Success!

Also forgot to say that I have finished packing. All done. I was a bit overweight so Jamie had to sit down with me and sensibly discuss all of my outfit choices.
And it worked. I am now about 800 grams under weight but i still have to pack my toiletries.

I might have to break the habit of a lifetime and buy travel sizes and distill my toiletries into mini bottles.

Next time I write I will be in Sunny NZ and hopefully more tanned.

See all my NZ whanau soon.

Ps If we could all pray to the man upstairs for an upgrade that would be appreciated.

This annoys me

I am jealous and irritated

And I arrive on Sunday and it's forecast to rain.

draining.

What would you save?

The other day we were out with friends and someone asked us

If you could save one thing from your burning house what would it be?

I said ‘Wedding album’ without hesitation
And Jamie after about 2 seconds said 'my laptop under one arm and my x-box under the other.'

I was pretty happy with those answers until our friend pointed out that we wouldn’t save each other.

Uh-oh we are doomed.

thinking about it

it has occurred to me reading previous blog entries that there are certain themes running through. I wish I could say they were all Oprahish like how we can all live better lives but my blog tends to be filled with my obsession with the weather, food and stuff I generally don't like to do.

And this blog post is no exception. It's that time again to discuss my hatred for packing. I am off to NZ in a few days which makes me happy! but packing my suitcase makes me sad.
I hate packing I will do anything to avoid it. ANYTHING. like the dishes, clean my bedroom take all the recycling to the recycling bins in the cold and now write on my blog about how much I hate it. this time I am restricted to only take 20 kilos. Panic stations. My wedges alone weigh 5kg, the suitcase about 4 and presents for back home 7. So I can now only take a few pair of undies and one bra.

Also I am leaving my husband behind for 2 weeks and I thought I wouldn't miss him because I am a tough old bird. But I will miss him. And also I am leaving him in charge of the builders and renovations also makes me nervous.

Right so I am off now to find something else to do rather than pack. Anything else.

I want

the following things
1) A dog, that I am not allergic to, that doesn't poo or wee and doesn't need any outside space. Any suggestions welcome.
2) A designer handbag either Chloe or Mulberry I am not fussy
3) Hot hot sunshine
4) A builder that calls you back and delivers written quotes on time.
5) An ugg boot that covers my entire body head to toe so that I am never cold again. Though obviously if I got some hot hot sunshine I wouldn't need the full body ugg. In that case I want an all over body tan.
