I would offer you a lift but my car is not big enough LOL Or alternately you could stop on the north shore on your way and you can follow me there?

ok if coming from auckland -
either take off ramp for pakuranga / sylvia park and follow it straight til you hit intersection of te rakau drive opp pakuranga westfield. Turn Right onto te rakau drive. GO ALL the way to Botany - dont turn off. You will pass Bunnings onleft, then countdown on right, go across Te irirangi drive so that K mart is on left and Danske MObler is on right. TURN RIGHT. YOu will be on chapel road. Take second entrance which takes you onto farmers / movies rooftop parking. Go into mall and cafe is on that level past the library. OR new option... come off at Highbrooke exit (new off ramp between otahuhu and otara). Go straight all the way so you come across Harris Road. Then go straight across te irirangi drive. Get into left lane and turn left at next lights - Chapel Road. Go through two set of lights and just after the second (Botany college will be on your right and Botany mall on left) turn left into the rooftop carpark as above - this is the easiest place to park.... I prefer Highbrooke now...less traffic and less muddling around with lane changing. Emma thought it was a long way when she tried it but def is a quicker option but not one that most people have used so it may feel longer......I now use it every time i am on motorway. |

I didn't think it was longer, I just lost all sense of direction and had no idea where I was! It was like I was in this alternate universe out there! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Do you reckon I'll be allowed to spend seeing as it's the last day of my rampant consumerism pledge? Or would that entirely defeat the purpose of no spending for a month ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Ooooh, I don't know. I'm thinking you should wait for the NEXT Botany meetup to go there! Otherwise you might blame me for breaking your spending fast... |

I was going to try and make this one but sadly the girls have both got netball games on this Saturday. I thought they wouldn't as it is the first day of the school holidays but no such luck. Hope you guys have fun and I will try and make the next one. |

Slight change of plans, but I will be there.
I'm pretty excited about being there, hence the new elaborate beauty regime: I have shaved my legs for the occasion (man did it take some doing!)and I'm gonna attempt to paint my toenails tonight, something in sparkly, I think. 'I feel pretty, oh so pretty ...' |

Sigh, Rackhell, now you've set the standard for personal grooming at this event. I *suppose* I can shave my legs too (although I'm worried it will give DH "ideas"). |

Shave? Legs? Huh??  I think I will be sticking to long trousers Just think of it as an extra layer for insulation against the chilly winter temperatures !
