They say

Confession is good for the soul

so I guess I should confess

dh applied for a harbour Masters job

dh got an intervew for said harbour masters job

someone from NSW flew to Melbourne today to actually meet him face to face

and now we wait  for a yay or a nay.

If he gets it, and we are very confident he will

we will be moving (again)

this time to NSW, to the Sapphire Coast

a little town halfway betwen Melbourne and Sydney

its 475 kms to Sydney

3 hours to Canberra

BUT

and there is always a BUT lol

there is no relocation package for us this time

which means, we have to pay

and I just got a quote in from our favourite removalist company

and all I can say is

OUCH OUCH OUCH

who would have thought that moving from Tassie to NSW

could be so mind blowingly expensive

we could pay nearly 8 months worth of

mortgage payments

so please keep your fingers crossed for us

that we win lotto sometime in the next 3 weeks

** I spoke to dh about the lack of a relocation package
and he said that it is not common for them to be offered
WA gave us one due to the extremely remote location and
to make it more appealing , our move to WA and home again
would have paid our mortgage for 3 1/2years**

Houston, we have a problem

and I need some advice from wise ones

who have hopefuly dealt with our issue

before us.

Miss S has a 'best friend' Miss G

now Miss S is very popular with her friends

Miss G isn't Miss S is her ONLY friend

whenever Miss S asks someone else to be her partner

for something at school

Miss G becomes so nasty which is what happened today

at school

Now us mothers have always let them sort it out themselves

but tonight while I was doing my class at the gym,

Miss G turned on my baby girl, she was so mean to her

Miss I is now refusing to go to the gym at night

because Miss G is there.

My baby girl doesn't have a mean bone in her body

and for me to collect her and have her burst into tears

as soon as she saw me because of Miss G, has made my

blood boil.

My advice to the girlies was to ignore her at school

and when she asked Miss S to go for a play to say no thanks

and if she asked her to be her partner for anything to say

no thanks XXXX is my partner today.

Have I told them the wrong thing??

There is no point talking to her mother because her reply is

always oh thats just Miss G......

but its hard as her mum and I are such good friends, we do

WW together, we go to the gym together

we have afternoon drinkies, we go on trips etc etc

so HELP WISE ONEs please.

what did you do, because I am ready to

slap that child into next year.

So excited

first up though is my stitching

In my garden

in random order

all together minus the 1 I haven't stitched.....YET

and I have some stem stitch to do on 1 and a heart

to stitch on the house.....

and my neglected bear paws...

and why am I so excited...

I lost 1.5kgs this week :) :) :)

ony 19 to go lol



I have been stitching

away on Lynette Andersons

In my Garden button club thingie

I am pleased to report I only have 1 left to stitch

then I have to sew each blocks little borders on

then sew them all together....

But I am getting there.

photos of the 8 completed to come TODAY

My bear paws are still lacking 4, and are hanging

on my design wall neglected so I have to get back into them

I picked up Miss I's new quilt a couple of weeks ago

that is sitting on my chest of drawers far away from

Henry cat's free flowing fur waiting for the binding to be sewn on

I haven't started my new Anni Downs BOM

that wil happen AFTER I stitch my last In the garden stitchery

nor have I started Berries and Buebirds,

Block 9 of Down in the Garden is on its way to me in the post

Sooooo much to do so little time

and its my first weigh in today

considering I have been soooo very good in the food department

and I have done 2 zumba classes, 1 pump and 1 balance class

I am hoping for a good number.

and I have balance tonight, which is great cause

at the moment I need some Yoga, Tai Chi and balance

things are getting stressful...........

hopefully this Friday will bring some answers........

Roll on Friday :)



Remember

This post

well there has been a slight change of plans,

plans which changed at great expense I might add

so no fabric for me :(

well the amended plans are set in stone and if it changes

again there will be BIG trouble

My lil trip has been set back a week so I now have

another 15 days to wait

and patience is not a strong point of mine

before I am now sitting in one of these

and you know the rest, nothing else other than the dates have changed except I no longer have

to suffer with a Jetstar flight.......

Men, you can't live with and you can't legally shoot them either.



I am balanced

which was far more successful than Zumba

minimal co-ordination needed lol

So I hoped on the scales at the gym

to find I had apparently gained 1.5kgs

bad, bad, bad

but it seems the scales at the gym may need

new batteries

because according to the wii board on Thursday I have lost 1.2kgs

but after a quick weight check today I have gained 100g....

so I loaded the kids in the car and we went and burnt my 100g off

with a 2km walk through the Gorge and back along the zig zag track

which today took a whole
45 minutes.......

I am sure we  will all sleep like logs tonight :)

I am off to do a Pump class tomorrow afternoon

 Balance on Wednesday evening

Zumba on Friday morning

& Saturday afternoon

and Sundays plan is pump followed by balance.

Downward dog here I come lol

my girlfriend assures me my 100g gain is muscle

I hope she is right



Its Official

I have just come home from the gym where I did

my first zumba class

it was great, loads of fun and lots of giggling

and lots of sweat

but

its official

when it comes to getting both arms and legs

moving

I seem to lose all co-ordination

oh well off to do it again next week

I'll have to report in tomorrow afternoon about

the Balance class

its a mix of tai chi, Pilate's and yoga

it lengthens your muscles apparently

so

here's to longer muscles and an increase in height lol
