A FEW HICCUPS AND CHANGES OF PLANS

First up - Mick was lucky he didn't right his car of this week when he hit a Roo and lost his bumper and damaged the guards the bumper is on. He didn't damage the electricals which was a miracle in itself. We are so grateful that he and his passenger were not hurt and the car has been dodgied up with another old bumper. Looks don't matter here - the Ute doesn't need to cost us another cent before we leave - deal with it when we get back. It will probably stay like this until it is no longer used. Thank goodness for mates with old bumper laying around and swapped for a carton of beer and a mate that welds and fix anything - a discount on his upcoming guttering job for him.

Secondly I have not posted any pictures of the interior of the van due to not easily being able to get in there and play - the van would not fit under our carport, apparently... and Mick had arranged to dig a pad up near the letterbox on the Saturday after we collected van - the excavator driver had something urgent come up and the pad has only just been dug today.

BUT I still cannot get my van on this enormous site Mick has made because 1. its wet and raining and he has to spread the road base and 2. They hit the Telstra lines which was buried to close to the top of the ground and cut them in half.

So now we wait for Telstra to come fix said lines - then wait for Steve to come back and finish what has been started and THEN for the road base to settle and set.

So I am not able to really get in the van and play around with stuff.

I also have to take her back to Caboolture Arctic where we picked her up from. They had not put the window in the front as per the van I saw at the show we purchased it from. I was very worried that there would be an argument but they have agreed to put the window in and have ordered it and will let us know when its there. I cannot fault them on this. I am just pleased that the ONE THING that sold me completely on the caravan is being fitted.Read more
