A BIT OF THIS & A BIT OF THAT.......

WEIGH IN:
Last week lost just over 1/2 kilo, so all up just over 4 kilos in a month, I was hoping for a least a 1 1/2 kilos for last week as I worked really hard but did not happen - oh well it wont happen over night but it will happen!


POOL RE-OPENED:
The pool re-opened last Sunday so I helped out Kelly and Macca and I ran the kiosk for them. It was a good turn out of adults and lots of screaming kids having a good time. Kelly said to me was I going swimming?, I said "thanks but not thanks", especially after seeing snotty nose kids coming up to the kiosk and I spotted a kid peeing in the pool, I'm quite happy with my sprinkler in my back yard!

MY WALKING:
Got back into my walking a few weeks ago and last week I headed out about 5.00pm (which was a no no) as just out of nowhere the real hot weather appeared- we have had just over the 40 degrees in the past week, because of daylight saving, 5.00pm is really 4.00pm, I was in a mass of sweat (I am sure it must of being about 40 degrees that day!) I had hardly any water left, I just wanted to die, and thought do I hitch a ride back into town? No walk tall and stride it home, was I glad to get home!

Received a phone call last night from AC to go walking in the morning, yep sure I am all for it as nothing beats an early morning walk, WELL of course AC piked it (I got a wake up call at 5.00am by Tiff on night shift) but me being the trooper than I am, headed off, WELL what a mistake was that as the flies annoyed the shit out of me the whole walk, my hand was like a windscreen wiper from shooing the little shits away!

FEDERAL ELECTIONS:
24th November is Federal Election Day which I am a Declaration Officer on that day, its going to be a long long day, every time they have elections I swear that would always be my last, but no I always get sucked in. I have fun people to work with so it wont be that bad. This is definitely my last stint doing the elections!

TIFF & BEN:
Leave town in 3 weeks or so, heading up to Onlsow, which is a little town on the coast, north of WA, Ben got a transfer with the Police Dept. Said to Tiff if that was the right move as Onslow is cyclone area and I hear the cane toads were heading down that way!! (Tiff is petrified of frogs!) that still didn't turn her off!


PENSIONERS:
When we send out our annual rate notices, Pensionser and Senior Card Holders get a discount and they are always the first ones in to pay them. Yesterday I realised that I had calculated some discounts wrong so I had to ring 3 of them up to let them know I made an error and so there was still an amount owing. I dreaded phoning them as I knew they were going to blast me for not calculating it correctly at the time (which was understandable) but to my surprise they were all very pleasant and understanding and said they would all be in in the next few days to pay. God bless the pensioners!

FACEBOOK:
I became a facebook user a few weeks ago - but I still prefer and love my BLOG!
