Nightmares are made from pink bears?



We have just returned from a fabulous wee holiday in Nelson where we celebrated our Ella-Raines first birthday.

Loads of friends who spoilt her rotten, in fact we nearly did not have enough room in the car for the journey home with all the hoard.

Look at the cake, Nana spent absolute hours on this cake but unfortunately Ella did not seem very thankful at all. Both Ballons and Bear cake terrified the hell out of her.

We had such a lovely time with our friends up there, I must admit to be wondering why we live so far away.

Oh could it be the high price of Real Estate coupled with the very low wage. Sadly yes. I had a look at the local property press while I was there and found it very depressing as they are are calling 300k a first home buyers range. That is double what we payed for our home and we can barely afford the repayments as it is let alone double them. Absolutely heartbreaking.
