Back Home

We all went back 'home' to HK for a week during the girl's Oct half term holidays.

It was pretty stressful leading up to it also when we arrived, as we were there to obtain my UK Settlement Visa.  No easy task.  Red tape galore, don't get me started.  
Saying that, HK lived up to it's true nature of professionalism and speed and I received it within the week.  You could all agree that if I had to go back to Oz, then I'd still be sitting there for another few months at least waiting for it.

So with that tucked neatly away in my passport, it's a huge relief.   To top it off, it was SUCH a fantastic holiday.  It was the girl's first time back there since we left.  They had loads of sleepovers and playdates with their besties, it truly was a fabulous holiday, though it felt like we never left really, like we were there only yesterday!  

Massive thanks to you all for looking after us, especially Chateau Lipton, the service was amazing!!

What's 2 more girls?

Meet our latest members of the family.  Holly and Twiglet, the guinnea pigs!

Jaimie's belated birthday present.  Normally the nagging dies off after a few days, or give a week or two, but Jaimie has been persistent since before her birthday.
JP and I always found a good excuse as to why we can't get them "just yet".  But yesterday, we went for 'only looking' to Pets At Home and well, yep, we came home with these two, dare I say, a teeny bit cute guinnea pigs!

Jaimie woke up at 4am this morning to play with them.  She is beyond in love and can't wait to show her sisters (who are at a sleepover right now!)

So without further ado, here they are...
