Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

My favoured method of communication. Just don't call me on it...I probably won't answer ;o)

I received an envelope in the mail bearing the logo and return address of Graysons school. Imagine my surprise when I opened this... It says...

hi Mum!

I am writing to you about my HPE (Health and Physical Education) assignment.
I dare say that it has not been completed on time
(insert a frowny faced Grayson stick figure holding a paper with a great big "F" on it). But I must point out, that to my defence I did try to complete it on time.
(We have so many to do atm).

When assignments are given to a student, it comes with a due date.
If our assignments are not handed in on time, we face detention, and writing this letter.

In future I will do my assignment as soon as I get it. I will do it to the best of my ability. I will study hard and do my work.

Reasons why I have not completed my assignment this time: I had other assignments to complete before this one.

Also, when I asked people what we had to do I never got a straight answer.

When in class I did try to complete my work. I hope have been valid answers :o)

Wyatt is a notoriously early riser...this way, he knows that when he wakes up and the hand is still on the purple side, he needs to go back to sleep ;o)

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
