It appears Callia is over the 3.4M she has of running space within our flat.. we’re in dire need of a house.. so today we’re off to view a couple of near new homes.. to rent.. …not to buy as of yet… near my family and near the school I would like to put Callia into.. it’s a little further north …about half hour…, however, with family, school and familiarity, I’m not too fussed

We’ve got a pretty good range to choose from, with most the places being near new or brand new.. and that’s ideal.. we have also decided on the need for a double garage and 2 bathrooms, simply cos we’re greedy..

For an extra $80 per week, we can get a near new 4-bedroom home with landscaped gardens, double garage and 2 bathrooms.. so we figure, why not hey

I did have to fish …no pun intended… around work and find out if anyone was interested in taking over our lease.. it appears I have been lucky and had a few people interested, which makes the whole ‘looking-for-a-house’ thing a little easier, could save us thousands!

I know DP is tired of moving about.. but I have promised him we’ll sit for a while at the next place.. as moving into this one was kinda rush and with two weeks notice to get out.. we weren’t left with a lot of time to actually look for what we want.. much different to now..

so hopefully.. fingers crossed.. we’ll find our new home over the next couple of days

Considering that my blog has had over 150,000 hits since it’s birth in 2005..

followed me through our pregnancy with Callia..

..documented our travels through United Kingdom..

..not to mention the trials and tribulations of moving to and settling in Australia..

we thought it was worth keeping it active, however, with an active toddler, full-time job and maintaining my relationship with DP, time is something not easily obtained, esp when it comes to blogging..

Hence needing something that would allow me to blog anywhere, anytime!

..and given that I’ve just upgraded my Telstra F85-something flip phone for a Nokia E51, we wanted to test it capabilities…

…and having written this blog up (whilst watching LOTR) and publishing it via my mobile is one of them!

on the upside.. I did finally remember  ‘crap!.. I have a blog!’ ..and decided to log in..and I guess now.. I should prolly update a few things… for instance.. my last post… the whole Wii getting fit regime was completely blown to crap… it never happened.. I have not found the time.. and to be honest.. the motivation just hasn’t been there.. I’m too busy maintaining a household and everyone innit as well as trying to look after myself.. and when I do get that half a second.. I hafta drop the Wii remote as quick as I pick it up.. but I know something has to be done..

There’s so many things I wanna do.. quit smoking for good, stop the on again off again bullcrap.. get fit again.. get some order in my life.. know what I’m doing from one day to the next in such a fashion that I’m motivated into getting things done.. have regular dinners.. actually make the effort and have dinner at night.. instead of not eating at all.. cos I simply do not have time..

My job is great.. workin’ lates at the moment til 10PM ..but I’m finding that in the mornings I get nothing that I wanna do done.. ‘cos I end up fending after everyone else and by the time they are sorted.. I hafta get ready for work..

I’d love to be able to go on my treadmill every morning.. but its in the bedroom.. that happens to be within close proximity of not only DP, but also Callia.. I dun wanna interrupt their sleep whilst I try and sort myself out.. it’s frustrating! =\

This flat is so small.. that nothing can be done without someone else being effected.. and that’s starting to drive me nuts.. in the end I sacrifice everything I wanted to do.. in order to keep everyone else happy.. it’s simply easier to go about the way things continue to go than to enforce such a routine on others..

Maybe I should just get up at 6am every morning and play Wii Sports, save my walking til I get home.. or when Callia has a nap… but then.. I’m taking time away from me and DP.. and soon enough it feels like we haven’t spent a single moment together cos I’m up with Callia whilst he’s asleep, or should I decide to get up early.. it’ll steal cuddle time.. no win situation.. and this could just lead to me turning into a big fat blob who just crumbles under everyone else’s whim and maintains a ‘i’m happy if everyone else is happy‘ theory.. which would be completely bollocks.. cos i dun wanna be fat…lol

like right now for instance.. I could be on the treadmill, yet, hear I sit in the lounge.. using our tv as a computer monitor.. it’s f00ked..*sighs* I need to put a stop to this gross neglect.. of me.. of my blog.. of my relationship.. of involving myself in more structured activities with Callia.. I read to her 7 times a day.. usually one book after the other.. of her choice naturally.. but I’m sure she’s craving a bit of routine.. a bit of something to look forward to… much like her mother..lol

I just wanna scream into a pillow.. it dun help that DP sparked the argumentativeness in me by talking about corporate profiteering with phone companies that sell caps like $29 gets you $130 worth of call credit.. instead of saying.. $29 gets you calls at a flat rate of 25 cents per minute and flat rate of 20 cents per text.. apparently this was outlawed in the UK ..did you know that? .. i dunno..time to sort crap out me thinks.. it’s gonna annoy some people.. but they will feel my wrath in the long term if they dun let me piss them off now..lol

here’s hoping I remember to log on a lot sooner next time.. cheers

well.. with most women.. all of which I’ve spoken about it with.. have said its the connection that gets them off.. the connection being that they are the other person’s ‘world’ for however brief the moment.. they know they are it..the intensity and mutual desire is well apparent..

so it begs to be questioned.. if a woman was regularly doing the deed with someone other than their partner, no one special, work colleague, friend etc just impulsive rampant romping just cos they desired the connection.. could they rebuttal with ‘don’t worry baby.. its a connection thing.. dun mean i love you any less’ ..

would men accept it like we’re meant to accept their need to seek visual stimuli?

*curiously ponders*

I have just signed up for another blog with them, for which I’m still unsure as to what to do, but I’m thinking it might be good to do something like a reference guide with our lil girl growing up and all.. that way maybe other parents or grandparents, etc, may read the trials and tribulations we go through ourselves.. and hopefully find solution in something we have managed to survive through.

This is an open source based blogging and social networking platform, using the likes of WordPress MU and BuddyPress combined to provide an all round social network, that allows you to not only keep in touch with ya mates, but lets you express yourself through the ways of ‘Blog’.

Feel free to have a look, check out my profile..  this project is still in its infancy, but the more people we get involved, the further along we can move.

last friday i had drinks with my workmates after work, before i even finished a glass of wine, i felt half-cut.. i ended up having to go to public toilets and puke my guts up before catching the bus home.. i could not hold it in any longer! =/

so.. saturday.. i’m still feeling ill.. decide.. i have the weekend off, i’ll see how i go.. sunday comes along.. i start feeling illerer.. and all of a sudden, i now have stiff ‘n sore neck and shoulders.. sunday arvo, i decide that i’m going to get a doctor out.. cos i wasn’t sure what was going on, didnt want to drive because i didnt have full mobility of my head-turning-ways.. doctor said it could be a viral infection, wasnt sure.. so only gave me some anti-nausea tablets.. and told me to check with my GP in a couple of days.. so i thought ok fair enough.. he gave me a doctors note for me to stay home on the monday and see how i go..

monday still feeling ill.. been taking panadol and drinking plenty if water.. haven’t taken any nausea tablets.. cos i figure i can cope at the moment.. monday night.. i’m laying on the settee.. had already got myself ready for work today.. so wasn’t stressing over anything..(nothing to stress over!!) .. i start getting pain and tenderness around the abdomen.. cramp-like.. but not totally.. more dull and noticable.. so i took another panadol.. and nothing.. didn’t work.. felt like chucking up my dinner.. but managed to keep it down..

this morning.. im up at 6:50.. still feeling ugh.. have a shower.. nothing changes.. organise to see a doctor.. call work and tell them i’m not going to be in.. and off to see the doctor.. and this one was creepy! .. i told him basically what had happened, had drinks friday, well one drink, puked up, and haven’t felt right since.. he says… wait for it.. its an allergic reaction to the wine – i’m not allergic to anything.. and have never had any allergies before, not of the food/drink variety anyways -_-

he checked my breathing, heart rate etc.. said all seems fine, i said.. something doesn’t feel right.. i dunno why i feel like this, i don’t want to feel like this, i dun have time to be sick.. he smiled -_-

he gives me a prescription for an allergy pill.. says that my body is trying to get rid of the wine or something in the wine.. whatever o.O

i still feel ugh! .. i hate feeling ugh.. and i cannot afford another day off work.. i didnt even wanna be off work.. i was doing so well! ..feels like i’m being taken as a joke.. the GP didnt do any allergy tests or anything, no blood tests, nothing.. it was like i was being humoured..

“..here, yeah you’re funny.. ima give you some tablets which dont do anything at all, but since you’ve taken the time to drive here and see me, we’ll make it seem like it was worth it, yeah?..”

..over it. i just wanna feel like my normal self.. i’m over feeling poorly *pouts*

Our group hit the phones for the first time, unofficially, yesterday.. but officially today.. we left the comfort of our ickle training puddle.. and were plopped into the Pond

I must admit, I’ve not really thought about it.. I kinda just closed my eyes really tight, flapped like mad as I made my way over..lol First call was an irate customer.. just what ya need to kick off the call-taking mood right? ..was all good tho.. the calming effect of my voice got the customer chuckling towards the end of the call.. *smirks* lol

The day went SO quick today.. I dun even think I took that many calls.. and most of which I did take were transfers.. I did have a nice call to top off the end of day tho.. “you’re the best person, by far, I’ve ever spoken to on the phone…. it’s beautiful” ..talk about compliments!! *blushes*

To the team..

Zoe, Kumaran, Dan, Stan, Troy, Shaza, James, Ash, James, Jesse, Tom, Jess, Lauren and Kirri..

CONGRATS GUYS!! We make an awesome team!! WELL DONE!

Many, many, many thanks to our trainers..
