day by day

Another week of work down and tomorrow off :-)

Had a big night last night. Clare (sydney solargain) was staying and as i didnt get home til 9pm it was 1 am before we headed off to bed. good night though and a few drinks was had.

A busy week ahead for Mark and I. Stocktake monday and a chance for a clean slate at the local liquorland. I am off to sydney of wednesday for a two day training course. I am sure mark will be busy painting and making walls fall....

wow its been a week without blogging

soo much has happened. i am getting into the swing of my own store again and cleaning it out and up. stocktake on monday so its going to give me a chance to have a fresh start. doing some recruiting this week hopefully some talent in canberra as unemployment is very low. i am sure all the good staff have been taken.

on the other hand mark has a set of keys. yes keys to the shop. finally. so this afternoon it was a matter of the boys doing boys things and smashing the extra walls down. it needs a heap more work but its so nice to finally have a shop.

All is revealed

Yes so one staff member less and I have my own store again. Yes it needs lots of work and i have a challenge ahead of me. but its close to home and i should have it sorted out in a couple of weeks, meaning no more 60hr weeks. I will be doing my 40hrs that i get paid for.

Sunday off this week so will get to relax for a while before irsh gets here from Perth :-)

Its there for the taking

well as promised here is my work update.....

I spent all morning printing reports and burning information to DVD resulting in a 3 hour interview with asset protection. finally after 8 hours i get to come home and a particular staff member was walking to the police station......

More tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed for promotion :-)

What a busy little start to the week. Had a good weekend not having to work was nice. Sunday was really nice - rainy weather and just mark and i for the day. went to some markets and got some really good cheese, olives and fruit/veg which kinda just led to a hiring a DVD and eating all this good cheese and small goods......

Mark had a pretty stressed working Monday and spent all night printing - worth it in the end. Tender was submitted on time. Its been a little easier with home visits so far this week for him but still keeping him on the phone and email all day.

the duplicate marriage certificate arrived yesterday so once again its mr and mrs mcgavock. so i spent the afternoon doing some paperwork. new drivers license again.
and my poor car has lost all its WA ness. it got service last week and given the go ahead to get it registered in ACT (kinda like going over the pits) so off to the license center yesterday and new number plates and new sticker. today it got new tires. lucky car:-)

My work......... All will be revealed tomorrow!!!!!!!

Friday

Yes its Friday and what a week its been.

I have some cards and off this afternoon to get some PIN numbers :-)

I have a couple of hours work this afternoon and being a DC delivery day means i want get much time other than to clean my one wine shelf. Its all soooooo dusty and dirty.
some rules are meant to be stretched but not broken, why break so many rules for so long? (well now i am around you might just suffer those consequences). I have to thank some good training and leadership that has made me think outside the square. If it all proves to be solid evidence i am sure you will all know quick enough :-)

Mark still doesn't have a shop and is sick of waiting and waiting and waiting. he has a few sales and its all ticking along nicely. only a few home visits booked for next week but the weeks tend to fill up pretty quickly. Only one more week and the electrician will be here.

Valentines weekend and as i haven't had any access to money believe i have a good excuse for not buying any pressies.

The rains are here

yep its raining again but before each wet spell we have massive massive thunder storms. and such loud loud thunder (poor nanna would have to go to bed with ear plugs).

Had a good start to the week - the work thing is getting there. got paid today so that kinda makes it feel better. off to queanbeyan next monday to help out and then off to sydney for a training course in early march. very quite store and its getting less and less dust.

Last nights semi gourmet dinner went down well. lamb fillet, cant seem to buy it in WA. lamb is Marks fav meat. it kinda felt good to make an effort again after feeling so down over the weekend :-)

pulling it together

well i have spent today getting another marriage certificate - via express post this time :-) and ordering new bank card. contacting library and other clubs/loyalty points to organize new cards. i am sure asking mark for money all the time is going to wear off very quickly.

spent the last two nights watching the sun rise. why is that i wake at 4am and don't go back to sleep until 6am...... must be stress and the reason i have a headache all day :-(

It was kinda nice to have the day off and spend sometime doing the paperwork etc. work again tomorrow and only for a couple of hours. enough to get me out of the house and home early to cook a gourmet meal for my husband as i haven't been the most pleasant person to be around the last two days. mmm will have to try something new :-)

lost and stolen

ugh i am supposed to write on this a bit more often. sorry mum.

Work is okay, very quiet store and with staff that don't have any idea, i spend all day filling fridges and pulling forward. i swear nothing has been done since i was there last. its all okay though and 20 hours this week means i can get my car serviced. (had to get a new battery this week already)
I was at work yesterday and was a bit busy and unfortunately my handbag was snatched. boo hoo. it had my newly received marriage certificate in it and my camera with photos that we had taken that morning on an adventure to telstra black mountain lookout. double boo hoo. luckily mark had dropped me off at work and had the car/house keys and my mobile was not in there. police and security where great but i don't hold hope (secretly wishing) that i will be getting my shit back. bastard bastard

have to move on!!!!!

feel a bit lost just my phone and keys to carry around.....

we have Paul (marks work mate from Perth arriving tonight about 10. and yes i will be in bed. he flies back on Tuesday night and will be visiting commercial properties with mark while here. schools and retirement homes are his gig....

mark and i ventured out to some markets this morning very very expensive but similar feel to the fremantle markets.

need to feel human again, will do the replacement cards and stuff tomorrow. GIVE BACK MY STUFF BUSTARD!!!!!

ps your on cctv and the police have your pretty picture :-)

back to work tomorrow :-)

Yes back to the world of employment tomorrow. Big 6 hour shift..... But its kinda nice to be able to ease myself into the employment world.

This leaves today to play in the garden/pond and remain in holiday mode. Yes bought some herb plants yesterday and looking forward to planting them and watching them grow until it freezers over? If that's what happens!

The pond before i attacked it!

Hi, Mark here, lorna has just supprised me with this web blog, what a clever wife i have, so now you will be updated on how we are, this is unreal.

bye for now

The beggining

Well i kinda decided it was good enough for my younger siblings to have a website it was now my turn. If its easy enough i will put the older brother on to it to. Seeing we are not in our home state no more its a quick and easy way to catch-up with each other and hopefully not as much as a time waster as face book. I am not sure how i will go with the photos and stuff but you never know if you don't give it a go........



But hey i can upload photos, come back to my post and edit it. I think i know what i am doing. HA HA that's the funniest thing i have heard.

Well the picture above is our first night in our house with furniture. (We arrived with two suitcases and had three days with only the suitcase.) We still had heaps of boxes to unpack and unsure of where things belonged. Still unsure on where somethings belong....
