well if you keep losing at the rate you are going Em, pete is going to be giving you a bucket load of money very soon! Well done! And congrats on your marks as well. You are a star!

Thanks lovely people!!

Marcadav - I hear you on that, if it was down to me, I'd be buying my new wardrobe at the goodwill store, student single-mothers do not tend to have much money left over at the end of the week!

EllieG (or W now ) - I haven't any specific pieces in mind, just buying clothes that I like instead of based on whether they cover me up sufficiently is going to be pretty amazing. My mum actually bought me a gorgeous, filmy bright red dress yesterday, the kind you wear over leggings and a long-sleeved sheath top. It was in a size 'Medium' at a regular person's shop!! That just blew me away!

Nothing much going on here. I'm just awake from night-duty and feeling zombie-like as usual. I'm going to be increasing my hours soon and doing a few extra shifts. My uni commitments are less now and I really need the money, much as I hate the night-shifts, they are good money. Still, only 7 months to go till I start my full-time day job and then night-shift will be over, at least for a while.

Pete has taken his kids to Sydney for the week and I miss him terribly! We're not used to being apart for more than a couple of days and it's not fun!

Ooh... speaking of going away, we're going to Malaysia in January!! 2 weeks in Kuala Lumpur at The Hilton! I can't wait.

The best Pinot Noir in the world is made on the South Island of New Zealand.

That is all.

I am such a cheap date these days. I had a glass of Pinot and I was stonkered by the time I was half way through it! So much for my big boozy night. One medium glass of wine followed by a gallon of water. What a party animal!

Weigh in day tomorrow. I imagine my weight loss will have slowed down somewhat, it can't keep going like this! I got some gorgeous new clothes this week. My lovely mum was in town and she was so happy with my weight-loss that she insisted on taking me shopping. I got 2 new dresses, a pair of black pants, an above-the-knee (just) pencil skirt, a black blouse (those last two are for my interview on the 4th, more about that later), some long-sleeved cotton tees and some funky opaque black stockings, one pair with gold dots up the side! Aussie size 12 (US 8) for the lot!
I needed some new stuff actually as I just had to throw a bunch of stuff out for being too big.

Ok, I have been short-listed for the theatre grad program at my hospital, as I mentioned before I have an interview on the 4th August. Offers go out on the 23rd, so it's going to be a nervous 3 weeks in between! I've applied to the private hospital that I talked about earlier too, but I only sent that on Wednesday, so I haven't heard back yet.

I also got approved to increase my contract to 20 hours a week starting the end of next month. I'm pleased and kinda not, night shifts suck balls but I do need the money.

What else..... Oh yeah, Pete's still away. I miss him, my bed is very empty. I don't get to see him till Tuesday. I'd be bloody hopeless if either of us worked away! Minxxa, I don't know how you do it honey!

Well, that's it. I'm caught up, have a lovely Friday.
