Cohen's Second Birthday was lovely. 

This is what I gave Cohen

This is from GrandNan Peters and Terrific Aunt Deb

And then we ate yummy banana cake after some cheerios, party food and singing "Happy Birthday".  But ofcourse that birthday spend up meant that there was no money to pay me or Rob back.











Have a look at the budgie pacing in his cage in the background - it was a present for Cohen from his Mum and Dad but he has had it for a little while and it runs around the house and is very easily handled.  I'm told "Peanuts" loves Cohen.  Probably because Cohen shares his food.

S got a day and a half work through Manpower or Men at Work this week.  He was cleaning up a chimney/exhaust fan which caught on fire in a house.

C was here to stay for school holidays when he was called up so he had to be sent back but he is back again now for a couple of days.  C does not seem to want to stay very long these days and asks to go home quite frequently.  But S is determined to follow through on the paperwork associated with trying to prove A is an unfit mother/environment (with Pauly there at least).  Who knows what S's real reasons are.

The best thing S has done this week is to clean out the mouldy carpet in his boot and through out the underlay with all the "fur"

We have had a bit of a time with Centrelink over the rent and S  trying to tell me what to do and sign on the form.  We are up to form three but S has finally accepted that he cannot get so much rent assistance in a place that has cheap rent to start with and now he has another bill to Centrelink for back pay because he received too much.
