quiet weekend

Having a quiet weekend been working today so really tired. Hopefully going on a road trip next weekend to Hokitika on the west coast. Since I work 3 out of 4 Saturdays we have decided to go road trips each weekend I am free.

Funny the other day our housemate adeline left her lights on her car so I had to help her jump start her car obviously I have never done this before so i held the torch and made her attach the jumper leads following some dodgy instructions from the web on how to do it!! LOL worked though

Well it has been a quiet week on the work front for me no work at all this week. Next week I am on a 2 day trial for part time shop job Mon/Tues and registering with Madison Recruitment on Wednesday at 10am. Going to have a quiet weekend as Mark working tomorrow 9 -1 will prob just go out for a coffee and do usual food shop then Mark colouring my hair on Sunday:-)

Trial

Good news next week I have a two day trial at Souvenirs @ The Square on Monday and Tuesday from 3  to 5pm:-)

Change of plans

Well after compiling 3 quotes for Residency we realise at present we cannot afford to apply so we going take it year by year and apply for Work Permits until we can afford Residency - one thing for sure we ain't going home we wanna live here:-)

Day Out

Today we made most of Sun and went first to Sumner where we had a 2 for 1 coffee at The Rock. Had to wait half an hour as the Jaguar club members were there 50 of them!! Then we went to Gondola and had free ride to top where we had another coffee abd some chips and talked with Marks ex co workers for a while then had little walk and admired views before heading back to Christchurch and to Market and Gardens then back home:-)

Work

Got a days work from Randstad today at EduKids Styx Mill from 9:30 - 6pm:-)

Immigration Update

We are now in touch with an Immigration Consultant in Rangiora - he states atm we cant apply for Residency unless Mark can get the Title of ICT Sales Representative so he will talk with the Boss and see if they will name him that then we will apply:-)

Kaikoura

Yesterday we left early at 7:00 for Kaikoura .We stopped in Cheviot en route for breakfast, we got to Kaikoura for 10:30.

We checked into the Top 10 Holiday Park and then drove 20 mins out to look at the baby seals at the waterfall.

We relaxed in the cabin before heading into town for our tea – crayfish and fries.

Had a great nights sleep very quiet then set off back for Christchurch 9am this morning via inland scenic route 70 stopped at mt Lyford lodge for lunch and Hurunui hotel for coffee.

 

Arrived back to urban dream 2:20pm

Work

I got two hours work today at ABC centre in St Albans round 20 minute walk from where we are living seems I get work every Friday at the moment. Mark has this weekend off then working two consecutive Saturdays so hope to go somewhere tomorrow just not sure where yet:-)

Ivory Towers

Well its seems we have made peace with our old boss Ann.Things went a bit pear shaped for her to after we left currently trying to twist her arm in letting us work back there. Would jump at the chance to work back in Fox Glacier and would quit my job in a flash to work back in the tourism industry.
Not really enjoying the job its not really me sat behind a desk most of the day talking about computers I have no clue about (way out of touch with what’s out there and not really into geeky numbers and stuff) and targets and sales forecasts.

Willowbank

Today we visited Willowbank Nature Reserve around 20 minute drive from City Centre. It was a nice day out fed the animals and had wedges and lattes:-)
