Depressed today... I was yesterday too.
Missing being on blogger some days because I really love meeting new people but then I don't want some to be able to contact me either... caught in a nasty circle there... can't win aye.
Not liking my job!!!! Hating the fact that I am going to have to wear a uniform soon with this new bloody company. I hate uniforms as they are never comfortable and they don't show your personality and it feels like a meat factory. I sit in an office by myself anyway and don't usually see many parents so what is the bloody point.
Skirt and a shirt... blue and white OMG how boring is that and they look so starchy and OMG I am going to hate it. I DONT wear buttons!!! I hate shirts with buttons!!! and now I am going to have to wear this and feel even more depressed... I would rather wear what the girls wear looking after the kids than wear a fucken suit!!! I know bitching and moaning isn't going to help but it just FUCKS ME OFF that people take away individuality and think that everyone should be wearing the same fucken thing OMG it rubs me the wrong way.
Why am I not happy?
I don't know myself?
Missing my life from last year where I could write on my blog and meet people!! Missing the freedom... missing the comments

Hey Mandy. Sounds like things are gettiong on top of you. Why don;t you keep 2 blogs, this one private where only invited people can read & another more generic one in Blogger to keep on meeting new people etc.
As for the uniform, yup they suck BUT you can always ACCESSORIZE - show your personality with jewellery & painted nails etc
Hope today sees you feeling better :-)

Ok, from now on, I'm gunna leave 20 comments a day, how's that? Bugger on the uniform, I friggin well hate em too.... buttons... oh my god I hate them too.... they usually gap in all the wrong places, and cos you feel uncomfortable and self conscience in them, they are even worse to wear! Can't you make up some sort of excuse why you have to wear a t-shirty type of top instead? It could be in white, just not with buttons???? Point out to the bosses that you are not in contact with the clients, so why does it matter so much? Hey, you could be allergic to that particular material ! I bet it's polyester, it is awful, doesn't breathe and is sticky to wear.

So, you are a private blog now cos of how many people? Can't you go public again, and keep other "comments" that you need to get off your chest for your "private" blog? It's just a thought.

I wonder what would happen if you started a blog again. Surely Kris woldn't have the nerve to do what she did before.
You sound quite down. Hang in there witht he job but maybe start looking. I hate uniforms too and had to wear oen in my last job, being bigger I didn't get the options the others did and just hated it!

oh Mandy, so sorry to hear that your not feeling too great at the moment. Chris might not be close enough to take you out for a laugh and a chat, but I certainly am. (if you feel like company I'm only a short drive away. Now that the new motorway is done through Mercer it only takes me 50 mins to get down to Hamilton. Have car, will travel :-)

PS: I would be feeling the same about the whole uniform issue. I would absolutely hate it. I have only had to wear one in one job and don't think I would handle it well again at all. Lynise

Hey Mandy, sorry to hear that you are feeling so down at the moment. And sorry that I'm so slack with my comments!
Maybe since you and Kris have called a truce of sorts you could think about going back to blogger. I don't think you should let her behaviour prevent you from doing things that you want to...
Just my 2 cents...
And BLEGH to the uniform. Tell them to go shove it. Does your friend need someone to help in her shop?? I'm sure you could find another job quite easily, it certainly sounds like you've got a lot of valuable experience that any employer would leap at the chance to have onboard.
Anyway, sending you big hugs today.
CHUBBYMUM Time to "MAKE MYSELF MY HOBBY" - From 2005 to 2008 I lost 42 kgs and things went wrong in my life with my mum and work and went in to major depression. I am trying my hardest to get back in to it and doing it for me. Going to "Make Myself My Hobby".

Clairvoyant
Mar 2, 2007 at 3:47 PM
It was an emotional night...
There was about 60 people there and the things this lady was saying to some of them were amazing and they were empressed and there was so much detail about things. She picked 2 of the girls from my work too and said some things that only they knew and they were two girls that were the most skeptical before we got there and then afterwards they were really quiet and amazed.
I was getting angrier by the end of the night... I just kept thinking come on Dad come on Dad get noticed and talk to me..
The thing is that my Dad was the sort of man that loved talking and loved pleasing everyone and teasing yet she didn't choose me to go up...
At the end there was a free for all and I just sat there too afraid to ask a question and when I thought of a question then someone would get in first.
So at the end of the night I went up to chat to her and I had a tear coming down my face while waiting for another friend to ask her something and she kept looking back to me and then she got to me and gave me a red rose and I said to her I have one question and she said "he said to stop blaming yourself and that you are the only one worrying about breaking a promise he doesn't want me to dwell on it anymore because I didn't break the promise" and that is all she said... she hit it on the nail.. but it felt a little harsh or maybe it was not enough for me... I am still trying to fiqure it out. Maybe it was because she had been reading for 2 hours and she was exhausted. My dad and I were like best friends and I know my Dad would talk and talk and talk to me and hug me and laugh and there wasn't enough emotion or something...
I know you are going to say you got a message and it was one that I wanted to know and I hadn't told anyone except my husband what I was upset about when my dad died... (and hubby doesn't believe in mediums)... and I should be grateful and what did I expect anyway... I don't know what I expected... maybe for it to be like old times and talk and talk to him and for him to tell me how proud he was or something... and I know I should deal with the fact that she said to stop blaming myself but I am not happy with just that.
I have to save and go and have a reading from her personally and see what happens..
It was an amazing night and she helped so many people come to terms with things and I can imagine there were about 20 or so people that slept better last night than they have ever done, but I think I felt like I was left hanging and getting to sleep last night wasn't good. My eyes were all puffy this morning.
Feeling quite emotional at the moment.. going now
Mandy
OMG I forgot... we got there at 6.45 and I looked at my watch and said to Debbie... OMG we have 15 minutes till it starts and she said No we don't I said it is only 6.45 and she said no it is 7 and then looked at my watch and it had stopped.... literally stopped and I told the girls while we were there that I found it quite strange.. then afterwards we went to take the other girls home before Debbie and I went to pick up my mum and my watch had started again and had worked out it had been 20 minutes ago that it had started and that was the exact time that we had left the building... now I know you are all thinking bullshit but OMG it freaked me out... it was like Dad was saying... hun I was there... just couldn't get my chance to talk... ya know? I don't know maybe I am interpretting things? hmmm not sure.

Man I am such a sceptic.... I went to a clairvoyant about 10 years ago, she predictred a whole shit load of things.... NONE of which came true.... and she told me all about my first brother's death.... all wrong...... so I'm still a sceptic. If only I could believe in all that stuff, afterlife and such like, but I'm just not able to. Far out Mandy, I'm sending you this comment, and you just left one on my blog at the same time...... hmmmmmmmmmm

I'm not a sceptic but I sort of like some proof if that makes sense. My daughter and I went to Colin Fryer a couple of years ago - and at one stage I thought he had my mum - then I thought no it's not. (Scottish accent, my name yea I know quite common but also the name she nearly called me etc) My daughter clicked too and started nudging me to say, also had a sister in law in the audience and she thought this is for Anne. Trouble is I sat there and didn't say anything and the people that spoke up - the message wasn't for them. So... I will never know.
Got to say too I have a bit of trouble finding you on this Vox thing - or is it just me???

Hon, you take from the night what you want. If you feel it's true, then it is.I had a few odd things happen on the night my Granddad died, one thing happened at the exact time that he died.. it would be easy to mark it down to co-incidence, but I choose to believe that it was more than that, and because I believe it, it means something to me.One thing I am sure of.. your Dad... he'd be so incredibly proud of you. Not just for all your hard work with losing weight, but the way you just keep on at it, for your creativity, and for the fact you are such a great Mum. xx

T.O.M
Mar 1, 2007 at 5:20 PM
It is my T.O.M ho hum and felt quie blah this morning.
I was going to go for a walk then it started raining and thought maybe I would go to the gym but then felt like NOOOOOOO I don't want to so I didn't. I have been doing so much better this year since I have been keeping to 3 to 4 days a week and I have done 2 already and have tomorrow's PT and Saturday hubby and I are going to the gym and I am also mowing the lawns
So took the boys to school (with the boy down the road Jack) and got to school and was no longer needed as they all wanted to play with their friends... ho hum love ya mum...
So got in the car and decided that I wanted to visit my friend Tania in her new shop and as usual she got me doing chores GEEESH go for a coffee and a chat and I end up running around town for her. It was alright as I got to see how business was run and had a chat to her about ideas.
I booked an appointment with a Graphic Designer for my business cards and logo and Letterhead and compliment slips today and so by next week things should be all go.
Soooo exciting. So the business cards etc are for my home invitation business at the moment until I see how that goes. I think this is going to work... so if you know of anyone in NZ that wants wedding invites or any type of invites done please send them my way to papayainvites@gmail.com (only using this email for business things please). It was mind boggling coming out of there because there were so many choices and as the guy said...I can always change them later on when I open a shop or whatever.
Hubby went with me and was such a support... we were scared to give the money over for it all he he he but we have to start somewhere aye and if I want this to work then I am going to have to fork out some money.
Going to a clairvoyant tonight with work... there is about 60 people going (only 10 of us from work though) and I can't wait... it is hopefully going to be interesting. I might update when I come back from it to tell you all about it.
Love

Private - Bitch and Moan
Feb 28, 2007 at 11:34 AM
I want to have this seen by everyone but then I feel like I would come across as a moaning bitch again and people don't want to read about ti all the time.
I hate my job!!! I hate the animosity and I hate the fact that Donna is being such a bitch... it is never her fault and she always blames it on someone else.
Yesterday Carrie (one of the teachers) found out her mum had cancer and it is serious and she is going through a lot and asked if she could take today off and Donna told her no she had to get in to work today OMG how compasionate is that!!! What a bitch... I MEAN WHAT A FUCKEN BITCH it is a hard thing hearing that one of your parents could be dying and you want to be with them and one FUCKEN day wouldn't have harmed anything she just needed to get a reliever... but NOOOO she didn't..
I know this doesn't effect me in my job and so why am I getting so upset.. I am getting upset because if something as serious as that is going to be turned down imagine what else... I mean there is not bloody compassion.
So Carrie went in this morning and resigned OMG resigned GOOD ON HER!!! But you know nothing will be done... Donna won't get repremanded or anything because Vanessa and her a too close.
She is not a good manager and people are complaining left and right and nothing is being done and Auckland just think it is the staff ganging up on Donna that is the problem and that isn't the case.. hello they believe one person over lots GEEEE that is logical isn't it.
So it has made me even more determined to get this business up and running.
I made an appointment with a Graphic Designer to get my logo etc designed and for me to go into business. I don't know if being in a shop 24/7 is what I want but I enjoy stationery and if it was my shop I reckon it would be different and the first couple of years are going to be hard but as long as I can pay my wage then hey....
It would be ideal if I could find a shop that I don't have to open on a Saturday or Sunday but that is unrealistic too but I could get staff in aye... I know I could. Wouldn't mind having a business like Create but I wouldn't know where to start.
Jeremy is happier to help me get this business up and running compaired to the other times I have tried so that is a good sign. I think he thinks this is a good idea.
All I need to do now is get my name out there and get some weddings under my belt and I reckon this could happen.
I have Sheree Hanna wedding and I have a bloggers wedding for next year and I have a birthday party for a 10 year old girl and I was told yesterday by Dion's mum that we could probably do Alex's birthday invites too. Also have been asked by Marina if I scanned and did booklets so I said I would give it a go and see how much that would get me... hmmm should be interesting.
If I keep myself organised and keep getting work then why wouldn't it work.
I have to get a bank account for the business now and see how that goes.

Invite pictures
Feb 27, 2007 at 10:44 PM
OK!!!
Just to inform you that photos don't always do them justice and the colours aren't as good on a photo.
But if you want to see the photos go on down the right hand column to Collections and then to Invites...
I hope you enjoy them.
Also remember that there are two photos for some things because there are different things to the package like menu's and reply slips etc
Thanks for reading guys

I just LOVE your invites, you are sooooooooo clever.
I have been away for a week and just caught up on your news (Kris saga) and I have to say I agree with everyone else........stay away for her. She has apologised which is great but you still don't want a relationship with her and I would let her know next time she rings for a 'coffee'.

Hi deary,
wow, the cards are AWESOME, (with a huge capital A) I would imagine that there is certainly a market for them as I havn't seen anything so detailed or exquisite available in the shops.
Hope your not letting the Kris situation do your head in. When I read about her changing what you had written then showing it to the people at the gym in an attempt to make you look bad I couldn't believe a grown adult would behave like that. My opinion is that there is someone seriously screwed up inside a persons mind if they are capable of acting like that. It actually reminds me of Glen Close in the movie fatel attraction where someone can change their personality so dramatically and try to cause you a lot of grief. I can certainly imagine how you would have been feeling like throttling her when you first saw her in the carpark. Then turning up with flowers for the PT is just bizaire. I find her whole behaviour is so odd and doesn't sound like the actions of a stable individual at all. I certainly think your better off without someone like this in your life. I would hate to see you go through more drama if she thought she was back in your good books. Anyway, take care. Ciao for now. Lynise

I find her whole behaviour is so odd and doesn't sound like the actions of a stable individual at all. I certainly think your better off without someone like this in your life. I would hate to see you go through more drama if she thought she was back in your good books. Anyway, take care. Ciao for now. Lynise
No post last night & WW UPDATE
Feb 27, 2007 at 9:37 AM
There was no post last night even though I really really wanted to post... didn't have much that I could talk about but felt like it ya know.
I went to bed at 7.30 straight after dinner because I was not feeling well at all... really upset tummy and couldn't keep my eyes open... OMG I just want these last four weeks to be over with and stop feeling so bad.... I can't get rid of this cold grrr but hey it didn't turn in to the the flu so that is a consolation.
Went to the gym at 6 to 7 to do my kickboxing class and while I was doing the class I kept thinking OMG 2 years ago I couldn't do one set without stopping to breath and now I am only stopping because my face is dripping and I need to wipe it. I love the sweating and I know some of you are going to think what a strange person but I could never sweat before... it just wouldn't happen and now it is coming down in droves and I LOVE IT he he he he he.
I am punching harder and sit ups are getting so much easier and even all the upper thigh work is getting better. I feel fantastic.
Now did I tell you that on Friday a teacher (that I haven't officially met just that I see her walking around) came up to me and said "you look absolutly fantastic and you inspired me to go and lose some weight (she is another big lady) and she has now lost 16 kilos WOW was I ever shocked I mean I didn't even know this lady and because of me she has gone and helped herself... isn't that fantastic!!!! she is look really good too.
I know I promised to get some photos up of my invites but because I went to bed so early I didn't get the time but will endeavour to do it tonight after weight watchers and parent/teacher interviews.
I have now got a 10 year old birthday invites and a wedding to do and might have a 21st wooohooooo bloody woohooo it is sooo exciting. Is there anyone out there that just loves stationery as much as I do... I am certainly a psycho when it comes to stationery he he he
I am at work at the moment but don't feel like doing my work but I know I have to... Tania just rang to say there was a big sale on at Scapbook Inn on Sunday so guess where I am going he he he he... wedding invites here I come he he he
Anyway better get back to work.
Love ya all

UPDATE
I stayed the same with my weight this week and to tell you the truth I deserved it!! I haven't been concentrating on my weight loss this week. I have been trying to get my invite business up and running and getting over this cold... so I am not bummed about it.. better than gaining..
This week I am going to concentrate on both the business and the weight loss and it is going to happen.
OMG I have now:
2 weddings, 2 birthdays, and a booklet for a friend for her mother in law (who is dying) and they are doing a booklet of her poetry etc for all the grandchildren... so that will be an interesting project for me.
Feels good to have those appointments and only in a week woohooo. So if anyone knows of anyone else please send them my way.. I am calling my business Papaya Invites and so now I have to organise my business cards, logo and website woohooo.
Good night.

OMG so I just caught up on the last few days blog entries, and I can't believe that Kris cow tried to weezle her way back into your life. Good on you for facing her, at least now you know that there is no way ever that the friendship will be rekindled. Let's hope that Joy has the strength to get Kris's claws out of her too!
Sounds like you are loving doing your invitations. That's great that you've found something you can do that you love, and that you can still keep your main job for now. I just love stationery too... pens, pencils, papers, notebooks, they are all just so deliciously wonderful (now I just sound weird!). I think that's why I'm enjoying scrapbooking so much hehe
*hugs*

Woohoo weekend
Feb 25, 2007 at 9:26 PM
Friday
What a fast day... went to the gym to have my PT with Joy and had a good talk to her about the Kris saga and told her exactly what I thought. Said I wasn't happy that she told Kris to come to my house with morning tea because I really could have done without getting back in to this friendship... told her about the morning and said that I fcelt nothing and that it is only a ploy to get the attention she always craves and she agreed with me.
She said that Kris is txting her so much and she is going to tell her to stop and Kris's trainer was telling her on friday that he is only doing the PT and not the food side anymore and she is always arguing with him about it and he is finding the txting and constantly taking food up to him at the gym getting a bit possessive... I said to Joy that I am tired of being the one that has to solve her problems and that her life has gotten worse since I haven't been around because she isn't getting the attention and I am not solving all her crap..... not wanting to do that anymore.. not going to do that anymore... not interested!!! Said to Joy that if she knows what is good for her she needs to stop the txting or she will be sorry.
So after that I went home got showered and met the school mums (three of them) at our coffee shop down the road... woohooo I feel so alive when I meet these ladies and they are all fab looking but don’t make me feel like I am any different from them. We talk about so many things other than kids and weight loss and it feels like back at school again ya know.
Friday night I went over to Debbie’s to colour her hair... mind you it didn’t look like there was a difference because she just did it a similar colour to what she had but tried to make it one colour instead all the different highlights she had.
Debbie is boarding with a couple (the lady works with us) and so they went and got some takeaway and came to our place as they had never seen our place and wanted to have a squiz... so we ended up playing rapidough such a cool cool cool game... it is a mix between pictionary and play dough... you use play dough instead of the drawing and you lose a little bit of dough if you lose and the one with their dough at the end wins. You play in teams.
We drank wine and laughed and had so much fun and are planning to get together for a BBQ next Sunday woohooo.
Saturday
Got up early and made a list for our shopping then went to The Warehouse to look at Vacuum cleaners and other stuff.... I got some more T-Shirts for the gym size 2xl woohoooooo as I started with the same T-Shirt of 5xl and now the 3xl’s are too big he he he makes me feel really skinny now he he he.
Went out and got some more paper too as I made hubby’s birthday invites and they turned out sooo cool... I just loved them. Tomorrow night I will take some photos and put them online...
I have a 10 year olds birthday party invites to do as well... and the lady that Debbie lives with is getting married and wants me to do some wedding invites samples for her too for 50 people woohooo bloody woohooo...it is taking off.
Did our grocery shopping then came home and I started on those invites and didn’t want to stop until they were finished.
Sunday
Woke up early went to The Mad Butcher to get meat for the BBQ (with the girls that I have morning tea with on a Friday and their hubby’s and kids). There were 6 adults, 7 kids and my mum.... and it was a fantastic day and everyone brought something for the BBQ. The kids played on the slip and slide and blow up pool and playground and in the playroom so nicely and we didn’t have to tell anyone off and they ate well and played from 10.30 till 4pm.... it was Devine and the company was relaxing and no mind games.
The best part was I wore a singlet... I didn’t wear a huge t-shirt like I usually would. I didn’t feel like wearing a singlet would be an issue and for once the BBQ wasn’t really really hot like it would have been.
Our boys were asked to go to Laser strike with their little friend down the end of the street because it was his birthday and then they went to McDonalds for dinner so hubby and I had 2 hours to ourselves so it was so damn hot we went upstairs for a spa bath (cold one) and my wonderful wonderful hubby got some foot massage stuff and gave me a foot massage and back massage.... ok you probably didn’t want me to go there he he he but it was so nice to be us again and to just relax.
Chris H..... I sooo realise Kris is a chronic liar and I so agree with you she is trying to make me think that her and Joy are best buddies but Joy said to me Friday that she knows that Kris is a liar and that she isn’t to be trusted and that both her and Daniel know what she is like.... and I am not to fear.. hmmmm why didn’t they believe me in the first place huh!!! Her spots will not change and I haven’t forgiven her... I told her I don’t know what to think and it certainly wasn’t that I had forgiven her because I had said to her that she had caused me crap and she needs to get her facts straight before she goes on a vendetta round on someone... OHHHH and I forgot to say in the middle of my PT with Joy Kris turns up with a bunch of flowers for her... OMG why in front of me ya know... but to make me feel like she has won.. hmmmm just my thought anyway
Felicity – GIRRRRLLLLL you so know what Kris is like because you have met her.. The only reason she left a message on your blog is because no one is commenting on hers and now she is caring enough to write messages to get people to reply on hers... it takes two to have a friendship and if she doesn’t bother to care what is happening to others then others will do the same to her. YOU KNOW what I mean. I certainly don’t want to go there anymore with her and will be keeping my distance... my friend Tania was sooo mad with me that she smacked my arm when she saw me next as she has never liked her.
I thought things we over with... with her but they weren’t and now for me it feels over and I don’t feel anything... I mean... I don’t feel anything and I thought I would and I thought I would have been happy to go back to what it was but NOOOOO I am not.. and I am hoping this will be the last saga with her.
I had a great weekend... it was full and I had fun and it is starting to look like next weekend is the same he he he
Love ya all

I reckon things are over between you and Kris now, your head is in a good space and you are not brooding over the bitch. Just move forward now, and don't give her the time of day, don't waste energy on even thinking about her. The flowers for the PT in front of you was just a mind game, but she didn't win mate, she just made herself look pathetic.... ha ha ha. I am so glad you are having fun with the invitations too, post some pics!

OK - the woman is a nut job!!!! I am glad you met her for coffee & I think you handled it brilliantly. She seems to have alienated or pissed off a whole lot of people & I bet she is feeling very alone - you on the other hand are having a great time, you have lots of friends, great family & social lives. If she has anxiety issues etc then she brought them on herself & quite frankly, she deserves it, it is called kharma!!!!
