Nu Shoos :-)

I Finally went and got some new shoes, I very rarely buy ladies shoes but today I did in wait for it ……. Size 11 :-O I never thought I was really a size 11 normally its 9.5 or 10 but 11 ????? then I realsed all of this time it has been size 9.5 Mens which explains why the 9.5 ladies were too short I hate having big feet I don’t think I’m all that tall, those of you who live in aussieland have a look next time you go shopping at the socks, If you find any pretty pink explorers in a 6-10 or something like that any way anything above size 8 let me know, ok so they don’t have to be pink or for that matter pretty ,just ladies sizes.

Its raining again Da daa da da da di da da

I can’t remember the words for the song but yep it is raining again, so much for it getting warmer, dad used to always sing that song when it started raining he probably still does, an incredibly sweet yet annoying man my dad is, seriously….. he has this get out there and get ‘em attitude to life perfect for the sales man that he is, any party we go to dad slots himself in as waiter or barman he always tries to make everyone happy and enjoy themselves, of course if you have one extreem you must have another my dad is also an incredibly frightening man if someone makes him really angry, not that he is violent at all but it’s all in the eyes they can go from lighting up the room to ice in a blink, he is still a wonderfull man he will do almost anything for me and my brother.

It interesting the things that bring in memories

This is us at a cousins wedding the year before last dad on the right brother on the left guess who in the middle, was really close to goal then

The Little beastie


I didn’t get the little beastie going, but I did find out exactly why she wont run, it turns out my very first assumption was right, the head gasket is blown see the picture, the assumption I was working on which involved the parts from dubbo was that the carby was broken, for those who aren’t into this stuff, the black bits outside the hole are the only pieces of the gasket left, with out the gasket there is no vacuum or something like that, any way it stops the pieces of metal having a tight seal, fuel comes in but too much air and well… She don’t run The boy suggested using some cereal box to fix it with, I suggested that I use gasket goo instead but he shook his head and wouldn’t say why not to use it so I have ordered the replacement part from NZ and will wait until it arrives to get the beastie going again hopefully it won’t be too long there might be a trip into town before then.
There is only one British spares shop left in Sydney and that is on the verge of closing, basically their prices are high and there is no parking, I usually park my bike on the foot path out the front, buying from NZ is cheaper even with postage firstly because of the exchange rate and secondly because it’s overseas I don’t pay GST making it 10% cheaper all the time

apart from the slight disappointment of not being able to repair the bike I had a pretty good day, I got up around 05:45 had breakfast woke the dogs up and went for a walk, It is absolutely freezing I was thinking the poor dogs need booties because my hands were cold and they weren’t on the cold concrete the poor things really didn’t want to sit and Champ just didn’t want to go for a walk at all, The poor baby is a little lazy but he is getting a little tubby/cuddly so the walks are good for him too

Getting warmer

It has been getting warmer again today was bright and sunny and warm for a change, the dog was laying in the sun panting even, untill I convinced her to get out of the sun, I went for a walk to the shops today and decided that my girly sneaker looking shoes just don’t cut it, they are great for going out in but for serious walking they are really bad. I am thinking about giving th couch to 5k challenge a go, it involves brisk walking with intervals of jogging untill you build up to a 5k run, but I will need some new shoes before then

I am hoping to get my little beasty running tomorrow I got a heap of parts from dubbo the other day so I should have the right bits to get it to work, I would be great to have it reliable enought o ride to work some times especially with the cost of fuel these days, the whole tank is only 8ltrs and part of that is oil, they have been known to run with old engine oil in the tank

Progress

I have finally started to get rid of some crud, I have just listed a few more things that I have been needlessly holding onto on Ebay, I think this weeks theme on Dr Phil and Opra might have gotten to me somewhat, For those who don’t have the chance to or just dont like to watch these shows this weeks theme seems to be Hoarders, thats definitley me I had all sorts of things that I was holding on to “For sentimental reasons” I finally threw a lot of it out today our spare room has gone from this…..

to this….

Ok so there is still a little bit of junk around and you really don’t want to see the lounge room, the keep stuff stull needs sorting but it will all hae its place in the wardrobe I am no longer alowed to clutter, When we get our fancy new house There is only enough storage in the garage for the important things

Why I miss meals

I thought after all of these week of posting about me missing meals I had better explain myself just in case anyone thinks I’m doing so on purpose.The main reason I miss breakfast is simply that I get up way to late to bother with breakfast and go straight into lunch, the other reason is similar to one that causes me to I miss lunch, then there are the days that I get up with plenty of time but just don’t feel like anything, eg: I feel like bacon and egg muffin but we have no bacon and no muffins so I don’t bother making anything.

main reason I miss lunch is when I’m on dayshift I don’t make it the day before or I do make it but I forget to take it, It’s an hour trip to work in the morning way to long to turn back half way and buying lunch is just too expensive (average bought lunch for me is $10) for the same reason I occasionally miss breakfast on dayshift, when I’m not on days see as for egg and bacon muffin
why I miss dinner? well see lunch but change day for afternoon and see egg and bacon muffin example

Breakfast is important

I had a gain again this week I really need to concentrate on eating breakfast but with my new shiny scales it was only 0.8 I’m not going to buy so much junk when I go shopping next time maybe I’ll get some special K or something similar, Maybe that can wait until summer time,I like to have my special K or cornflakes with Juice or yogurt on them instead of milk don’t need sugar then

Mum and I had a go at making sushi last night It is sooo easy won’t have to spend a fortune on Sushi ever again tasted just as good as the stuff you buy from the shop, I’ll be having some of it for lunch today

This week

  • I walked the dogs once
  • I missed meals
  • I ate a heap of club
  • I had lots of junk food

Next week I intend to

  • not miss any meals
  • walk the dogs at least once
  • not buy any more club(this fortnight’s block is gone)
  • avoid eating junk

What an awesome day

Mum left her phone here last night so we got up earlyish to it ringing, I am waiting for the bloke who won the auction for the desk to come and pick it up so I had to convince the boy that we still have time to go out in the morning because he said he would be picking it up in the afternoon, after a lot of convincing we threw the dogs in the ute and headed off to “new” Homeworld, it(homeworld display village) moves every so often as the companies change the houses in their range so there is always a New homeworld anyway we went to see the place we want, It’s absolutely awesome, I was worried that it would be to “Castle Hill” no offence to those that live out that way it’s just not my style……..
Castle Hill Style: very large open housing no overly associated with coziness these are either decorated with country crafts or ultra modern minimalisim (also viewed by us as having spent so much money on the house that they can’t afford to furnish it properly) a very un lived in look.
……. But it was gorgeous just the right size, the bottom floor is approximately the same size as our house and the top floor has the bedrooms, the ensuite is bigger than our current bathroom and the master bedroom wardrobe is the same size as our current bathroom. The boy couldn’t get over how big it is he was worried about it being too small downstairs, we asked on the way out about getting the garage made drive through and colour bond roofing they can do both of these things. Probably because “Jim wouldn’t have it any other way”
