ABOVE: 25 years ago today I went to a Netball Prizegiving with a girlfreind, here at the Mercury Bay Rugby Club in Whitianga. My girlfriend (Jane) introduced me to her team's Coach....
ABOVE: inside this building, upstairs... is where I first met Stew. The first thing I ever said to him was: "Don't get interested, I'm a solo mother with 4 kids"! He got interested anyway... and I knew from that first night that he was going to be mine...
ABOVE: the carpark, where we snogged something rotten in his bloody ugly orange holden! lol.
He moved into my bed, I mean home, 10 days later. We got married about 18 months after that.... I had to get divorced first and ummmm.... give birth to Steve! LOL.... we rocked up to our Wedding with a 6 week old, and 4 kids aged 4,5,7 and 8!
NO HONEYMOON... it's a bit hard to book a HONEYMOON Suite with a double bed, 4 singles and a bassinette eh?
Oh well... 25 years later and we are still totally happy and in love with each other. AWWW......
Today: well, I will go out with the kids I expect... anything to keep them happy and occupied. We don't have an 'Anniversary' evening planned.... we quite like to stay in and relax by the end of the day. Boring old farts we are! I might be 'nice' to him later.... ha ha ha!
We went out to Spotlight in Panmure... such a lovely shop...so much nicer than the one in Manukau... I was looking for some more fabric:

ABOVE: I found that lovely blue one (bottom right) and was scanning around looking for something to match it... and Kelly kept suggesting this one and that one.. and I said "HELL no, that is HEINOUS" and wee Rena heard me and said "PENIS...PENIS" ... it was rather funny! I kept saying 'Heinous' just to make her say 'Penis' .... ha ha ha!
I made the 4 bigger kids sit quietly on the floor while I was in Spotlight, they were so good ...when we stopped at Sylvia Park I got them all a gob-stopper Lollipop.
ABOVE: here is Rena slobbering on her's at home. She's in her carseat so we don't get lollipop dribble all over the house!
It's lunchtime now... Kelly has made the kids their sandwiches today. Nice. I might just have to keep her on! lol
End of Day: Kelly and Rena have gone home... just left with the 4 for the rest of the week. Stew and I had a nice quiet evening watching some telly... off to bed now. nite nite.
