Hello everyone in Minti land!

I am very boring, yet excited about being part of the Minti Club.  We live in Australia.  I am happily (most of the time) married with two lovely girls aged 12 and 9 years.  One has just started high school which was a big shock to the wsystem - the number of assisgnments and not knowing what was going on has been quite stressful.

I am not working at present, I became extremely burnt out in my last job and so for the first time in my adult life am unemployed.  Still a scsary concept for me.  My brain is coping by pretending I am on a long holiday.  Which is true, but I don't have a job to go back to.  Next year, after the summer holidays I will return to work. 

So what am I filling my time with?  Well, the day after I finished work my darling husband fell off his bike on the way home from work!  So we spent the weekend at the hospital getting x-rays and his hand pinned.  So I have spent the first couple of weeks being chauffuer as he is not allowed to drive.  Coping with an extremely grumpy one armed husband who cannot do anything.  More frustrating for him than anything.  Then it was school holidays, so I had the two girls at home.

Now they are back at school and I can start MY relaxation and life!  Scrapbooking!  I am currently in the process of not doing their baby albums, but mine!  Yes - I am removing my few valued photos from the horrible 1970s magnetic albmuns where the photos are being destroyed and into nice archival quality albums.

Other than that, we have a dog called Saffron who is our baby.  I bought her a new squeaky soft toy today and she is in the process of trying to get to the squeakers.  We shall see how long the toy lasts.
