"I love you man"







Well thought it was time to write something again. Been living here in Dunedin for like 4 weeks or so. Quite a lot has happened really. I moved into Anne and Rasmus's place who have just found out they are pregnant, which is awesome. We're all very excited about that. I am not really enjoying me job that much, but the girls working there are really cool, which always make things better. I have other big news but it is a bit recent so i won't say anything yet! bit it is also very exciting...
I have been up to Christchurch quite a few times to see Bang and the gang and last weekend Rob, Bang and I went out on the town. It was an awesome night. It started off slow but was cranking by the end of it. We stayed at a backpackers and got back there at 5.20am in the morning after going to a NOS bar where Bang shouted me and Rob heaps of NOS ballons. I was a bit scared to try it at the start but after one go I had a few more. Rob was so waisted he was a crack up. He and I kept telling eachother how much we loved eachother all night, as we usually do went we drink. I do love that guy!!! We went to the Casino too and Rob was trying to find his old work mates, but unfortunately he didn't recognise many people working there and they didn't recognise him. Its always sad when that happens after working somewhere for so long. He bet on a few games of blackjack and lost. We go like 4 hours sleep and had to check out of the back packers, which was tough. I was worried about driving back to Dunedin because i was munted, but fortunately I bumped into my cousin the night before and he needed a ride to dunedin. So he drove all the way and i slept. So that worked out well.
Anyway i wish i had some photo's of the weekend with Rob but i couldn't find my camera to take with me. But about I have posted some photo's of my the previous time i went to Christchurch and when I went to Queenstown with my Swedish friend Maria and Kristen (my niece's mum). Maria got drugged that night. Someone put something in her drink. It was scary stuff. She was ok though. So girls always keep an eye on your drinks. Its becoming more and more common!!!

Jobbies



Here is a photo of me and my friend Kristin (who is the mother of my neice Chloe) out at Aromoana and thats a photo of my toe that i stubbed about 10 minutes after that first photo. It was painful man.
Well I thought I'd better write something. Keeps ya's updated on my exciting life. My whole family now live in Dunedin. Paul arrived the other day. How crazy is that. we all haven't lived in the same town for years. This is going to be interesting...
Well I now have a job. Its not the most exciting place but the pay is pretty good and it is the right type of working environment that i need right now as i get settled. I am senior sales person at Shantons. Although a lot of oldies shop there, there are also a lot of pretty cool stuff. I went for a Store Managers position at Diva that is opening up in the mall, and got that also, but it was mostly sole charge and it would have been hard to get time off if i ever needed it so i turned it down. I have to say it felt good that both places wanted me. I must not be as bad at interviews as i thought i was. I also got a 2nd interview for a receptionist position at Les mills but the pay was poor so i flagged that. So i feel good about all of that...
Not much else has been happening really. I went to Queenstown with my friends Kristin and Maria from Sweden and had a night out last weekend. It was pretty good times. Drove through good ol' Roxburgh. Had a bit of a reminace (spelling???). Stopped at the good ol' Molynxeu dairy for a hocky pocky ice cream. it was really nice.
I am hopefully going to Chch this weekend to visit some peeps. So all is going pretty good. Miss my friends in OZ like Crazy man. I really do! I have never missed them so much. So keep in touch you guys.
So thats about it!!! CHOW!!!
