I lost my parking ticket this morning. My gym is in a shopping centre that has 2 hours free parking – so I never pay. I am usually anal about checking where it is etc but today it still go lost. Heaven alone knows where it is. So I had to pay R35 for a replacement. I was so annoyed with myself!!
Have you ever lost a ticket before?
Anyway…..
We had a lovely weekend. Saturday was market day and Santa Shoebox and then home made sushi for dinner 🙂 Sunday David had a race, we couldn’t find it so drove around for an hour and then gave up. Decided to try Northern Farms – disaster no 2 – the guys could ride their but there was nothing for Kiara, Jack and I to do so we decide to head to Rietvlei (after spending a small fortune on entrance and food) – I google Rietvlei and they do do breakfast but at R95 a head so we scratched that idea and decided to settle for Cappucinos. The rest of the day we spent studying art and doing Kiara’s project.
As we were eating dinner I realised I hadn’t cooked all weekend 🙂 David had sorted all the meals – it is the small things that make me happy.
Today I went on another icing course – this one was a little more informative than the one I previously went on. I really don’t want to start baking as a career but I enjoy it and do basic food for our Pamper Parties so it is always nice to learn how to do things better and nicer. I really enjoyed it and was so happy with the cupcakes I iced 🙂 I am definitely going on her decorating course where she shows you how to make a rose and a bear (and a few other things).
Cameron’s exams start tomorrow – first subject is art and music so we are knee deep in learning the 5 positions of the feet in ballet (????) and the animal orchestra (????) – I am going to be doing a post on what our kids are learning soon because it is shocking (well I think so anyway).

I have lost a parking ticket before. At Canal Walk. I had to pay R50 and I was livid! R50! Can you believe it? Daylight robbery. Lance also lost his parking ticket once. He made a scene (I was with and I was mortified and sooooo embarassed) and they let him go so apparently it helps to be a drama queen.
My weekend was OK’ish. I felt a bit sick. Child2 as well. Today was a bit of a waste. We had a power failure for nearly 5 hours. I had nothing to read. So I filed. And re-arranged my desk. And labelled everything. And then I had nothing else to do.
Gosh, I’ve never iced anything in my life. That seems so advanced!
Really, the five ballet positions? Sorry your mor ing was such a disaster. Still thinking about home schooling? Buy the Fair Lady – good article in it.
With my first pregnancy they thought something might be wrong, and my doctor made an emergency appointment at the gynae. I was so stressed and rushed going to the hospital, so after the appointment when I got back to the car the ticket wasn’t in the door where I remembered putting it. It must’ve fallen out when I opened the door. The security guard was right there when I parked, and watched me getting out, and he was there again when I got back in, but he did’nt say anything. I had to pay R100 for a lost ticket, and they made a copy of my drivers licence, and parking is free!!!!
Oh, and everything was fine with the pregnancy.
Rene – R100??? LOL NEVER! I would have kicked up a storm of epic proportions!! Thats madness!
I haven’t lost a ticket yet, but I have paid the ticket and then wandered around looking for my car so long that when I eventually got to the boom the ticket wasn’t paid up anymore. Gave the voice on the other end of the box an ear-full and they let me go at least.
Why would they need to learn the 5 positions of ballet unless they’re actually dancing? Strange…
I’ve never lost a parking ticket before, which I’m so grateful for.
A great eventful weekend you had.
While I have technically lost a ticket, my niece was playing with my ticket after I paid for parking and in her wisdom (not) inserted it into somewhere we could not pick it out . So had to pay an additional R50. I was not a happy camper.
I could not help chuckle at 5 positions of the feet in ballet and the animal orchestra. If we say the ballet is for flexibility, what in heaven’s name is animal orchestra 🙁
Weekend was busy busy busy from start to finish, just glad another weekend is almost here 🙂
Yes, I’ve lost my ticket before! It sucks.
