Well we are both in the world of work now and getting paid quite well. So hopefully we can by a car just after xmas. I work for Tower Health & Life Insurance, logging the pre-approvals for operations. Im actually enjoying my job, learning all about medical procedures not enjoying the photos though ! Tom is working in Takapuna which is over the bridge,it takes him about 20mins on the bus. He is working for AIG, updating databases and sending letters. Booked to go away for 5 days over xmas we are going to Piahia near the top of the North island. Hopefully we are going to swim with dolphines on xmas day which will be lovely. We are coming back to auckland for New Years Eve as we have a lovely flat on the 14th floor so we can see the fireworks in the comfort of our ouwn home unless we go out of course. Must get back to work now take care and i will write again soon Love Jo and Tom xxx
