Just enjoying family time and weigh In....

Well the birthday weekend went pretty good, but back into a routine today..... housework done, washing all up to date, puppies at groomers and back into nails tomorrow.

Weigh in and lost 700 grams, not going to lie was really surprised, expected a gain after not the best eating this weekend, and thew birthday cake was so delicious. 

The kids got me 'Isla-Maree' gift vouchers so excited to spend those when they start getting there winter stock in. To bloody cold here for summer clothes now, though the last couple of days have been so warm....

Still not been to the gym, maybe this week lol. I just need to get into a routine with the gym, the hard part is always the first time....

Back later......

Ok didn't get back yesterday....

 Baby Isaac takes up so much time lol, hence why I didn't get back yesterday.

Today not much happening 7 people are now dead, including a 2 year old with the Cyclone, it is just so so sad...... they think there will be more deaths as many are still unable to make contact. I did give Isaac many more hugs last night and this morning.

Tonight Chris and Izzy will be here, tomorrow we are just going to do something at home in the early afternoon, might even be a BBQ for my birthday, as the weather is suppose to be good. Been a while since we have all been together. Of course Steph and her partner will be here and Isaac. 

Might even ask Chris to do my flatpack draws, as he is good with stuff like that lol. 

Anyway may be back later or maybe not lol 

Thursday already......

First thing went to Spotlight and picked up the set of draws, well the flatpack for the draws, now I just need to put them together, might do that tomorrow after Isaac goes home, yip it's Thursday night, that means I have Isaac for the night. 

This weekend Chris and his partner Izzy is coming down for my birthday not really sure what we are doing all weather dependable..... which at this stage is suppose to be sunny. Suppose to be getting thunder storms this afternoon, and so are the areas that were really hit bad by Cyclone Gabrielle..... 5 people have died so far. What is happening to this world........

Back later with hopefully something a bit more exciting to say, but dont hold your breath lol

Am on a roll.......

Well lets see what today, brings, this afternoon I have clients, this morning a bit of housework......

Was going to to go the gym but officially my memberships starts tomorrow, well when the key thing works, I could go in staff hours but it is so busy then, so am hoping to go tomorrow.

Yesterday 'Mama Mane' had a 20% off for Galantines Day I purchased this dress, it will be the third one I have in this style, I love it, and besides its my birthday on Saturday so a birthday gift to myself. I didn't want to ask David to purchase it for me, he just bought me a new McBook Pro Laptop, so told him that would be my birthday/Christmas pressies for the next few years lol. 

Back later.....

Well not a lot more to report, clients done for the day.... baby Isaac is here tomorrow night, have a client free day. I need to go and get an online click and collect order from Spotlight, they had one of those 40% of vouchers so used it to purchase some storage draws for the craft corner.

Did my meat order from 'The Meat Box', oh and a Fruit Box, they sell now, the last one was really nice - they will be arriving Friday afternoon. 

Now need to organise dinner, not sure what we are having though yet. 

Haha forget The Meat Box, unable to deliver to the Bay of Plenty due to flooding etc, so will have to reorder next week.....

Anyway outta here... Night Night 

And another day.......

 Well lets see what today brings, last night we had heavy rain and winds.... had a power-cut but slept through that lol. Today the weather is so much better, it is so calm and hard to believe how bad the weather was last night. 

Last night at about 9pm, my daughter rings, saying "mum can you come over something is wrong with Isaac", she showed me on video chat he was just screaming.... so we rushed over there and nothing could settle him, he was so hot, I checked him for a rash, and couldn't find any thank god. After about another hour and half, he started calming down, have no idea what set him off, but about midnight he went back to sleep and slept all through the night and this morning has woken up as if nothing has happened. It was pretty scary out there in the weather, but thank god she only lives about 10 min away. 

Today I am hoping to spend some time on the cricut machine, so lets see if that happens, we cancelled nails today this morning we had no idea what the weather was going to do and if the power would last, so we have postponed todays appointments to later this week, it was a mutual agreement as they didn't want to go out and about unless necessary. I did finish the housework that I never got done yesterday. 

Just rung the gym and my membership has resumed as from today, so thats good. Hope to get there tomorrow :). 

Back later.....

Well did the T-Shirt, first attempt so pretty happy with it. There are a couple of mistakes but learnt what NOT to do for next time lol….

Catch you all tomorrow :) 

Well lets see how many days I post......

 Well today will be a stay indoor day, the cyclone is on its way and we have rain so far and thats about it, I think we will miss the worst of it. 

This morning is the normal house work, I do nails Tuesday to Friday, and Mondays is housework day. I really want to do a few things on the cricut machine today, I want to do a T-shirt for baby Isaac with a shark on, his favourite thing for now. He loves it when Pa (cant say Opa yet - David) wear's his.

Hours Later:

Well today didn't go quite as planned, I ended up looking after Baby Isaac, for a few hours, Steph was not feeling well. So that laid to rest all the plans for the day. So far we are not being hit too hard by the Cyclone, the rain has been continuous, but thats nothing new for us here. The wind is picking up a bit, but again nothing to worry about. I feel for those from North Auckland upwards, Chris (son) is pretty safe where they are. 

Hard to believe we are in the supposed hottest month of the year, and are dressed in winter clothes lol. Today I changed most of clothes over to winter, have given up on summer for this season. Here is my little grandson enjoying his black/white board.

Anyway thats me for today, all going to plan there will be another post tomorrow, oh and didn't hear back from the gym, will ring them tomorrow.

Catch you all later :)

Well where the hell has this time gone......

 Well it is now 2023, and have no idea where the last few months went. 

Not a lot has happened, so there is not a lot to catch up on, have not been to the gym, weight is up by about 3 kilos, I can handle that considering it has been Christmas. I think my gym membership resumes on Monday, but not 100% sure, will ring them on Monday.

What I have been loving is spending heaps of time with Baby Isaac, I cant believe he is 19 months old now, he is at such a cute age and so happy 90% of the time, the 10% is when he is tired and not so good lol. I have worked my hours around having him every Thursday night now for the night :). I had him for 6 days/night the other week which was tiring but OMG I loved it. 

Can not believe it is Autumn in just under 3 weeks, we never had a summer, we only had about 5 days where it was over 25degrees C, and OMG so much rain, I think we only got the outdoor cushions out only twice where they lasted more than 24 hours. And more rain is expected for the next week, I am so over this weather. Cyclone Gabrielle, is due to hit later today. We have removed anything that can blow away, not sure how bad it is will be, but lets hope not to bad.

Weigh in today, and yip 3 kilos up since November (last weigh In), I am ok with that, but I need to knuckle down and get serious and lose this weight for my total knee replacement, which I doubt will even happen this year with the way the health system is here, unless I go private and pay ourselves. 

Nails are picking up again this year which is nice, I lost all motivation end of last year, and got myself into a real funk, which I am slowly coming out off. 

I think I mentioned that I got a Cricut machine, I am slowly getting more confident with it, and making different things, will post photos soon.

Anyway thats it from me for now, catch you later and take care out there.
