Expensive Foodshop

This morning we met up with a work colleague (who is 35 wks pregnant with twins #4 & 5!!) and two (of her three) children at a park in Manuka. The kids entertained themselves while we chatted and drank coffee. After the play we headed to Coles in Manuka for the food shop. Shopping was as per normal - girls in trolley eating some tiny teddies, sultanas, cashews and apricots while I filled the trolley with supplies. At the checkout Katy was in the seat and playing with my wallet. I paid with a card and off to the bakery for lunch we went.

It was here when I got my wallet out to pay for our sausage rolls that I discovered the $50 note was missing....my stomach sank. We rushed back to the checkout at Coles but the guy there hadn't seen any money. It seems the family behind may have cleaned up. Very disappointing really seeing though I was very slow to actually get out of Coles so I'm sure they could have chased me down. Bummer - at least I made their day.

On another note Ella is enjoying 'making' books at the moment. She loves cutting, gluing, stapling, writing and drawing. We bought some more stationery supplies this morning so now Ella is busy generally making a paper mess. While concentrating on making things Ella exclaimed 'Mummy I'm making a present for Luca and so when she opens this up (a piece of paper folded in half) she will see some glue!" Hmmm not sure that Luca will be that excited about receiving some glue as a present but I suppose it's the thought that counts :)
