OK, I figure it's time I replace that last blog, so here goes.

For those of you that don't already know, I've recently (about two and a half weeks ago) left NZ for a life in Adelaide, South Australia (the city of nevynII).
Overall it's a great thing, but it hasn't been all wine and roses. I was working in pretty much my dream...

I had some slightly nerve-wracking but very exciting news today...my store manager spent mon-wed in Sydney for the Australasian manager's conference, and while she was there she had a talk to her friend who just so happens to be the manager at the Adelaide store about me. Basically, she's looking at hiring people now and is willing to give me a full time job on...

OK time for a new blog...

Nothing much has happened in the past month worth blogging about really, other than my 2wks down to see my mum and the kids (for those of you not in the loop, my half siblings are 7, 9, 12 and almost 14) which was great. It was so good to get away from the stress of looking for work,...

One of me best friends from high school is getting married today, and because I don't drive, I couldn't make it.

I have a new man who is amazing (my mother described him as "gorgeous and lovely and fun". He met her and the kids when he gave ALL his childhood Lego (a whole suitcase full, including an entire castle!!) to my 12yo mildly autistic...

Hey again, I realised that for some reason, that amazon link was wrong, so here's the actual shoes I got SHOES!! Amazon said they'd take 8-16 days, but I got them in 3, so I'm a happy girl. Will wear them for my friend's hens party on Friday, hopefully will get some decent pics before I get too drunk.

Speaking of pics, my uncle's getting...

Today I had a job interview. It was the cruisiest interview ever, and needless to say, I aced it. 10min later, as I wandered round the mall to kill time before the next bus, I get this phone call "Hi, I've just talked to my team an we'd love to have you. Come back and get the paperwork and you can start on Thursday."

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I need good reasons not to just go to bed and just stay there til Sunday. I've had 2 naps today, and I've been stuffing my face with candy since yesterday, which hasn't helped any, I have about $3 in my bank account and I have nothing to do except facebook and chat. While that may be acceptable for some, I've struggled for months to...

I need sleep. 7 nights in a row of waking up at 2am followed by a night without any sleep at all makes me very fragile and short tempered. If I knew what was waking me every night I'd be doing everything possible to avoid it, but as it is, I have NO idea what it is. The first night was asthma, but after that...
