Random Ramblings

Well nothing much ever happens that is too exciting in our world...always something going on thou which keeps us all out of trouble for the most part:)

My boy got a new job but found that 26 hours a week (long weekend days mainly) along with school and TAFE all got a wee bit much for him and we had some issues the other day. Needless to say he has backed off a little, well alot and has stopped working there just for the time being. Darrel went in and spoke to a duty manager about the situation and thankfully where he now works legally can roster you on for 1 shift every three months so they are happy to take it slow with Leigh and wait to see how he goes. We didnt want him to burn his bridges totally. And after Dad speaking to the manager he was more inclined to think oh ok, the pressure is off maybe i can try another area in the shop. So for that we are grateful and for the moment we have our happy son back,poor love, he and i both suffer from anxiety so poor zo was on the phone to daddy texting the other day say HELP mum and leigh are both having anxiety attacks and let me tell you it aint pretty!! She is such a darn sweetheart and i LOVE her so much.....i also ADORE this boy of ours, we are so lucky and proud that they are our kids......

Not so proud tho when the teenager clocks up a $525 phone bill......ummm yeah but to make matters even worse...while ringing telstra for 2.5 months to get that bill issued to me because i never received it...long story,,,,well we got another bill.....this even worse.....$567.00....i tell you what, we got the kids and the boyfriend and girlfriend here (turned out well actually) and just explained that this CANNOT happen again......we will see and because most of the calls are to the bf....young miss will be loosing money from her bank account, she doesnt seem to worried about it as its not one she accesses but it will make me feel better......

I cant pay all this as well as the new freezer.,,,,yes unfortunatly the freezer decided to topple off the perch for the last time so we had to search for another one,,,,:) got a good deal actually, last one on the floor was 1399 we got it for oh....1250....so not a bad deal.

I have been doing some night shifts at work this last few days. The packer left and i had offered a while ago to do some work over there.....anyway i start at 1.30am to roughly 7.30am 5 days a week and from 3am til say 7am on sat mornings.
You know what i dont even mind it:) Apart from the fact you dont have a life.
Im trying to get lots of sleep because in the back of my mind i am very consious that my ear problem could have been caused by stress and being run down, so i try to go to bed about 10am til say 2.30 3pm and again back to bed at 7.30pm or thereabouts...so not much time to do much else......

Darrel had a play with my computer as i got my new phone happening and because i want to play along with the A Photo a Day game some friends are playing on fb....but i dont want to go to the trouble of lugging out the camera resizing pics ect...so i have yet to have a bash at that:)

Have nearly finished pruning the plums, did take photos the other day of the hedger that came in and took the tops of the trees off so i shall post them when i get some time up my sleeve...will have a bash at putting pics of the new vegie garden up here..hang ten:)

okay those pics are on camera but i did upload a rather shabby not nice pic of the scarf i crochetted....i visited Lucy from Attic24 and saw a link for a blanket a friend was making, i loved it and promptly decided to make me one.....but turned it into a scarf instead......i wear it everywhere and it is so warm:)

Might disappear for the moment, wan to have a shower and try to squeeze in some grocery shopping now i have a freezer and someplace to store my food.....hmmm what we would have done without them...although i really like mine to keep leftover stews and soups in because on weekends when we are busy with block work and dont have time to grab something healthy for lunches or tea at least there is always something healthy on hand:)

We will be taking a few days away shortly, we need some time together as a family, ideas being tossed about were Queensland, Melbourne Adeladie and Mildura.....this trip will be either Adelaide or Mildura...if Adelaide we will take a side trip to visit Maggies Shop, from the Cook and the Chef...really like these guys and would love to *meet* them, i think maggie has daily cooking in her shop???? From memory??

Anyway the plan is to get in the car and just drive, with no particular destination in mind...just go:) We wont be stopping in to see anybody and wont go anyhere we dont feel like going:) I think we SO need this timexx
