STEW HAS GONE.... AM I SAD?

Well.... YES... and NO !

Yes, cos I love him to bits!

No, cos he drives me nuts sometimes!

When he's not here I say to myself "OK, you have to do it all, so just get on with it"....

When he's home I kinda expect him to do all the 'usual' bloke stuff... you know, empty the bins, put the rubbish out... empty the bins....

And he must 'forget' sometimes how much I HATE full/overflowing rubbish bins in me pantry.... and I feel mad cos he lets them get so bloody full!

When I'm on me own they get emptied the second they are full... not once they are overflowing out the freaking door!

So, I'm happy when he's not here sometimes too!

OK, rant over! Today: kids to school, then... I'm hitting the shops for some stress relief! I NEED IT....
I have been shopping... I bought:


These cute as boxes... now all I have to do is find a use for them! Probably toiletries/makeup/hair products?



Can't wait to see if these VACUM bags work! I've got masses of blankets and pillow taking up so much room in the cupboards!


I also bought a neat new dress and black shrug - thingee.... will get a photo up one I've done the hair! I look a fright right now cos its like TROPICAL out there right now! Rain then sun... talk about humid! So, me hair is frizzing all over the place, so NOT a good look!


This morning I rang THE BOSS of our Real Estate Agency.... and expressed my concerns about lack of communication, and a few other things.. and he's coming to see me this afternoon! EEEKKKK... I hope I can put my views and dissatisfaction across without sounding like a bitch!


the new dress and shrug... not a good photo, could not get the lighting right, but you get the drift... the dress has a black band around the bottom, and it's above the knee... I might wear it with black leggings.

Had a very good meeting with the BOSS MAN... lots of issues resolved hopefully. Something very funny happened while he was here!

Brylee saw him and said "Are you our NEW DADDY while our OLD DADDY is in Auckland"? Tim and I just laughed over that one! So funny! Hmmm wonder where she got the idea I could get a new man while Stew was away? NOT likely babe!

End of Day: totally could not stick to the diet today.. not sure why but one thing is for sure, DAMAGE CONTROL starts tomorrow! Might even try to get to the pool! God that would be nice!

NSV: Limited myself to only 2 slip ups today, this is good (it could have been much, much worse!). nite nite.

  1. Mine keep forgetting to empty the dishwasher once in a while or forgets all the times about taking out the trash. But he does do other things so I don't bitch too much but it is a bummer as I'm just as busy as he is.
    Hope you have a good week and had a good open house.

  3. Men! Yes, my DH has "issues" where our bin is concerned too. It is one of those swing top jobbies and (when he's around) I'm sure there is more garbage stuck to the lid then there is in the actual bin. Gross!

  5. They work for you Chris, don't forget that. At the end of the deal, they get the big profit cheque .... they should be doing their job properly to begin with.
    UP'EM!!!!

  7. I like that dress too. Blue definitely is your color.

    Hope all goes well with the Boss man from the Real Estate. I'm sure if he is taking the time to come see you then it will get sorted.

    Glad to see you're on track and on fire. Can't wait to catch up again at the wedding.

  18. Big congrats on Saturdays weigh in. Hope the retail therapy has helped your stress level. Good for you having it out with the Real Estate Boss. There are sometimes when I quite enjoy when DH is away. A little absence makes the heart grow fonder. Too cute about the new Dad. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

    Do I detect someone else with a storage crisis! Maybe I can drag up the courage to have a yard sale?

    Best wishes
