    Hi Mrs Fluffies

    I really hope you're quiet cos you're having a great 2013. We are just back from your lovely island. I am so sorry I didn't get in touch...we didn't have wifi and so ended up being 'offgrid' for most of the trip. Apart from some blustery weather from Cyclone Evan ( as you say)for the first few days around AKL it was good. Adored the NI and was already in love with the SI ..So much so the inevitable conversation about relocating happened...we will have to see but it's much more on the radar than ever before.

    Christchurch was a bit of a shock though...carnage. Loads of cleared plots in the CBD and not a lot of progress as yet on rebuilds.

    Hope you and yours are doing well..

    Brizzle xx

    It's been a while since I posted, so thought it about time I updated my signature. To put this in perspective since Jan 2012 we have paid 6.53% of our overall debt, if you take the mortgage out of the equation, we have paid a whopping 47.82%! This is a staggering total and something I did not expect to see right now. I'm am totally gob smacked and chuffed to bits. :):) We still have a long long way to go but it's a good start.
