Which was a lovely evening at nobbys surf club, and we may have ended up at fannys agian...... yuck, but not for long... but I did see the GYM boy and thats the only time I wanted to stay... bahaha so gald we went home when we did,
Our feet were sooooooooooo sore from boarding and heels, but we had to make a madd dash to Vinny as person whom wont leave me alone was walking around.... it was sooo funny jump in side vinnny and started whispering and turnng ofif the lights n closed the windows waiting till the case was clear...... ahah

This morning I bid farwell to Karlen and had another lunch with Millie before we all part ways and head in a new chapter of the year... Young Town...whooooooooooooooooo another great wkend

On that note: Enjoy the simple things in life as they are normally the most beautiful... such as FRIENDSHIP!!!

Habits and Routines

habit is defined as noun

an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary: the habit of looking both ways before crossing the street.

routine: noun a customary or regular course of procedure

isn't funny how a life is define by the above and no matter wat people say, its true, I didn't think i would get into a routine whilst i am travelling but noooooooooooo........ wasn't I Wrong.

Get up at 5.30 go to the Gym work out shower, work, home watch tv cook dinner settle down for bed time and its goes again,

So tonite I want to change so I decided to have picnic for 1 watching the sunset trying to change my routine...........

but that's when the habits started... have you ever stopped and thought about ur habits, well i have pently of time...

I go to the same shower every night 3rd from the right, and I go to the same toilet 3rd from the right, I use the same locker at the gym every day 2nd from the right, all (involuntary) without even noticing until I must of had been bored in my mind....

It it funny that we don't realise we have them until we take time out and focus on our routines and habits...

I am going to make sure I try something new, weather its from change toilets, showers, and even maybe gaining some balls to say hi to people who make me nervous......... ahah wat a funny thing...

how bout you stop and think about your weird quirky habits and routines and try change the pattern... silly as it sounds but u will notice wat I am talking about

By the way a bad habit is my spelling and correcting spelling errors will not happen all the time, but most of you already know that.....

Darby St

If anyone needs to know which restaurant to dine out in Newcastle, just come and see me... Darby st i am a restaurant  hussy, Only thing I have noticed is they pretty much have all the same menu, just worded differently, and quaitily.

Well only 1 wk  to go in newy town, and what a wk i have ahead, Karlen is coming down to play, then it will be time to pack up old vinny boy and we will be on our way to Young town..
only one week to grow some balls and say hello to this guy from the gym.... bahahah yeah rite.
but u neva know....

There is still so much more to see and doo in newy time, but my gosh time has gone quick.....

FANNYS.................

the word Fanny's says it all...
Last nite was my first nite out in Newcastle town, we were meant to be going on a pub crawl, Luke or organised it was a no show lol Lauren and myself were an 1hr late, I forgot undies, But we made just in time for have dinner Which was lovely at Dirmirtis in Beaumont St. I learned the Greeks don't go out to get drunk... very different to us aussies...

We parted ways after dinner and Lauren and I went to Honeysuckle which was awesome met n chatted to some nice chaps then we moved on the Fanny's.....
OMG well wat can I say, I think i was nervous being in a strange town n a nite club... forgot what they are,
Lauren's shoe broke so we needed repair jobs bouncing a jack of all trades... Off we went into the club till it closed and drank n drank n drank my self silly, for some reason we ended up on a road trip with the taxi driver,
He needed to pick up blood from the hospital and his wild driving made me sick... so here I am spewing out the front of a hospital at  3.30 in da morning, lauren peeing in a rose bush and the security guard as if we are ok, trash bags for real.... That was the last i remember until I woke up this morning......
Messy.....

So I have put some new pictures up, I have now have my palace of travels with my own moat "Special"

3rd time lucky

Been wondering where I have been and doing since Tuesday,
well i have super glued my arse to the toilet bowl......

So now you know what I have mainly been doing I will fill you in on the more exciting parts.
It is now saturday and has taken 3 doctors later to finally listen to my poo issue and given me some antibotics.. Now I will be able to get back to normailtily.

LETS GO BACK TO THURSDAY........rewind...........

Thursday was a beautiful morning with only a 5 hr day, headed into newcastle itself and got a spray tan, now of late when i get a spray it happens to rain, well...... didn't the rain turn it up today.. Got the tan, storm hit and i was like i need to to get out of here but neeed pettie, (playing the fuel game, yet again). As I was driving i saw a air conditioner box sparks up then the power line through sparks n i was OMG. I saw a petrol station up ahead and ducked in their to fill big tez up, then the rain was harder then the hail came down.  So I started to get change under the pertol station into long pants a jumper with a hoddie, so my tan would not get wrecked. Big tez takes a big to fill up, as quick as the petrol was going in, the quicker the water was filling up the petrol station, ran through massive puddles to pay, then pushed through the water as it was still rising.... Down the road their was massive traffice jams. Due to flash flooding the road was flooding n one lane traffic and i was noooo my car (light blub, - I have a 4WD)

Finally got out of newcastle and I was on my way to taree aka landsdowne to see Simmie, Timmy, kye plus baby in the belly. Which was lovely to catchn up and some childhood memories flash back from our summers.
It was only a short visit but it was worth every minute of it, 

Friday morning we went to visit mumma Robyns farm, which i fell in love with, Then i said my farewells n off i went to nelson bay to catch up with Millie, which I have not seen since graduation, and that was lovely, guide tour around the bay. Millie went off to work so I went to shoal bay for a frolic in the bay, which was lovely, tanned the rigged then thought I better head on home to Vinny I knew he was missing me. ;)

Made it home tried to get into the doctors last nite but missed my appt. so i cried all the way home last nite n slept till the sun rose.
Headed off to the doctors at 7.30 to get in by8 o'clock... n yay i finally got the drugs.. Once my washing is done I am heading to Maitland down the midday then heading into Newcastle town.... Now that will be interesting nite as i read somewhere, just don't remember where "Do not take alcohol while being treated with this medicine".... any ideas

Explosion

All I can say that I have had to overcome my POO fright effectively immediately.. as quick as I eat the quicker it comes out..
Which is not good when ur staying in a caravan park. So from Saturday afternoon.....
I had 2 days off work, n all i have done was sleep n u know wat lol.....
The Doctor recons it just viral.... but if i get it again back to the doc's
So yesterday I was starving and craving a sausage sanga so i started cooking in Vinny as it was raining, I soon learnt that the smoke alarm works just great in the van. I was not burning the sausages like I did the cupcakes but is was (sizzling with smoke = smoke alarm raging) The sausage were good at the time.

Today I went back to the doctor as I was no better, But i had to wait 2 n half hours for the doctor. I was not driving back to the van, then having to drive back another 25 odd min to the doctors, So went to the movies, sat in the chair closest to the exit if need be, then went when i got home slept slept n slept more n more,
I dont think I have sleep so much in 2 days, maybe i needed it. Back into to tomz,

Well I am off to eat WHITE BREAD n Vegimite, (not sure how much more i can take of white bread)

6 out of 18 not bad effort

What a rainy day this sunday, So I went to work, to find the system having its moments, but got through the 4 hrs.

What a nite, I am either allergic to prawns or my my tummy bug is back and with force... but took sum drugs to help... had another nanna nap, so good

Wondering what the 6 out of 18 is? AHAHAH.A u will all laugh, but knowing me its not suprising. This is the girl mind u, that when house sitting had 2 fires going in the one kitchen at once...
Well I thought that because its raining, after my nanna nap i'd make some cupcakes in my great oven... all was going well oven heating, mixing the mixture, then prepared the cupcakes, intructions said 10-15mins, keeping an eye on the time, (u always need to break n a new oven and temps right?) well went inside again kinda forgot about the task at hand, I saw this smoke blowing crazy and wow, jump out and they were bout to set alight, charcol...
So I had a bit of miture left and thought i'd give it another go, this time keeping a very watchful eye and managed to get 6 out of 18 cupcakes...

On that note.......

The Chocolate lady and the muscle men

Week 2 is down, only 2.5 wks to go... Which will be action packed, road trip, pub crawl,wine tour, then time to head on to Young town....

Tonite is a nice quite nite in watching the footy, was sitting outside but the rain is heavy and its a bit chilly.
Ron and Rene are the first people to sign my Australia Pillow. They are a lovely couple who have helped me throughout my stay belmont pines. Speaking of belmont pines, I was in one my day dreams, and No not day dreaming about men, (for once), but i was like ooohhhh I mite get a Tattoo of a palm tree (just a smll one) to remind me of my time in new at belmont pines, then my brain ticked over and I realised that pines and palms are very very different trees... ahahaaa

Anywho....

Today started off a bit shakey as My Poo fright has exploded and I have comfort in myself... Also i have learnt that I need to concentrate on the task at hand, as I was filling up my kettle I got side tracked and forgot what i was doing, untill i heard water dripping  into my bed, the floor.... ahah good have been a bit of a disater.... silly billy aren't.

I work with a lady at work, whom i have called 'The Chocolate Lady' because I thought I loved chocolate but oh no, this lady loves chocoloate sooooo much she buys 30 + blocks at once, hunts the shops for sales on family blocked on the best chocolate in the world cadbury. She showed me a pitcure of her stash... oh wow!!! Which takes me to the muscle men

I think I have overcomed my retardness at the gym, lol... ahah who am I kidding I am hopless, soon ill turn into one of those chicks all dolled up to go to the gym incase I see him... ahahaa now I am just being a dick..
But I have decided that Men that a tooo over the top of the muscle world are gross, they can't put their arms down by their sides casue they are too big... If I took a picture of the afternoon gym junkies,, holy dooly... ROIDS!!!!

Sunday's adventures if raining will be working.... Oh i know, but it pay for the spirit of tasmanina, but if the sun is shinning i have a breaky date n lunch date....

Poo fright

For those who know me really well, mite be wondering how i am going to go, when if comes to the good old no.2 as i alwayas get poo fright,
I was in the shower tonite and occurred to me as I do not go in public, how am i going to get through 12months, ahahah i just  think this its gonig be soooo funny,
Since I have been at the new park i have not gone.... Poo Fright will need to be overcome.

I went back to the gym today, ahaha no falling off the tread mill this time, thank god only need to good like a fool once in a wk,
Emma would be proud as i have turned into a serial mopper,  i have inside thongs, and outside thongs, i dont like grass on my lil floor.

I am heading out for dinner tommorrow nite, my first night out, just a quite one, which will be exciting...

Afternoon drink anyone.....

its amazing how much you better feel with a good nites sleep.
So today I believe is the day that the realisation of what I am doing for the next 12months has
hit how great the next 12months will be.. The people i meet, the towns i see, the experince of a life time,

I even went to afternoon drinks, lol yup they have already started, its was nice to meet some of their locals in the park, they have been great helping get things sorted now ross's job has finished. I meet the owners of hte park and they are lovely... I think the move was a great opportunity in all aspects.

I wanted to take a picture of Precilla Queen of the desert that arrived (aka funski) yesterday but its gone, it was massive bus which made the WILDCAT look little, and i thought the WILDCAT was awesome as is has a electric bedroom on the side. pimping....

I have to put it out there, but i have become the clumsy gym person ever, and its only in the morning, as i think its because there is a guy thats guys there and make me nervous... its werid i nearly fell off the treadmill this morning.... wtf.... 

umbrella may be of usefullness

Well i have passed and made it through my first week of the 12months adventure..
Lets just say that 1 week feels like a month, I have had a teething week, went from Bush fires to 45degrees heat for 6 days to a crazy Storms, where i needed to batten down the hatches....

I have adopted another dad, grey nomad, grandad (ticks all the boxes) in helping me batten down the hatches, gave me some tips on how to tie down the annex and they will be staying till i leave as well... the dinners may come soon.
I also learned that umbrellas are a vital tool when needing to get from the van to the bathroom.

 I  really love my WAAAAECCOOOO food is cold n fresh, and I went back to my fav shop in the whole wide world today.... BUNNINGS!!!,  for ropes n pegs etc..... then back to bcf tomz to buy another pole...
Once i get set up, and know where to hammer the pegs where they are meant tooo be.

Sundays at a caravan park are the days when you bid farewell to one and welcome another, and I have learnt another thing, many people use the poo dumper.. if thats wat it is called.,... and i am right next to it... ahah with of my ANL car, 

Lets see what this great wk will bring........

45 degrees

Wat a lovely saturday..... woke up at 5.30 and i knew it was gunna get ya...
yup n it sure did 45 degrees, now  lesson one for everyone out there,
do not pack up and relocate in this type of weather, you a sweating, n sweating.. and i had no water so I had to drink vodka to Hydrate myself.
Now I have meet some lovely people, who have a hoilday cabin here,
Ron even helped me reverse, gave me directions and I did it myself,
My new back yard is pretty pimping...
I have also bought a new fridge, whooo waceo.. bloody good, its nice to have cold food...
So for a saturday nite  i am chilling outside watching a movie as its toooo bloody hot to sleep

shoes anyone..

So who would of thought shoes would be such a drama to society...
things come in 3's, and my shoes did,
Wesdnesday was incorrect shoes, so i went n bought a new pair...
Thursday don't walk around with no shoes on even 2meters
Friday 2 right footed shoes don't help you at all...
But do you know what I made it through one week of work only 3.5 wks to gooooooo......
Lesson learnt: DO NOT TRY and pull pegs out of a hard ground half cut,  not only do you get puff quickly but you can nearly fall over as the peg is winning!!!
Tommorrow is relocating day, possible first reversing day.... omg....
Right now i am chillaxing with my vodka yumberries, n a great nite under the stars...

yasi is on her way

Today was not as hot, but last nite it was nasty.... Went back to work today, and I think its time to introduce claim a hoop, To me we spend so much time as work to not have fun, wat the point in working, we spend that much time in the work place....
So I am gonig to bring the game on...
I am feeling  for my fellow Qldners tonite.... crazy times up there, whilst bush fires out west, Australia wat is the weather man doing to you,
i have also learnt that my fridge in vinny is not really a fridge, is only keeps drinks cool, and make food go off, but freezes well..... I am off to a caravan n camping show in saturday.... Look out expert camper here i come...

heat wave

2nd temp was over 35 degrees...
 3rd :so I went on a caravan park hunt after work and have found a new location right on the lake.... and much more welcoming.
Then the serial washer I am, the person who washes every day back home, was in a need to do some washing and I am serial washer that I am. And I am defiantly not paying for washing for as long as I can, so got on my hand and knees and washed all my clothes by hand. My anncestors will be proud..
So Day 3 at work tomz, very much considering gonig part time.... lol Less work more play....

A little sercret I may even have to reverse Vinny into his new spot on the wkend... GOODNESS ME!!!
