I'm sick... so I'm not happy

I'm not the most amiable when I'm sick. But then again, who is?

Yesterday morning I woke up with what felt like a golf ball in my throat and by the time I got home from work in the evening I had a full on cold. I stayed up watching today till the early hours of the morning to avoid having to lie down and try and sleep.

When I did finally go to bed I slept in the spare room. That way I could grumble and moan, cough and blow my nose as much as I wanted to without worrying about disturbing my sleeping husband. I'm glad I did because I ended up having a really good sleep.

I'm totally blocked up and croaky today but at least I'm at home and I don't have any other aches and pains to go with it.

Time for a DVD I think.

Catching up with old friends

Last night I caught up with a good friend who I haven't seen in ages... like... years. And it was soooo good! She's now got two kids (who are just as laid back as she is) and life seems to be treating her well.
It was so nice to be able to just sit and chat and reminisce about how things used to be.

I forgot my key...

Oh man! I got home this afternoon and didn't realise till I was almost at my front door that I didn't have a house key!
So off to the nice, warm library I went and found a good book to read while I waited for Ben to get home.
Of course just as I was getting into it Ben rang.

The great weekend continues

Even though it's absolutely bucketing down outside I'm still having a fantastic weekend. Yesterday my cousin's baby girl arrived and then my other cousin announces they're having a baby too. I've been able to just hang out with my favourite people (my family) and it's just been lovely. One more lunch today and then they'll all start heading home.

Magic

This blog is like magic. I put something on it and moments later it's on the web for all the world to see.

I want the world to see this site that I've been building on Health Insurance Auckland.

So this morning...

This morning I bid my nook nooks arohanui (Maori for love in abundance :) and settled into a wonderful Friday. Have I gone on about the fact that I love Friday's a little too much? I have to admit that I'm a bit lucky in my life. There's not much to complain about... at all! All we're working on at the moment is to buy our freedom from having to GO to a job everyday. To that effect I'm doing a little test with my blog. This post is one of those tests. Results tomorrow. :)

The Weekend Begins

I still LOVE Thursdays... I don't work again till Monday and I just love having a three day weekend.

And the whanau are  coming up this weekend so I get to hang out with my cousins.

It's shaping up to be a good weekend. :)

Longer hours

I've started working longe hours.

Now I work from 7.30am to 6pm with a half hour lunch break.

But it's still only Monday to Thursday so I'm getting a full weeks wages for only four days!

Yay!

Loving the Ride

I'm loving the ride that life is taking me on at the moment.
I wouldn't say that anything spectacular is happening... it's just the prospect of good things to come. Of realising that I get to design my own life and future.

Insurance Whangarei

There When You Need It

Insurance is one of those things in life that you know you should have... but your really hope that you don't ever need it. But when you need it, oh you need it ever so badly.
For me, insurance isn't about taking away all of the pain of an 'event', but it is about taking away as much of the FINANCIAL pain as possible.
There are so many different types of insurance available to cover almost every type of incident that could possibly happen to a person, and it is a specialist area that is full of jargon and confusing terms and conditions.
So it's here that insurance brokers come into their own. Providing consumers with advice on what insurance products best suit their own circumstances.
Insurance Whangarei offers help and advice on life insurance, house insurance and everything in between!

Mortgage Brokers Whangarei

Mortgage Brokers Whangarei

Mortgage Brokers Whangarei - What's it all about?

Buying a new home can be a scary enough process in itself... to then have to go and get a mortgage can add another layer of complexity on top of that. But then.... you have to wade your way through the hundreds of mortgage products on offer and it can all become just too much.

This is where mortgage brokers Whangarei come in to the picture. A mortgage broker is someone who looks at your particular circumstances and needs and finds the most appropriate home loan for you. They take into account your income, age, goals, etc and find a product that has the most appropriate features for you.

They DO get a commission from whichever bank or financial institution they take you to, but that commission does not come directly out of your pocket (although of course you do pay for it, by virtue of the fact that you're paying the bank and the bank then pay the mortgage broker).

Mortgage Brokers Whangarei provides a valuable service to consumers in helping them to wade through all the jargon and find the best product for them.

Testing my new blog

I've added a new blog to my network today... and I want to see if it's working okay.

Hello 'Go Run Amok!'

That didn't last very long!

Well my day at home alone didn't last very long!

About an hour after my last post Ben walked in the door! He had to make a few deliveries up north for work so he picked me up on the way. And we spend a lovely day driving around. I loved it. :)

Home Alone

I think this is the first full day in about a year that I'm home alone while Ben is at a full time job. He started this week and it looks like it's going to be an okay job.
And I'm here at home cracking on to my new insurance website. Yeah baby!

My Forgettory is Alive and Well

It's seems amazing to me that for something that I wish to do every day (write in this blog) I consistently FORGET! It's not like I don't log in to my email every single day of my life (and I send these posts from my email) so you'd think after a few months at this I wouldn't forget all the time. But I do. It's no wonder I forget to do the other stuff that's important too like reading motivational material or affirmations.

Barriers

I've been reading a lot today about barriers. In particular, the barriers that stop me from doing the work that I actually want to do... which is build a busines.

I'd say that reading too much is one of those barriers!

Hmmm

Taumarunui

This weekend we're heading down to Taumarunui for some trust meetings to do with my great grandmothers land shares. It's basically just a chance to start connecting with that side of the family.

So I've gotta work hard tomorrow cos I won't be able to do anything on Saturday.

It's ma birthday

Well... not till tomorrow.

But I got an email this morning from an article directory saying it's rudgeinc's birthday and I can send a birthday greeting or a paid membership.

Wow, so I have to buy my own presents now.

Queens Birthday

It's been an eventful and fun Queens birthday weekend.

Yesterday the guys replaced the roof of the garage at Morningside. It didn't even take them all day and when we were inside enjoying dinner and a few drinks... the heavens opened and the roof was tested. All good. Everything safe and dry inside.

Whangarei Rains

It's been raining all day today. It's let up for small patches here and there, but we haven't seen the sun at all.

We ended up having to take four loads of washing down to the laundromat to be dried.

And tomorrow we're meant to be replacing the roof of the garage at Morningside.

We'll see.

It started today.

Friday the 3rd of June marks the day when it all began.

First I had to get over myself. Get over the fear of rejection. Seriously... why do I think that people will hate me if I email them. And more importantly... why do I care.

We have a business service that businesses NEED! Why on earth would they think I'm a silly girl for approaching them to see if they would like to get more traffic to their websites?

I dunno.

But today I got over it and sent out 4 emails just here in Whangarei.

I got three  very interested respondents.

See, it's the start.

What a way to start the weekend. I have my work cut out for me now. :)

Early Start

It's an early start this morning.

I found my cousin

I haven't seen Janelle for, literally, years. Maybe 15 years or more? The last time I saw her she was a customs officer at Auckland airport and I didn't recognise her as I gave her my passport. Prior to that I only saw her occasionally. That's it.

Now we've found each other on facebook and I'm delighted to learn that she's delving in to the world of internet marketing. Delighted for me because there's someone in my world who I can talk to about this stuff.

We now have more in common than just blood. I like that.

I like that she seems to be a cool chick too. I hope people think it runs in the family. :)
