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

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 shop
although 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.

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.

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.

Christmas Post
this is going to be a Christmas post so thought I'd do it today while I am feeling not to bad.
Just been and had a coffee and catch up with a fello blogger great catching up. Then I went for a wander thru the Palms mall here in Shirley (a small mall compared to most but manic enough for me thank you) managed to get a nice summer dress for $20 at millers...of course it will need to be altered to fit me but still it had been reduced from $50 and should be easy enough to add a panel and still look tidy enough I am so over cookinng in this horrid heat. Also got a nice blouse for Mum for Christmas.
Yesterday went and meet another blogging /facebook friend we have been communicating for a long time but first time we could jell a meeting up...was neat to finally meet. And as i thought a lovely lady and hope we can catch up again soon in the new year.
This afternoon I had to pop around to pick up a trade me item I won wow when u think about it that was for me too wow a $7 blouse how selfish is that 2 things in one day. I past a house that was havign an Avon sale so called in...wouldnt actuall say it was a sale so much as a lot of avon for sale but anyways I have been hunting hi and low for sum bubble bath for Brooke (3 yr old step daughter) with no luck at all...seems girlie bubble bath is a thing of the past. Stock standard stocking filler when Anthony was a kid. So anyway she had some of the lavender BB so grabbed a bottle and went to 4 stores to get sum flippen Dora stickers and stuck them on bottle and Miss muffit will love her Dora bubbles.
Went to the doc this morning my bloods I had earlier in week were all borderline so need to improve my health...small steps drink more water, 3 20min walks a day, and eat some vegetables all things that were every day accurances and now few and far bettween so any of you can harrass me constantly about the 3. I go back early Feb and she wants some weight off shem isnt the only one I am so over this blob of a body.
Head to Timaru on Monday for a wee op at Tim hospital well that is if it isnt changed AGAIN this is the 4th date i have had. Nothing serious just a Merina inserted had one for a couple years and we tried it without see if flooding etc had stopped it hadnt so back goes another one.
Alan dad has been in hospital for 3 weeks had a fall so being held for observation etc think he is convinced a home would be better. His daughter took him to look at some today he was discharged from hosptial this morning I think it was a bit well u could have waited at least couple days before ya palm him off but wat am I to say. Alan had been around yesterday and mowed the lawns and aired the place out (he has 4 or those sickening automatic air freshner things in a little 1 bdrm flat and it is VERY over powering) did his washing etc I said i wasnt. and followed thru with it and didnt give in.
My Aunty had bowel cancer surgery last week so been up see her most days and the old man was in a different hospital of course so glad he home and Aunty Pat gone home today...long uncomfortable drive for her I would think to Westport hidious nrth west wind so sweltering heat all day.
well it is after 7 Alan will be home for tea soon 9 he is calling into see his old man after work so guess it will be closer to 8 b4 he gets home) just having chicken stirfry for tea so that will mena some veges huh even if only horrid frozen ones. and rice I think but best make a start so it ready when he get in the door so late for eating as it is.
Wish every one a happy and safe holiday season.
Love and hugs to all

new friends
I meet a fellow blogger on Sat for coffee we chatted for several hours think this friendship might grow. Also meet a new linen consultant who we seem to have clicked so will see where that goes too. Both live in this area so how good is that.
have a linen meeting on Sunday with the launch of the January sale etc so that will be exciting.
I have booked my airfares and accomodation for Melbourne in Feb, for linen Conference, so god lets hope the house sells SOON
on the house sale front NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has happened with the agent I had she showed 1 person thru no interest at all funny thing the other company have sold over 10 properties in the same time i had mine listed and one house was listed one day and signed up and sold 2 days later so bull there are poeple out there wanting to buy. So I have taken house off there books and listed with another agent this person had contacted me 3 times while house was listed exclucive so couldnt do anything but hope it goes real quick have dropped my price too sadly but if I dnt do sumthing soon the bank will forclose not to mention all the other bills I have I may come out with 10grand but better that than bankrupt. Have an open home on weekend.
so if u know anyone who knows anyone who wants a home in Twizel I know where there is a nice 3 bdroom house just waiting for them to move into.
When I had coffe on Saturday we talked about weight loss and changes to make to foods etc so have made a few wee changes had slipped back into some real BAD habits I need and want to get this weight off.
That being said I went to hospital on Friday to see specailist (I am mending have medication change and some more physio so all in all he was pleased with me Not aloud to go scuba diving drat just wat I wanted to do) I got on hospital scale and I havent gained quite as much as I thought I had but still back up to 146.8k and that is a gain of over 20k and not acceptable.
I have decided to do a 6 k walk in March so need to get some fitness back by then.
best get back to housewrk Alan is home at 4 today so will be nice to have him home for the evening, normally doesnt finish till 8 he is actually on his roster day of but asked to wrk extra so is doing overtime.

Can't even rember my last post so maybe repeating myself
We have moved into our flat in Burwood it cosy but I love it here...2 bedrooms and small yard so very easy to keep. It takes me less time to vacum the whole place than it did to vacum just the lounge in Twizel.
I am plodding along with my linen. I really could do better but it is a what you put in you get out situation and I am not putting in what I should be.
Alan and I are settling into a family life nicely(this week he is tired and grumpy cause he is wrking 13 days straight but a girl can give him a little bit of lea way there, only a little mind u cant let him think he is boss) We are suppose to be getting caught up with debt but seems more comes in before any is cleared this week the car needs wrk for a warrant over 300 dollars gggrrr. So think we r taking it off the road for a bit and Alan will use scooter to get to wrk...weather is much milder now although it is dark when her leaves at 5.30 but that will soon change...will be cheaper to run fuel wise too. The company he wrks for is moving yards tand will be 30 mins dr away next month. That peeved us off a bit cause that is afterall why we looked in this flippen area for accomodation. oh well naught we can do about it.
Alan daughter Brooke (she is 3) and I are getting on well I enjoy having her here but god am I stuffed when she is gone..it is full on. I am so over emptying the potty but she is scared to sit on toilet...we have bought a trainer seat and when she is next here I'll try her on that would save me SO MUCH wrk.
Ok my health yeah well that is keeping ok...when I remember to take my meds and I see this morning I never took them yesterday ooops. I go for breathing exercises on a tuesday and chest physio once a month...I have chest xray and breathing moniter test on Monday to see if any improvement. Also have a mammogram (just regular checkup) on Tuesday and new IUD thingy the following Tuesday so other than my knees I should pass a warrant myself heehehe.
ok that is enough rambling for time being...notice I havent mentioned the weight there is a HUGE reason for that.

Asthma and Broncitis coming and going evedry couple of weeks...been getting worse over the last month...been to dr 4 times in 3 weeks and no improvement and then wham Sunday afternoon I couldn't get my breath had a nebuliser but still no sucess sucked on inhaler all afternoon and just got worse had another neb at 5 then Alan run an ambulance 3 more neblits in ambulance and at hospital with lights flashing. Of course I was put in quarantine till they decided I was flu free chest xray revealed I had a collapsed lung FUCK so a wee op to insert a tube into the left lung and train it...because the repritory ward had a flu scare I was addmitted to cardiac ward at 1.30am not alot of sleep had but was bloody nice to be able to breath. Had been so SCARY I tell you and alone...unfortunately Alan also is crook so wasnt aloud in the hospital because f infection so here I am fitting for breath and just wanting him to make it all better and he couldnt help me...very lonely

being unemployed sucks
Alan is still looking 4 work and getting so disgruntled with every rejection costing a fortune to get nowhere...just as example this morning down to get a paper 1.80 and 3 phone calls to cell number 1.50 each to be told sorry job already gone.
spent 90 mins on phone to telecom yesterday got nowhere there...I cancelled our phone b4 leaving twizel arranged that yeap could still have cellphones and mobile broad band etc nothing would change....yesterday at 3pm I had no email so rung at 5 to see why oh you cant have email on mobile broadband FUCK after 90 mins and shuffled around about 6 different ppl I got disconnected. Was OVER it all so never rung back will start that battle again today.
rung State Ins to say my house was unoccupied like ya would and told oh we dnt insure unocciped house yr insureance will cancell end of month...after arguing the point for half an hour I hung up. Grumbled and ranted about it for 5 mins rung the twizel real estate agent to see how there empty houses and holliday homes are insured she is gonna get back to me today. Then i rung state back again got a different person and a different answer i said ok if I go to Aussie 4 3wks holiday house is unoccupied so are u saying it not insured oh no she says that is different I can't see how but I got an extention to end of July re insurance and will fit that battle again another day.
PLUS the mail that was redirected from home arrived and it was an overdue rates demand pay now or else $700 an overdue phone bill pay immediately $900 and a did u forget your power bill $200 and car rego is due
WHAT MORE CAN A GIRL DEAL WITH IN ONE DAY

Already got an appointment to see real estate agent in Twizel on the 26th, when I go dwn home again, to sell house it has to be done...just a very big debt around my neck I don't need and can't handle.

thought I'd show my face here again...fat and chubby face that it is getting.
Things have quietened down a lot this last 2 weeks thank god cause I was wearing very thin to the extent it was effecting my work and I got taken into the bosses office last Thursday he asked if everything was alright cause I had been making silly mistakes and something that was costing money and time to fix PULL YA HEAD IN FELICITY. But I am down to 3 jobs now and thing should be much smoother...that being said I have slowed right down this week to a dead stop...had couple of days working in Chch with linen and got a bloody bout of broncittis and feel like I am at deaths door. Stayed 2 extra days in Chch then came home Wednesday and bloobbed since...12 noon and still in my dressing gown. Will get dressed soon have to go to Omarama and deliver Avon this afternoon should have been done last weekend. Linen has been going really well I have exceeded my targets the last 2 months...if any of you know of anyone in mid/lower south island that I could contact re a linen party PLEASE let me know. Couple of big months ahead...starting on 14th Lorraine Lea Linen do HUGE promotion for Kids with Cancer thru the year and go all out for 2 weeks end of August...lots of parties and hoping this year to raise over 100 thousand and more exciting itsgoing to Starship Foundation here in little old Kiwiland, helping to refurbish 8 preteen units at Starship...FANTASTIC. I am donating a percentage of my months sales plus runnning a raffle at parties and will take it around town next week selling tickets. Plus I will have a party with all the party credits going to the Foundation so hope to raise $500 myself. So if anyone wants a raffle drop me a line hehehe prize is a Pj bear-see website for a picture of this cute wee fella...any sales of this bear $3 goes to the program.
Later
well I got to Omarama and did my Avon deliveries had a nice coffee and a peice of scrummy rocky road cake sure it was low calorie hehe. Was a lovely day but biter cold breeze and of course made me cough like an old man but nice to get out of the house...tomorrow I'll deliver the Twizel orders.

missing in action
but been having a ball for the most part....my computor crashed big time so I have lost all my blogs. Couldnt even remember what I had called my new one but thru some detective work found myself again hehehe
weight management has been the last thing on my mind to be honest.
Have taken up selling Lorraine Lea Linen (www.linenparties.com) if u want to have a look love to travell to your place for a party. Been extremely busy-at one stage I had 5 jobs but knocked it down to 4 and one will be coming to an end next month perhaps.
Most exciting news of late is that I have bought my house back off himself...translated I have mortgaged myself to the wall to get back what ones was mine but I can say my home again.
good to be back but my bed is calling me
