All Change On The Western Front.......

Yes, we've changed the blog colours...

Well, I don't think that I could catch up with the blog in 1 go - you'd be snoring halfway through - but here's some snippets. Starting with Happy New Year everyone - because I think that I forgot to say it in the other posts.....(more on that later). Well, I managed to catch up with all of the (ex) store staff through January, with the exception of Judith, who's down in Ashburton - Rebecca & I were in the shop until last 1am this morning packing all of the orders coming in on Trade-Me.....We've been loading TM like mad tonight and the shop is definately looking worse for wear. Christine started her new job on Tuesday at Unichem across the road from the shop - so if you're in town - you'll have to go in and see her.....Priscilla & Josie have had to go back to work this week ready for the schools going back - Priscailla in student support at Putaruru College and Jose in the office at KatiKati, so their holidays came to an abrupt end. Rebecca had a challenging holiday - with me & my demands (lol) actually despite the size difference (she's an 8 and I'm a size 58) we have the same habits ( like working until the early hours of the morning), and sadly she lost her mother in law too during January and we're slowly getting back into the swing of things. There's probably about 4 weeks work left at the shop, then the next round of surgeries start for me. I joined sureslim and I've lost 7kgs in 17 days without having any limbs surgically removed...After my little episodes in November, I've lost alot of memory - but the girls don't seem to have noticed anything different..So if it isn't written down - it's lost into the abyss. Wilma is missing us all and has become a serial stalker - only joking [but she is missing us - HONEST !

Well now that we have things sorted, you should be able to post comments - we'd love to get this blog interactive.

And

Last snippet -

I've got some new designs on the boil - and watch out for some news about the old designs too....

Okay okay I know - don't shout!!

Please don't think that I've been slacking - we held all of the blooger details on Cills computer because I was away in hospital, and when the old blogger system switched to the new one we couldn't access them because Cill was away on holiday....SOOOORRRYYYYY. I promise that everything will be up to date this week and we'll be back on track...

The Morning After The WEEK Before

SESKING A RESCUE ANGEL........
Pure exhaustion I suppose is how you'd word it..Rebecca & I have been in this week as you well know, and Zeetra finally did turn up to the shop [after the comment on the last blog] on Thursday and picked up heaps of chipboard sheets that we had - only to forget them [she's excused beacuse she had the kids with her...] SOoooooooo - she came back to pick them up yesterday - BIG MISTAKE - poor Zeetra - who brought us her usual fare of Arnotts Mint Slice Balls (YUM) then got landed with many tasks including packing bags for customers and peeling adhesive sign writing from the shop window (mine & Rebeccas fingers are still dead so lord knows about Zeetras sore fingers) THEN becuase of Rebecca's waywayway bad asthma, Zeetra and myself set about cleaning off the sticky with paint stripper and meths. Of course being the dodgy gal our Z is, we had to keep an eye on her that she wasn't drinking the Meths...LOL - only joking (or are we?) Becks and I had to shoot over to Rotorua after we closed and then get back to the shop for the last of the G & T to be sent - well after 9. Next week sees us supposedly joining Christine & Jenny on holiday at Shelly Beach - judging by the weather - and the fact that my legs have packed in again - decisions decisions....................


THANK YOU ZEETRA

New Objects Of Desire.....

Well - there's a new thing to keep me going this week!
Fickle, I know because Daniel Craig didn't seem to last long but Jude Law was definately the best part of a mediocre movie[The Holiday].....Anyway..Christines away at the moment with the family including Jenny and in fear of being washed away when the rain hits the Corromandel - and if you know anyone at Cooks Beach camping ground, tell them to beware before next week when they move onto Shelley Beach......Priscilla was in the shop today looking fine & relaxed which ws more than we can say about me & Rebecca - we haven't managed lunch for the past 2 days as we've been soooooooooooooooooooooo busy (it doesn't seem to have any effect on me though!) Stock at the shop is RAPIDLY dwindling - maybe I should bring some of my home STUFF in - LOL....Don't foreget to drop in and see us if you're passing through. Where are you Zeetra?????

OOOPS - Wilma has been in Middlemore again after shopping in Auckland with her sister bringing on an angina attack (probably when she opened her purse...)
