*Most of the known towns/cities for shopping and surviving(eating out): Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Sigatoka, Suva. and mostly my Dad(step dad) very generous was also there from Sydney dropped us off at our destinations and picked us up later, he also got us from the airport ,and other times we just got the cabs/taxis or bus rides which is the cheapest!! we apent about $100 for the whole month on getting cabs and bus rides!! Plus money spent on shopping was around $400-$500 including getting liltle gifts for families here and wedding outfits worn in my brothers wedding!!

* Mystery Island tripped was a top luck!! someone met my hubby in town..those time share spammers!!! haha we got that mystery Island trip after attending that seminar for 40 mins!! main purpose was two free  round trip tickets and one for my baby gal @ $99...they also picked us from our hotel FOC(free of charge) and to the seminar FOC...dropped us back FOC...minus time share deals!! sorry guys but we are not big fans of time shares just fans of free goodies they have in store for us after the dragging seminar!! okay so that ticket had all sorts of activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and food for frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee too!! lucky!! i know that night we counted all our lucky stars!!hehe
*Capital City=Suva City we went with my dad and mom, while she was still in fiji for the wedding...she went back to syd one week after the wedding! we visited lotsa places in Suva and spent around $250 on little stuffs like logo shirts, frames of fiji islands, food again=), and some other little things i bought for my friends at work!!

mine will not really me about diy...but more about pouring my everyday life in the new house : we are in the attempts of making a home, staying frugal to the fullest=) coz i enjoy saving $$$, well who doesn't, because those savings really go to vacations and my adorable daughter!! 

oh well so apart from working part time...i am home in our new house with some land..that we just bought a few months ago>>>CASH!!! =) the big happiness of frugal living!  we are painting the walls...one wall a day...i know doesn't sound good...but the daughter loves painting the same walls we are painting...and that daughter( our only bumble bee) loves messy painting!! so painting now progresses only when she is napping!!

my husband loves farm life and us...all and most of what he takes care off is  us( me and our bumble bee chicka, some chickens and roosters and some goats and their babies, some pheasants and some doves, also hes into tropical fishes ( am one of those>>lolz just kidding) so he has 2 big fish tanks...more about all this later!! so yeah his hands are full....mine is a little on the other side of full...and so here iam trying my luck at blogging!!=)
