Tall Tree Tales...

We were alerted to the fact the the house owners had decided the trees needed to be trimmed. An odd sort of time to arrange it - winter would surely be better for the trees -but there you go. In due course I was called by the loppers and an appointment was made, and broken. Another appointment was made... and broken, and finally a third appointment was made for Tuesday. I found myself sceptical that the Useless Loppers would be there at 2:30 on Tuesday. Well, they turned up.....but substantially later than 3 and did not do as much as I suspect the house owner wanted. Haha, that will be their problem. Chris and I have been making the final push to be debt free and should be debt free - bar student loans - come May. Yay for us!! We have been getting our fruit and veges from Foodbox.co.nz and the budget meat pack from Clarks organic butchery. This pack gives us 9 days of meat - and we have vege meals for the other 5 days. It works really well. The meat is incredible - nothing has disappointed and we are eating less meat as it tastes so much nicer than the cheap meat we bought before. Using these 2 options has dropped our total grocery spend quite substantially as it severely limits impulse buys. K is still loving Kindy and we have just had another morning added. This is great as we will now have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings for Kindy, and Mondays and Fridays for Playcentre. And as the weather starts to chill down and rain up Playcentre will be more important than it is at the moment :)
