I'm off to see the wizard

Yes Friday night I will be in Sydney to see Wicked. Not long to go. DH is going to see AC/DC on thursday night and I figured I would go at the same time as I don't like going to Sydney, too many people for me I'm a country gal. So the kids get time off school and get to visit their Grandparents for a few days. Sprog 10 is staying here with his Nan as he is in PSSA swimming on Friday. He thought that he would still get time off school, Ha, no way boy off to school you go. I am going to try and do a shop at Aldi while down that way (non perishables) to see what the difference is in price as I hear so much about how good they are from the Simple Savings ladies.

I have been reading a few personal finance blogs lately. I love playing with numbers and budgets so these are fun to read for me. Some good ones I have come across are
Punch Debt in the face - www.punchdebtintheface.com/
The Simple Dollar - www.thesimpledollar.com/
These are both American so if you know of any Aussie ones let me know in the comments.


This is Sprog 6 getting invested into Joey Scouts and that is me at the back I am the Joey Leader. everyone in our family is in Scouts. DH is a Cub leader, Sprog 10 and sprog 7 (will be 8 on Wednesday) are Cubs and Sprog 6 is now finally a Joey not a JIT (Joey in training), he has been waiting a long time for this.

I am really going to try and keep up blogging reguarly and I may even blog about my wellness challenge LOL.
