I have just bought a new car!!! Wheeee!!! It is a 2009 Hyundai Getz, silver, 5 door, with 30 000km. It is the single most expensive purchase of my life.* It was also extremely hard for me to take that leap. I had another dealership offering me slightly cheaper on a 2010 model, yellow, 1500km, but it was 3 door. In the end the extra 2 doors, ( Read more... )

I got my marks back for the reader's report for Editing and Manuscript Preparation - I GOT A HIGH DISTINCTION WOOH!!! I'm fairly certain it's my first HD. For those that aren't familiar with that marking system, numerically I got 90% and effectively can't get a higher grade. Now just to keep my work at this level. The teacher even said "A publisher ( Read more... )

God I'm utterly slothful when I'm housesitting for my sister. Besides from a two hour stint at the shops where I racked up $150 on my credit card, I've done absolutely nothing except eat pretzels, watch Doctor Who, read Almost French and drift in and out of consciousness. There are the remains of my frozen dinner, empty cat food cans, pretzel bags ( Read more... )

I spent most of today with my sister, which was a nice change. Normally we only see each other for a couple of hours. We went shopping at Castle Towers; I got my Peter Alexander jim jams changed and new sheets for my bed, we had sushi, wandered a bit and met Karen for Max Brenner coffee. When I got back to Rach's she gave me a proper massage (I  ( Read more... )

I had to take Tux to the vet this morning because his right eye has been weeping since Saturday. He has kitty conjunctivitis so I have to give him eye drops. I hate eye things. They make me ridiculously squeamish. It's so stressful taking the cats to the vet because they cry something horrendous and it's such a distressing noise. According to the ( Read more... )

Went  shopping with Jen and Abbi in Newtown. There was so much I was dying to splurge on but I really don't have the money right now and won't until my shifts pick up again. That's IF they pick up. *grumbles*

The weather was a little off. It would rain and get windy and cold but then the Big Cheese would flip a switch and the sun would appear ( Read more... )

I bought new jeans today! They are slim flare and look fantastic, though I now have to get them taken up. The bane of being vertically challenged ( Read more... )

New Layout! Thank you to podunkd for enlightening me in the ways of layout communities and to the wonderful Jen for fiddling with my layout so my mood theme would fit ( Read more... )

Happy Australia Day! I would be more patriotic if patriotism was not a synonym for bogan in this country ( Read more... )

My new bed arrived yesterday and we put it together today, so I am currently typing from the vast space that is my bed! The mattress is only temporary, the proper one is coming later in the week and this one is going in the study. Regardless, I am thoroughly in love with my bed and think it was worth the nasty bruise forming on my right foot after ( Read more... )
