Life is good again :)

I didn't update earlier today because I didn't think I had anything much to tell you all... wow that has changed now lol

Got a phone call from Bill this afternoon to say that his boss has approached him about working Saturday and Sunday (that happened a couple of days ago). Well he came back today with an offer. A $7 an hour payrise for the hours worked on those days!!! He will work two 14hr days on Saturday and Sunday meaning it will give us $444 extra at then end of each week! What this means is that instead of having to work 79hrs each week to earn enough to save $800 a week (which was almost undoable) now he only has to work 66hrs a week and only 2 late nights. HUGE LOAD OFF MY MIND :)) And at the end of the six months he can either go back to his original 45-50hrs and having Saturday/Sunday off or keep doing the same as what he does now. The only bummer is that he will be having Monday/Tuesday off and so less time with Lauren and Malachi who are in school on those days. We will reassess it in February and see how we feel then.

The other news is that we got a letter from the builders today to say that building has started on our house!! Wahoo :) We're going up to Auckland tomorrow so we'll call by and see what they have done.

I have a really busy day tomorrow with two consultations to do in Auckland. One in Howick at 2pm and one in Parnell at 4pm so it will be tight, but keeps me busy.

Really don't know how I've gone weighwise this week. With being on a tight budget for groceries has meant I've had to buy 'cheap' meat which is generally fatty meat. Stayed away from sausages but had to buy mince and meatloaf for a couple of nights. But hopefully to make up for it there has been a couple of nights with no meat. So all in all ... don't know how that will effect the scales. But after last weeks great result I'm not too bothered if it is a gain.

Won't get to update tommorow with being out all day so the next time I update will be on Monday after weigh in.
