We have laybyed a treadmill- YAY
The cat has been desexed- YAY

wow i have been so hyper today! And efficient!! YAY!! I hope I am going to be MUCH more "time managementy" this week. and I can honestly say I have not eaten anything bad. I was pretty good on the weekend too- well, no chocolate anyway lol. I can't wait to start seeing weight loss again. Getting started is the hardest, once you can SEE the results, its on!

I am heading home in 10 mins. Its bitterly cold and almost dark and I want the bus to hurry the hwll up so I can go home and put dinner on, wash my dogs and mop the floor. Chicken parma tonight and strawberry low joule jelly with strawberry halves in the bottom for dessert (i made that before work) go me!

Perfect weather. The weather I have been waiting for, wet, windy and cold!!!
Husband and I slept in, had a lazy morning and then headed to the hub for lunch and some quick shopping before going to have coffee with my grandfather as it was his 82nd birthday the other day. We bought him some Anton Berg liquor chocolates and had polish coffee with him and his girlfriend. I then went to work and am now watching old school 90210 and blogging :-)

I spent money I shouldn't have today; bought husband a nice baby blue stripey long sleeve tee, a vampire novel for me (NOT twilight, already read em lol) some black rosary beads, a new shimmery bronze eyeshadow and anew pair of leggings. Hmmph.

I so do NOT want to work tomorrow. Am tired and not interested :-)

what do you think of my hat today btw? Had severely dirty hair, lol

101st Post

my new stripey knit- yarra trail (myer)

black wet look leggings- city chic

flats- big w

I was looking at my blog before and I'm like.. 100 posts? Ohh I missed my 100th post! I was kinda upset for like 2 seconds and then I was all whatevs, i'm starting a new tradition of celebrating the 101st post.. I'm a supporter of the underdog.


Today was spent sleeping, having a house tidy, going for a coffee with husb and mumsy and dadsy at GJ, having some subway, purchasing leopard print flats as I said I was gunna lol and doing the unglam grocery shop.





So other than the flats and some $4 bangles I bought, there was no other purchases for me. Quite proud. I went to Big W and hated everything pretty much. Crossroads had some ok stuff but I am really suddently conscious of repeat buying. I feel like I have 50 million of the same things sometimes (ie. vests, white wanna-be blousey/whimsical tops) and I really didn't feel like buying, you know?





Anyway, looking forward to some nice seafood and wine for dinner I think.. and some skinny cow ice cream (yes YES i am being good.. finally :) )





happy saturday evening xxx

The odd vest

black 3/4 sleeve tee- big w

black leggings- big w

tan boots- kmart

tan/brown knit vest- thrifted (but is from supre, haha)

walked into a mess this morning. freight missing, the receptionist gone home sick. mah, glad I'M not a manager and had to sort it out.

needless to say I spent most of the day at reception. mah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

how weird is this vest? its from savers but the label says Supre so its probably meant to be a dress lol. I did like it, I think I should have gone with something tighter underneath to make it ore streamline but anyway.. i like to post exactly what i wear daily if i can, even if it is shit because how can I go back and know not to wear something if its not blogged. This blog is for my benefit not yours.. lol

work was ok today. had an interesting chat with a manager hmm..

went shopping tonight and did something naughty. a Myer purchase. In case you haven't noticed I shop like twice a week at least. I like to have a LOT of new stuff. I like cheap stuff, because I shop a lot lol. It is not often I do a myer shop but I went in there tonight and fell in love with this Yarra Trail roll neck knitted baggy jumper and slim leg black regatta pants. But really, $120 for both was not bad! The YT top was 40% off! Its not bad, I guess the bad thing is that tomorrow I want some leopard print flats and a revlon colorstay mineral eyeshadow... oh welllll.... two minute noodles next week xx

What is going on this week?

I woke up this morning and was like- OMG please TELL me its friday already. The thought that I had to get up and then get up AGAIN for work tomorrow morning made me want to vomit.

Today has been flat chat. Which I mean, is good, but they have condensed our staff because a) we were quiet b) they are tight arses and c) they are tight arses so now we are short staffed and busy. whatevs.

anywho must fly.. got appt with the tax man eeek!

Reliving the day...

My husband works with this lady who took some photos for the wedding. It has taken ages for her to do anything with them as they have been busy at work etc but today I saw some of them.

wow. am in love with them. below are two pics, one with my mum and one with my dad. i know i will forever cherish both these pics xxx it was so nice to see new pics of the day, makes me remember just how special my wedding was xxxxxx

quick + busy update

tired this morning. unimaginative. but i ended up liking this ensemble. please excuse pic. had memory card etc at home but hubby left early. not missing much of the day, i have rocked really shit bland makeup lately, lol. i dunno what it is.. i think i need to wear more. pack it on more. and a more pink lippy and blush.
i have plans tonight again. then tomorrow night the accountant again. Friday night, drinks with the girls. Saturday, I am NOT leaving the house I swear.. can't wait :-)

lazy breakfast, did some washing. went to the shops and had subway and a coffee. bought some chanel-esque flats and some bangles. Did the grocery shopping. And all in my fave new sunday casual outfit xx

I am reflecting on a great weekend.
Friday, my husband and step daughter picked me up from work and we went to get some popcorn, malteasers and dvd's. We then went home and had lasagne and a movie night. Lotsa fun xx.

Saturday morning she and I were up early and off for a day of op shopping and dandenong market-ing. Had a great time. There two op shops on Princes Hwy in Dandenong that I have been wanting to go to.. both not so good unfortunately. A lot of the Vinnies and that I have been to in remote areas have all their plus size stuff in one section which saves soo much time. This one didn't. So short of searching thru everthing, so chance to find anything good. I had a little look, but couldn't see anything.

We then to to Busk and had a coffee (well I did, she had a hot choc) and some awesome mars bar cake. Then off to the Dandenong Market where she bought a necklace and a dora ring and I bought a white lacey long sleeved long top/mini dress and some hello kitty socks for her.
We met up with hubby for some lunch then and I also picked up a really nice beige long cardigan out of target, 25% off.
Saturday afternoon I worked at the roast and was knackered because of my busy day and it was actually a realllllllly shit shift due to the 16 year old trollops I worked with. I must be getting old because hearing them talk about their sex life, the pill, pregnancy tests, diets and goon was wearing thin after the first hour. Sigh. I went home, ate a bowl of icecream then asked hubby if I had had dinner? I hadn't. I forgot, lol. I watched some old school 90210 and crawled into bed about 2am xx

I

in the nudes

I have gone for a bit of a nudey theme today, ha ha. neautral colours all around.
i don't love this top, i like it. i want to love it but i feel like it looks a bit grandma on me ha ha.
i just wore it because i wanted something neautral toned to theme in with my boots. I was going to wear leggings but needed a change, haven't worn my skinny jeans for ages. they feel ok actually so far... not too tight ha ha...

Last night I...
bought nothing from savers. realllly disapointing. they had NO tops. They had NO cardi's. They had heaps of dresses but I just wasn't 100%- one was a stretch blue floral 60's ish thing with long sleeves, a pussy bow tie and was empire line, flaring out into a just below the knee flared skirt under the boobs. I just think it was a little too vintagey for work. Remember that floral zip up dress I wore a while ago? Well I thought that looked really good but on second thoughts i really hate the dress and I don't want to make the same mistake again. I then tried on a white broderie anglaise baby doll dress- very cute but wayy too small :( I almost bought a stripey sweater dress sailorey thing but I think I have enough stripes!
went to best + less and bought a roll neck grey/white chunky striped looong sweater. Will look great over back leggings + black boots. I am not really usually into a roll neck, would have preferred v neckn but i think with my shorter hair now, the roll neck will be ok
went to target and drooled over some shoes. Cannot decide between tan low ankle boots with fringing, black black and cream chanel-esque ballet flats and heeled mary janes. I think I am going to go the chanel-esque flats as I am really craving lotsa flats this winter. I don't do the heels I have very often so it would be wasteful to add more to my wardrobe i think?
saw a cute black knit hat at a little stand for $5 but couldnt buy it as I had no change. I will go back tomorrow i think :-)
bought some faux chanel earrings from a little stand. cute little hoops with the diamante cc on them. I know I am probably jumping on this trend a little late but I am really into them, ha ha

i want accessories.. socks, tights, gloves, hats, earrings, shoes

might go to savers tonight.. $30 challenge? lol

Windy + Chilly

It is cold today. Cold + windy + a little rainy. I have my pink plush hello kitty scarf and my heater on standby.

I like my jumper today. I love the simple equation of Loose knit + leggings + boots. It's a great easy wintery outfit. I bought this jumper last winter from Savers, have worn it a few times when it is cold, i like it.

my mother in law took this photo, ha ha. My husband told her all about my blog and she was like, ohh thats soo great, show me. I didn't :-)

last night we went to dinner with them and I wore what I wore to work, i soo love my harem pants, just need to work out how/what to wear them with on a cold day. I think I need some open toe booties. I was thinking they would look really nice out as well with some heels and a cami or a tube top. Anyway I had this really nice seafood filo last night at the pub, was yummmmmmy. then I ate the lindt bunny my MIL bought for me lol. At least all the chocci is gone and I can be healthy again. Starting small with goals, just want to lose a few kgs so my skinny jeans don't feel so tight coz lately- far out! My skinnies are only a size 16 and i am technically not a 16 lol and they are quite tight but lately they have been giving me severe muffin-age and also killing my innards lol. So, I think a few weeks and a 5-10 kg drop will be good!
after dinner and the bunny-scoffing i watched some eps of BH90210 season 6- when Colin was dating Kelly, ha ha, was awesome. I then jumped on you tube and fed my nostaligic 90's mood by watching some Mr Big, Roxus and Southern Sons clips. Oh and I found someone who uploaded footage of girlfriend singing at the 1992 ARIA awards- ohh it was beyond great!

arabian nights

ok.. so its not reeaalllly very arabian night-ey but anywho.

I love love love these pants. I ummed and ahhed over what to pair them with. You know I hate wearing short tops unless I tuck in and do the high waisted thing (and beleive me, these pants are severely high waisted!! buttt.. I cannot yet do high waisted tucked in pants) but I thought a long top with the pants wouldn't suit. I tried to google what to wear with them but all i got was- if you are fat, don't wear them, lol. and you know that is like waving a red flag in front of a bull for me.

I tried on a beige 3/4 sleeve short top with some lace on the neckline- I usually wear this with black tights + a high waisted skirt. It looked good but I thought it best to start the life of these pants off with black + black + beige jacket/cardi.

It is a lovely 27 degree sunny day. And i am liking it because I know this will be one of (if not the last) the last sunny days this season. Its making me feel very nostalgic. This is what I am thinking;
Dolly fiction novels
summer high school days mid 90's
old school bh90210 (why does everything remind me of this? lol)
summer camping echuca, ski boats, grog, camp fires
me and nat version 1.0, hanging out in our southern 80 tee-shirts, bad hair, frosted pink lips, going to Brashes ha ha.

in other news;
i am a ranga.
i cannot wait for melroseplace 2.0
i feel verrry transitional.. scary. when i feel like this we move house or i get a new job or something, lol

well.. i'm off to google houses to rent, ha ha (kidding!)

what a nice happy lush day!

happy easter

is it wrong to pose with someone's headstone? not if it features jesus!!

my easter weekend rocked.
thursday night- shop shopp shopppie. Bought a black 3/4 sleeve tee with a silver grey fringed scarf from big w... a really hot white empire line lacey top and a black sleeveless hooded knit vest from crossroad.
good friday- a casual affair. sleeping in. hot cross buns. mum coming over to hang with me while i (we?) cleaned the house. made a cheesecake and some dyed boiled eggs in the evening.
saturday- more shopping. picked me up some new harem pants from crossroad (will wear tomorrow) and a charcoal cable knit short sleeve top to wear over stuff. also bought a new faux d+g beige bag. and some mascara and the like. Then went to work at the roast. was pretty dead. yay.
easter sunday- woke early, hid husbands egg under my jumper ha ha... packed up the esky and went to our easter sunday family picnic. was awesome. not too many came (eg, my mum and 1 of my aunties had to work, my grandfather went AWOL (think he was having a dirty weekend with his girlfriend eww) and one of my sisters and one of my brothers and family i don't really like so I didn't invite. I can do that :-) )but still, got to see my awesome sister + bro that I love and their equally awesome other halves and my four awesome nieces Maddie, Chloe, Jess and Emma.. i then worked at the roast with mummy that evening.. on easter sunday, yuck.

I think its cool that Nat and I organised easter this year.. we stopped doing it for a while because our grandmother mutti passed away on easter sunday about 7 years ago.. but when we were kids we would go every year and there used to be soo many of us that went it was crazy.. our family is still huge and as I am technically a wog (lol) family is really important to me and to my family so we make the effort, but when Mutti died, we did cease a lot of family togetherness.. and I think it is sad. But as Nat and I are married (well I am and she will be soon too) and we will be having kids (s) soonish we want to instill some of the old tradition.
Cape Shanck is a really magical place too.. i love the trees and the pine needles and pine cones and the beach so close by and everything. We even considered getting married there. I love it. I am going to go back one weekend with the kids I think xx
anyway, happy easter all... hope it was a good one.

me and my husband xx look at the autumn sun peaking out from the tall pine trees.. magic xx

ohh.. why was I posing with a jesus headstone? i don't randomly visit graveyards I was visiting my grandma for easter of course :-)

Where's Wally?

I was soo excited on the way to work.. I was going to google *wheres wally* and do a whole "Look what I based my look on today" til i got here, ate a hot cross bun, googled *where's wally*( and realised it was a red striped tee he wore. god damn you wally.

anyway, sorry for the absence. Has been a busy "before easter" week and allll last weekend long I had a severe gum infection that I am only just getting over now. mah. stupid useful gums.

hmm. so glad today is thursday + tomorrow is good friday. am going shopping tonight. hey, i lasted over a week! actually no i didn't ha ha.. see below, new booties. Been looking for a mid calf boot in this colour, flat, for ages. Picked them up for $40 from kmart he he.. bar-to the-gain.



i do love a slouchy boot.

Now. Two Things I do NOT want to hear about EVER AGAIN (otherwise known as things pissing me off)

* the north melbourne football club rubber chicken/frozen chicken sex tape thing. who caaares
* what the bogans are going to spend their stimulus money on. Um perhaps you should save it as giving every one in aus $900 will possibly send the country broke. just an idea. you bogans. lol.

Little Miss Apprehensive... oohh, she fell in love

i have sore gums, i have sore gums. oh please god take the sore gums awaaayyy...
i woke up at 3am. with aching gums and teeth. went and took some nurofen and swigged some vodka to numb the gums. worked a treat. went back to bed and slept in, ha ha.

it's 10:30am now and they are aching again! I hope they stop hurting soon, its getting REAL annoying. :-( Hope the nurofen i took about 30 mins ago kicks in soon.

anywhoo i did ok with no shopping last night. watched a new ep of 90210, ate a liiiitle chocolate.

do you like my dress today? its a little vintage 90's drew barrymore-ish i think. It is actually from Big W last year, about august. I have never worn it out of the house. Its a little too long to wer with leggings and a little too short to wear alone. I have been thinking about having it cut and hemmed into a long top to be honest. but i still need to think about it because i kinda like it today. I have pulled it up and gathered it a little under my belt to make it a little shorter. Only issues with this dress are that it is VERY tummy clingy and makes my boobs look huuuuge.. which may not be a bad thing to be honest...

Looking forward to getting thru the day
my teeth/gum pain subsiding.. like RIGHT NOW
not killing any annoying fellow workers
going home, having dinner + going to bed

I am kinda tired but managed to make my way to work solo on the bus. Am wearing my fave wet look leggings again (third time in 2 wks) so I slipped all over the bus seats as he went around corners, ha ha.

am going to catch up with stiff jacky saturday- am very excited. then work @ the roast.
