We set the alarm for 6.30am as we knew being the first day of school we needed plenty of time. We were working on 20 mins for breakfast and getting everyone washed and dressed and an hour and forty mins to load all the stationary into the car and 7 mins to drive to school, that should do it.
I will never forget that look I was given as we approached the school gates. Eyes moist with emotion and as large as dinner plates, a cold clammy hand gripped mine as if life itself depended on it, a quiver of a bottom lip and a tremble in the voice, Nix was in a terrible state, the boys on the other hand couldn't wait to get in to school, "By" and they were gone.
"So lets go and get some car insurance", that should be be relatively easy! The nice lady at Van City Savings had pointed us in the direction of their insurance brokers as we would get a discount being members. The very nice lady at the brokers quoted us $1400.00 and said we were lucky we had all that no claims bonus other wise it would be a right shocker of a bill, I thought $1400.00 was a bit steep myself as it was, never mind we will be back tomorrow with our proof of the no claims bonus and the money I said.
"We have just got time to go to Capilano Mall" said Nix's before it's pick up time, where does the day go? (well if you spend 6 hours shopping it goes pretty quick), so a few hundred dollars lighter we are off to collect the boys from school.
Well, well how was it? what did you do? Who did you play with? What is your teacher like? Who did you sit next to? Was it fun? What's your teacher like? Who did you sit next to?......... "Oh it was OK, what's for tea?" I'm guessing that's a right result?
