Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

One week until I leave Adelaide!!! It's 3 degrees in Germany at the moment! I was complaining when it was 15 degrees here last week.

I have lots of stuff to do: do exam, get passport photos, get bank statement stuff, buy presents for people, go to dentist, write to my uni, go to my farewell party, attend to a houseparty, attend to my sister's birthday party, buy jeans, buy battery charger, buy memory card reader, get a student card, print stuff, clean room, pack bag ...and more!

I had my last exam yesterday I'd prefer not to discuss it as if I did, I'd require counselling

Ugh the Australian dollar only buys 49 Euro cents! I should have bought Euros in October...I guess I hsould buy them now before the Australian dollar loses MORE value. All students going on exchange to Europe were hoping the Euro would go down in value. Well, it did...but the Australian dollar went down even more in value. So, I have lost more than 1000 Euro!!!!

Fridge
Does anyone remember the photo of my fridge that I put on here? It was covered with paper and magnets and more paper and about 3 calendars!


I got back from work last Sunday morning....walked into the kitchen and thought I was in another house. Someone had cleaned the fridge!!

For my parents, cleaning the fridge on a Saturday night is great fun!

In Australia, if you have children, the government will give you a 'family contribution' (or something). It's a payment so that you can look after your kids. In previous years, the government gave my family a $130 payment! WOAH! Big money Unfortunately, we're now classified as 'too rich' to get this payment.

We calculated, that as a result of our economic standing we'd be able to get some things fixed. We got an original 1967 toilet fitting changed! On Saturday morning we got a new kitchen light fitting!


The original was from the 80s, broken and hanging off the ceiling...

The 'changing of the light fitting' was such a monumental event on our family's 2008 calendar that we took a photo of the electrician!
