Oh yes!

Ladies and gents, let me introduce you to what I hope will be a very long lasting friendship. A friendship between me and my......



New Canon Powershot SX20 IS!

I'm super excited. All the functionality of a point and shoot digital with the opportunity to learn more going manual. It's only taken me a few months to review, decide, change my mind and decide again. But I did it! What?! You all know i'm a procrastinator.

Now i'm waiting for the courier to deliver it and hope that the website I ordered it from in Auckland isn't dodgy and someone is not running all over town spending up big on our credit card.

Hopefully it will be a "where have you been all my life" friendship. Time will tell! *swoons*

What do you think?

Hippety Hop....Shop 'til you DROP!

I'm preoccupied.

You see, for those that don't know i'm heading back home to Scotland for a visit with my family in September. For a month! The exclamation mark is there for a couple of reasons.

1. I am going to be free from my current home and daily grind for....a month!

2. I am going to be away from my cosy wee home here for....a month!

3. I am going to be back living with my wonderful parents and spending quality time with them for....a month!

4. I am going to be back living with my parents for....a month! (note to mum who's an avid reader - do not take offence, simply put yourself in the same situation with two small children and you'll get the point *mwah*. Humour Mum, humour - blame dad.)

5. I am going back to Scotland, the United Kingdom, and a Shopping Mecca......FOR A MONTH!(New Zealand is great, but you cannot compare the shopping unfortunately).

I am SO excited about all of these things, but I am super excited about shopping.

I think I may have even forgotten how to do it. I haven't done it well, um, gosh for such a long time. Shopping folks!

I've started making lists, mental lists of how much extra luggage will be required to bring my loot back.

Shoes, tops, jeans, boots, cardi's, trainers, underwear - OOOH! Marks and Spencer Lingerie Department, I've missed you so much! And Tesco for food shopping - oh, the variety. What am I going to do with myself, I think I may just be overwhelmed by it all.

Only 4 months and counting.
