has somewhere to sleep, or if one of the girls wants to bring a friend when we go away, that they can do that also. They gave us a good trade in on our Coromal van, so overall we are quite happy, and saves the hassle of selling it privately. I also went out this afternoon and sorted out wireless access for Damian while he is working away, so he can check his emails and go online when he needs to. I had a lady come out this morning for a wedding quote, and have done that one up and also one from Saturday and sent those off, as well as ordering the flowers for next month's weddings. I have flowers arriving tomorrow for Friday and Saturday's weddings, so will get started on the Friday one tomorrow and Thursday. It is going to be a busy week, but by Saturday afternoon, I will hopefully be able to have a break for a few weeks, as I don't have any weddings until mid June. I also need to unpack our current caravan tomorrow, so that it can be taken to the caravan yard on Thursday when we pick up the new one. I also ordered Toni's formal dress today...she is happy about that, don't think my wallet is though.....

over $600 for a formal dress - yikes.....
We went looking at caravans yesterday. We have narrowed it down to 2 possibilities. We will get the yard to come out tomorrow and give us an amount for a trade in on our current van, and then make a decision. Today I have spent the day out with Toni formal dress shopping. The dress Toni has decided that she likes is over $600!! My goodness, I don't see the value in the dress.... I found one other one that was not quite as nice, but still beautiful for half price for $150....I am really hoping she decides on this one or finds something that is a little bit cheaper....the dearer one definitely does not look $500 better....I think the less expensive one is lovely as well, and she does like it....and I think if we dazzled it up a little with some diamante accents it will be just as lovely as the dearer one...Toni is going to have a look around locally tomorrow afternoon and then make a decision...
