Mrs M, glad you are out of there, not good to be unhappy at work.

Kim that stinks about having to get the A/c fixed. At least it is you who loves the heat. I hope your day went well.

Lexy have a wonderful first day. I hope the job is all you are hoping for.

PL I think it will be you and I on here on the weekend. We will have to have a party! LOL.

My ankles are swelled up to the uncomfortable point, better go drink more water.  Hello to everyone else.

 Thank you so much Mally!!

Hug your kids often, you never know when it will be your last chance.

My Weight Chart:

Kim…craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap about the air con! So happy that is getting fixed quick smart! I so love my sat nav! Love the car stripping talents – bet the cars next to you loved it!! Just don’t do it in Sydney!

Mrs M…woooooooooo hoooooooooooo!! SO happy today is over for you and you can focus on everything you love now. Lucky you said there was cake, otherwise we could have had some in Sydney!!

Steph… craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap about the house. That just sucks! Not sure about up there, but my sis was told banks down here are deliberately undervaluing properties so pre approval meant nothing and people were losing properties. Selfishly, I am happy you don’t have to worry about coming to Sydney! Would be so sad not to have you there! Our dog is microchipped. Had it done at his first injections since beagles are known to be wanderers!

Trace…recovered from the weekend???

Nikki…where are you lovely??

Julie…water, water, water!! All I can say. Hope the boys sleep ok in the heat. My kids did as they love the sound of the fan in their room. Still do actually!!

Lexy…what a lovely way to spend your last day hun! Good luck tomorrow. Smile nicely and look confident!

PL…great to hear your dog is ok. Hope the ironing got done!

Talked to my dad and he managed to get to the appointment and they are cutting back on one injection as it interferes with his arthritis so he is happy. Promised to stay for 3 weeks up there at xmas so I can take him to a doctor’s appointment. Lucky me!! Anyone who wants to hang at Hat Head is more than welcome!!!

Worked yesterday (for Friday) and today to begin writing reports. Off to mass tomorrow as Josh is reading for the first time and then spending time with Lily, play date and coffee with a neighbour and then yoga.

Any change in anyone’s flights???

Rose  
2008
Weight loss...from 95.4kg to 71.0kg
Waist...from 96.5cm to 78.0cm  

Julie I hope the fankles go down soon -must be very uncomfortable.  You and PL will be with us in Sydney - we will be thinking on you as we will Sim and Ambzy

Rose I'm pleased to hear that you dad has been able to change his meds to help with the arthritis.  You are a good daughter   Can we still have cake in Sydney........please Miss Rose can we......

No flight change here - yet, but as we well know until we are on the plane anything can happen   Will print my itinerary off tomorrow and let you know exactly what time I'm supposed to arrive.  Beginning to get butterflies of excitement

We have been out for dinner - went to Maldini's in Salamanca and sat outside.  There was a wedding and fire twirlers, lots of people sitting outside - the atmosphere was very calming.

Time for me to read my book - it is one that is hard to put down. 

Night night ladies - sleep tight and Lexy you should be having an early night and try not to wake up too early tomorrow

Thanks for the blinkie Mally

Please excuse my absence yesterday but it was a big day in my world. Nothing crucial happened, just little events. Firstly, I've been offered a gig at another branch of the company. It's a brand new acquisition that needs alot of work to get it up and running in a new area. It means completely furnishing and redecorating a new office, chapel and all other associated rooms and doing heaps of pr to get the clients through the door. Exciting venture. The boss told me that management thinks I am the best person for the job due to my time management skills, what I've shown so far and attitude to work. Um, thanks very much!! Went to kb last night and 3 minutes into skipping warm up, I pulled, strained or tore my calf muscle. Hobbled out of there and spent the rest of the night with an ice pack. Fun and pain!! It's feeling tender but okay-ish now. I think I'll leave training for the week to be sure.

Steph - i think you knew this would happen with the house. It's obviously not meant to happen right now. Things happen for a reason - sometimes it sucks - but something better will come along and you and 'he' will be thrilled with the outcome. Poo about having to clean again though.... lucky you've got so goood at it!!

Rose - glad your Dad got to his appt. 3 weeks in Hat Head. That will be relaxing at least. Good luck writing reports. I used to hate the word "however" in mine!

Clare - poor schmacko-less dog. He'll adjust and feel happier for it. You just can't explain the logic to him.

Mrs M - lady of leisure!!!! Did you tell them to jam their scones visit? Nice of you to take a cake. No way you will look like a bumpkin. You are always so beautiful.

Lexy - why don't you stay with us on Friday night? There is a spare bed now that Sim isn't coming. Yay for the cheapy massage. Yay for the dresses and tops. I have a new dress that I can't wait to wear on the weekend.

My haircut was good and colour too. Only $100 for the lot!! I said "pardon?" and made her repeat it as I thought I'd misheard. Joy. Mr kim noticed my hair cut but then said "you had that done yesterday, didn't you?". At least he noticed. Have to cancel the air con appt as I am over the other side of town from now on! Holy crap, it's hot in my car. Navman fixed by mr kim who plugged it in and recharged the battery!! Sometimes I am astounded by my own stupidity!!

TIme to see how son2 is faring this morning and get to an early meeting. 2 sleeps to go!!! Today is my packing day. Rose, the weather needs to be warm all weekend, k? I am only bringing warm weather clothes. Organise that, would you? hehe.

Hammer time! Have a great Wednesday everyone. Hope it's filled with fun and joy. ( and packing, fill it with packing!!)

Kim how exciting about the new gig - what an honour and what a wonderful challenge - I know you will embrace and enjoy

Loved the reason why the namvan didn't work!  No I didn't tell them to jam their scones - I really like the people I have worked with so will be happy to visit them - see them all working away - and then leave again

Thanks for the compliment   I think I might try and squeeze some shopping in to my day - I wasn't going to buy any new clothes for Sydney, but the mini might just park itself in the shopping centre carpark and hey - who knows what might happen then

I have a hair appointment this morning and Georgie is having a post op checkup this afternoon.  I will definately get a good walk in - looking forward to getting back into that.

Where is the lovely Trace and Nikki - busy getting ready for the weekend?

Happy, happy day ladies - make sure it is a good one (and yes I will think about packing!)

Thanks for the blinkie Mally

(see, stupid again!!).

Have a good day everyone

steph - bugger about the contract falling through - hope your real estate agent gets his/her bum into gear and finds financially able buyers ASAP -  I've got friends building with Plantation and Metricon homes - I'm so jealous of their pantries !! LOL !!

mrs m - enjoy being jobless ! domestic engineering - who said that ?- I like that title!! yes I got half my ironing done - then had to stop whilst my neighbour popped in for a coffee - rest is sitting waiting ! .....but half was two whole baskets - yes I'm behind...oops.....what book are you reading - love getting into a good book ?

julie - yes I'll be here ready to party over the weekend - I had fankles last night too - they suck ! hope the boys have a good day today xx

lexy - can't wait to hear how your first day was - hope all goes well for you xxx

rose - yuk to report writing - my eldest sons' has usually been pretty bad - hopefully this year (he's in year 9) things will improve as his attitude seems to have changed...he's even getting A's!! A's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo - what year do you teach?

trace - hope you're OK xx

nikki , ami, sim , hello and to anyone I've forgotten!

my fluffy boy seems much happier - apart from when I have to shove penicillen tablets down his throat - ewwww! - he's too clever and leaves his food if I crush it in ......he seems to love his new food thankfully - but it still sitting by the pantry door in the evening waiting for his schmakos - think he's wondering what happened to his spoilt little life!!!

must go and do something productive ........starving too so might have lunch early!!!

restart 27/7/10 weight 112.0 kilos  

Zackcat hope you are enjoying your first day at work!

Julie, how awesome your garden is getting a free watering   Which reminds me I need to drink more water too.

Mrs M, I am here!!  Just been busy   How is being unemployed going?

Kim, how did your hair go.  Wish I had time this week for a hairdressers appointment!  Goodness me, yes I bet that car was hot yesterday!  Maybe you will have sweated out a kilo?  Exciting news about the new job offer -- you going to take it?

PL glad Scooter is feeling better!  Pets though, the do end up costing a fortune! I'm still reeling at my vet bills for the last six months!

Oh Steph, I'm sorry about the house contract falling through -- what a pain   At least there is a bright side!

Hello Rose I am here Good news they are cutting back on your dads injections.  Where is Hat Head?!  I better check my flights too!

Ok hello to everyone else, I have to rush, I'm so busy at work, but will be back later xo

Check out my new business: www.slapcosmetics.com.au

I have had a busy day. What's new? I have tried to catch up on housework, only my bbsitter (paid for by the foster care ppl) didn't come. She is really reliable so I suspect she or her boss mistook the cancelling last wednesday for cancelling altogether.. :-(. Hopefully I can sort that one out. With respite being cancelled this week I have not got any time to myself at home to catch up on stuff so I have tried. Miss 16 is home on a study before exams day so she has fed changed and babysat while I mopped the boys play area. Miss 19 is home from work now the poor thing, I still have big plans to do the bathroom and toilet and actullly tidy my room... I can dream can't I?

Can't believe it is wednesday already, where is the week going?

 Thank you so much Mally!!

Hug your kids often, you never know when it will be your last chance.
