3 months to the day

Who's a slack blogger then *waves arm straight up in the air* sorry bout that.

Well where do I start?????

Our house has been on the market for nearly 3 months now and no bites, we even reduced the price (to lower than what our minimum was but???) and changed the ad, changed the main photo but still nothing.......bugger.

We have the agent coming over tonight as his contract is up and we are going to resign for 1 more month and if it doesn't go then we are going to rent it and get up to Napier as it where we really want to be.

Ummmmm what else? Oh yeah weight - up to 95.5kgs this morning which isn't the worst it got, I did go up over 10kg gain before I decided to stop being lazy and get back to it. I had reverted to old ways (easily done eh?) and started making more convenience food (spaghetti on toast, 2 minute noodles, pizza etc) which wasn't doing myself or my family any favours so as of Monday (on day 3 only) I have gone back to my stir fry's and soups and am really enjoying them. Cut the bread down to a minimum which has always been my biggest downfall (don't know when to stop) and started drinking my water again.

My clothes aren't fitting me anymore and I have gone back into the very few items I had left in my closet which are very boring and frumpy.

I bought a new car, (2nd hand actually) a Toyota Camry Station Wagon (its burgandy).
I had one years ago and I just loved it but it didn't have any air conditioning and the kids and I suffered in the summer with the heat so I have got another one WITH air conditioning and it is awesome driving a camry again.

Treadmill - IN STORAGE. BIG mistake but we hired a storage container and de-cluttered the house and got rid of everything we didn't need or took up space and thinking we would sell in house in a few weeks (ha!) I packed the treadmill away and now I'm suffering because I haven't done any other source of exercise.
I was going to get it back out but have now made the decision to leave it there as we are only going to have the house on the market for another month and then we will be moving anyway and I don't want to junk the house up for the last month.

Hubby and the kids are great and just trucking along. Reece is really improving at school with his teacher this year (MR Frith) and Adam's independence is really showing and he has even moved into his 'own' room because he is a 'big boy' now.......very cute.

Work is work - nothing exciting there, I am actually REALLY looking forward to moving so my head really isn't here anymore - very challenging.

Hope everyone is fine, I have managed to pop in and have a quick read of some of your blogs but haven't always left comments (sorry).

Welcome back!!!! Shame about the house! Seems to be the thing at the moment with lots on the market. Good idea to rent and move on.


Good you are back into your 'healthier' routine again.

Thanks for your comments and ideas, LOL guess I'm trying something a bit drastic this week. Decided against the pool today in the end and just going to Pilates, looking forward to it!

Bread - my downfall too, also sushi, crackers....

I know how you feel re: the house selling.... we have been on the market for 7 months now and nothing. Had 2 contract fall down.. waiting for 3rd time lucky! Hang in there girl, all will sort itself out eventually.

Glad you're back too. I'm sure everything will work out at least you'll be in Napier soon and I know that's where your heads at now.

Have a good weekend.
