Sorry for the delay in updating, ended being a busy few days and right now I am shattered and have a headache, and am heading to bed shortly!
Have had a totally crap day today and tomorrow will probably be even worse - but am trying to live in hope that there is a slight chance that tomorrow will indeed go smoothly!
So what's been happening - not to much but enough to keep me out of trouble! Friday night, I went and caught up with some fabulous friends of mine and instead of the coke and chippies we have most of the time when I visit, they served me rice crackers, humus and water :) Ate a large number of the crackers, but surely they are better than chippies! In the "old" days, I know 10 rice crackers equaled 1 point at WW - not sure if that is still the case though. Does anyone know the answer to that one...
Saturday was the usual groceries, baking - no longer a shortbread virgin - made my first ever batch of shortbread (thanks for the recipe Anne) - it was very scrumptious and am going to be making more to give as Christmas presents for the creche teachers and a couple of family members. Might also make some homemade chocolates too - for those Tupperware queens, I thought I would make some Tuppertruffles - those yummy delicious chocolates made in the Ice Cube trays. So emailed my friendly Tupperware dealer asking for the recipe which she is dropping off to me this week. We also ended up selling our car on Saturday afternoon - so very happy about that! Not that we have the money - as that goes onto the loan we had for the Honda we got a couple of mths ago. But such a nice feeling having the Subaru sold and out of our hair!
Sunday, I got my sleep in, and then a bit of stuff around the house before going out to do some Christmas Shopping and visiting Steph's parents. Oh I also weighed in on Sunday morning - not good as I gained the 500gms that I lost last week so back to square 1 yet again!!!
Today was so crappy as mentioned earlier in the post, so resorted to coke, chippies and some lollies! Enjoyed them at the time - but afterward I just knew that I shouldn't have had them but they did make me feel better and to see the afternoon through!
Will be aiming to get to the gym tomorrow with M, but will have to see how things are at work as I will be wearing 3 hats tomorrow - the boss, the acting boss and my own and I have the payroll to run and to ensure the file is done, given to finance to ensure everyone is paid tomorrow night.
Oh, I have applied for a job today - it's down in Christchurch and not with the company I am with currently! I saw it on Trade Me on Sat night, and thought wow this is just what I am after! So emailed my CV off to the agency today and they rung me this evening and we had a good chat and she has emailed me the Job Description - it is for an awesome company (can't say who for now) but there are some aspects of the role that I have never had the opportunity to do due the structure of the organisations I have worked for - but am more than willing to learn! So will keep you posted....
Right, am off to bed now to try to get of this headache - catch ya all later

*Fingers crossed* for you Karen with the job application - we'd love to have you living down here - would be fantastic to be able to catch up more often. (You've got me curious as to which company it is ... lol ... you'll have to private email me!).
I hope Tuesday is a better day - and goes much smoother than you are envisaging.
Wow - good luck for the job karen :) Awesome stuff!
