Karen's Journey

Hi ya

Another great day at work - not to hectic but busy enough to make the day go fast enough. Once gettng home, I realised that I needed to take some books back to the library so suggested to Steph that once he had a shower, that we shoot up to Upper Hutt, drop the books off, pop into the Warehouse and then grab some takeaways for tea before he had to go out... So we did that and got some great bargins from the Warehouse - 2 flannel work shirts for Steph, 2 sweatshirts for me (nice baggy ones for during the winter), 1 nice work top for me, 2 soft cup bras and 2 books for baby - all for $65! So definitely got some bargins there!

We had been talking about baby stuff at work and one of the ladies suggested that I start reading stories to baby because of course she can hear me now so am going to start reading her stories whenever I can. I will also track down a couple of nice CD's so we can play them to her :)

Got another fairly busy weekend organised this weekend... Saturday is of course the usual housework, groceries and washing as well as going to the DVS Store in Ngaraunga Gorge to purchase a couple of the Econ-heat panel heaters - one for the hallway and one for the babys room (they are so much cheaper to run that the oil fin ones that we have been using down that end of the house), we will also stop at Bunnings and purchase some power points for when my nephew comes and does the work for us. Will also grab a 3 in 1 lighting unit for the bathroom whilst at Bunnings... then home for a quiet evening I think.

Sunday - there will be some baking done in the morning as I have Jo, Janine, Helena, Rachel and maybe another friend Rose popping in for a cuppa and some of my homemade baking in the afternoon. It will be great seeing them all and catching up :) Rachel is also bringing a highchair that we are buying off her so thats another item crossed off our list :)

Anyway, time to get moving so will catch ya all later
