oh great just wat i need

just a huge day tomorrow and I can;t sleep. GREAT.

We are moving last of stuff up from Twizel tomorrow and handing house over to new owner so I need every little bit of energy I can muster and it is 10 2 12 and I am sitting posting on my blog what is wrong with this picture.

I have just had had a hot lemon drink and will try again just wish I could turn my head off and the pain in my knee off..might have 2 more panadol even though not due for more till 1 it only an hour away after all.

I am whacked

dnt know y I am so flippen tired...well yes I do dragging this extra weight trying to do the things I was doing 6mths ago b4 I got sick, and my knees and varicos viens are constantly throbbing usually wake me thru the night which of course is another reason for being so tired. Had hoped once house has sold I would get some sleep...well actually when i think about it it's not that I am not sleeping it just that I am always so sore and tired.

Had a lovely day today Alan was off wrk, which is very unusal for him to have a day of mid week so we had a lazy morning well doing those silly around house things that need doing although if u could see my lounge u would wonder what I had been doing. We decided to redeem a voucher for a meal that I got for my birthday at Montieths Reastuarant in Avonhead village...highly recomend it beautiful meal...would have loved a deserrt but just was so stuffed a pudding would have spoilt it. Tehn Alan went out to pokies with $20 last time we did the pokies was January 2009 so not like it is a habit but might become one we won 800 on pokies jan 9 and blow me if he didnt hit the jackpot today $900 thank you. He gave me 300 for my aussie trip so have already been and turned it into Aussie money so cant spend it. Pays to shop around I priced Aud at National bank $12 commission and only $7 at post shop

so a good day

monday

been a good day for most part

I am extremely tired bt that is just cause I dnt think I have stopped since before Christmas...took me all my time to get out of bed today. bummed around doing all those things that just get done rung a girlfriend and nattered to her for about an hour it was a lovely fine day which was great cause I had SO much washing the line was buckled under the weight and as much again tomorrow.

had a house full of people over weekend in one form or another....Friday night had Anthony and his partner and my grand daughter staying also had my partner daughter so gr/daughter and step daughter had a great time. But as well for tea had my parents and 2 brothers and niece and nephew 4 and 6 so our poor WEE flat was very noisy.

Sarah just wasnt geting in the bath but she was happy to drown poor Brooke cute all the same

I took Anthony and family to plane at 4.30 5ish Satuday morning and back home to bed for couple of hours. Had a linen party on the Saturday afternoon so took step daughter with me and her dad picked her up when he finished work and 3pm...she is a good kid and took her lunch with her and she sat up at table...good party. Headed over to aunties after then home about 7.

Sunday Alan worked so he txt me did i want to meet him at 2.22 and come out on his bus route with him so I meet him and got home again just after 7 cooked tuna bake for tea...but after 8 when we ate again then sat on bum for the night another several pounds on the bum.

back to today I have been having trouble with the ignition of my mighty rav and today it just wouldnt start so a big truck came and took it away a sad sight watching it housted up by its back legs and slung on a truck dragged down the street to be fixed. I had it booked in for some repairs and TLC a day spa for a mighty Rav but not till Feb when my house money comes thru so not sure if it will be off road till then could get by but be a pain...will take Alan to wrk tomorrow morning and have his car for the day ick that means a 5.30 start.

but for now it is bed time...good night.

it is offical

Sale on house has been confirmed...it has all gone thru, take over date is 1 Feb.

Huge load off but sad time too...I am going to make the most of this oppurtunity to go forward in life and look out world Felicity is on a come back.

Got loads to do today some I had arrnged for today so as I was busy waiting till 4pm came when I was to hear sale confirmation. But also have a house to clean out for visitors coming this afternoon and had a linen party here yesterday and just left the packing up till now so best move my blooming butt.

couldnt sleep AGAIN

hope once house has gone thru and all that is behind me I light be able to sleep better...things are looking up though it is payday today and I still had about $8 in my purse from last week been so long since that has been the case I can tell you. Confirmation date tomorrow it is sounding like it is a forgone conclusion but I am still expecting something to go wrong.

Going to be a busy day so hope that will help keep my mind off it all, meeting my cousin for lunch at 12. She will be in Chch for an appointment she lives in Blenheim so will be good to catch up. Then I pick up Brooke at 4.30 we have her for the weekend, dnt usually get her till Sat but I asked if we could have her earlier because Sarah is suppose to be here Friday night and will be nice for them to spend some more time togehter. Sarah, my grand daughter and her family head back to Sydney on Saturday been here 2 weeks but I seen so little of them...again my grand daughter hasnt a clue who I am. Very sad in Twizel on Sunday when she said to her Mum tell that lady to go away that lady wat a kick in the teeth that was. Then yesterday I was talking to a friend, her grandson is same age as Sarah, and they see a huge amount of there grand children and she was telling me how she surprised them with a visit on Sunday and the responce she got from her grandson...I cried. oh well that is how it will be...I am going to suggest to Anthony that we have a little more contact...after all he can find time to ring his half sister on Christmas day but not his mother.

Working this afternoon with a linen party hope it a little better than yesterday no one turned up I truely think the host didnt invite anyone but ya get that sometimes.

I am off to Melbourne on 4th Feb for a 4 day conference with my linen. Now I will have some money it will be so much more enjoyable...not that I will be able to go crazy buying stuff but at least I will be able to eat the 2 days the confernence doesnt provide food and I might even be able to buy a bottle of wine this year instead of sitting there like a stuffed mallet while everyone else was enjoying the bubbles like last year cause I was out of money. Mind you it didnt help that I left my credit card at home that I had loaded with a 1000 dollars.

I do want to buy a pr of white pants and red top from mysize shopalthough looking online to get this pic cant see it on there web site so I will be narked if cant get it. I want to wear to the bbq on the sunday of the conference.

Right there is the washing machine finished and it is now light enough to hang out so will get to that and start the day.

Talk later

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

YUP IT SOLD
Didnt get my asking price but didnt go below my bottom price either...I knew if I didnt accept it the next step was the bank would sell it and I'd have got nothing and still owe heap to shit loads of ppl as i have been living on credit basically for 12 months. Goes unconditional on 22nd Jan and possession is 1st Feb, only conditions of sale are lim report so that won't be an issue all the alterations have been done with consents etc. I am stoked I am a little sad at same time as I love my little house but I can now move on and I have big planns for me and improving my health.

I am heading to Twizel today got a linen party in Ashburton so heading Twizel after (have a party on Sunday in Twizel) but most exciting I will get to have a wee visit with my grand daughter...spoke to her on the phone on thursday afternoon she is 2 and 1/2 and that is first time I have ever talked to her on a phone. How sad is that. I have been introduced to Angelina Bellarina never heard of her a wee mouse that has a ballet dress...cute as a button I did a little bit of research on computer good old google. As I finished the call I said see ya later aligater...and she came back with in a while crocodile in her little aussie kiwi irish twang so cute makes me tear up now just thinking about it...I so miss that girl how can ya miss something u have never had.

ok best get my butt into action it already 9.30 my bag isnt packed and I have to have a shower be out by 10.30 at latest

did I tell u my house has SOLD

SOME EXCITING NEWS

I Have a contract of sale for the house bloody exciting...not going to accept it will counter offer as you do but I am stocked...it is only subject to LIM reports and the usual building inspection.

The best birthday present I could have hoped for.

Had a lovely lunch on Friday with a mate from Invercagill she was in Chch for a couple of days but couldnt stay till Sat...was great to catch up

BBQ was great s HUGE day filled of up and down emotions. Several of the things I had organised for party didnt arrive on time so very annoying and waste of dollars. My son and grand daughter were flying over from Sydney but there plane was delayed several hours and we were begining to wonder if they would make it at all. But in the end it was a FANTASTIC night...some lovely gifts got 2 gorgeous bunches of flowers photo of one of them

Had few kiddies here so Brooke, Alan daughter and Sarah my grand daughter finally got to meet they played together great....I didnt get any photos of them playing but it was neat to see them all chuming up.

We had no family arguements all bull shit that seems to usually spoil our family gatherings I remember my 21st ended in a food fight and blood then one of the guest rung the cops and dobbed my cousin in for drinking and driving. it turned very nasty. Not to mention many a Christmas ruined by family crap. So a pleasant time and some neat memories.

Folded up about 11 which was plenty late enough for this old woman...half a centery u know. Actually my knees were very painfull and my feet and ankles felt like they wanted to explode with the swelling I was pleased to plonk into bed...well untiil I woke at 3.30 and lay on the couch in the cool remembering and enjoying the evening over again.

this pic has nothing to do with Saturday party just a shot from Christmas day I found on the camera...another neat memory to store.

But did I tell u I have a contract on my house so exciting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
