OH MY GOD! Hadn't realised that it's almost four weeks since I last posted. Very sorry lads and lasses but I am going to have to call it quits for a short while. Hopefully not for too long but let me list today's events and you'll know why.
Got a call from the dentist. She has a cancellation - would I like it? Now that could be either good news or bad news, depending upon your view of dentists. Bad news for me because I need work and didn't want to have to bring it forward really. Never mind. Took it. Have to be there at - and this is not a joke - 2.30! LOL. Geddit? Tooth-hurty. I swear that's the time she's given me. Brought an amalgam-filled smile to my face before the next phone call.
We are being evicted. Arse. I mustn't have cleaned the place properly when she came for the inspection! lol. Nah, the owners are coming back from Japan (I hope it's not Tokyo Girl); they want to do the place up and flog it and so we received the prerequisite 42 days notice a couple of hours ago. Asked immediately what other properties do they have for rental at the mo and can I go look at them.
Hopped in the car - Mr Steve's car actually, the bum-scraper one - bloody thing won't start. Arghhh!!! Unplugged the sweaty sproglets and hauled them back into the house. We are on 2 weeks school holidays. We don't want to be stuck in the house together, narramean?
So I thought I'd update my blog only to realise that I hadn't been playing out for a while. Soz. Now my time will be taken up with trying to find a new home for us all (tut - again) in a place that I can still access broadband. That's going to be the hard part. What is they say... these things are sent to try us.
I will be away for a while but I'll blog hop and visit you all when I have my new abode.
Ta-Taa for now bloggin' buddies. xxx

:: TIMES ARE HARD AND FRIENDS ARE FEW ::
Blimey! Where've I been? Hadn't realised I hadn't posted for a week. Bloody Trade Me.
Selling my children's clothing. Never tried anything like this before and have usually been able to hand them down to other children who'd look good in them - we have style in our home. Bags of it. Bags of 'em that are now on NZ's version of eBay. I'd give you the link but they won't allow you to bid from overseas. Why the bloody hell anyone overseas would want to buy stuff from NZ is beyond me anyway. Most of the the stuff on there is imported from the UK or US. If I can't make a few bucks this way I shall have to get a job.
"Hours are 12 til 1 with an hour for lunch, is that OK?" "Aye, that'll do nicely thankyou very much. $500 pw? Lovely."
They just don't come up like that do they?
Today, is FATHER'S DAY. Happy Father's Day Mr Steve and any other NZ dads out there. The sproglets brought him cold toast and jam in bed then I made bacon butties to take the taste away :-). They all went out to clean the cars then came back inside for chocolate cake. Mr Steve is all veged out reading his new Father's Day Present, the sproglets are helping find Nemo on the Disney channel and me, I'm here. Between here and Trade Me actually. Auctions end tonight. It's very addictive. Thank God I'm selling and not buying!

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
