Lloyd came home from work early today and we went into town to get the flu vaccinations. Going there with 7 of us is always such a fun experience (not) - firstly you ahve to write out all of the forms with health care numbers etc and then wait while they talk you through it all and check everything like allergies etc and then one by one you ahve to have the jabs....of course Laurie didn't want to be first - or second - or third so he got more and more scared and worked up and then burst into tears as soon as he had his. I went first, then Chris and then Lloyd. Then Laurie. Susannah went next and was also scared - she sat there with one tear rolling down her cheek :( Seeing this got Abigail scared so she started crying but was fine afterwards(easily distracted witha sticker thankfully) . Sam was fine!!
We sat outside in the foyer for 15 minutes in case of a bad reaction. Then we headed out. As a treat we decided to go to Pizza Hut for supper. We were the only people in the restaurant which was ideal...it was the waitresses first day as a waitress and she was great - except after a while another couple came in and the waitress gave them our order (lol) so it meant after the salad and garlic bread, we were left waiting for AGES for the pizza and pasta.......so long that Lloyd went and asked and then Susie went and asked....at which point they admitted they had screwed up the orders and they gave us a 50% discount! So 7 of us had 2 large portions of garlic bread with cheese, a large salad, large breadsticks, 2 medium pizzas (chicken and red onion and a double pepperoni and a large Fetuccine Alfredo and cokes all round for $26!!!!!!
The pizzas took so long to arrive that no one was hungry by that time, so we just had them boxed and brought them home - the kids can have them for lunch tomorrow!
We got home just before 7pm and now the kids are playing and Lloyd is getting Sam ready for bed......I plan to go and soak in the bath and read one of my magazines. Oh firstly I have a couple more posts to write!
