Man its hot in CHCH!
We have no available funds to invest in a paddling pool for the girls at the mo so I used one of DHs huge plastic storage bins instead  The girls both fit in there perfectly its very cute! Got heaps of photos will have to put them up later.
Anyhoo just wanted to whinge about how much I'm melting....wish I fit in the storage bin lol! Hows everyone else dealing with the heat? -------------

It's crazy! My hayfever is driving me bananas today 
Can't wait to see the pics Lisa! BTW - they have cheap as paddling pools at Pak n Save at the mo, well they did last week for under $8.00. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I suggest that those without AC go to those peoples houses that do! Oh god honestly, it's 34 degrees in Rangiora and its not even sunny! Why did they have to take away the public pool, why?!!? Thomas is in the crappiest mood, all i've done is yell, Matts closed himself away in his office working and even the dogs are going nuts. If this weather doesnt change soon i'm going to be writing a sternley worded letter to mothernature. ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Was coping fantastically well at work with the A/C on ... but now that I've come home to a 34 degree house ... not so good. Got the heat pump going (on super jet cool!) but its still soooo hot!
The wind is the worst thing hey Lisa - it's not like you can go and find a nice cool shady spot to sit because the wind is just so hot. I've been living here for 5 years now and I'm still not used to chch's norwester! ------------- TTC#1: Jan 07 Aug 08: Lap found and excised Stage 3 Endo Nov 08: 2nd lap clear - given OK to TTC after next AF |

Its still 24deg outside, we have the fan on in the girls room so they will have a decent sleep. I will have to put up with the cat coming inside so I can have the windows open enough to let some air thru. ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

I've been living here for 5 years now and I'm still not used to chch's norwester! Totally the wind takes it out of you We were living in Brisbane for a year before I had the girls so I have to admit I was handling the heat well up untill yesterday It felt an awlful lot like Brisbane this time of year.
Well it's hot again today so I might take the girlies to the botanical gardens and try them in the kiddies paddling pool they have there -------------

We had the heatpump set to 18 deg max fan speed all night and it was still 24 degrees inside when I got up this morning Needless to say it will be left on all day today

Wow that was stupid of me!!!
Took the girls to the gardens for a paddle but its just too hot! Hazel had a complete meltdown as soon as we got there. Poor wee thing was sweaty buckets! Dipped her in the water but that only made things worse
So we're now home with the a/c on full. The girls are in bed fast asleep. Poor wee buttons what a mean mummy -------------
