No appetite

Mmmmmm interesting, I have been organising everything for the move to Napier and have had no appetite.............brilliant!!!! LOL.

Hubby currently works for Tip Top as a Territory Manager and has taken on the contract (owner/driver - Distribution partner) for distribution of Tip Top products in Napier.
Fortunately for me, I will have the choice to work part time which will be brilliant as it will allow me to spend more time with my boys as they won't be shuffled off to daycare/after school care everyday.
I'm also looking at getting my heavy trade license so I can be a relief driver for hubby *grunt grunt*. I reckon it can't be THAT hard to drive a big ass truck - right?


Everyone at work knows now which is good as I don't have to leave the room if I make a phone call etc. Everyone is really happy for us and reckon it is a beautiful part of the country to live.

My boss is in a bit of a panic as I have been here nearly 20 years and practically run the place with a huge amount of skills (sorry - blowing my own trumpet) for years of experience and long time contact with our clients/customers/suppliers.
BUT I was a good girl and have given him heaps of notice as I haven't offically resigned as I can't do that until we sell the house (going on the market next week).

Lots of stuff going on and I am having so much fun organising everything.

De-cluttered the kitchen which took me two nights and I ended up with 9 boxes and that's with me throwing stuff out. I just have the bare essential left in the cupboards and will be doing that with the rest of the house between now and next Thursday (when the house goes on the market).

Still haven't been back to WW since 22nd January and I don't think I'll go back anytime soon. I'll wait and see how things go, will definately wait until we move.

Okey Dokey best I be getting back to work *groan*.

WE GOT IT

We are off to Napier........YAY!

There are now a millions things to do:
buy a house
sell a house
find decent schools
buy another car (no more company car)
finalise business loan
get business registered (plus IRD, GST argh!!!)
buy business software (and learn how to use it)
find a part time job

and the list goes on............very scary but very exciting.

That's it for now, I have to go and arrange a storage unit to put all my excess crap from the house so it doesn't look 'cluttered' when we sell it.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo

Yes I'm still here.

Sorry for the absense but I have seriously been snowed under at work and home and haven't had 5 minutes to myself.

I managed to pick up a stomach bug last Thursday and only just made it back to work today and still don't feel 100% but managed to lose 2.5kgs in 5 days....nice! LOL

I'm still totally 'off the rails' with my weight and have not been back to weight watchers in 3 weeks and don't feel like going at the moment so I won't.
My current weight in around 92kgs at the moment and that's after losing 2.5kgs in the last few days so ..... not great.

I currently have my mum in hospital (nothing major) in Australia which I'm worried about just because I can't be there for her PLUS we may be moving to Napier (3.5 hours north of where we are currently for anyone not from NZ) for Andrew's job which I'm also stressing about but trying not too until it happens. I'm snowed under at work and totally miserable with my current job but don't see a light at the end of the tunnel (unless we get the Napier thing) plus the general unmotivated feeling - so all in all I'm OK but just have a thousand things on my mind and unfortunately I'm not putting myself first as I just don't see how I can.

Anyway enough of that palava, how is everyone????
Apart from not updating, I also haven't had a chance to read anyone's blog for a few weeks and feel like a very slack blog friend but I promise I will make some time as soon as I can.

Right I'd better get back to work (ewwww yuk!).
