4 sleeps

4 sleeps to go and I will be driving my new car. Whoop!! The 8 -9 weeks has gone fast but so slow at the same time. I have to say I have been very patient and I think it has taught me a bit of patience too. Good things come to those who wait. :) Our Personal loan is all but paid out. Our car loan will be gone as of Wednesday too. Yay! We will still have a loan sort of I guess as we are leasing the new car so everything will be paid before tax and up front on a monthly basis. It means worry free motoring.

Sian's team won their game of netball this morning. They are all starting to get the hang of the game slowly.
Brad had his first friendly game of the season. Not long now until his season starts full swing too.

Work for me again today. It's been a huge few weeks at work. My normal 36.5 hours a week and so far this month we can add on 27 hours of overtime ( no wonder I am feeling worn out!!)
It's good for the company. It looks like we will make budget for the first time in awhile. Hope things continue to look up.

Gareth's work is still going as well as normal, however some of his team have moved over to the global team in a money saving bid. He is now also the team manager for Brad's soccer team which I think is awesome.

I have not scrapped any more than cards in a class for so very long now. I really need to try and get into my craft area and put on my creative hat and hopefully just have some fun creating.

School holidays and Easter are looming on us. I think I can truly say I am looking forward to it this time around. It will be nice to spend some time with the kids and with Gareth I think they have all been a little neglected over the last few weeks :( Bad Mum and Wife. The house looks like a mess still, but hey that is life. I am beginning to realise that I will never be super woman :P

a day for relaxing and trying to do some housework tomorrow is in store. I want to go find some nice funky coloured stuff for my desk at work too. I am finally making it my space. I have moved it all about and have tried to iron the negativity of the previous occupant out. I moved the pc and found five cents. I think that is someone telling me it is the right move.

Anyways time to hit the pillow for some much overdue shut eye.

Love you all

Gorgeous Day at Puffing Billy today :)

We didn't go on the train. I think I might leave that for Brad's Birthday, see how we go with the 10yo attitude first though. I must say it's been a little bit on the grr side at the moment. But I know this too shall pass. Here are some pics from today ... took 340 in all LOL ... will put more up on my photo blog

Back again.... swapped colours for the car ... still waiting though. The green one is still about 8 weeks away now.... so we are getting a black on instead, and that one is about 2 - 3 weeks away now :D Can't wait.
Work is still going mental. So busy, and trying to train up the new staff. however one of the new girls has been away more than she has been there unfortunately. I am playing boss lady again this week. Welll not really boss lady. Just the go to girl while Kathy is away.

The weight loss is going no where at the moment. Rather disappointed with myself. But I hope to get back into it when things settle down a bit.

I am really struggling with some of the girls at work. I need to distance myself from the situation and just do my work and treat them as work colleagues and nothing more. If they want to bitch and be negative then I need to shut it out. I don't believe it is directed at myself as such. But then if they are bitching about 1 I dare say they are bitching about all.

There is 1 certain person that is always drowning herself to the point of stress and then wanting to take on more and more. She frustrates me no end as I believe she is one that has a lot of ambition. and there is nothing wrong with that.... however the way to the top should be earned and not climbing on others using them as a ladder. I know what I mean. She wants to be able to do everything herself and know how to do everything. There is far too much for 1 person to be trying to do this much. Not a team player maybe? Very much like her trainer who was very stubborn and bitchy/gossipy. :(  I am not being a nice person I know. Everyone has a reason that they are like they are. I want to be the better person and learn to let be what is and just enjoy my life. Stay positive. I need to learn to bubble myself against the negativity.

ANYWAYS enough about that.


Here is my gorgeous daughter from this morning. Singing with her grade at assembly.

hmmm well maybe not... I apparently recorded it upside down &*(&&%%#$


photos instead maybe :) I was lucky enough to get my new Macro lens :D so happy

See you all soon  :)
