So this is me at Port Macquarie. We got there at 9am and we had to wait for an hour or so for our cabin to be ready. Whilst we were waiting, I went to write a blog entry and my internet gave out. Something in the modem stuffed up, therefore, i was without internet for the whole duration. And this really pissed me off because, as you know, the whole reason for this blog was to publish my holiday. But now i am back online, i am going to post it as if the net was working. So over the next 5 days, i will post things so you dont have to read everything in one go.
Damn technology!
I started doing this blog about my road trip. Now I have done that, I decided to write about my ferret, Scooter. I wanted to share funny stories about him as he grows up, and I'd love to hear other peoples stories about thier ferrets, or hints and tips on anything about owning a ferret.

The Anger of a Woman!
So i went up to the shop today to get some milk. The car park at the little shopping centre is famous for getting dints and bangs in the sides of your car due to old people who cant see over the wheel of thier car, or stupid women driving 4WD's. (No, don't bother calling me sexist, its logic. I wouldn't drive one of them in a suburban area)
But today i took a chance, and as you readers know, i drove my new car up there. (The car that i have only had for a month). So i go in the shop, get the milk, pay for said milk and get in the car and drive the 375 meters back home. Then A comes outside to show me what he bought this morning from town and he sees it... The tail light is smashed.
Someone had reversed out of thier parking spot and backed right into my car! And instead of stopping and leaving a note on my windscreen, (You know those notes "Im sorry i bumped your car, Heres my number...")
I was so angry that people don't even care about other peoples property. And in times like these, its hardly an easy thing to just go out and get the electrics repaired and a new tail light. These things are pricey! But know, The people who hit and run don't care! But i am willing to bet $100 that if this happened to those people, they would crack it and feel the same way!
I was bought up to treat others how you want to be treated and i try to do that every day. And i can honestly say that if i had bumped into someones care and left damage, i would leave them my details!
After i discovered this financially pricey and not pretty vandalising of my car, i actually fantasised about what i would have done and said to the person if i had caught them. I thought about taking a base ball bat to their car plus other assorted thoughts that may deem me insane in some countries.
And another point: If i had witnessed such a thing happening to someone Else's car, i would help them out and get the number plate so i could give to the victim.
Just shows what sort of careless world we live in. Not even your neighbours will look out for you these days.
But the plus side, We are leaving for our holiday on Friday.

Still counting down.
I can’t believe there is still 7 days to go till we go away! The time can’t go fast enough! I have the suitcases laid out in the spare room ready to be packed. I even have a little suitcase on wheels for my dog and his stuff. Just blankets and towels, shampoo, leads... all that stuff a social butterfly dog needs for his first real holiday. But i digress. I have already dug out my blow-up li-lo (Which is like a blow up mattress for pools) and tomorrow i’m going to test it to see if there are holes in it. And considering i have only used it once, there shouldn’t be any holes in it.
I haven't been on a real holiday in so long. I can't wait to be driving in the sunshine with my sunnies on and the heat in the car. Then getting to our cabin and checking out the lake. Hopefully it will be warm enough to go for a swim.
While i was motivated and going through everything to find my li-lo i organised my wardrobe. I threw out all the clothes i don’t like or want anymore, (and i didn’t through them out, i put them in a bag and am going to put them in the charity bin... good Samaritan and all that) and now my clothes are in two wardrobes (One walk in robe, the other is a normal size one) and one tall boy (Was two tall boys) Yes, i do have a LOT of clothes. But now they are all in one spot (sort of) and organised.
