Well just about to pull the computer into tiny pieces and move to my new place. Sitting on a box and my son just busted me doing a blog when we are meant to be packing. LOL. Have my family coming over tomorrow too to give a hand but would be too embarrassed for them to help me in this state so need to be up doing the cleaning tonight. The dust under everything is crazy. Looks like I never clean though the dusting is quite close to the truth. Must get back to it but the computer is not going to be on til next week. At least I can't get distracted cause there is so much to do and the removalists will be here Tuesday so will take me this whole week to get settled especially working at the same time. Shall be a busy weekend. Hope to catch you all next weekend though I might not be able to resist when it is reconnected Wednesday. LOL

blog that is. LOL Nothing new here just working and dropping both boys off to work all over this beautiful city. Boy do I know Perth now. I apologise already for the green house omissions. Nik does get his own way home though the last 2 days he has walked rather then work out the buses and trains. He is going to be running marathons next. Poor little fellow is crashing so early. Oh well he is thinking of the pay check.

Tomorrow I have an appointment after work to see homeswest so will be good to get this over and know once and for all if we got the unit. I have packed almost everything but the bare essentials so I hope so. Was looking forward to have some peaches for desert tonight but guess what I packed. The can opener of course so lovely cold can and mouth still watering for it. Poo!

Now the pictures are back up this is the picture that I found on the weekend in a frame with a picture of me and my brother on top of it. I am dieing to find out who they are. Curiosity killed the cat I know.

As you all know I am packing. I was just taking some framed photos from the top of the wardrobe and the frame smashed. When my pop died I was sent all the old photos that he had of me. The photo that broke was one of me and my brother taken at least 30 years ago but when I pulled the frame apart that photo had been placed on top of one much older. Could it be my nan and pop? Will take it to my dad's before christmas to find out. Wow at least that made my cleaning more fun. Will see if I can put the 2 photos on here. No for some reason it keeps saying invalid file so no luck there. Would have liked to have shown you all the old photo.

Everyone on here is reminding me how close christmas is away and I am just not ready for it. Doesn't the last term seem to fly past? I have to organise some holidays with my care families as they never seem to want to let me have holidays. LOL I will be going to the resort in Mandurah again for Christmas day as that is James holiday place and my kids are always at there dads.

Got some bad news about my dad the other day and that is they found some cancer in his bowel and he has to start Chemo straight away so we don't know how he will be for Christmas but I will definately be spending some time at my parents on the holidays too though it shall be a quiet one this year I guess. My brother is working through Christmas too so he won't be here.

Nik really enjoys his new job. Although it is hard work he has got up every day without drama and doesn't look like quitting. I have seen his confidence grow this week. I am happy to actually see him happy as this was not the case before.

I am just going to be packing this weekend. The house has been allocated to me so just have to wait for the phone call that it is ready. Telstra said that not all houses have ADSL connection so hope that I can still have my broadband when I move. Won't know that til I know the new phone number so here is crossing fingers.

Well I came home early today and I'm doing the stuff that I just hate but it will make it easier in the long run. I have scrubbed the top of fridge, pantry and cupboards and got out stuff that don't get used in the kitchen. OMG the mess under the fridge and pantry. That is what you get when you don't do it often enough. I will get there and it will be nice to have a change.

Nik started working on Monday. He got a roof tiling job in the city, so we get up a little earlier to drop him off first, then Kieron and then I go to work, though I usually stop at Maccas for a coffee still. He seems to be really enjoying it so lets hope he sticks at this now. I was so tired last night I was in bed at 8.30 and I grabbed KFC for them on the way home which is not good. I can't wait til Kiza gets his licence, but still have til January til test and if he passes we still have a wait. He can't wait either then maybe they won't have such a grumpy tired mum at times.

Anyway I logged on and the site looks different. Admin functions. WT? Do you all think I would be of some use here? What does it all mean? Anyway I am sure that all will be revealed.

Well I went in to homeswest Friday and they gave me my new address. I haven't got the keys for another week at least as they are putting on security screens and doing a little work on it. Now I still have to work out all my income details and give to them as me and my son are working but whatever the outcome I will be out of here. My rent will go up a bit but it is better then where I am believe me. These are being bulldozed down so I get all the bond back no matter what and they are paying my moving expenses so this is a great bonus. I am so happy as living in slum conditions really gets you down. I went over to a friends for dinner last night and I said now I am moving I will invite them over one day. I haven't had people over here for a long time.

So this weekend I have done quite a bit of packing. It is good to go through. It is amazing what you accumulate over 4 years. I am finding stuff I forgot I had and have filled the bin. I should be able to take heaps to the salvos too. Good I work with kids as all the books and videos and craft stuff I have found that we can use! I just found 2 brand new packs of christmas cards in a draw. Just in time. May save me some money this cleaning up. The amount of things that you find as you have gone out to buy another one as you can't find the last on. Heaps of stationary and band-aids etc. Anyway the boys are excited. They have packed there rooms up already.

Just wanted to say I could be moving soon. This is such exciting news to me. I got a call from homeswest today and have to go in tomorrow with income details etc. but all looks promising. It has been horrible on this street lately so I really need this move. I have tried to write about my weekend the other night but lost it all as we went to Murray Lakes canoeing and had a good time.

The only drama has been with my son staying out and not going to his course on Monday and coming home stoned so my last blog was not as happy. The stress of all this is enough to make me despair sometimes. He says I have him on a leash now. What does he truelly want. Me not to care if he is lying in a ditch dieing somewhere. I don't get the party attitude. I see all these drunks around here and I don't understand this lifestyle and I would hate for my son to go there but he doesn't want to listen to my beliefs about dope and alcohol. I don't have the same view of them. Anyway will blog later if my move is going ahead. It is the best news I have had in a long time.

I just want to sit down for a while as I have had a big day washing the car inside and out and the dog, then walking him after a big night out. We were going to go to the movies last night but at the last minute I really thought that I did not want to spend another night inactive so we went to Freo for a walk and stopped off at a couple of pubs. I only had 2 wines but we watched a good band called Gravity and stayed out. Didn't get home til 2.30 in the morning and now I have a pounding headache. For some reason, and this has happened before we had a girl come up to say that we look so cute together. It makes me feel like they think how cute mum and dad are out. Sometimes the young guys come up and hi-5 us. Oh well, it's gotta happen soon that we get old. Not like we are granny and grandad but I guess that isn't far off. The place was so friendly though. It was a good atmosphere in Freo compared to Northbridge it is a different crowd.

I have to pick the kids up soon too. Kiza has the day off tomorrow to get his car over the pits so I am dropping him off at my mums tonight. Must take a panadol now and hit the road. Hope all having a great weekend. Hope to visit again soon to check up on everyone.

Well I was rudely awaken at 5am this morning by someone knocking on my door. I won't mention what race as then I may be accused of being racial but this isn't the first time by different people I might add all with some sob story and if you help they come back and back. This time she wanted a jump start. I said I need to go to work early, she is I know BUT then keeps rambling about 3 month baby etc. How can I go down in nighty, I am by myself, although 16 year old asleep the answer was just no I can't help you. The only reason I looked out the window is my dog was going off his head and when I heard the tap I thought of my 15 year old who is staying over his friends house just in case he needed to come home for some reason though that would be unlikely. Then of cause I can't get back to sleep so put some washing on. It is so early even the minti watchlist has not come in my inbox to read so came on anyway. So annoying but now can go have a shower when I hear my alarm. Hope everyone else starts there day a bit nicer then I did. Hope my car goes this morning now and they don't do nothing to it.
