up the milk and then you mix an egg with it well she boiled the milk threw the egg in the egg poached she put it in the cake and there were these little bits of poached egg all through the chocolate cake oh gross laughs yeah egg white everywhere <,,><&>4 that was um this teacher at school told us a story about her um SON who went down to dunedin to go to university and this was with a <.>group they were in a flat with a group of guys you know never left home before oh yep <{><[>yeah word living word <[>and they were <.>making and they thought we'll make a cake and so what they thought we'll word cake and they got out um a recipe and it said separate one egg and they were like <{1><[1>well how do we do that so they boiled <.>the they boiled the egg and then they took the yolk from the white and then they chopped it into little bits put into the cake and they wondered why their cake was really dry with <{2><[2>white bits in it <[1>what does it mean yeah split it in half <[2>white gross yuk hopefully they had enough beer at the place that it didn't matter laughter yeah <&>9:00 oh yeah my flatmate when i lived in town his mother i'm sure she thought that we didn't eat between his visits back home she lived in mount maunganui and every time she came back she had a red cross parcel with her <{1><[1>laughs yeah we used to rush out to gwen what have you brought this time and it'd have all sorts of things in this red cross parcel laughs <,,> mind you we did learn to cook once we got a number of word <&>next two utterances addressed to child that's a her <{2><[2>that's frances and she can have biscuits if she wants to <[1>mm <[2>we kept having big arguments about the yoghurt cos the flat money would buy the yoghurt and some people would reckon that somebody ate all the yoghurt and they hardly got any laughs oh no and it was like and the other thing they used to have massive problems with was people people would have shampoo and somebody would try somebody else's shampoo to see what it was like <{><[>and you see if you've got five flatmates and they all tried it the same shampoo word and um <[>oh that's a <.>bit then everbody'd end up with the same brand of shampoo cos having <&>10:00 tried it they all liked it and then nobody'd know whose shampoo was whose who belonged <{><[>to what eh <[>it was really funny you could think my god how could she get such <{><[>word why don't you just buy group shampoo or something <[>pathetic isn't it yeah yeah <{><[>exactly and if you didn't want to use it then you bought your own sort of stuff eh <[>might even buy a different sort each week but oh living with other people is difficult <{><[>and um they can be quite funny <[>yeah when i was living in <.>l when living i was living in london <.>that what's that no thanks word um <{1><[1>i used to leave my shampoo in the bathroom and then like i'd go back and there'd be like half a thing left <{2><[2>and i'd say oh who borrowed my shampoo and they'd say WELL i didn't well i did but <.>only i just had it once <{3><[3>and like you'd go and ask someone else <{4><[4>who i was living with and they'd say oh well no i didn't use your shampoo and they'd say well i did but only once <[1>word <[2>word yeah <[3>mm <[4>laughs laughter there were eight people living there <{><[>so by the time that everyone had used it once you sort of like oh fine well i'll keep it in my bedroom from now on <,> oh thanks frances <[>yeah only once yeah then half a bottle no they'd say none of them had used it and then they'd all go out and buy the same brand <{1><[1>so it's pretty obvious they had <{2><[2>cos they liked it and they bought some the same <,> but it's quite good because everyone was really <&>11:00 broke you know <[1>mm <[2>yeah yeah so no one could afford to buy shampoo and those little luxuries well i don't think shampoo's actually gone up in price for ages no it's stayed about <.>t three dollars unless you want to spend buy <{><[>that really expensive stuff <[>it's always been <.>quite about the same price i don't know <,,> i haven't been buying shampoo for <{><[>that long <[>about ten years ago apple shampoo used to be on special for a dollar ninety nine and it must <{><[>be about two dollars sixty now <[>oh yeah before i say anything rude is that the one that any of you buy laughs no good it's detergent that stuff <{><[>laughs <[>oh i used to learn all the specials when i used to work at the supermarket laughter oh right <{><[>laughs <[>i used to learn all the specials thomas used to use that when i first met him that bright green one it smells nice <{><[>in a bubble bath <[>word it's a <{><[>lovely smell yeah <[>you probably word word it'll make a neat bubble bath yeah <&>next utterance addressed to child it's a train <&>next utterance addressed to child it's the same isn't it but there some shampoo we've got that NObody likes in our family and i've ended up using it <&>12:00 to clean the kitchen floor laughs

<{1><[1>foodtown <{2><[2>shampoo <[1>oh yeah <[2>oh dear <,> no i have to change my brand of shampoo sort of like i keep changing it but you quite like that finesse eh no <{><[>well i changed from

just keep changing and changing <[>mm yeah they say that you should <{><[>change <[>problem eh when i was at boarding school i made um some girls ordered stuff from the chemist obviously girls need stuff from the chemist and some of the girls used to order like expensive things like all their makeup and some of them would order a different shampoo every week and have about twenty a collection of about twenty and when they'd go to have a shower they'd have to decide what <{><[>shampoo to use and i used to be quite um worried about all the money and be a bit frugal i used to have one <&>13:00 bottle of shampoo a bit abnormal word <[>shampoo to use couldn't you go to the chemist by yourself and buy it it was about two kilometres and two kilometres isn't <{><[>far <[>and you'd have to get teachers approval <{><[>to leave the boarding school <[>you'd have to get you'd have to get permission to leave school and um also like this way it just went on your parents' account which meant you had more pocket money oh well that's fair enough then <,> no but then if you had to buy things like shampoo and stuff you'd convince your parents that you really need more money my word no cos the parents used to just um you'd get dished out so much pocket money and you get um charge <.>up you could charge up at the drapery store and <.>that and <{><[>parents just get <.>the if you needed pantyhose or a new shirt or something you know <,> if you wanted to buy some material and sew something or whatever <[>what was the drapery store for whereabouts was your boarding school in marton

being fairly menopausal with a gall bladder problem <{><[>so she wasn't very pleasant <[>oh so you moved somewhere else say could you please let me go to boarding school next year i think it would be really good for my <{><[>education <[>yeah a straight a year and um also that i was at chilton and we already went for physics and chemistry to saint bernard's and that i would've been at saint bernard's for maths and applied maths as well as that so i would've only been at chilton for the english right yeah and my parents would be paying like you know three hundred and fifty bucks a term for me to go to a forty buck a year school yeah right three <.>hun gosh that <{><[>must have been a while ago <[>do you know how much chilton is now nearly a hundred dollars a week seventeen hundred dollars something and that's for primary yeah <.>like word well not very good nanette's had to do j one twice i want a refund yeah well they started up a um like they had <&>15:00 the kindy from four

<[>they have to have a school apron and um i think there might have been one other article that they had to wear if they were going out or something but then as soon as they went in to the juniors they have to have a full uniform which includes um you <&>16:00 know the blazer which is two hundred and something <{><[>dollars for a five year old and <&>canary chirps loudly through rest of NN's turn if <.>they if they had to get a raincoat and the raincoat cost a hundred and thirty dollars but if they went out and they didn't own the raincoat they weren't allowed to wear another raincoat
