Wednesday was a work day and not a really eventful one at that. I went to hockey training on Weds evening and I had every intention of going to BigW at midnight for the toy sales. WELL, I put in my postcode on the BigW website and it said that Mandurah and Gateways were opening at midnight. So I jumped in the car at 1130 and took off to Gateways. I got there at about 5 to 12 and there wasn't a soul to be seen. So I drove home :-( When I went back to their website it seems there were 2 sets of opening hours. One at the end of the catalogue section and one if you just used the standard store locator....guess which one was correct?? grrrrrrrr
My PAD for Wednesday was taken when the boys were in the bath and I really like it :-)
Thursday morning MrJ had an interview and I took the boys to the last Kindygym of the term. After kindygym we went for cookie and milkshake with AuntyC, MasterS and BabyW. MasterS and MasterJ were terrible the whole time we were there, but did give me my PAD hehehe.......
MrJ's interview went well, now he has to wait to hear back what they might be prepared to pay him.
I did the grocery shopping in the afternoon and took off to Kmart with AuntyC in the evening. It was a very successful trip where I managed to get more than half the toys I was after! I was glad to see my bed that night!!!
Friday morning we dropped the boys at school and took off to Mandurah to BigW to pick up the rest of the toys I had listed. Again, a very successful trip!! As you can see in my PAD, I should have shares in Fisher Price LOL I now have all the christmas presents for the boys as well as MasterA's birthday. I also have ALL birthday presents needed between now and christmas in addition to christmas presents for all the kiddies we know. They are labelled and stashed away in the shed.
In the afternoon I had to go to the Burswood for the BMI project kick off meeting. Afterwards I spoke with the Project Manager about the proposal for me to go full time for 3 months. It seems that HR have a problem with this as they are not willing to pay me the salary that I am currently pro-rata paid for 3 days a week as it is apparently over a certain percentile on the Hay scale. Sooooooooooo.......I have news for them. I am not working anything extra than my 3 days a week. I am not going to do an extra half day here or there (like Friday) if they are not prepared to pay me for it. It should be interesting to see how it pans out.
Also, I had a call from a contact on Friday about an "opportunity" and we unfortunately played phone tag all day. So I am looking forward to hearing what it might be on Monday!!
So I arrive at today, Saturday. It was the boys last swimming lessons for this term and they both did a great job. This afternoon I played hockey and we were thrashed again. Soooooo disappointing - especially when people are just whacking the ball to nowhere when I am standing there free as bird doing sweet FA grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........it was the top team we played, but still, there were more opportunities to be had so we didn't have a 0 score on our end.
Before hockey I drove around to get a PAD and ended up at St John of God Hospital in Murdoch where the boys were born. They have lovely grounds there, so this is my shot for today.
