AVON CALLING

hey ya girls things are ticking along here nicely. I am exhausted but whats new there.

Started another job yesterday..admin in local pub, girl doing it at present is away soon to have a baby so only temperary till she is back but a great stopgap for me and god send actuallly about 25 hrs a week and can fit it around present job..and they are being great I am getting hours when really I am not needed. Then today I started selling Avon so anyone interested in me sending them a brochure please send me a message...looking forward to the challenge.

We had the annual Salmon and Wine festival here on Saturday so I vouleentered to help out there it was a stinking hot day but a great crowd had a great time so all was good...hopefully next year I'll be away from here so won't 'vouleenter' again

Right think Im gonna hit the sack I am whacked it is nearly dark...was going to go for a bike ride earlier there is no wind for a change but think the rest will do me more good. But must get my arse into gear gained a kilo this week at weight management.

tried loading the latest photos which arrived last night of Miss Sarah but blogworld wont let me load them so will have to try another day...son is ringing tomorrow night hope it is to tell me when they are coming over but suspect it will be to say they arent coming and the photos were sent to butter me up...will be so disapointed if that happens.

time for a quick update

doing ok-had a bad day on Thursday, had been to WINZ to see what assistance they could give me answer zilche...wankers

Been out every night except last saturday not partying all the time just out visiting friends etc and partying hehehe did the friday night happy hour thing last night but it was a bit slow so I was home by 10.30pm

Went to little town out of Oarmaru (called Kakanui) last Sunday for the night - I was in heavan beach just across the road..thinking maybe that will be where I head to when house sells. Gotta get it tidy first HUGE job. Spent today in garden and guess what all I got done was cutt back one flippen rose...granted it was well over grown and HUGE 8 wool sacks of crap and lots of scratched and sore back later took all flippen day. will sleep well tonight...that is if my knee will let me it is BLOODY sore.

Himself has been around twice today to take away some crap...a dead trail bike that has sat out side my lounge window for 12 mths or more and 2 gates that were to be put on front of section to keep dogs etc out 6 yrs ago and never have been put up...guess he has sold them cause he does naught for nothing but to be honest I am just pleased to see them gone and could care less if he got dollars for them.

Just had a scrummy tea of chicken snitzel(garlic and ginger) and vege stack...port mushroom, egg plant, capsicum, tomato, feta cheese, zuchinni, more capsicum and egg plant drizzled with home made pesto...cooked in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I tell u it was delish.

Now off to mothers to pick raspberries...so desert will be fresh raspberries and nat yogurt, how healthy is that.

Sat night was the only night i've been home since so was pleased for a quiet night..girl friend came around for coffee though so that ws nice.

I stayed Sun night at my friends (Ngaire use to live in P/N and I stayed with b4 the bloggers weeekend she has moved back down south to Kakanui) went for a nice walk last evenng when it cooled down a bit been dreadfully HOT here lately hate it. But last night was s pleasant walking along the beach road...couldn't actually get to waters edge but was pleased to actually hear the sea. neat catching up with N....she is like a second mother to me.

Today I got to see specailist about knee...not sure that was a total success but oh well. Then have an appointment to see Lawyer so will have more idea of where I am at....might get time for a walk along Caroline Bay and a dabble in the sea looks like it gonna be another hot one.

cya all thanks guys for all your support I KNOW I have done the right thing.

have lost 109k already this year

life has been pretty full on since new year and just havnet had time to post but woke earlier than I planned so have a spare hour so here goes.

Yesterday was my birthday(9th January) had an AWESOME DAY...went to a friends for breakfast yummy then worked and lots of warm fuzzies thru the day home was exhausted had 5 mins shut eye in chair then showered dressed and Dawn picked me up at 7.15 and we wnet to Omarama for dinner YUM coupl glasses of bubbles then back to town for dessert and coffee berry cheesecake yum yum

Tuesday was first weigh in since weeke b4 Xmas and I managed to stay same so VERY pleased with that. Went for wine after weigh in nice to sit cool of evening and relax with a friends

that should be sunday and can't get it to cut and paste Lyne and Tony came to town so L came round for coffee and chat think she went home about 10.30...neat to catch up. Slept like a log after the exhausting weekend.

Thurs 3rd Jo (walking aqua drowning buddy from Chch) arrived Jo and I talked till well into morning...I had work Fri so up and left Jo sleeping plan was she'd explore town and meet me at 3 when I finished work...she didnt get much exploring done(so will have to return to do that) We had coffee and Poppies and waited fr Rach to arrive ( other walking aqua drowning buddie frm Chch) she arrived about 5. We came back her I cooked chicken stuffed with tinned apricot and cheese(didnt have an blue darn) and yummy salad...then we went out for party time great night got home about 3 STARVING so we made toasted ham/cheese and tomatoe toasted sammies...Jo and I sat up laughing and talking till Dawn...I had a sore thraot frm laughing so much. Sat we muddled around doing pretty well bugger all .... Sat night we went partying again little bit quieter than night b4 but still nice music and good company. Got home around 12.30
Sunday we had lunch down town then Rach headed home must have been VERY hot drive as it was like 33 here. Jo stayed till it was cooler and left about 6 as I said earlier Lynne came around.

oh yeah and on 2nd Jan I kicked hubby out...yup girls I am free single and 109k lighter.

just had a gut full and blew( well actually was pretty calm really have seen me explode worse) told him I had a gut fll and to piss off he did I said I was over him big time. I txt mum but wasnt ready to talk to her I transfered what little money we had in joint acc to my personal acc so he didnt have access to it and I felt BLOODY GREAT. I never cried (still havent) I never thought fuck what have I done(still haven't) I know I have made the right move. Ok yes I have no money and work casual so after Feb will not have a cent to rub together I will have to sell house etc but I am not actually overly worried about that. I can d what ever I bloody well like. I am single. first time in my life I have lived alone so that will be interesting. Have had a clean sink for a week, havent had to pick up after anyone...sit on cold porceline, listen to drivvel talk about recycled rubbish or TRAINS. I am free.

Sat morning the girls and I (Jo was already coming for wk/end but as soon as Rach heard I had kicked himself out she threw her bag in car and drove straight down I am so greatful for her these 2 girls were my rock over the weekend) any way we were heading to Poppies for brunch and hubby txt do I want to talk I said I wasnt ready but after much talking grls and I decided was best to do the 'talk' while they were here for after care. So I arranged meet hm at Poppies cafe public but at 4.30 was quiet. So we met and after listening to his grumbles about how hot it was and work and this and that we talked about y we were there. We both agreed it wa over and not worth continuing in the direction we were going. He siad I could have house...whch of course now the lawyers are invloved that token guester is naught. we talked for about 1.5 I guess and went our seperate ways. He has txt couple times. Yesterday was his day off so I said he could cme around and he got a few things and tidied some of his scrap metal SHIT out of back yard...he organise a load of shingle to be delivered to tidy yard(been waiting 4 yrs for that) case of to little to late. he got rid of a shit load of shit...not that I can actually see where from cause there is still a dead trail bike and crap for africa out the lounge window he was to do more today but he is off to Timaru to see a lawyer...he was lucky enough to get one open I have rung 3 and all still closed for Xmas...I suspect all the niceties will finish after he has seen lawyer. he went to bank yesterday and closed his account and took his name off joint acc-so much easier than closing it and me having to set up new and all auto payments etc. I have stopped sky tv (actually havent had tv on since he left)and cancelled heaps of shit un needed stuff we had here to make us look important like caller id and minder on phone just costing money. And stopped payment on his HP's he can take on that shit and the lap top he so kindly bought me for Xmas and then it was on tick so who was paying in long run but muggins. While he was here yesday doing yard stuff I said he could use washign machine if he liked so he did a load of washing. Then he txt me when I got hme from work could he cme around to collect some clothes he didnt want to go in the bedroom whle I wasnt here...that was good. He knocked on door when he arrived an didnt stay long. I was going out any way. I didnt say where or who with..not his business.

So that is my new year in a nut shell...bloody great one so far. 2008 is Felicity's year.

Ok I will no doubt hit the wall at some time and crash it has been pretty full on and single life is exhausting but I KNOW I have done the right thing

hell best get butt into gear and get redy for work last thing I need is to loose the job I have. (looking for another night job to help with bills-will put out feelers and let ppl know I am looking still 3 -4 mths of summer season left and the students will all be going back to uni soon making more vacanies)

HAVE A GREAT DAY
