Tahlia's Graduation Formal

It is Tahlia's big night tonight! Bec unfortunately is in Tassie so being the proud aunty i am got her ready. It was all very exciting- hair, makeup and best of all the dress. She looked lovely. Oh did I mention my dress making ability!
Toni came over because she just brought a new car, so off we went in style. Much to Tahlias disgust we dragged her down to the foreshore before dropping her off for some pics, poor girl she was embarrassed as the foreshore is always packed with picnicers at that time of night.
Well i told her she must call me when Steve picks her up so i can get all the goss on the night.

The Wet is Here!

The temperature has just dropped about 10' and its about to pelt down.

The first pic i just took from my balcony at home.

The second pic i took a while ago at work.

The wet season is finally here. We have had a few good storms already with lots of thunder and lightening. You can almost set your clock to the fact that everyday at 3pm you look out and the storm is blowing over and by 4pm its pouring. Yep just when you finish work and need to get to the car. No umberella can save yo from these big rain drops.

Yay Its Friday

Well il pick up where i left off......

Had a big day in Sydney Tue, my arvo meeting got cancelled so damn it i had to shop all day!!! I started at Hourbourside in Darling Harbour then walked into the city. OMG shops, people, cars ahhhh it took me half hour to get my bearings and find my way back to the hotel. Sadly i walked away with a belt that was on sale for $7.95, Starbucks coffee and a piece of caramel cheesecake.

Wednesday was really full on. The Maritime Union Negotiations with our company. It consisted of myself and our company consultant representing Patrick against 3 MUA delegates (stevedores from our site) and the National MUA Delegate. Wasnt as heated as when they had the first discussions in Darwin but it was still a bit daunting at the start.

It was all over late arvo and then i headed to the airport. I had 3hrs before i flew home so our consultant Mick, who drove me to the airport got me into the Qantas Club. Saw no-one famous but it was nice all the same to relax and take advantage of everything free! Would have been more fun if i was not by myself.

Iv also taken on a new position in the company of Employee Relations Manager, it started effective of yesterday, funny though im still yet to sign the letter of offer, hmmm everything happens Darwin time. All is negotiated including my pay rise its just formalities now. It will be a challenging role esspecially dealing with the wharfies but i think il enjoy it.

Well today we got the news that the finance for the townhouse that Rob and I applyed for came through today. Settlement is on 21st November.

Its 2 story, living room and kitchen upstairs, 2 bedrooms and bathroom downstairs. Courtyard off the main bedroom and courtyard out the back-with spa, balcony off the lounge room also. Its rented out till March 08 then we will move in for a couple of years then rent it out again- well thats the plan anyway! Our own little love nest!!!

Its all very exciting.
