I will be a checkout chick at pak'n'save told ya it wasn't glamorous. Go in to sign my paper work and pick up uniform on Monday start tuesday but i will be telling them I am not available to work Nov 18-20 cause I am in Palmerston Nth not missing that for anything.

dont know how far I'll get but...


here goes.

September 2nd sitting up at 3am because I have the cough from hell and lie down makes me cough more...my throat is so sore from heavy breathing and coughing.

Where am I at otherwise-Well i am living at my girlfriends house. A lovely girlfriend she is to let me live here..she now lives out of town and house was empty. I had a very rough 6mths or so after Alan and I split up and still days when I'd go back if he was to ask, knowing all the time this is toxic and the wrong thing. I miss what i wanted from him(hadn't had it for a long time but still miss it) I also miss Brooke, so arranged a catch up (thru her mother)with her last week when Mum was in town so that was very special and I hope to do it again not often but maybe once before Xmas hell that not far away.

And the weight well i am a size 18 I am weighing in at 97.9 and I am feeling bloody marvellous...some days I still think fat and ugly but nice clothes etc help conquer those thoughts. like tonight I was at a meeting the face heater came on over my head making me cough I got up to sit on another chair (white plastic picnic chair you all know the type we fear) I thought I cant sit in that it will break and then thought ah hello that is the old fat you this you wont break a chair this you there is room in it this you can be comfortable sitting in it without fear.

I'm back and so many developements

I had an awesome break...made a lot of dissions main one being ALAN must move out. It just isnt good for me him 'flating'here its kills me I have to get on and over him. So I have told him he has to go he was looking like being a pain about it but he then thought about it and he has said he will go I have given him till end of month to find something. He also has a custdoy hearing mid month that he needs to get over but that isnt my worry I HAVE TO LOOK AFTER ME.

I have no idea how I am going to aford living here alone so best get some more shit loaded on trade me and pick up the linen parties REAL soon. I am mindful this is the problem I had when marriage split up I wrked so much to keep house (and still lost it) that I had no concept of time and food consumption and gained back most of my weight lost.

I have just book to do the Dunedin marathon cool. Moro Marathon is a tough one cause a lot of hills but I have done it before so it can be done. Also going to do Chch city to surf in March (12k) and Chch Marathon in June so I have a challenge for the year.
So havnt got time to be sitting around mopping over broken heart and lost love.

http://www.moromarathon.co.nz/training_schedule.php

Also want to go to Elton John concert in November in Dunedin

for now I need to get my shit together for today

I have a meeting with councoller at 12.30 coffee group with WLS girls at 2 and pool at 5 then support group meeting for WLS clinic at 6.30 so am thinking I might flagg pool and go for a 30 min walk instead...I can park at the clinic and go for a wlak around the block then just go to the meeting.(suppose to have Zumba at 7.15 but cant do that tonght so hope to go tom morning)

just got this in an email oh how true

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

day 2 or interveiw process today

my appointment is 4.30 this afternoon so have to keep busy today so dnt get all churned up about it...off soon to do groceries that will keep me busy.

yesterday was an introduction I came away less confident though as there was like 22ppl and only 10 jobs so someone is going to miss out. But all my credit and police checks will be cool and my referees so hopefully some of the 22 will be knocked out there somewhere. I like what they said about the job and am SURE I can do it afterall it is customer service and that is what I have done for about 15 years.

ok its now after 11 so best move myself have a great day and I'll report back later

I just come across this a bit of light smut that made me smile hope it doesn affend

1 more day of this year left

well this year is nearly over.
I have 2 parties to go to New Years Eve.
I am house sitting for my girlfriend so a bit of releif from the pain and pressure..but it has to be done I have to ask Alan to leave my home. He is communicating with smut and I cant deal with that. That filth in my home isnt appropriate and guess what he couldnt stop when we were in a partnership and he supposedly loved me he isnt going to stop ever. So i have to ask him to leave. I am so worried about being away and how my home will be when I get back one of the reasons to not say anythng b4 I going to housesit. rambling over.

thanks for your support and contact re this I feel such a looser


some good news heheh

I was given a pretty dress from Pagani(think that the right spelling)size 18 and it fits That is a brand that does normal fittings sizes dnt even to over sized clothes
whaky doo

There was something I was going to actually say here but now cant remember what it was.

Sad lonely lump of lard

well it has been a while since I posted but there has been a reason.
I havent had anything positive to say and still dont for that matter.

I came back from Palmerston North and was slapped in the face with a wet fish well felt like it....to be told I wasnt in a relationship any more he decided it was over. Ok yup I know that for the best no longer under the influence of the cheating lying prick but still hurts still miss him at night still blame myself.

We have stayed in the flat until Xmas as such because we had told Brooke father christmas was going here with her presents and to close to change her thoughts without confusion the kid has very little stability in her life. It was bloody hard I tell you trying to pretend happy families. i had bought heaps of stuff for brooke for christmas but only gave her 3 parcels and her santa sack (which contained mostly stuff I had bought) the rest will be placed on trade me and i'll get my money back. Now I dnt know where we go from here...I cant afford to live here on my own(actually not sure I can afford to live any where) So financially staying flatting makes sence but oh it is hard. Knowing he is txting and emailing someone else over 600 txt in 5 days tell me that is innocent and harmless friend ship.

eating way to much shit

close that for now, couple of wines and thinking makes for tears and sadness

crap on tv might watch dvd Rainman perhaps

We have been helping my fiend Ngaire shift house today long story and to tired to go there tonight but just lets say we started at 7.30 this morning and Alan is still moving stuff about in the dark, of course the stuff he is moving now is our crap that has bee cluttering up the garage since we move it all here in Febuary and I wasnt allowed to touch so i am not helping I am digging my toes in. I cooked a yummy roast chicken dinner (cooked in over bag and so very tender and moist I think I have it mastered) Ngaire came for tea only left about an hour ago think she was to tired to go home...when she did I rushed around did my Saturday chores even more need to get them done this week as I am a working gal now and away next wkend I will be pushed to cover my tracks.

had a nice couple days in Twizel

shot down to Twizel on Wednesday back Friday short but sweet.

We rented a house as Mum is still very sore and not moving much after her hernia op, actually we didnt even tell them we were coming so a nice surprise for then and no fussing and baking etc on her part.

House was lovely we took Brooke with us so was nice to have a 'family' holiday.

I had a nice day today went to Farmers, Sharon got a top last week but some how ended up with a 14 when she got home not a 18 she needed so I changed it for her, Aso grabbed couple tops each for us on sale.

and a skirt for me black stretch with red tape and buttons very smart. will get the blouse to go with it next week.

then TS 14 grabbed a white basic essential white body tee...peeved off there casue they have a another girl started, i applied for a job there earlier this year but I am guessing she is young so therefore cheaper wages oh well that is there loss. I would have no doubt spent all my wages instore but hey that is life.

I also went across the road to check out the outfit I want to get for the wedding in December, I thought well i will try it on just to see how much I have to loose for it to fit size 16 after all when was I last a size 16 heavan knows...guess what I fitted it snuggly i will admit but also still had my jeans on and a skivvy so I can safely say it will look amazing in December...now I need the money to pay for it bought a lotto ticket in hope. But size 16 guys that is a 1 and a 6 not a 2 and a 6

16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16

can ya tell I am a happy camper.


Then I went visit my friend Ngaire she has had some more shitty news the flat she moved into in Feb then was burgled a couple mmonths back has now been put on market she was told to be sold with sitting tenant...only to be told today that it is likely it has been sold but the new buyer wants to live in it. She is thrown by this and really just lost as to what she can do...we will ring Tenancy group on Monday. Her rental agency she deals with didnt even know falt was on the market, great communication.

Aan mowed her lawns and did edges for her so looks nice and tidy...Ngaire planned to heave her gutt out doing it so nice we could do it for her.

Home in time to cook a yummy Thai Beef Salad for tea handled the sald fine first I have had since surgery.

Bed soon.

fantastic day

I have had an awesome afternoon-went over to Westfield mall for a fashion show
Great - Long wait becasue i wanted to be 1 of the 100 first there to get a gift bag of goodies and good prize it was too..lots of beauty products and perfume samples along with vouchers for stores promoted in the show(of interest to me is of course 20% of at u guessed it TS14 heheh not that I'll be buying anything there for a while have a layby to pay off from my last visit.EDIT well that didnt last long-was lying in bed thinking about my day and thought ah i could use that 20% voucher for the white body t I need so next week I'll grab one of them 20% is better in my pocket and it is an essential item not a luxury.

Some really neat out fits I like the 'Touch of Blush' look for the spring summer but that being said I did spied a GORGEOUS out fit that I am going to put on layby and it is very bright and out ther try and post a photo(not the best of photos but ya get an idea of the colours the blue is a indigo chiffon crinkle then bright flower under dress and tangarine over jacket also in that crushed look ($600) not so bad if ya say it fast..have a wedding to go to in Dec and it would be PERFECT.





I WON A SPOT PRIZE OF $50 vouchers so bought a nice belt from K&K, COMPLETELY out of my comfort zone not sure I have EVER worn a belt certainly not funky one like this. I also put my name down for the capri's and t in the pic with the belt they dont arrive in until next month, to complete the outfit and they had 20% off for the night so I bought a nice black and red tunic with $90 from a sale of jewellery I had early in the day.





Only thing is it sort of doesnt fit in with the 'I AM NOT BUYING ANYMORE CLOTHES' mantra I am suppose to be living by heheh
Tomrrow I am back to Westfield again for the second part of the workshop 'Fashions to look Fabulous over 50' now that will be interesting and that is when I will make the final dession on the wedding number, I might find something I like even better. i also want to know how to dress casual and still look great, guess that will come woth ever decreasing body.

I am whacked 3 good aftershocks last night so another broken sleep so my bed is calling me

Night all
EDIT well so much for sleep 5 aftershocks in an hour and I am back up again..had a drink was peecish so had cruskit and cottage cheese...guess i should try sleep again huh

lazy sunday afternoon

hey all just thought I'd pop in and say howdy.
i havent done much today pottered really listed afew things on trade me added more to my watch list done some house work had a nice wee visit from Miss Brooke earlier that was nice to hear her giggle. They have had to move out of there shack because of damage caused by the earthquake so Miss Brooke is feeling fragile and disoriented.

My man is out mowing the lawn it is threatening rain so home he gets it finished before the weather breaks. nice to see the freshly mowed lawns. he goes tomorrow for final interveiw for a new job he is so over working with people he is a bus driver and all this hassles with the earth quake has beeen the last straw for him...sum just cant understnad the city centre is closed no they cant be taken thru to see the damaged caused-not even just this once. Some folks are thick.

i have a stupid chest infection that has been giving me hell again since thursday hope the antibiotic and prendizone kick in soon so over being sick this has been my wrst year ever for chest infections and broncitis.

I go to see the surgeon on tuesday for my 3mth check up i am happy with how things are progressing for the most part so hope he is. Disapointed that I am on steriods again that will hinder my weight loss but had to be done.

off to make my man a coffee think he deserves it after doing such a spendid job of the lawns heheh

ok yeap I am still alive

Have had a hellish busy month some days I dnt get home until bedtime...wish I was making money while I was so busy but it all social pretty much.
Weight is dtill coming off-well I guess it is havent weighted in a while but probably tomorrow. My clothes are all getting loose so that is wat I am going by.
Time to get out the next size clothes and list some more on trademe, when I get some money on my trade account that is.
hightlight of my week is that I have got my tickets to go to Palmertson nth for the WLS meet and greet in November I am stoked I was beginning to think I wasnt gonna get there-but now I can say I AM GOING.

What do you think of a bloggers reunion it has been over 3 years since we had the one at Chris H in P/N and I think it is high time we had another. How does March 2011 in Chch sound for everyone. I dnt have a lovely big house like Chris did but sure we could come up with a venue somewhere. What do you all think as I dnt have many blogers on my list of favourites I'd have to be reliant of others spreading the word.

have had a nice sunday almost quiet even-had a sleep in til 9.30 then up and over to pick up Brooke Alan and I took her to the cemetry it is Alan mum memorial tomorrow 14yrs since she died in his arms still rips his heart every day. Then we went around to see his Dad. And my Mum is in Chch this week, it is her birthday on Tuesday, so took Brooke to see Grandma Margaret for half an hour. Now home in the quiet the sun is streaming thru the window but a bitter cold wind I was thinking about a walk but to be honest I am pooped ad think the rest will do me as much good.

Alan and I are going to the pictures tomorrow night going to see Salt-Angelina Jolie should be good got cheap tickets off the computer $4 each

right I am off now to enjoy the quiet and the sun hope it wont be another month before I get back to right more.
Let me Know what you all think of March bloggers get2gether

a year today since my lung collapsed

and guess what I have a friggen chest infection and feel like shit...I am not having a July like last year I am not.
I had been feeling good earlier in week even had some energy and the will to do stuff I thought yeapee I am getting there then got hit in the head with this bloody infection. Stuff it.

Beautiful sunny day I would love to go for a walk may go later for a wee one when it warms up a little but the arranged walk with the CHCh WLS support group was out of the question becasue it was like -2 and cold air makes me cough on a good day...the idea of staying snuggled under the blankets had far more appeal.

Had the personal trainer around on Thursday 6weeks post op...she has given me an exercise program and I can go back to the aqua jogging again so was to start tomorrow ah not gonna happen now. So will start that again next week. I am also going back to the breathing exercises on a tuesday that I started last year.
But the exciting part of the trainer visit for me was my measurements 41cms lost from my body...best results was hip 11 cms and greatest for me was top of arm 4 cms my arm fat has always been a thing for me.

We were to go out to Alan work socail last night but because we r both under the weather we didnt go I was really looking forward to us going out together we havent been out socailly since we mored to Chch except for my family stuff. Would have been nice to go out as a couple..and I had a dress I wanted to show off hehehe another time.

Ok I am off to make myself a hot lemon drink with honey and take a couple of panadol.
