They say things happen in threes..............

...well that's certainly how it's been this week!. Joe's currently working 12 hrs x 6 days a week on a maintenance shut at Huntly power station where he works.
1) Half way through all was going extremely well..until this week where everything started to go tits up and rapidly started going backwards, Joe was not a happy bunny.
2) Then we get a call from Air New Zealand telling us that our flights all booked to the UK next year have to be changed, we were meant to be flying via Hong Kong to London, but Air NZ won't be doing those flight as of March next year, we would have had to changed planes and done the 2nd half with Cathay Pacific! We didn't want the change so we're now going via LA, same days etc just different times.
3) Yesterday I was all set to head into town and meet up with Sue for Frock up Friday and couldn't find my purse (wallet to those of you who don't talk proper!) I'd left it the day before in Save Marts changing room and of course no-one had handed it had they! Grrr! My own stupid fault however and good ole Sue managed to talk me down after getting myself extremely wound up and angry with myself. Shit you'd be mad if you were all dressed up with no place to go! :D  Cancelled cards, 3 of them @ $15 each to replace! Was able to get cash out at the bank with photo ID and the day out was back on! Had to also get a replacement driver licence at a further cost of $35......it was a very expensive mistake to make!

Ah well the day was glorious and I have to say we looked rather scrumptious posing in Sue's garden after getting in a couple of hours shopping. 

Entire outfit..op shopped!

Sue is posing with her dog shaped lamp!

I have to say that only having cash to play with was rather good for me as I was very restrained! Perhaps I should do that all the time!! haha

Look Smart

5 bangles for $1 (one broke!)

Habitat for Humanity Mags 50c each, shoes $8, quilters hoop $5

A new shop has opened at the Base shopping centre, selling brand named make-up cheap, so we had a look in there and I got a couple of lippys, mascara & eyeliner

At the dreaded Save Mart (no sign of purse in car park )

Apron $2.99, bracelets 99c & $1.99

...and finally to the person who found my purse

 and decided to keep it rather than do the right thing and hand it in........

See ya next time....

Yup!

Nuff said!

A**holes on the net - a bit of a rant! Come back Frugal Queen!

I like blogging, I ramble on a bit I know and there's no set pattern but I've had 1000's of visitors and I have over 80 followers to my humble little blog. It's nice to know that what I blather on about some people actually like! For that I am very, very grateful. I am also grateful for every one who has ever left a comment, comments are always welcome and are always friendly and encouraging. So all in all my blogging experience has been positive.

There are blogs that I like follow and I try to read them regularly. It's always nice to read what other people are getting up to. Some of those blogs reflect our own lifestyle, some are craft blogs, and some inspiring. Whatever their content they are an interesting insight into other peoples lives, which they very kindly share on the internet with anyone who wants to read.

Today I am saddened to learn that one very inspiring lady, Frugal Queen has felt the need to delete her blog because of some very hurtful comments. So hurtful that she has withdrawn from the blogging world. Not only am I saddened by this but I'm bloody angry about it too. What gives people the right to be such effing arseholes to behave in such a way.
Her friend over at My Beautiful Life has blogged about it today, leave a comment if you feel like I do, and send some support to Frugal Queen.

Rhonda over at Down to Earth has had the same problem recently and has felt the need to vent.

If people don't like what they read it's pretty damned easy to delete the page, just move the cursor to the little cross at the top right of the page, click and it's gone! Once they have done that they perhaps should go get a life!

Arseholes!

Rant over! As you were! :-D
