As of next Monday I begin working with a lovely group of people who took the time out of their own busy & tiring schedule to consider a position for me.

I shall be working on a 4-day-a-week basis for the next 2 months or so whilst I am trained & get product knowledge behind me. There is a lot of studying & reading for me to do & plenty of research to be done. I am told that my training will be fast-tracked & that they will bombard me with “information overload” for some time until I am capable of being in the store without having assistance.

From then we will discuss whatever days are going to be suitable for us all, which must include a weekend day. There is flexibility in that & when the time draws closer we will come to that decision. As for now, I am just completely over the moon that I have been accepted by these Employers & that yet again I am back in the workforce.

I will be doing exactly what I set out to do. Working in Retail at a Baby Shop. I couldn’t be more delighted in succeeding at the task I had set myself!

Those of you close enough to me will know that I had this venture on my mind before actually finishing up with Family Day Care.

All the pieces are falling into place.

I guess on a personal note, Dean & I will be able to begin saving & planning for our wedding day.

I know that most of you out there are awaiting the news of when it will be. I promise you it will happen before the turn of the decade! Hahaha.

The house is becoming quite comfortable to live in & we are finally starting to put the last things in place. There is no hurry to do the odd jobs around the place that need doing. So when we have spare time on weekends, we will spend a lot of it outdoors.

Recently late one night, very late one night the power went off. It then came back on briefly… only to disappear again. This time for good. The power we lost was to all power points. So we had use of all of our lights. After waiting till 9am to call the Real Estate & being informed that “We have NEVER had this kind of trouble before now… I’ll call the landlord & get back to you”.. I felt a feeling of dread. Knowing that last call out of the Electrician only a mere 3 weeks or so ago ended with us footing the bill as a brand new but out of warranty toaster decided to blow up a power point in the kitchen & scared the living heck out of me!

After waiting patiently (just) till around 11.30am, I decided to call the Real Estate again to find out what the .. was going on with the Electrician. I was quickly informed that he indeed had my number & would call me with a call-out time. Literally as I was hanging up my mobile from that call, it rang. Of course it was the electrician so I could have saved my couple of dollars calling the Real Estate & waiting on hold till someone that new the story told me what was happening. These things always seem to happen like that! LOL

Cutting a long story short, the Electrician came out round 2pm. Found that the problem lay behind the very old fuse in the fuse box & that we were indeed at NO fault to what had happened. Apparently after years & years of wear this happens in the old system. He was a great guy & almost guaranteed that this problem would never happen again for as long as we tenanted here. I suppose that was good to hear! So I will bet our new landlord will be none too happy to receive that bill. Though of course, bad timing got us & i’m sure it would never have happened to the previous tenant if they were still here or to any new tenant that had of won the lease over us! LOL Pessimistic aren’t I?. HAHA.

Enough grumbling & griping for now…

In the next few weeks we are hoping to start organizing our Bathurst pilgrimage. Though there’s a huge gripe to be had there too, let me tell you!!

And as the weather warms up we are hoping to spend many weekends relaxing in the yard or at the footy games & even down by the beach at Brighton-Le-Sands. We have adopted that as our leisure grounds. We have been there several times before moving to spend a day relaxing. We have successfully flown kites, kicked a mini footy & taken many a stroll along the boardwalk there.

It’s a lovely area & I do hope to have many more memories from there.

Ok people, so leave me a message on here please so I know how all of you are doing & don’t be shy to give us a holla.

If you’re around the area, let us know! You’re more than welcome to call in for a barbie or a drink or even just a quick hello-goodbye :o)
