pictures

When my bag got stolen i lost my digital camera :-(
But on Friday i moved to the world of apple and brought an Iphone. yes i have spent way to much time playing with it but have learnt how to upload pics off it.

The plant is about the only plant that you can buy over here. Most gardens are weeds and some houses are full of artificial plants

This picture is the side board that mum bought us for our wedding present it does have a matching table but we are waiting for that to arrive in ACT. About two weeks away.
Meanwhile i have put one of the dinner sets in our sideboard - which we got for our wedding present - its been through the dishwasher but its to good to use :-)

We had a win on Friday night. we quite often go to the local club for a cheap dinner and on Friday nights they have a meat raffle - we usually get about $5 or $10 worth of tickets - cause the food is cheap and alright the drinks are bloody cheap and well they are not getting any money of us for the pockies. We have been going for a couple of weeks and haven't won anything so this week we put on $20 and won TWO meat packs. I think we are ahead and have a freezer full of beef.
Yesterday the corned beef went in the slow cooker and we came home to lovely dinner after a busy day at work. Much to marks surprise he does like corned beef or I am just a better cook than he remembers his mum being :-)

Marks at the shop again today hoping that the builders have finished and he can start painting. I will see how they go but may go in later and see how i go at painting.......

Rest and Relaxation

Yes its Friday and i have the day off. Not much planned. We have had a fairly good week this week.

Marks shop is coming together really nicely. the reception walls should be up and standing today. Wil has started painting them (i secretly think he is enjoying the painting) and hates it with a passion especially as mark has spent the last day making sales. the sales are going really well and he has lost count of the number of sales.

I spent two days out of my store this week and went to queanbeyan one day and spent the day playing in another store. Wednesday i went to a northern suburb store and am sure that i am a nasty nasty person on the outside. I will be back in the northern suburbs next Wednesday and doing my usual stuff resulting in a staff member being dismissed for theft. Its not my fault that i know the difference between right and wrong.

We had our cleaner come through on Tuesday it was so nice to come home to a perfectly clean house with a clean fresh smell to it.

Yep so i know we are "dinks" - double income no kids with a dishwasher and cleaner. But we both work full-time and this is our little thing that we would rather pay for than do ourselves.

Well i am off to look at getting a new phone, send a package off to mum and enjoy my day of rest and relaxation. might even play in the garden :-)

Friday :-)

Yep its Friday and to make it all that bit more exciting i have Saturday off. Yes finally a day off. 12 days straight and its been a long 12 days. But what does one do with a day off. visit the hairdresser - goodbye Grey hello hair dye

Seriously this extended trade has its advantages and disadvantages. really the negatives is that i work in retail but the positives
i now do the food shopping on a Sunday at what ever time i like and Wednesday night the work alarm didn't get set and security rang me at 9pm while i was out i went to coles and got new light bulbs and ice-cream. if i wanted to i could even go to kmart until midnight.

I have decided not to make dinner tonight - nice one- night off. we are going to the club for dinner and they have a meat raffle, i think its about time its our turn to win.

busy busy

yep its been a while.

Marks shop is coming along nicely, his little office is set and ready to go just need to finish reception and show room. he is pretty proud of his office. Wait until he gets home and sees the "thing" i brought for the wall today......

Me been working working and working. two days in sydney was full full on and fun although all work. great to meet the area and find out what they are all doing with their own stores. but heaps to learn and three weeks to forget it all before we actually get to use it. Its just me and the part timer at the shop at the moment so no rest for me. its all starting to fall in place and have busted budget by $5000 this week. happy happy. have done a few interviews over the last day or two and a new guy starting tomorrow. fingers crossed for a day off (maybe saturday)

all in all its going well really - had a bit of rain over the weekend and some sun today

Take Care
