Monday
We packed up after a lazy morning and headed home to Timaru! On the way we stopped off at Puzzling World which was honestly so much fun! They have a huge maze and you have to get to all four towers before finding the exit. Wade got to the first tower first and then Darragh, Cillian and I caught up, leaving Mary lost! After a while she found got to us but then we all kind of split up! Darragh, Cillian and I managed to get to all four towers first so we helped out Mary and Wade... but that's where I went wrong! Wade was the last to get to all four towers but then first out! Darragh and Cillian started to get grumpy so we let them out the emergency exit, but Mary and I refused to give up and spent a while trying to find the exit (mostly ended up going round in circles!) We finally made it out and then went to the illusion rooms. The worst room was the tilted room - I just felt pretty drunk! They had a few cool things but the maze was definitely the most fun!
Tuesday
Today pretty much consisted of me getting things organised, with both stuff I need and presents for the family!
Wednesday
River and Karla brought Hazel and Tori round for a play date this afternoon. I painted heir faces and didn't do a terrible job... think I might be getting better?
Thursday
As it was my last morning this morning, I had to frantically rush around Timaru trying to organise everything I've left until the last minute. I can tell I don't want to leave as normally I'm super organised! I had my last visit with Cushla today and then all the au pairs went out for dinner at zest.... the pizzas there are to die for!
Friday
Last working day! I honestly can't believe how quickly those 5 months have gone and I have loved watching Darragh and Cillian grow and learn over that time. Today we had the wedding of the century... Spider-Man (Cillian) and Elsa (Hazel)! It was honestly one of the cutest things in the world... these kiddies melt my heart! We then decided to go to chipmunks for the honeymoon which was definitely a great shout... it's heaps of fun there! After picking Darragh up from school, and then waiting for wade to get home, I gave them all their presents from me (mainly because I was too excited to wait until Sunday!). It was then that Mary and I started drinking and I would love to tell you what happened on the night out but I honestly have no recollection of about 90% of the night!
Saturday
Last full day in New Zealand today, and I wasted it being severely hungover in bed with Mary. I even puked in a bowl in her bed because I'm that classy.
Sunday
That's it! My time in New Zealand is over... and what a 7 months it has been! I am honestly gutted I'm not staying here until January, I have gotten so attached to the family I work for and I will miss them more than I can even imagine. Saying goodbye was hard but I'm too excited about the next few months so luckily I didn't cry!
