Good news for me.

**martybabe** · 13th May 2008, 11:32

I know none of you know me but I've just had some great news and I need to tell the world but KB will do.

I moved to NZ in August last year and I absolutely love it although I haven't integrated with the natives as much as I should have,totally my fault,however I have booked on an language course, Kiwi for speakers of other languages such as English,so I can communicate better.

Anyhoo,part of the migration plan was for my son and family to join us at a later date but as life sometimes does,it all went tits up and my boy and his wife split up.

I have learnt today via the telephone machine that son of martybabe and daughter in law of Marty babe and perhaps most excitingly granddaughter of martybabe have made a full recovery,are all very much in loveliness and will be joining us in Godzone this time next year.

I know this means next to nowt for you guys but I am totally and utterly bowled over by the news,I don't know whether to laugh or cry,kick the dog or make a trifle.I've got myself all emotional,anxious and restless,so I'm of to Mitre ten for some retail therapy.A fugging big saw and a giant wrench should do the trick.

Thanks for listening. yes!!!!

Awesome news! Always good to hear of a couple getting back together and being happy about it - especially when kids are involved. Now you'll be counting the minutes till they get here...

I vote you do all of what you listed! Though forget the trifle you in KIWILAND now it should be a Pavlova Mate

Nah...go exotic with a decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse, laced with Cointrau

...oh and dip slices of fruits in it from time to time to make it look healthy!

That's what I thought,it seems a bit doom and gloom round here of late,so I thought I'd share a bit of warmth in the cold.

I always thought they were the best suited of my married offspring and I was gutted when they split but bugger that,who's dwelling, not me.

Not just yet, I'm working on five more of my kids to come over plus gorgeous grand kids,That'll double the population of new Plymouth.

NZ rocks by the way but how much better with some family to share it .

Oh and my son rides a vespa but I'll soon knock that out of him.
