Happy Easter everyone! And I mean that in whatever way Easter means something to you For me, it means everyone's either at home or away, but not at work!
No Easter eggs at our place, thank goodness - it's bad enough I have got Oscar onto choc hazelnut spread (Aldi, not Nutella - I still have Nestle issues!), without having him string out and drive me nuts (on a sugar high) while I'm supposed to be studying. I'm hoping to avoid chocolate for another 12 months...we're nearly two years down without a chocky habit
My parents left this morning for NZ to see my sister - she doesn't know that my dad decided to go as well, so she's in for a nice surprise. My dad has anxiety over money, for the sake of being anxious over money, not cos there is none, and he finally let go of it to go and see her and his granddaughter. We'll have a video conference later, now that I have my webcam.
Mel - the sand thingy sounds great - we're heading down to the peninsula next Sunday, so it sounds like a goer! And bonus to see a nice celebrity there.
Nice day down this way - so glad burning off is not allowed on Sundays anymore!! The house is starting to take shape, as we get ruthless with things in the kitchen and other rooms. Lots of stuff going to charity. The Tupperware I took from my mum has just about all gone back (except the stuff she expressly said I could have!), because there is precious little room for the new stuff I've been getting...and I want my new stuff!
That reminds me -
Nic - I'm not Tupperwaring for Evolution anymore, I'm off the books there. I AM, however, in the friendship club at Platinum now No more 'distance from distributorship' issues and I can go to the meetings without having to be away from my family for 5 hours (read, away from breastfed child who keeps my boobs from exploding in the evenings!). It's a hell of a lot easier on me to conduct my business, especially when I can pick up my orders on meeting night (or swing by and buy anything I've forgotten, over the counter!). I like cheap Tupp too much to quit it all together!! How's it being a manager now? They tell us that it's so easy to have a family and be a manager...is it really true??
Amanda - no camping this Easter? Are you still feeling crap?
Tali - BBQ sounds awesome!!
Rory - I'm imagining what it must be like to already have your qualification so that you can just pick up or drop days at work - one day I'll have the option of 'going back to work'!! Right now, as my semester is slowly starting, it seems like a lifetime away...
Things have improved with DP quite a bit. We're not bickering this week, probably in direct proportion to the tidiness of the house and kitchen (we've been making special effort in that area to keep the kitchen clean). I ALWAYS feel like life is more bearable when the kitchen is workable!
Well, better get back to said housework - I'll put in some time and then get to my books...maybe I should do it the other way around while Oscar sleeps...
