Home and hosed

Well I thought I was tired before holidays!! Action packed 5 days. We visited Dreamworld yet again and I will never ever go on the Wipeout ever ever in my life again. I don't care that 11 and 12 years olds can review this ride and say that they enjoyed it. Jen had the kids at WiggleWorld, Rob didn't get on it so basically I was just keeping Mark company. Within 10 seconds I was telling him how much I 'hated' him. I had my legs spread as wide as could be, my right leg jammed under Marks and I couldn't stop its nervous quivering. I was totally terrified. A few swear words could be heard amidst the apologies I was throwing to the teenage boys sitting next to me!! I kept my eyes shut the whole ride and went off to the quite tame by comparison, Cyclone Roller Coaster to recover!!
Too much food, alcohol, late nights, food, early mornings, food. I came back a big rolly polly. First stop, The Gym. Treadmill creaked and groaned as my jelly belly tossed up and down. Sight not to behold.

We also brought back our new addition to our household, Ockie the Abyssinian. The flight was a bit turbulent and the landing was all over the show so she was very relieved to see our 2 friendly faces looking in her cage saying her name. She is 11 years old and has settled in quite nicely. She is a bit spooked by the great outdoors. The neighbourhood cats have been over to check her out and the first train that went past scared her a little. But she has done a bit of exploring and spent the majority of the weekend out in the backyard.
My casual position finished up last Friday but they have asked me in on Tuesday - how does that work??!! Anyway job hunting is now on my agenda, probably gonna be a bit difficult before Xmas but take it as it comes. I applied for a dream job on Thursday but so far no response. I will just enjoy some time off before life becomes busy again.
Had lovely Lime Leaf Thai dinner last night, curry and red wine, followed by dvd's and red wine on the white wine couch (so called cos it is a cream couch!!) - very enjoyable
Lifes great
Now wheres the position vacant ads
