AF , ttom, call it what you will… visited finally this past week,

 

it’s something I’ve been hoping wouldn’t happen for a long time especially not this week if it comes back regular straight away because in 4 weeks we are going to forster and well … I can’t swim

I am looking into getting one of these, in the hope it is alot better than tampons which irritate me

anyway, with my looking into cloth nappies last year I also went for cloth pads …… I was sure the boy was going to make lots of fun of that one even though he suggested the use of cloth nappies but it seems where I’m looking at things as cost saving measures he is thinking green, I’m not allowed to buy garbage bags any more, so he is very supportive. I have to say I should have got a wider variety of sizes, I’m really hoping that AF for future visits stays the way this week was barely a gentle ache let alone the curl up in bed with a hot water bottle cramps, I’ll bet its not going to stay that way though but I have to say I’m so glad I went cloth, things are tight …. really tight, I was trying to figure out why they weren’t when i was on 1/2 pay but they are now then it came to me, I was on public transport then because we didn’t have a car now we can add a $70 Per week fuel bill to the budget which I know will be less when I get my bike back on the road but for the moment it stands anyway, Af arrived as I said without the cramps and only the tiniest inkling on my part that it was coming but thats been going on for months so without cloth I would have been well and truly unprepared but I have been carrying a pad around in my bag for months (folded up it lookes like a coin purse) and the first proper sign that AF had arrived I didn’t have to duck to the shop for supplies they are in my drawer ready to go and by the looks of things I have enough to do almost a whole week without washing or iff the week is rainy and things take forever to dry ….. so why do I feel the want to buy more? when I haven’t the $ to do so :sigh:

 

anyway all is back to normal though miss is unwell, I’m hoping she wakes up back to her healthy self in the morning

home alone October 25, 2008

second post for the day, the bubba is finally in bed, I’m really tired we’ve had a great day but i keep waiting for the rumble and werr of the boy’s bike to come down the street, and sadly i know I have to wait along time for that. I hope he is behaving himself and not getting too drunk where ever they went

the louts are out I really don’t like being home alone i don’t like it at all I know I’m not completely alone, I have miss and we have the woofs but there is no burly boy to go take a peak out the blinds when they bark

I guess I should take mysef off to bed tomorrow is another day, hopefully it is another fantastic day like today

My name is Belinda and I am a spendaholic October 25, 2008

I’m hopeless… today i am having a barbecue lunch with gummibear, Imiss and I ducked to the shops to get things for the bbq this morning……

along with the salad and meat I intended to get, I got

a packet of tim tams

a packet of wagon wheels (eat de wagon wheel ,eat de wagon wheeeel)

two bottles of grapetiser (sparkling grape juice)

2 pair of socks for miss

a block of cadbury snack

a block of cadbury tiremisu

a packet of vanilla chai tea

makeup removal pads

and a microwave milk heating jug

 

today I have spent $70 I wanted to spend under $50 for meat and salad, admitidly there is $20 of meat which will last the whole weekend and some of the week but all of the other crud I could do with out

Fuel fightback! October 24, 2008

I am in awe, these people not far from where I live for the last few days have been slashing the price of petrol to less than $1 a litre its amazing, on the first day it was 94c/L a price that hasn’t been seen fo a long time k asked at pas on wednesday night if you would really cue for 2hrs just to save $35 we must remember that K didn’t even realise that there was a bannana shortage because she didn’t look at the price of them just bought them i have to say ATM with us on a fairly strict budget if I had the time yes I would cue for that long to save $35 of my weekly $70 fuel bill allowance

anyway i’ve strayed from the story

yesterday i read that a local egg farmer who was upset at the fact that an elderly friend could no longer afford to buy eggs because they are almost $6/doz (I don’t know where ours are much less than that) so he and his brother donated eggs to the cause, buy fuel there and you get 1/doz eggs free

 

today I heard on the radio on my way to work, the price was about to drop to 99c/L  for 1 hr, the eggs were ther and the local butcher, (and I think the baker) was putting on a free sausage sizzle…. thats got me really excited all of these small businesses getting together all over what they feel are rediculously high prices,

 

tonight I was watching A Curent Affair  and it turns out todays effort joined by a servo in melbourne and one in brisebane is being supported financially by them and will continue to spread and be supported by them

one of those days that that show manages to make you feel warm and fuzzy rather than just plain annoyed at their silly questions and chasing people

oh the joys of life October 22, 2008

I don’t quite remember what we had planned for the weekend, i’m sure it was a fair bit of time together but unfortunatley the boy had other Ideas, he went to his brothers house with the promise he’d be back by 12 and we’d go to the shop and look for a new toaster and for a general look around he remembered his promise at 2 got home at three :sigh:

sunday we were going for a walk and a bbq lunch at home…. his best mate rang ans said theres a bike show at warragamba come along …. that got him out of bed pretty fast and we didn’t see him again till after lunch :sigh:

I’m begining to lose confidence in short term and doing things promises and I’,m begining to lose paitence with the whinge that he never gets out because hes stuck home looking after miss all day, I get to go to pas every wednesday and mum and dads occasionally…. this weekend is an overnight bike run with the club we used to be in…. this weekend i have a friend coming for bbq lunch I’m excited to have a catch up

i went shoping last thursday we have a wedding to go to in 5 weeks time, the dress code is smart beach casual after wandering around dissagreeing with mum about dress after dress(I think its too formal…. Mum thinks its too casual) then going to target wearing a target size 16 but not even being close to fitting a target size 16 we gave up I got home and the boy suggested a sarong then I remembered almost 10 years ago i went to singapore and thialand where I bought a lovley handpainted batik sarong which would make the perfect smart casual skirt and fit the beachy theme team that with a nice white blouse and my nice sandals and i have me an outfit ….. I just need to find me a nice white blouse , hey I have to have something nice and new to go in don’t I

I’m looking forward to our holiday in 5 weeks time too mum me and miss are going to forster for a whole week :dance: hopefully with thw bit of OT I’ve been doing latley I’ll have some spending money and a great time on the beach

crook again October 13, 2008

always reminds me of burgerlers  the term crook but i seem to be constantly this year this time it is the boy’s flu I’m soo dying …. ok so its not that bad but I took two days off anyway just in case

 

we were having a tense discussion today bout the house we are going to win, The Boy bought a ticket in the prince of wales hospotal faoundation lottery apparently there is a 25-1 cance of winning something…. there are alos 3000 prizes our hope is the house, he insisted on taking me on a virtual tour even though he keeps saying we’d take the $$$ pay off our house and relax for a while I’d like to go live there but he reckons the council rates would be through the roof oh well it’s his $100 ticket I suppose he can do what he wants with it but I wish he hadn’t taken me on the tour now

a day off October 10, 2008

Don’t you just love a day off, especially the ones wher you have nothing planned and you aren’t taking a sicky these are great days time to sleep in have a shower when you feel like it , trundle to the shop or just plain relax I can handle that we’ve had a nice day, i don’t know what time miss got up but we both ignoed her for quite a while, she now turns the light on in her room, pretty soon she’ll be in a bed that lets her get up on her own now that one will be a worry.

 

I’ve started liteneasy again after losing 15kg as always happens when people notice I gained back 5 so accordinbg to the BMI calculator I have approximatley 35kgs to lose but this time I’m going to do it no excusses atm I couldn’t be bothered going for a walk in the evenings but I’m sure eating alot better will help me have the energy

tomorrow is mums birthday we are going to peters of kensington its very exciting I haven’t been there in a long time, I usually just buy things online and they get posted in nice little packages intrestingly they are very good with their prices too for very expensive things anyway
