wow huge 10days

family reunion in Westport was fantastic-awesome to see my family. Weather was AWESOME we had a bueat visit to my grand parents old farm...not much of wat once was actually all that was left was a LARGE camelia tree, then we went back to my aunties and we loaded up our cars for beach picnic. We had yummy lunch then dwn to the water for a paddle and the kids and men had a game of cricket on the sand fun to watch. Later we went back to our accomodation had a rest and shower etc. Out for dinner at 6.30 beautiful meal smoreborg and eat to much oh what a surprise there. We then went back to my aunties for coffee and cake and lots of reminising(sp). AFolded up about 11. We had to be out of accomodation by 10 as standard but part of the celebrtations was church serive at 9.30 I was late. After church was a visit to the cemetry-then on to my cousins for lunch and more catching up and family chatter.

i had planned to go home Sunday afternoon but changed my mind so stayed till Tuesday and my 2 brothers went home in my car. Nice to have a relaxed day on Monday we did go dwn the street shopping-I had bought a beautiful vase and mum wanted to go to same shop to buy a gift for her neighbour who was looking after watering the garden and feeding chooks etc. But when we got there they were closed for 10 minutes while doing deliveries (it was a florist as well as gift shop) so we wondered a long streeet a couple of shops and came to postie fashions...they had a sale on Mum bought a couple things and I bought some more trousers I know I have enough clothes to set up my own clothing shop but they were on sale 1/2 price so dwn to $15 then buy 1 get 1 free so 2 pr trousers for 7.50 each how good is that...both are size 18 for next summer.

We (Mum Dad and my Chch auntie and I) travelled back to Chch on Tuesday it was bloody hot I can tell you and I got travel sick havent been car sick in a hundred years and felt like shit to be honest. Alan picked me up from Aunty Phyl and he had a doctors appointment while I was aawy he was vomittin etc and didnt seem to want to stop turns out food poisoning from dodgy chciken pizza. Also suspected he might have had a heart attack. so ecg and bloods and chance of an ambulance turnign up if results were differnet(a precaution as he has already had heart attack) it wasnt thank god. left doc and went to supermarket to get sum supplies bought some veges to make him some vege soup and some V 8 juice and Chi so he bought up his nutrition etc. But of course this wasnt to be as i grabbed 2 pumkins priced at 2 for $2 but when they wnt thru check out charged at $3.99 each. No says check out chick that the other pumkin at that price I said very well may be but these r the ones with the price ticket on. So after a very heated converstation with the Duty Manager and not getting my produce. I rung and laid a complaint next day and the brunt of it a voucher is in the post to purchase pumkins

This weekend was very busy Friday had a pedicure and maassage booked...have greeen toenails how cool. Sat mornign hair appointment at 11 then home pick up gear and drive out to Oxford for a wedding got there early not a good idea cause I sat in the car balling my eyes out recalling last time I seen all these people I was 50 k lighter so had a poor me moment and nearly turned around and came back home. I didnt and had a good time, bed about 4am. Stayed the night at Yvonne left about 10.30 home for a quick shower and out again to a meeting/coffee with some Chch support group I belong to a great day. Home 4.30 and whacked so had a nana nap till Alan came home from wrk...blobbed since and will be havign an ear;ly night

what could a girl do-

I took my Mum to Farmers today, she was looking for a pair of warmer weight tidy trousers incase it turns cold in weekend. We are all off to a family reunion in Westport. So we went to Farmers as I said ..well they had racks of clothes REDUCED to $20 so what could I do. But buy some heheh bought 3 pair there myself and um got a nice dressy pair best she has ever had in her life I'd say down from $100 to yeap $20...a size 20 she tried them could do with a smaller size didnt have any oh well these will do ( she has a tummy problem at mo and it blows up like a poisoned pup so good for those times. I then took her to the Cathlic Chapel in square as it is Ash wedneday how did that happen means it is only 6 wks till flippen Easter. As the chapel is just across road from Columbo St farmers I said I'd hope in and see if they had them in an 18 there...they didnt but sum how another 3 pair of trousers jumped in my bag and $60 came out of my wallet to pay for them what could a girl to do they were only $20 each some down from $100 I did get a 22 in the same as mothers cause they were pretty flash. So got 6 pairs trou and a black top which is real nice, will post photo of top tomorrow the trouser probably wont photo gragh well being black, all for $140.

What could I do afterall.

Also bought a nice dress and top for Brooke(step daughter) for $30 so had a great day.

Also after dropping Mum off I shot out to Lincoln to visit with a girlfriend she use to live in Twizel a dear friend , who I missed dreadfully when she moved up to Chch. She is very keen to become a linen consultant so we chatted about that and she is coming to a meeting next Thursday for the launch of the new releases for Feb and March and a mini home show. Also my Avon lady came around tonight to pickup her linen order and she is also interested in being a Linen consultant...so much easier than Avon a million times over. So Jenny is also coming to the meeting so may have 2 new ladies starting under my name yippee.

I also caught up with another mate who I have been trying to organise a catchup with since I moved back to Chch and we just havn't managed it so great to see her too.

then my parents came over for tea...we had a lovely vege bake and fish fillets which I whipped up licketty split when I arrived home at 6.45 Alan is due home at 7.30 and Mum and Dad where coming at 7. It was yum yum meal.

Mum and Dad leave tomorow for Westport and I am off on Friday. I have an appointment with the surgeon and then my Aunt and cousin are coming for lunch to see our new home etc,(from Westport aunt had bowel cancer surgery 19th Dec and has to come over for her check up-just what she needs as it is her that is doing most of the reunion organising, but knowing Aunty P she will just go with the flow and hardly even faize her). After lunch I'll go and pick up my 2 brothers and we'll be on our merry way to Westport too...arriving in time for first of the arranged events a dinner at my Aunts house yep u guessed it the one that is in Chch for hospital appointment...that is why Mum and dad are going a day earlier to help her other 2 daughters to get ready.

All in all a GREAT day

Sadly Alan and Brooke are no longer coming over to Westport, I was so looking forward to us having our first 'Family' holiday in the bestest place in the whole wide world.... Carters Beach, Westport. Alan had organised time off from work Friday and Sat morning shifts(back in December), his rostered days off are Sunday and Monday and then they renegged on the Sat cause they couldn't get a driver to fill his shift we are all very pissed off.

Right it is now 10.45 I have been posting this for wat seems like hours and it is time for bed. I have a big day tomorrow and still havnt packed wonder what I will find to take with me hehehe.

Night all

I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!!!!

I just emptied out my wardrobe and draws and this is the pile of clothes...this is excluding my knit clothes under clothes and jackets and coats also doesnt include the new clothes I bought in Aussie, or the 4 large boxes of clothes I have in the spare room that are listed on trademe. And guess wat I just no sooner took this photo and a courier arrived with the order I got from aussie when I got home last week I went online and got some more stuff...2 tops and 2 prs
of slacks.

Now the task is to weed out all the old crappy clothes that I have been wearing move my good clothes to casual wear and make room for the good and casual clothes i have bought recently and the new Felicity is about to imerge.

I am in for a busy afternoon

home

I had a MARVELLOUS time in Melbourne weather wasnt as hot as last year but still pretty warm, I only ventured out twice in the daytime ... mind you did mange to do a heap of damage to my bank balance in that time. Spend well in excess of $1000 on clothes for ME. will post some picks later...but if u r looking for nice clothes I found a heavanly place called Autographs and thye have online purchases there them is "its all about you" and I made sure that was the case.

I spent A$5oo there and since being back another 280 online. some REALLY nice stuff. I also went to Target got several tidy every day tops and Myers for some TS14 got an awesome out fit there wore it Sat night (a wee bit snug but that will soon change)

this with a green lycra top under and black pant(also bought the black and plum tops to go with it too) because I have a TS14 card although dudnt have it with me I got 30% discount of each item beacuse I got 4 or more. This will be good for at least 30 or more kilos off so whacky doo.

I have thrown out all my grotty polo shirts I have been wearing with hideous rubbung and marks on them, I have also thrown out a supermarket bag of other crappy clothes I dnt need them I might show u all the pile of clothes I have one day I need to make some wardrobe changes might do that on Monday.

The conference was excellent and I learnt heaps. If you ever get the chance to listen to Mary Christiansen as a motivational speaker she is incredible. The launch of the new releases for 2010 was incredible some absolutely glorious STUFF. Cant wait for my kit updates to arrive.
