Picked up a great bargain

Looks like i`m on a roll, two posts in a week.....

I must be bored...lol

Last week I picked myself up a great bargain...

I`m forever looking for just that right thing to go into my garden...

I have so many statues and I wanted something totally out of the ordinary...

But I didn`t want to pay a fortune for it....

I was at the right place at the right time by the looks of things...

Now the original price was $49.99...

Way too much for this mother who tries to stick to a budget....

I nearly fell over backwards when I saw how much it had been reduced too...

$5...

Yep...

Couldn`t get it into my trolley quick enough....lol

It now sits proudly above my fish pond....

The week that was

I thought it was about time for a change on here...

Brighten it up a bit....

I`ve still got a bit to do but I think it`s starting to take shape...

Now for the week that was....

Son , youngest one learnt why we his parents say not to play with fire...

Burnt himself quite severly in places you don`t even want to go...

We are on daily dressing changes at the doctors and all I can say is he is one lucky boy.....

Scared the absolute crap out of him not to mention myself and husband....

We have had some rather unusual weather also....

One minute rain, the next sun is out...

Any wonder the other two kids have come down with a severe cold...

All the kids have been off school this week so basically I haven`t had much time to

myself....

I`m counting down the weeks until hubby , myself and youngest son can get away on a decent holiday....

It seems like forever that we have been anywhere....

Hubby`s health puts a stop to a lot of things we can do but i`m adamant about this holiday....

My first attempt of creating a video

It`s been a while

Well it has been a while since i`ve been here....

So much has happened and so much is about to happen....

A very busy time over the next few weeks....

Hubby`s daughter is due to be married in less than 10 days...

He can`t stop thinking about it as it`s his first daughter to be tying the knot...

Upsetting for him too...

As he can`t go to the wedding...

It`s being held over on Hamilton Island and due to his poor health flying that far from South Australia just isn`t an option for him....

I have suggested that he write a letter of some description and give it to one of his daughters so it can be read out at the reception....

I know he has been thinking about it so now it`s up to him whether he chooses too or not...

Hubby is to become a grandfather yet again in early December...

This will make grand baby number 7....

Another boy....

So now there will be 4 boys and 3 girls...

The family is certainly extending....

Bloody Telco companies

As if I don`t have enough worries on my plate, now the Telco giant here has given me something else to stress over....

I received my monthly statement for internet service the other day and for the life of me I couldn`t work out why I had been billed for two internet services.

Soon found out that I had been given a new email addy unbeknown to me....I was told when applying for the new contract that I was able to keep my old email as it was with the same company....That`s the first lie....

Then I was offered a 24 month contract (first month free and half price for the entirety of the contract)....That was the second lie.....

Then to be told it was up to me to cancel the original internet service was all too much for this brain to comprehend.....

Shit you would think that naturally the first one would be cancelled if you are applying for a new contract with the same company....Wouldn`t you??????

Now i`m stuck in a contract that I didn`t agree too.....

That`s how they make their money....Bastards.....I only changed the contract to save money, not spend more of it.....

So having done all of this I had to have one deleted, naturally.....Who in their right mind can afford two internet services, which are crap anyway.....

So my Telstra bigblog had to be deleted and a new one born.....

This is my new url for those of you who are interested.....http://cinderella1.bigblog.com.au

Now to see if I can do anything about the mess that has been created through no fault of my own, but the big telco sure does make you feel like you are the one in the wrong....And you`re left to pay the bill.....

How people can dictate

It`s all getting to be rather frustrating with Matt at the moment....Even his doctor is ....You see he is supposed to be going into hospital to have an operation and exploratory surgery to see what`s causing the blockage and bleeding of the bowel....

Letters have been sent off and he is supposedly on the waiting list but as his is rather urgent he has been placed at the top....

Well we have just found out that the clerical staff at the hospital have been on strike....For how long i`m not sure but all letters that have been going into the hospital are conveniently being lost.....Then there are the letters that are supposedly to be coming out of the hospital are not.....

I`m furious, the doctor is furious and the doctors are frustrated because they have spaces vacant for patients to be admitted.....

Don`t they realise they are playing with people`s lives here?????

So more blood was taken and yet more letters (stated emergency) were faxed.....I wonder how long it will take this time.????

The time has come

It`s been a crazy couple of weeks having to deal with teens emotions....

What doesn`t help is the web of lies being created by this child of mine and getting ex out laws involved whom seem to undermine my authority over my own child...Last time I remembered I was the one who gave birth to him and I am his mother , not her.....

I`m getting rather frustrated at this ex out law and yes it`s a female...Isn`t it always.....

What makes it even more frustrating is she is believing every single word coming out of my childs mouth(and this child has had plenty of practice lying over the years and getting away with it)....grrrrr

Then to make matters worse she and my son have basically ganged up and blamed my youngest son (half brother) to the child involved, he gets everything and is treated better and blah blah blah....

Little does the out law know of how much debt we went into because he arrived at our home with the clothes on his back.....Nothing else....We basically had to start from scratch and in the year and a half that we have had him here he has a damn sight more than what he has ever had when he was living with his father....

To make matters worse the father has never paid a days maintenance....

So I let rip.....My youngest had sacrificed a hell of a lot to make him feel welcomed into this house....He gave up his room, he goes out of his way to make things right and bends over backwards to do anything for him....And for what??????...To hear that he hates his guts and will never accept that he is a brother......

Well personally I have had enough of this treatment towards my youngest especially by an ex out law who has nothing to do with my child, and by a spoilt brat who thinks he should have everything handed to him on a silver platter.....

The sun shines out of the other ones ass in her eyes and now she has to face reality that her golden grandson isn`t that golden.....She needs to keep her nose out of my family affairs and I will raise MY children how I see fit.....

And as for my son who has created this problem, well he has a rude awakening coming to him....For the past year and a half he has treated this house and his family with total disrespect......Well now he is about to see the not so tolerant mother whom he has been pushing around....

He now knows that there is no where else for him to fall back on when it comes to living arrangements...His father doesn`t want him living with him and there is no way in hell that his grandmother will ever have him....

This is one thing his father and I are in agreeance with.....

So let the games begin.....
