After that we went next door for a drink in the pub.

wednesday

Drove to St Alberts in Auckland to meet a private car salesman. On the way there we got a bit lost so we ended up going over the Auckland Harbour Bridge.He met us in a liquor store car park, dad arranged to meet him there, dad then met the man and took the car to test drive the car, they came back dad gave the man the money then they drove to the post office to register the car in dads name. Mum drove maxines car and we followed dad behind whilst he drove the "new" car home.

So, we checked the car over again and drove off for test drive, me and mum were in maxines car on the way back to Howick.

We stopped for petrol to fill both cars up, maxines needed filling back up because we kept borrowing it.

Tuesday - Thursday

13:48pm (English time)
Just on the way to Heathrow airport, not right now, just jotted some things in my notepad.

Today, got up at 9am to get some breakfas, mum came at 11am to go to Brighouse to have some keys cut for the front door of the new house.

Went to the old house for a shower as the new one wasn't ready yet. Finished packing then set off at 1pm. Vicki finished work at 12pm to wave us off, so still on the way to Heathrow just gone past hare and hound in Mirfield. Vicki took the dogs back home, lucy dog wouldn't get in to the car, she knew what was happening as soon as she saw the suitcases she knew something was happening.

15.28pm
Still on motorway stopped at Watford gap on the way there.
I was showing mum the new Zealand pictures I found on the memory card that I found in the conservatory, so we were still in Watford, we went to get a drink and some snacks so we weren't hungry or getting bored. I got a red bull and some crisps, I gave dad my dairy milk.

Didn't know the time when I wrote the next bit, I was sat in Heathrow airport waiting for dad to check the suitcases in, dads trying to change the flights down when we come home but we booked with a travel agent we can't change the flights until we contact them, sat on the floor no chairs.

Whilst I was waiting I saw joe awash him who was on eastenders he was checking his bags onto an emirates flight, I wasn't sure at first then I heard him talking to his friend must be going to Australia to film I'm a celebrity.
