| 1963 | Hi Earthangel - great to hear you are on the mend. Have you thought of some cross stitch or other embroidery. Ideal from the sofa, totally non stressful and quite absorbing. I did a lot years ago when I was really cast for quite a while and it was excellent for removing the mind from all the things you "ought" to be doing. greerg - 2011-01-27 20:44:00 |
| 1964 | hey EA, something ive learnt in the last year, some things have to run there course, it will all work out in the end just have trust and work on not working and healing, once healed the world will be waiting :) HUGS!! motorbo - 2011-01-27 21:56:00 |
| 1965 | Hi Greerg,was thinking about cross stitch,then I thought I had a rug I started last year,would like to finish for our bedroom,but thanks for the ideas. earthangel4 - 2011-01-27 22:53:00 |
| 1966 | Hi earthangel, I have been admitted to hospital almost 60 times in the last four years or so, so I do know what it's like to feel frustrated by your physical condition and limited in your ability to do things. The biggest thing I have learned is to take great pleasure and satisfaction in the things you CAN do ... and not dwell on those you can't. This can be as small as being able to ring a friend and have time to listen to them, it does not have to be physical activity. You have to mentally adjust to your situation. Sometimes we have no control over what our bodies do, but we do ALWAYS have a choice about our thoughts. I send you all my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and the ability to cope with what comes your way :-) 2halls - 2011-01-28 07:37:00 |

| 1969 | Wow...60 times in the last 4 years..... Before Saturday I had been in to hospital only twice... and each time came home with a baby. I told the anaesthatist... that under no circumstances was this to happen this time lol. It was my first ever General.... he said he was putting something in the tube that would feel like a couple of G&T's.... Liar... lay there waiting for that lovely feeling for all of 2 seconds... then woke up in recovery. toadfish - 2011-01-28 08:40:00 |
| 1970 | Healing vibes to all that need it... hope your tonsils are feeling better Winnie... I always think you get tonsillitis when you get run down..... Winnie???? It must have been hard settling into shift work and I guess your body is having a wee "Revolt". Another day taking it easy... luckily being paid... quite like this full time work business... sometimes. The silver lining of my cloud is I have got to just hang out with the girls... not doing stuff and making the most of my day off.... just hanging... have loved it. Its been a very long time since I have done a full week... before Christmas now. Have a great day one and all, be happy.... And for a giggle have a look what I have just brought my sister in law for her birthday... apparently they have flowers on them now... wont she get a surprise! (I have brought one for me too... couldn't resist them. Edited by toadfish at 8:54 am, Fri 28 Jan toadfish - 2011-01-28 08:46:00 |

| 1976 | Hi all ... and thanks for the thoughts. Miss (nearly) 14 starts back at school on the 7th Feb ... thankfully she's at an Area School with no uniform so no big expense right after christmas! The other plus is because of the rural location, the kids live in shorts or jeans & tshirts year round with no pressure to make a fashion statement each school day. Much healthier I think. Have a good day everyone. winnie231 - 2011-01-28 10:56:00 |

| 1985 | Wow - it pays to clean up the bedroom once in a while. I found a stash of money that was enough to pay my lunch at a local cafe, then this afternoon in a disused suitcase I found some beautiful rose gold wire earrings I bought in Auckland and had never worn. I had thought I had lost them for good. calista - 2011-01-28 16:31:00 |

| 1988 | A Saturday bump! While camping we took the Takaka oaty ginger slice - YUM!!, and choc chip biscuits (AWW recipe I have), and I premixed some mince into hamburger mixture, which made 2 x easy dinners, and plenty of salad stuff for sandwiches. I picked up 20 bread rolls for $4.50 on special so that made it a cheap and easy choice for lunches/dinners. I made some chicken kebabs out of chicken thighs that were on special, and froze them covered with a peanut butter/sweetchilli/garlic marinade, they were delicious with wraps and tzatziki sauce - I could have made the tzatziki but ran out of time. Premixing and planning made it such a relaxing holiday! fastlanenz - 2011-01-29 10:35:00 |
| 1989 | hi fast... lol i think that i will come with you on holiday - sounds soooooooooooooooo yum!!!!! clever you for getting that all sussed and great prices too!! timetable - 2011-01-29 11:02:00 |

| 1993 | Some of you may know i know just a little bit about ACC.... and if you are self employed... you must.. must... must get cover plus extra. http://www.acc.co.nz/for-business/self-employed/cover-produc An example is a builder or shop keeper who has a bad year and makes $40K and profit shares $10K to partner leaving him/her with $30K.... of which if he has an accident ACC will pay him 80% of $30K.... to live on which is $461 BEFORE tax, as this is what his levies are paid on. What the same Builder/Shop Owner can do is say... What the books say I earn and what I really earn can sometimes be different (Once depreciation, expenses, profit share etc are taken off) What I really need is $50K to live on should I have an accident. You then specify that with ACC and then they pay you immediately (after the 1 week stand down) the agreed amount. If you didn't have extra you would have to go to the accountant and get up to date books.. and then its all held up till you can prove actual earnings....If you are having a good year.... too bad they pay you on the previous year... make sense Lecture over..... And for the records... I HATE ACC LEVIES.... you think a shop owner or Real Estate Person is bad... try being a self employed builder... horrendous.

| 1996 | It takes a while building up stamina again. I went to the local town centre as I have a birthday I HAD to buy for. Brought this fabulous Glass Teapot, with diffuser in the middle... 60% off at briscoes so cost me $24, plan to add some nice loose leaf tea afrom a speciality shop and the present is complete. But came home exhausted and slept for an hour. But I am trying to do more and more each day.... without overdoing it. Hope everyone is having a lovely day off... and for us Aucklanders... 2 more to come! Edited by toadfish at 4:38 pm, Sat 29 Jan toadfish - 2011-01-29 16:37:00 |
| 1997 | Hidey Hi... can relate to being self employed..in a "previous lifestyle " I was involved in the retail of Antiques/second hand very up and down industry but around beautiful things...some too hard to sell on...prior to that had trained and worked in hosp situation ...big difference.Now my employment is very iffy as can lose a client to holiday, hosp,death etc , always we are classed as casual workers. had no work over Xmas for 3wks though on call to return to roster once client returned from hosp...thankfully partner has a steady job! jbsouthland - 2011-01-29 17:03:00 |

| 2000 | Hi to you all.. I hope those unwell are healing well.. I was referred yesterday by the physiotherapist, back to have another ultrasound guided cortisone injection in my shoulder - last one in November helped.. it almost feels like the physio treatment is making it worse. Truly hope that this one in about a fortnight will help. I'm thinking of you all in Northland and other places affected by Tropical Cyclone Wilma.. It was a wild and very wet time here last night - Whakatane has been - maybe still is, apart from one lane along the Matata Straights - cut off from all directions with flooding, slips, etc.. no access out through Ohope - flooding and slips, Taneatua, the same - just on the news that a slip destroyed a house there, the Rotoma Hills, slips, and the Matata Straights, slips and flooding - though the Straights did have one lane open.. Unsettled sleep, keeping a check on what was happening outside.. checked on friends this morning - all ok with them.. incredibly now, it's brilliantly sunny, with a breeze and sometimes gusting winds blowing.. Friends are on a cruise which meant they were in the Bay of Islands area yesterday / last night - hopefully the ship sheltered among the islands and they weren't exposed to the winds that went through the area. This site is interesting to see the weather patterns just finished, currently and in days to come.. Keep safe everyone.. and yes, a day off on Monday for us too.. enjoy.. juliewn - 2011-01-29 18:04:00 |
