A girly day out!!

My Mum is on holidays at the moment so today we had planned to meet up and do 'something' so anyway my neice Rasharna has a bit of the flue and her Mum was working so she stayed at Grandma's last night and today so we had a girls day out today and went and did a bit of shopping/browsing.

We had a big browse through the Warehouse (cheapo discount store) to start us off. They get some cool stuff in there from time to time. I bought a couple of bunches of cheapy fabric flowers to pull apart for scrapbooking and a couple of little bits and pieces including this gorgeous little hippo noughts and crosses set. Isn't it adorable?
After that we had a little drive around a couple of streets checking out some of the houses in the area, there's a lot of really great restorations being done lately. Then we headed down to the Sweet 'n Shabby shop, which is gorgeous, Home Beautiful and then the Complete Garden. My Mummy bought me this stunning mat for my front door. I couldn't beleive it when we saw them, they were only $12.something each and they are made from rubber so they'll last for ages. I LOVE it, it my new favourite thing around my house. Then we headed off to All About House, then we realised that it was 2.30 and we hadn't had lunch so we went to Stocklands and grabbed some lunch. After that we trotted off to Loot, had a browse and my Mum bought me these cool sticks, how spoiled am I and they were a bargain too at $6 a bunch. After a bit more of a browse around I grabbed my groceries and we went home.
Our poor little man is a bit sicky at the moment. He's got a bit of the flue, snotty face and a nasty cough. Last night he came in with us at about 2am and was crying on and off all night. He was bright and chirpy this morning but snotty as hell and off his food this morning and he's been a bit upset most of the afternoon. It makes you feel just awful when your little ones are sick and it's so hard to console them. He perked up a bit tonight after his bath, 3 tubs of yoghurt, 8ml of panadol and 6ml of cough medicine. He's asleep now so I hope he has a restful night and feels better in the morning.

On the work front, hmmmmm well. My boss is leaving, boo hoo hoo. He's going down south to be closer to his family and we'll be getting someone new. It's always such a stressful time for all the staff. The second there's a whisper about a franchisee change everyone starts panicing. Me included to a degree. I guess because I only work 2 days a week anyway if I do get made redundant or something it's not that much of an issue but it sucks. I LOVE my job. I really really hope things don't change. I've got couple of work from home opportunities in the near future so, well, I don't know. It'll all work itself out. The other thing is that we're a pretty friendly group (most of the time) at work and socialise together quite a bit and I'm going to miss him and his wife and their kids. So anyway, it sucks. :P And also our 2IC is getting his own store as well so he and his family are leaving as well. So lots of change, I don't like change. (Well sometimes I do but change that I'm not controllng myself I'm not fond of)

Anyhoo, here's the frame thingy I've done for the cyber crop challenge over at 3 Angels Scrapping.
Oh plus it's been bloody cold here today.
