I really miss Grandma. It's been four weeks since she died and I can't believe I won't be visiting her each Wednesday in the nursing home. Mel is sad as well and finding it difficult to cope at times - she was closer to Grandma then me - but we both were with her in her final hour holding her hand and talking to her, just being there for her as she ( Read more... )

Darcy wanted a bowl of ice cream last night (his most favourite food in the whole world) and after I mentioned that he hadn't finished his dinner and wouldn't be getting ice cream until he did, he threw himself on the lounge and started kicking his legs. When I asked him what he was doing, he said "I'm making more room in my legs Mummy, so my ( Read more... )

I'm in a good space right now. My business is going awesomely and each month I have brought in more and more income, as well as more clients. I still panic if I don't have any work for a few days but invariably I get inundated after this small hiatus and it makes up for any down time. I am slowly becoming used to the ups and downs of working for ( Read more... )

My business is going well. I have continued to work from home and regular work has been filtering in. I had a slow week last week and a couple of weeks ago, so I do have to watch my expenditure so that we can still afford to eat when their isn't much work. But on the whole, it's quite successful and I can FEEL that its going to be more successful ( Read more... )

Since I last wrote, life has been downright busy but in a good way. I have had a little bit of temp work since leaving the hospital but nothing earth shattering. The best news is however that I have been solidly working from home the last week and a half. I have acquired another client based in Sydney and one in the US. They are both very easy to ( Read more... )

I dislike winter. I hate being cold, I just can't seem to keep warm. Today it rained all day and it struggled to 12C - yay. We are only halfway through winter as well and summer seems such a long way off. Queensland is looking more attractive by the day - warm all year round although the humidity in summer would kill me. I do like our dry ( Read more... )

Why do people blow each other up? Sending my love to all Britons and let's hope they catch the cretins who did this.

I was very reluctant to put Darcy on a plane this morning to Melbourne to visit his Dad. Iam feeling rather fragile at present as Darcy was very upset and crying at the airport. I know he will be okay but it was distressing.

I reached my Weight Watchers goal weight today! Yay for me! I have lost a total of 6 kilos so far and I only had to lose 5.3 to reach my goal weight, so I exceeded it! I feel amazing and - okay, its taken me 6 months to reach my goal weight (probably half of that time has been spent dicking around with the program, cheating, fudging etc) but ( Read more... )

I have suddenly been inundated with work! It started with me winning a transcription job on the job site and then another lady from Perth emailed me and asked if I would help her with transcription work. So I have been flat out the last few days, working full time and then coming home and transcribing for a few hours. I realised I couldn't keep ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, the biggest news to come out of this week that I nearly forgot to post! J is apparently crushed and depressed and can't understand why I "dumped him". WTF?? He allegedly told my brother-in-law that he wants me back but "don't tell Dee".

Suffer in ya jocks, baby!
