the day daddy butchered my hair

ah, poor mia, or poor mum more like. i walked into our living room this morning to find toby with a huge pair of scissors attacking mia's hair. my biggest nightmare!!! she now has a very short and uneven fringe. i am gutted. hopefully the mullet-like effect will have outgrown by the time we get home next monday. as i type, mum and dad are up in the air, not too far from heathrow now i think. i am very envious actually. we are down to the bones here with just our gear for travelling (2 huge cases, toby's gadgets......, backpack and handluggage plus a mattress and mia's cot. that's about it really. things have run very smoothly today and we have pocketed $1500 for various bits and pieces. mia coping very well with all the change. box people arrive tomorrow (we have gone from original estimate of 12 boxes to 22) to collect boxes, 2 surfboards, tv, bike, portacot and picture. carpet clean booked for 2pm and a few other small items to be collected. handover keys on tuesday so a lot of tues will be spent cleaning although a lot already done (thanks mum!). from tomorrow lunchtime, or thereabouts, we move into luxurious spencer on byron hotel in takapuna. hoping for some fine weather so we can see the stunning views of auckland city and rangitoto for our last 2 days.

well, i bid you farewell and see you next week. wow!!!
