Great sickness is hitting

I have finished my exercise and weighed in. Bit disappointed but at least its going down. *sigh*.

Livi is all snotted up, white and moaning of a sore tummy but still wants to go kindy umm no you can't go. Kindy rang me up to work teacher has the same thing as livi so had to say no to that as well blow it all I could have done a days work although I do have a sore throat and found I dragged myself through stepping today. I just felt so tired and heavey. I am probably getting livis bug lucky me.

I bought a new vaccy cleaner the cheapest I could find as I am sick of buying expensive ones that are crap. And more excitingly I got a steam mop. YAY I LOVE IT. So much easier to clean the floors. and they dry so fast compared to a mop and bucket of water. So I am happy.

ahh it feels good to be back

I worked yesterday. It was very quiet with anyone who has a slight hint of even a cold staying away from Kindergarten so out of 40 children only 14 were present!!

Sadly though I have awoken with sore throat and feel a bit blocked up. Great just my luck. One downfall of relieving in winter is of course you are going in to the bug infested kindys as half the people are sick and thats why you are needed!!

I was goign to take the girls for a hot swim today but I really don't feel like it now. A shame as its raining and would have been a perfect day for a hot swim.

I had got up to 79.6kg so I did put a wee bit on. Weigh in will again be Mondays. So hopefully will see some difference on Monday. I just have to keep dreaming of being able to wear cute little shorts and singlet tops on this summers holiday.

I have been trying and trying to save. So far I have saved 14k. YAY but 3.5k will go on a heat pump in the next couple of weeks. I try to forget that I have that money or else spending it woudl be far to easy. The plan is to now not touch the rest and be able to have perhaps an extra week away in the motorhome over christmas and not worry. I have also been putting money on my pac n sav christmas club so that should cover our food while away over christmas and been buying mta vouchers so theres the desiel for the motorhome. The plan to have a stress free of money holiday. And to have a fall back bit of money. If I could save 20k every single year in 5 years we could lump that on the mortgage and come down to way under 100k and that would be awesome!!!!. It wont happen as I am a spender in reality and not a saver. And I want to bulk pay power and telecom as well so that by time we go away they are paid for the month of januray and feb if i can manage it. that way we really can not worry about money while having some time off.

Up and done my steps already

i woke feeling so refreshed this morning. More water and exercise really do make a difference in your overall well being. I can't wait to start seeing some results.

We spent a week away in the motorhome. It was great. Up to Auckland with the girls for one part and then back home left them with my mum and off to field days for the rest just Graeme and I. My new fav place is De Brets in Taupo. I could spend all day in the mineral pools there!!!!.

Anyway I AM BACK AND ALIVE

Been a while

I know. But i have maintained my weight and yesterday got back on going down on the scales again. I have been so slack.

So busy with the duck race

Been slack about posting in here again lol. I have been getting stuff ready to make signs for the kindy duck race and this morning will be there probably all day making them. Wonder if the four people I asked to help me will turn up or stay and help. I can just see me doing this by myself. Oh dear.

The kindy's new hours start today. 8:15 - 12:30 for the morning children and 1:15 to 3:15 for the afternoon children. So seeing as I will be signs I will need to take lunch for both girls instead of just Livi. If by some stroke of luck I am finished by lunchtime I will keep emmy home as they will have had all morning and be nice for them to get a break in the afternoon.

I havent been the best with my eating. I arent hideous either but definately still back in the place I was when the weight was falling off me.

I think this is my first platau

its just not happening. *sigh*.

We got new bikes good bikes that were expensive but my god what a difference!! Graeme bikes to work now and I am biking the girls to kindy and back each day as wel. We have also been going for lots of other rides as well. We are loving it.

We are going away to the field days for four days without the kids. I KNOW SO EXCITED. Mum is coming to our house to look after them. We are going ith friends who also have a motorhome so going to camp it out. God I cant wait. I will be able to sit up the front instead of down the back on my own. Can you tell I am excited lol. Driving and not worrying about kids and food and toilet stops and keeping them happy. ahhh it sounds like bliss but best of all we can take our time at the field days and look around without any kids bored and grizzly. oh my god I cant wait.

Well we concede defeat

and are going to buy PROPER bikes. The cheapies from the warehouse are so uncomfy to ride. YOu get pins and needles in your hands from the way you are hunched over. Mum found the same thing and she went and bought a better bike from the bike shop. OH MY GOD. I had a ride on it yesterday. ITS WONDERFUl. The whole thing is easier to pedal, the angle you sit is far more comfy and the seat is like sitting on a pillow. SO this afternoon we are going insearch of the same bikes lol.

Yeah yeah we were told warehouse bikes were terrible but we honestly thought how bad can they be well now we know. Hopeffully though somoene will buy them when we put them on trademe so we wont completely lose our money.

We biked from Clive to marineland yesterday ad had an icecream and biked back. My butt is so sore today its not funny. I also have a very very sore throat and feel crappy thanks to Graeme. He has had this for a while now and finally passed it on to me. HOW RUDE.
