We've had some problems with email this week. Email has been getting through to the server, but was not being delivered to us. I did some testing with the UK email addresses and found the problem.
As a result our NZ email is back to normal. Nothing here has been lost, although there was a delay in us getting your email.
The UK addresses however, will be offline for around 5 days. This is because I have to wait for google to purge the information from the testing account I created, before I can add them back into normal service. True, I could put more time and effort into this and transfer the server to get them running, before transferrring them back again next week, but seeing as its only a historic account, I'm going to wait the 5 days.

Fishing day
During March there was a junior fishing event aimed at getting younger people into the sport. Bait, rods and equipment were provided along with a freshly stocked pool.
It was a great day, with celebrities from the TV fishing programs and competitions, although there were times when having 3 kids present knotted lies to you simultaneously was a bit frustrating! We didn't catch anything but saw others who did - Salmon and Trout!
Some laid back pics are in the Family Album of the boys and girls having a go for themselves. Oh and we did get a little perk.... everyone packed up and went, leaving us with 3 kids rods that we weren't able to hand back... oh well!

Rock climbing
Alex the super man (or should that be the spider man?) has taken up rock climbing. He has just completed a 10 week course aimed at teaching him how to "top rope belay". This means he is now licensed to climb with others of his own age. He will be joining the Flying Gecko's climbing club in the new term and he is now the very proud owner of his very own chalk bag, which he bought with some of his birthday money.
Again there are some pics in the family gallery and videos to follow.

Jods and a helmet
Georgia started horse riding a little while back. She goes to a place that teaches natural horsemanship, which is a really big thing here in New Zealand. She seems to be really into it at the moment, and stays for the day to help out and learn handling skills and preparing tack, grooming etc. The owner is off to the US in a couple of weeks for a 6 week holiday/conference so Georgia and the girls are looking after the Saturday people who want to keep thier hand in with some riding.
Soon after she started, she tapped Nanny up for some money towards a helmet. She was very lucky in that prices are a little cheaper for equipment here, so she was able to get boots and jods into the bargain. Her "little fashion shoot" pictures are in the family album - you can't miss them ;)

Social
Every year the school holds a social (or a disco)
the theme was tight white and bright (i just wore white jeans and a bright top and all that )
then when we get there u have to answer a question to prove u go to lincoln, so i didn't know this and didn't expect them to ask me what house i'm in so I jsut stood there for ages going, uuuummmm and then I remembered so that was lucky
I went with my friends Yasmin Shikah and Annie and the music and dancing was really cool and there was lots of people. The school photographer came and took a photo of us near the end when we were all shiny and messy hair, urgh why don't they do it at the start? lol Then we took Yasmin back and got ready for the next day at school :) we were all pretty tired after dancing from 7-10 !

Youth Group
Hi,
Youth Group:
Every Friday night at the community centre, there is a youth group, it is soooo fun. Last week we had to make bridges out of news paper and it had to hold a ball. So with my group we rolled up news paper and they made MY DESIGN :D and of course it was mine so as always, when its my idea, we won! We put 3 rolled up news paper sticks diaganol from each other and taped them together for the legs we made 4 sets of them, then we made 4 big rolled lines to make a base so that the ball would balance in it but it had to be a bridge so we put a piece of paper under the ball so that it looked like the ball was touching it but it wasn't. The lady who does the youth group for us works at my school as well, so i asked her what we were doing this week, she said she didnt know and that me and my friends should think about it, so we did, and came up with easter egg hunt, so like there are 10 people in a group and there are five groups, so she buys 50 small cream eggs and hides them, but puts a little sticker on them that are different colours for each group so you have to go find all your groups eggs and the first people back get a bag of mini eggs to share out between them and the ones they found then the rest get their egg that they found so in the end you all get a chocolate egg. Anyway im tired so going to watch Crimianl Minds bye xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The News Everyone Wants To Know
Hello again,
I am very sorry for all those people who do NOT want to here this news :D but I decided to write it on the blog for those who did want to know. This week we had sexuality and yes it was the week with the condom on the carrot there isn't really anything to say about it apart from it was TOTALLY DISGUSTING, why you ask? well because, well YOU SHOULD KNOW! :D Oh fine I'll tell you, it was disgusting because it was oily, the oil was called "lubrication" my teacher has told us that the oil is to make it slip on "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", anyway next subject pleaseeeeeeeeeeee,
So Alex's birthday party, we went swimming it was awesome, me my friend and Georgia pretended to be mermaids, lol (laugh out loud) and we swam away from each other in the rapids as if we were being taken away in the current and we had to save each other. After that we went on the hydro slides they were cool to, we went together because there was 3 of us we had turns with each other so after wards i had gone with my friend on both slides and with Georgia, so yeah we all had 2 turns together on both slides so yeah u get me well i hope u do because if you don't never mind!!!
After swimming we went to Riccarton Mall and chose what we wanted for lunch, Alex and his 2 friends had K.F.C and me and my friend had McDonald's and Georgia had Chicken Korma, I'm not sure what mom and dad had, anyways speak soon, when i have more news, love England for ever bye xxxxxxxxxx
